Cleansing the skin with an oil (no matter whether you carry make-up or not) is one of the mildest and most effective methods to clean and pamper the skin without stripping it from its lipid layer and damaging the barrier function.
This cleansing becomes even more luxurious (and effective) when your oil is self-emulsifying and you can rinse the oil off and have a silky after feel.
For this cleansing oil which is specifically created for sensitive, dry and itchy skin we're using a natural and palm-free emulsifier which turns the oil into a foam as you add water to your skin. This helps easy rinsing without any sticky and greasy after feel.
Let's jump to the formulation and straightforward procedure without cerrremony.

Procedure:
Blend all ingredients at room temperature and feel in a suitable bottle.
If you're working in a cold lab or during winter, some of your extracts might have a higher viscosity or even sediment (calendula extract becomes a thick paste for instance). In this case, blend them in castor and tamanu oil and gently heat them over a water bath @ around 40 oC. Then blend them with the rest of the ingredients.
