Anhydrous Oil Cleanser

Choose the cleanser variant, then set the slider where used.

Reactive

100% safflower

FixedNo variance

Overall Feel

Lightest and quietest option. High-linoleic safflower keeps the cleanser simple for skin that does better with minimal lipid weight.

Selected variant: 100% safflower

Reactive Ingredients

Reactive variant
100 ml Safflower Oil
Optional antioxidant
0.5–1 ml Vitamin E (Tocopherol) (optional)

Reactive Method

Add: measure the safflower oil into a completely dry bottle or beaker.
Finish: add vitamin E if using, then swirl or roll until uniform.
Rest: cap, label, and let the blend settle for 30 minutes before first use.

Reactive Storage & Use

Massage onto dry or slightly damp skin, then wipe or rinse lightly.
This is the lowest-input option and leaves the lightest finish of the three variants.
Store cool and dark. Shelf life: ~9–12 months, depending on oil freshness.

Reactive Comedogenic Considerations

Safflower is the lightest-feeling option here and is generally the easiest variant for lower-weight use.

Reactive Notes

This variant stays fully anhydrous and preservative-free, so keep water out of the bottle.
Reactive is the simplest build: one cleansing oil, optional antioxidant, no balance adjustment.

Balanced

10% castor

4% lighter pull18% richer cleansing pull

Overall Feel

Middle-ground cleanse. Safflower stays dominant while castor adds more cling and sebum-lifting pull.

Selected variant: 90% safflower • 10% castor

Balanced Ingredients

Balanced variant
90 ml Safflower Oil
10 ml Castor Oil
Optional antioxidant
0.5–1 ml Vitamin E (Tocopherol) (optional)

Balanced Method

Set the castor balance: move the slider until the safflower and castor amounts shown match the blend you want.
Add: measure the safflower oil and castor oil into a completely dry bottle or beaker.
Finish: add vitamin E if using, then swirl or roll until uniform.
Rest: cap, label, and let the blend settle for 30 minutes before first use.

Balanced Storage & Use

Massage onto dry or slightly damp skin, then wipe or rinse lightly.
Balanced gives more cleansing pull than Reactive without moving into the heavier finish of Enhanced Barrier.
Store cool and dark. Shelf life: ~9–12 months, depending on oil freshness.

Balanced Comedogenic Considerations

This version stays fairly low-weight overall, but becomes richer as castor rises.

Balanced Notes

This variant stays anhydrous and preservative-free, so keep water out of the bottle.
Balanced changes the cleansing pull through castor while safflower remains the main phase.

Enhanced Barrier

18% olive

10% lighter cushion30% richer occlusive layer

Overall Feel

Cushioned and slower-moving. Olive raises the occlusive after-feel while castor stays fixed for cleansing pull.

Selected variant: 72% safflower • 10% castor • 18% olive

Enhanced Barrier Ingredients

Enhanced Barrier variant
72 ml Safflower Oil
10 ml Castor Oil
18 ml Olive Oil
Optional antioxidant
0.5–1 ml Vitamin E (Tocopherol) (optional)

Enhanced Barrier Method

Set the olive balance: move the slider until the safflower and olive amounts shown match the finish you want.
Add: measure the safflower oil, castor oil, and olive oil into a completely dry bottle or beaker.
Finish: add vitamin E if using, then swirl or roll until uniform.
Rest: cap, label, and let the blend settle for 30 minutes before first use.

Enhanced Barrier Storage & Use

Massage onto dry or slightly damp skin, then wipe or rinse lightly.
Enhanced Barrier leaves the richest protective finish of the three variants.
Store cool and dark. Shelf life: ~9–12 months, depending on oil freshness.

Enhanced Barrier Comedogenic Considerations

This is the richest version. The finish becomes more cushioned and occlusive as olive rises.

Enhanced Barrier Notes

This variant stays anhydrous and preservative-free, so keep water out of the bottle.
Enhanced Barrier changes the post-rinse cushion through olive while castor stays fixed.
