This vegan formula features Komenuka (rice bran oil), a Japanese skincare staple since 1100 AD because of its potent water-retaining abilities. Based on the Japanese ritual of purifying skin with water left over from washing rice, this gentle cleanser softens skin while melting away makeup without irritating the delicate parts of the face, including around eyes. Whether used alone or as the first step in a double cleansing routine, it prevents pore buildup and hydrates without leaving a greasy feel. The result is thoroughly cleansed, renewed skin with a luminous glow.
