A Pure, Gentle Cleanse for Radiant Skin
True skin balance begins with a gentle touch. Facial Cleansing Oil is a luxurious, nourishing blend designed to melt away makeup, daily impurities, and excess oil without stripping your skin's delicate moisture barrier. This is not a harsh, drying cleanser; it is a restorative ritual that purifies your pores while leaving your complexion soft, hydrated, and calm. The principle is simple: like dissolves like. This blend of beneficial oils effortlessly lifts away what you don't want, while replenishing your skin with what it needs.
 
We formulated this cleansing oil for those seeking an effective, non-toxic approach to daily skincare. It is perfect for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and acne-prone. By respecting the skin's natural sebum production, this cleanser helps to break the cycle of over-drying and over-producing oil, promoting a state of clear, comfortable equilibrium.
 
Holistic Cleansing, Luminous Results
This elegant formula uses a blend of pure botanical oils chosen for their unique skin-balancing properties.
 
Why it works:
Deep, Gentle Purification: A base of Jojoba and Safflower oils, which closely mimic the skin's own sebum, sinks into pores to dissolve impurities. Castor Oil acts as a gentle astringent, pulling out grime and excess oil without causing irritation.
Soothes and Balances: Tea Tree Oil offers natural clarifying properties, helping to keep blemishes at bay. This is balanced by the calming essence of Lavender Oil, which soothes redness and sensitivity.
Nourishes and Protects: Lightweight Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (derived from coconut oil) and Shea Oil provide a silky texture and deliver essential fatty acids, ensuring your skin feels supple and moisturized after cleansing.
Rejuvenates and Refines: The inclusion of Frankincense Oil helps to tone and refine the skin's appearance, promoting a smooth, radiant, and even complexion.
 
Your Daily Ritual for Glowing Skin
At Silva Medica Botanicals (formerly Thirteen Moons Apothecary), we believe that skincare is an act of self-care. Facial Cleansing Oil transforms a daily task into a moment of mindful practice. It is the foundational first step in a holistic routine, creating the perfect canvas for serums and moisturizers to follow.
 
How to Use
Massage into dry skin to dissolve makeup and impurities, then gently remove with a warm, damp cloth.
Apply: Dispense 1-2 pumps into dry hands and warm the oil.
Massage: Gently massage onto your face in circular motions for 30-60 seconds, paying attention to areas with makeup or congestion. This can be done in the shower or with a dry face.
Steam and Wipe: Soak a clean washcloth in warm water and wring it out. Lay the warm cloth over your face for a moment to steam, then gently wipe away the oil, makeup, and impurities.
Follow: Your skin is now cleansed and prepped. Follow with our Frankincense Toner, Hydrating Facial Serum, and Nourishing Face Oil.
