How it works

The product begins as a gel that contains natural micelles, which help to lift and trap impurities such as SPF, dirt, pollutants, and makeup. As it transforms into a lightweight oil, it effectively breaks down and dissolves these substances. Key emollients like caprylic/capric triglyceride, Sambucus nigra seed oil, shea oil, and sweet almond oil work to soften and condition the skin. Glycerin acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin. Safflower seed oil polyglyceryl-4 esters, sucrose stearate, and sucrose laurate serve as emulsifying agents, ensuring the formula transitions smoothly between phases. Upon rinsing, the formula transforms into a milk, allowing the emulsified impurities to be washed away while leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
