Water-free cleansing oil for tender cleansing of the body and face*. After contact with water it forms a white, soft, silky cream-foam that helps remove unwanted particles without disrupting the skin barrier and skin microbiome. Avocado Oil and Almond Oil are the base of the cleanser enriching the skin with nutrient lipids and vitamins E and C, leaving the skin deeply nourished and moisturized. The product effectively cleanses the skin while retaining its natural PH level, moisture and hydration. The combination of essential oils tones up the skin and protects it from stress and free radicals, leaving a light, velvet, nourishing and lubricious 'film', with a base note of ylang-ylang flowers.

* Especially well suited for normal and oily face skin types. For sensitive face skin types and for extensive use on the face we recommend the Apricot Kernel Oil Cleanser that is free from essential oils and especially formulated for face cleansing (launching in spring 2024)

How to use it

How to refill the ceramic packaging:

Open the stopper at the bottom of the ceramic vessel and clean the insides with a toothbrush and a drop of dishwasher detergent. Can also be washed in the dishwasher machine. Let dry and put the bottom stopper in again. Open the refill bag, bend one side and pour the product inside the ceramic vessel through the hole at the top. A funnel can be used if you find it hard to fill the vessel by hand, but shouldn't be necassary.


Dispose or reuse of the refill bag:

Wash the bag with dishwasher detergent and let air dry. Can be reused as a storage bag for food or anything that requires hermetic storage. Recycle as soft plastic OR put it in the pre-payed return envelope and have it sent to us so that we can properly recycle it on our end.

Please use the code ENVELOPEME at checkout if you wish to receive a return envelope with your refill

Storage

Store just like regular cosmetics in room temperature. The absence of water is a preservative in itself, without the microbiome compromising side effects.

We recommend that solid products (ie Butter & Balm) shouldn't be exposed to temperatures above 25 degrees celsius as the natural butters inside the formulas might take on another structure. The products are still safe to use shall they be exposed to heat and lose their original texture.

The product is recommended to be used within 2 years and within 6 months from opening the seal.

Shipping & Returns

Stock items are packed and shipped within 2-5 business days. We ship to the EU, Norway, UK, Switzerland, San Marino, USA & Canada.

Packaging design story

To ensure the secure delivery of our refills, we've opted for an aluminum bag augmented with plastic. While we acknowledge that this solution doesn't fully align with our core values, it currently represents the most secure and lightweight storage method available. Rest assured, we are actively developing a more sustainable alternative for our refill program, with plans to introduce a greener solution soon.

In the meantime, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact. To support this, we provide a complimentary return envelope for customers to send back their used bags. This allows us to responsibly dispose of them on our end. Additionally, the quality of our bags is such that they can be washed and repurposed in households, making them versatile for various uses, such as storing food.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work towards a more sustainable future for our refill program.

Common questions

With a focus on a streamlined product portfolio, our versatile formulas cater to all skin types – whether sensitive, dry, oily, acne-prone, young, mature, or across genders. We achieve this inclusivity by incorporating ingredients suitable for every skin type.

The primary decision lies in Face Care, where we offer two options: the 6in1 Serum and the 6in1 Elixir.

The Serum, designed for all skin types and ages, gently refines and regenerates.

For a more potent anti-aging effect, the 6in1 Elixir includes Retinol, but may cause irritation in sensitive skin and should always be paired with UV protection in day light.

These two options can be seamlessly combined – the 6in1 Serum for Day Care and the 6in1 Elixir for Night Care.

Although we operate in the Premium segment, our products are perceived as affordable by the majority of our thousands of customers, and here's why. Traditional cosmetic products often consist of 80% water, acting as a filler without specific benefits for the skin. "Aqua" typically tops the ingredient label, reflecting its volume dominance. While water costs close to nothing, it's primarily used to dilute the product, with customers unknowingly paying for an abundance of it.

Imagine the transformation when that 80% water is replaced with a highly active ingredient like Rosehip Oil, even though it comes at a higher cost. Our formulas become not only more potent but also more concentrated, requiring significantly less product per use. Additionally, our products boast an average volume x3 larger than standard offerings, coupled with multifunctionality. This translates to fewer product units needed, reduced frequency of repurchasing, and a lower price per milliliter, making our Premium Skincare accessible without compromise.

While our products grace the shelves of select niche stores, hotels, and SPAs (se Stockists section on the website), you won't find them at major retailers. This intentional decision stems from our commitment to maintaining affordability. Larger retailers often demand substantial discounts, around 80%, which, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate without compromising our accessible pricing. Rather than inflating our prices by 50% to conform to industry standards, we've opted to concentrate our efforts on niche retailers and our online community, ensuring our products remain within reach for our valued customers.

First of all, hydration comes from water and moisture comes from oils, and there is a common misconception that hydration of the skin comes from the water in
creams and lotions. True hydration comes from the water molecules in the air and from the water we drink/eat. Our skin barrier (if fully functioning) takes these molecules and hydrates all the skin layers from the inside out. This is why dry skin is really not just dry but a skin barrier that has lost it's function of retaining and keeping the water balance. An optimal hydration
and moisturizing level comes from within through something called the water-oil balance. While topical application does give a temporary mechanic hydration of the outer skin layer, it doesn’t hydrate the deeper skin layers. So instead of keeping the skin barrier busy with trying to stop irritants from topical products penetrating the skin, we believe it’s best to let it do what it was designed to do in the first place - self hydrate and self regenerate.

Our sourcing strategy is based on three main principles:

1. Quality
2. Sustainable and responsible raw material production
3. Using waste products when possible

Clay is not more fragile in breaking than glass, which is a common packaging material in cosmetics. Many interior refill hand soap dispensers are also made out of clay which should give you an idea of what it may be like. If nevertheless your Oquist packaging would break we will send you a new one.
