      Specialised Botanical Cleansing Complex 

      A harmonious blend of phyto-lipids and omega rich botanicals, including Organic Chia, Rosehip, and Macadamia, achieve the delicate balance of removing makeup and impurities while leaving essential skin conditioning lipids.  

      Conditioning and Protective Complex

      Emma's Tips

      If you’re new to using an Oil Cleanser, it might feel unusual for your skin to feel hydrated and dewy after cleansing, but this is exactly what our oil cleanser is designed to do – remove makeup and impurities, while leaving a healthy and hydrating lipid profile.

      If you are cleansing in the shower, I recommend cooling the water temperature slightly to cleanse your face compared with the heat you’re likely using on your body.

      Skin feels amazing

      First time using an oil cleanser and was pleasantly surprised. Skin feels so clean, radiant and hydrated unlike other cleansers I've used where my skin feels stripped and dry. I have very dry skin and this cleanser has really transformed my skin.

      The only oil cleanser I need

      This cleanser is amazing like all my other Emma Lewisham products. My skin loves it and seems to be looking a lot healthier since I started using this cleaners. Love the smell of it too, feels more luxurious than any other oil cleansers I’ve used. The bottle also lasts ages. I got my first bottle at the beginning of the year and it’s still going.

      Hands down the BEST cleanser!

      Religiously been using this cleanser now for around 3 years & probably will forever now. Cleared my blemishes (always an issue on my chin area) & just leaves amazing feeling skin. A little bit of luxe for every day - wonderful product!

      Always swear by this cleanser

      This has been my go-to cleanser, it never makes my skin feel tight or dry, and always feels clean with a beautiful glow. Works perfectly for my dry, but sometimes oily and also acne prone skin. Love it!

      Great oil cleanser

      Love this oil cleanser! I use it in the evenings - it's great at removing SPF at the end of the day. The bottle lasts for ages! Repeat buyer - it's my go-to.

      Love an oil cleanser now!

      I'd never tried an oil cleanser before now. I'd always thought I needed a foaming cleanser I could use in the shower until my face was squeaky clean. After a lot of research I realized I was so wrong! My skin routine has now turned into an "alone-time" moment that I get so excited about as the products are luxurious. I go through all the steps morning & night as I now see it as a necessary investment in my skin that I've previously neglected my whole life.
