After trying tons of organic oil cleansers over the last decade, I’m sharing five that I keep coming back to and are truly worth your money.

I strongly recommend starting a double cleansing routine if you haven’t already! Oil cleansers are great for all skin types from dry to acne prone and can make a huuuuge difference to your overall skin health and complexion. As any dermatologist will tell you, double cleansing (and even triple cleansing) is one of the major steps you can take to improve your skin drastically. I’m sharing the benefits of oil cleansing, how to properly double cleanse and my fave natural oil cleansers!

Benefits of Oil Cleansing

How to Oil Cleanse

Oil cleansers are some of the simplest skincare products to formulate, and there are probably hundreds and hundreds in clean beauty alone. We’re choosing to share only our favorites oil cleansers that remove the day’s grime and makeup AND turn cleansing into a therapeutic ritual, so you know each of these is special.

LEAHLANI Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil

I’ve gone through so many bottles of these I’ve lost count! The Leahlani Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil is a blend of tropical oils, enzymes of pineapple + papaya, sweet vanilla bean and fragrant floral essences. When you’re feeling rundown and tired, what could be better than a luscious guava fruit, banana extract, and pineapple fruit along with plumeria and hibiscus flower extracts in a luscious blend of macadamia, sunflower seed and pink grapefruit peel oil. It feels soooo lightweight and silky and literally melts off my makeup and sunscreen easily. It also rinses off easily and doesn’t leave any greasy residue or tacky feeling!

This all-natural Hawaiian skincare line uses organic, wild-crafted and local Hawaiian ingredients, and their products are still made in small weekly batches right at their Kaua’i studio and shipped out within a few weeks max for maximum freshness. You can’t get this kind of quality with mass-manufactured big beauty brands.

Pai Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin formulated but great for all skin types, and just overall an excellent cleansing oil, Pai’s Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil is one we go back to over and over. It’s certified COSMOS Organic and removes makeup, SPF and daily grime effortlessly. The gently sweet citrus scent with a touch of basil lends to the therapeutic cleansing experience it provides.

Whamisa Organic Flowers Cleansing Oil

Whamisa is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking to try a certified organic Korean skincare line and their Organic Flowers Cleansing Oil was an immediate standout to me. The Organic Flowers Cleansing Oil has a unique liquid-like consistency that feels hydrating not heavy, the ability to rinse off with water and an addictive floral scent. Like all Whamisa products, their cleansing oil contains their ‘Natural Fermentation Technology’ which uses fermentation filtrates of organic flowers like chrysanthemum, lotus, dandelion with lacto-fermentation.

Living Libations Best Skin Ever Seabuckthorn

I looove this versatile cleansing oil and am obsessed with the uniquely silky consistency. I don’t know how it’s so velvety and silky but it feels amaaazing on the skin. It’s lightweight but not quite as liquidy as other cleansing oils. Living Libations are masters at aromatherapy and Best Skin Ever is no exception. There’s something euphoric and soothing about their scents and I can bet it’s the quality and vibrancy of the essential oils that they use. The formula is packed with omega fatty acids, vitamins, lipids, and hundreds of bioactive compounds. The simple blend of highest quality oils not only works as an oil cleanser but all-purpose oil for skin, scalp, pregnancy and more.

Bloomeffects Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly

I find that Bloomeffects Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly is neither a true natural oil cleanser or cleansing balm and lies somewhere in between. If you find liquid oil consistencies too slick and cleansing balms feel like you’re slathering Crisco all over your face, then a cleansing jelly may be the solution! Bloomeffects makeup melting cleanser offers a unique jelly experience, and I find that it rinses off super easily with water. The scent is neither fruity nor herbal like most cleansers. Instead, it reminds me of barley, and it’s actually really soothing before bed. Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly comes in a glass jar or eco-friendly Picea wood tube, but I prefer the tube for easy dispensing. It’s SO effective at melting off my stubborn makeup and feels super duper nourishing.

It contains a bevy of interesting ingredients like Sour Cherry Seed Oil, Strawberry Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Postbiotics derived from Radishes, Red Algae Extract and Malic Acid in this innovative cleanser. Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly truly deserves more hype despite it already being award-winning.
