Botanical Cleansing Oil

Glass

This oil cleanser removes makeup and comes in a refillable 120 mL glass bottle. Later purchases arrive in lower-waste refill pouches, and the scent comes from lavender, geranium and pink grapefruit.

Good to know: Buy the glass bottle; the refill pouches are flexible plastic packaging, and the pump top contains plastic.

Why we picked it

An oil cleanser in a refillable 120 ml glass bottle, scented with lavender and pink grapefruit botanicals. Oil cleansing dissolves sunscreen and makeup without stripping, and this one rinses clean. The pump top has plastic in it, and the refill pouches are flexible packaging, so the glass bottle is the plastic-free piece; refills cut the waste of each subsequent order.

What it’s made of

Glass bottle (refillable). Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.

Glass
Inert and endlessly recyclable, never leaches into food or drink.
