For nearly three decades, you’ve told us how much you love our oils—and asked for a cleanser to match. We’ve been listening. But formulating a cleansing oil and makeup remover that works for all skin types was no easy feat. It needed to do it all: effortlessly dissolve makeup, thoroughly cleanse, hydrate without heaviness, and leave skin soft—not stripped or slick. And now, it’s finally arrived.
A New Way to Wash Away the Day
Introducing Ocean Wave Cleanser, a bi-phase cleansing oil + makeup remover, and your favorite new way to wash away the day. This lightweight cleanser effortlessly dissolves makeup, impurities and excess oil while balancing and nourishing skin. The best part? There’s no oily after-feel, and no tightness—just soft, hydrated skin that feels as good as it looks.
Our new cleansing oil is infused with our signature Undaria seaweed, rich in amino acids, antioxidants, and nutrients to mineralize the skin. It’s deeply nourishing, thanks to camelina oil, which is packed with omega-3 fatty acids to moisturize and condition. The formula also includes bisabolol, sourced from the Candeia tree, known for its soothing properties. While most oil cleansers are unscented, ours has subtle notes of bergamot and jasmine, making your cleansing ritual feel even more indulgent. The result? Skin that looks and feels incredibly soft, fresh and glowing.

Shake to Activate. Rinse to Refresh.
Even if you’re wary of oil-based products, Ocean Wave Cleanser may change your mind and your skin. Why? It’s ultra-lightweight (our founder, Jenefer, calls it, “waterlight”), perfect for all skin types—including oily and blemish-prone—and it dissolves makeup without stripping your skin or moisture barrier. Many oil cleansers leave behind a greasy film. Not this one! The secret lies in our unique bi-phase formula which consists of an oil and a water phase.
Science explains it: The oil phase dissolves oil-based impurities like sebum and makeup from the skin, while the water phase gently rinses away remaining residue and buildup. When you shake to activate the product, the two phases combine and emulsify into a silky fluid that sweeps it all away—not to mention the cares of the day. And the gorgeous glass bottle features a brilliant dispenser that releases just a tiny bit of cleanser at a time, so you never sacrifice a drop more than you need (about 2–3 shakes).
How to Use It
The essential first step in any routine, Ocean Wave Cleanser washes away your day in seconds. Start by shaking the product into dry hands. Massage onto dry skin, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. For more precise eye makeup removal, saturate our organic Reusable Cotton Rounds or bamboo round with product, gently wipe, then rinse.
Cleansing + makeup removing pads
Use it in the morning or evening—whatever works for you and your skin. It’s great as a standalone cleanser, or, if you love a double cleanse, it makes the ideal first step.
