🧴 Ingredient breakdown

1️⃣ Main cleansing base

• Mineral oil
• PEG-8 glyceryl isostearate
• PEG-7 glyceryl

These are the core cleansing system.

• Mineral oil dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
• PEG emulsifiers help the oil turn milky with water and rinse off easily.
• Mineral oil is generally non-comedogenic and low irritation for most skin types. (INCIDecoder)

✔ Good for removing heavy makeup
✔ Gentle for sensitive skin

2️⃣ Moisturizing / skin-conditioning oils

These help prevent dryness:

• Jojoba seed oil – similar to skin sebum, balancing
• Squalane – lightweight barrier support
• Argan oil – antioxidants + fatty acids
• Olive oil – nourishing but heavier
• Shea butter – very moisturizing

✔ Good for dry or mature skin
⚠ May feel heavy for very oily or acne-prone skin.

3️⃣ Texture / slip ingredients

• Dimethicone – silicone that makes the cleanser smooth and reduces irritation.

✔ Helps oil spread easily and prevents tugging on skin.

4️⃣ Skin-support ingredients

• Citric acid – pH adjuster
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – antioxidant that protects oils from oxidation.

5️⃣ Preservative

• Ethylparaben

✔ Very common cosmetic preservative
✔ Generally considered safe at cosmetic levels.

6️⃣ Possible irritant

• Fragrance

⚠ Can irritate:

• sensitive skin
• rosacea
• eczema

But it’s usually low concentration in cleansers.

⚠ Possible acne triggers

If you are acne-prone:

Potentially heavier ingredients include:

• Coconut fatty acids
• Olive oil
• Shea butter

They can clog pores for some people, although oil cleansers are washed off so the risk is lower.

👍 Overall formula rating

✔ Good cleansing power
✔ Hydrating
✔ Budget friendly J-beauty formula

Best for

• normal skin
• dry skin
• combination skin
• makeup removal

Less ideal for

• very acne-prone skin
• fungal acne

✅ Simple verdict:
A basic mineral-oil cleansing oil with added plant oils for moisture. Effective and gentle, but not the best if you break out easily.
