Why Oil Cleansing Works
Your cleanser can't remove what this can.
Makeup, SPF, sebum, and environmental pollutants are all oil-soluble compounds. Water-based cleansers — no matter how strong — can't fully dissolve them. This is why even after a thorough wash, residual pigments, sunscreen polymers, and oxidized sebum remain in pores and on the skin surface.
Oil cleansing works on a simple chemistry principle: like dissolves like. Oil-based formulas bond instantly with oil-based impurities and lift them cleanly away from the skin — taking waterproof mascara, full-coverage foundation, and SPF with them — without stripping the skin's own lipid barrier in the process.
This formula uses five pure oils chosen specifically for their cleansing efficacy, skin compatibility, and non-comedogenic profile. No water to dilute them. No emulsifiers to compromise them. Just oil working at maximum potency.
The Double Cleanse.
Why it matters.
Why it matters.
Oil cleansing alone removes the first layer — makeup, SPF, and oil-based buildup. But water-soluble impurities like sweat, environmental pollution, and water-based product residue require a second step. The two-step ritual ensures your skin is completely clean before you apply anything else — and that the toner, serums, and moisturizers that follow can penetrate at full efficacy.
Step 1 — Oil Cleanser
Dissolves all oil-based impurities: makeup, SPF, oxidized sebum, and pollutant particles bonded to skin oils.
Step 2 — Cold Process Soap Bar
Complete the cleanse with a Nobiesse Cold Process Soap Bar. Handcrafted in small batches, our bars remove water-soluble residue — sweat, environmental pollutants, and remaining product traces — while preserving your skin's natural moisture barrier. Unlike commercial soaps loaded with synthetic detergents, cold process bars retain their natural glycerin, leaving skin clean, soft, and balanced. Never stripped.
Result — Maximum Absorption
A fully clean surface means every product that follows — toner, serum, eye treatment, moisturizer — absorbs at its maximum efficacy.
5 ingredients.Every one of them earned its place.
Sweet Almond Oil
Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil
The cornerstone of the formula. Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and structurally similar to human sebum — meaning it dissolves oil-based impurities efficiently while mimicking and replenishing the skin's own lipid content. Rich in oleic and linoleic acid. Leaves skin noticeably softer, never greasy.
Medium Chain Triglycerides
MCT oil — derived from coconut
The primary solvent in the formula. MCT oil has an exceptionally small molecular structure that penetrates instantly, dissolving oil-based makeup and SPF on contact. Odorless, colorless, and one of the fastest-absorbing carrier oils available. Provides the formula its signature silky, non-sticky texture.
C13-15 Alkane
Biosynthetic lightweight emollient
A next-generation biosynthetic emollient that gives the formula its ultra-light, skin-like slip. Derived from sustainable plant sugars via fermentation — not petroleum. Exceptional at dissolving sebum and cosmetic pigments while leaving zero residue. Creates the clean, non-greasy finish after removal.
Jojoba Oil
Simmondsia chinensis seed oil
Technically a liquid wax — structurally the closest natural substance to human skin oil. Non-comedogenic, balances sebum production, and provides a nourishing layer that conditions the skin post-cleanse. Particularly effective at dissolving waterproof eyeliner and mascara around the delicate eye area.
Vitamin E
Tocopherol
A fat-soluble antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals generated by makeup pigments, UV exposure, and environmental pollutants on the skin's surface. Also stabilizes the other oils in the formula, extending shelf life naturally. A small concentration delivers significant antioxidant protection during the cleansing process.

How to use it.
Apply to completely dry skin
This is critical — water prevents the oil from bonding with oil-based impurities. Dispense 2–3 pumps directly onto dry face, including over closed eyes and lashes.
Massage for 30–60 seconds
Use circular motions across the face, paying extra attention to areas with heavy makeup, SPF, or congestion. The oil is actively dissolving and lifting impurities during this step — don't rush it.
For waterproof mascara — press and hold
Press a small amount of oil onto closed lashes and hold for 5–10 seconds before sweeping gently downward. The oil breaks down the polymer bonds in waterproof formulas without any tugging or pulling.
Wipe away or rinse, then continue
Remove with a warm damp cloth or rinse with water. Follow immediately with the Clarifying Natural Face Toner to complete the double cleanse and correct skin pH before applying serums and moisturizers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What people ask before they buy.
Is this safe for sensitive skin or the eye area?
Is this safe for sensitive skin or the eye area?
Yes. The formula is fragrance-free and contains only five non-irritating oils. Sweet Almond and Jojoba are both consistently rated among the gentlest oils for sensitive skin. It's safe to massage directly over closed eyes and lashes — the oil won't sting and won't irritate the delicate eye area.
Will this clog my pores or cause breakouts?
Will this clog my pores or cause breakouts?
No. Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Oil are both non-comedogenic — they're rated low on the comedogenic scale and won't block pores. MCT oil and C13-15 Alkane are also well-established as non-comedogenic. This formula is specifically designed to prevent the congestion that many heavier cleansing oils cause.
Does it remove waterproof mascara and long-wear makeup?
Does it remove waterproof mascara and long-wear makeup?
Yes — completely, in one pass. Press the oil onto lashes for 5–10 seconds before sweeping gently downward. The oil breaks the polymer bonds in waterproof formulas without any pulling or rubbing. Waterproof eyeliner dissolves the same way. No dedicated eye makeup remover needed.
Do I need to double cleanse or can I use this alone?
Do I need to double cleanse or can I use this alone?
We recommend the full double cleanse. This product removes all oil-based impurities — makeup, SPF, oxidized sebum. Following with the Clarifying Natural Face Toner removes water-soluble residue and corrects your skin's pH, ensuring everything you apply afterward absorbs at maximum efficacy. Used alone, the oil cleanser still does its job, but the second step significantly improves the results of your full routine.
What is C13-15 Alkane and is it safe?
What is C13-15 Alkane and is it safe?
C13-15 Alkane is a biosynthetic lightweight emollient derived from plant sugars via fermentation — not a petroleum derivative. It's the ingredient responsible for the formula's signature weightless, non-sticky finish after cleansing. EWG rates it as one of the safest emollient ingredients available. It's increasingly used in clean beauty as a replacement for silicones and heavier synthetic esters.
Can I use this in the morning too?
Can I use this in the morning too?
We recommend using it in the evening only. In the morning your skin hasn't accumulated the oil-based load it does overnight, and a full oil cleanse can be unnecessarily stripping of the lipids your skin naturally restored during sleep. A gentle splash of water or the toner alone is sufficient for a morning refresh before applying SPF and makeup.
