Frequently Asked Questions about our Skincare 

1. What is a cleansing oil?

A cleansing oil is an oil-based facial cleanser that works on the principle of “like dissolves like” to effectively remove oil-based impurities. Formulated with nourishing botanical oils, it is designed to be massaged onto a dry face, where it binds to makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil before rinsing cleanly away with water. This process cleanses the skin without stripping its natural moisture barrier, leaving it soft, hydrated, and refreshed.

2. What is a cleansing milk?

A cleansing milk is a gentle, non-foaming facial cleanser with a creamy, liquid formula that cleanses the skin by removing makeup, dirt, and impurities without stripping natural oils. Designed to be massaged onto either dry or damp skin, it contains emollients such as oils and butters along with gentle cleansing agents that hydrate and soften the skin, making it an ideal choice for dry, normal, or sensitive skin types.

3. What is the double cleanse method?

The double cleanse method is a two-step facial cleansing routine that uses an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve makeup and dirt, followed by a water-based cleanser to wash away remaining impurities and sweat, ensuring a deep, thorough clean. This method enables skin to get cleaner than washing alone and helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts. It also prepares your skin for other skincare products so they can be better absorbed. Our double cleanse products are made with care and leave the skin soft, balanced, and radiant, never feeling stripped. 

4. Is the orange bitter fragrance the same as the orange blossom fragrance? 

They are similar in scent. Orange bitter and orange blossom come from the same plant (Citrus aurantium), but they’re made from different parts. The fragrance of the orange bitter comes from the fruit peel of the bitter orange tree while that of the orange blossom comes from the flowers of the bitter orange tree. They both elicit a fresh, citrus scent that we think you will love!

5. Do I need to use the oil and the milk products in a particular order?

It is best to begin with the cleansing oil on a dry face — a gentle formula that dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and other oil-based impurities. Follow with the cleansing milk, which can be used on either dry or damp skin to remove remaining traces of dirt, sweat, and environmental pollutants, leaving your skin clean, soft, and comforted.

6. Can I use these with other products?

Yes, you can use other products with our skincare line. Our products are crafted in small batches to preserve their integrity and freshness. They are suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive and mature skin.
