Product details

Cleanse + refresh

A light, silky cleansing oil with just six ingredients, mostly sunflower, grape seed and jojoba oils, and no added scent.

The Fresh Cleansing Oil is the lighter of Klairs’ two Gentle Black oils. About 85% of it is plant oils rich in linoleic acid, led by sunflower seed oil, so it melts makeup and sunscreen with a fresh, non-greasy feel. Klairs made it for oily and combination skin, and for anyone sensitive to scent or essential oils.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Sunflower seed oil

    First on the list and about half the formula, per Klairs. A light oil rich in linoleic acid, chosen for oily skin.

    No. 1 of 6 on the list

  • Grape seed oil

    A lightweight oil that keeps the texture fresh and leaves skin moisturized.

    No. 4 of 6 on the list

  • Jojoba oil

    Close to skin’s own oils, to help keep the oil-water balance in check.

    No. 5 of 6 on the list

  • Black currant seed oil

    The Gentle Black touch: an antioxidant-rich seed oil.

    No. 6 of 6 on the list

  • Light emollient + emulsifier

    A light coconut-derived emollient, and the emulsifier that turns the oil milky so it rinses clean.
