Première Cleansing Oil
The first step is the most important.
Première Cleansing Oil is a slow, intentional oil cleanser designed to dissolve makeup, mineral sunscreen, excess sebum, and daily buildup—without stripping the skin barrier.
Before foaming cleansers and surfactants, there was oil. Oil dissolves oil. It lifts what does not belong while preserving what does.
This plant-based cleansing oil is formulated for modern skin exposed to city air, long days, and layered skincare. It cleans thoroughly while leaving skin soft, balanced, and prepared for nourishment.
No foam. No emulsifiers. No fillers.
Just purposeful plant oils chosen for how they behave on the skin.

How to Use
Dispense a quarter-sized amount into dry palms.
Massage intentionally onto dry skin, allowing the oil to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and buildup. Add a touch of warm water to soften. Remove with a warm, damp cloth.
Skin is left clean, soft, and undisturbed—ready for your serum, balm, or face oil.
For heavy makeup or long-wear sunscreen, repeat for a true double cleanse.
Première Cleansing Oil is a gentle, plant-based oil cleanser designed to dissolve makeup, mineral sunscreen, excess sebum, and daily buildup without stripping or disrupting the skin barrier.
Unlike traditional foaming cleansers that rely on surfactants, this non-foaming cleansing oil works through affinity—oil dissolves oil. It lifts what does not belong while preserving the skin’s natural moisture and protective lipids.
