How to Use
Dispense 2-3 pumps onto dry hands. Apply to dry face and massage gently in rolling motions to dissolve makeup and sunscreen.

Key Ingredients
- Korean Herbal Oil Complex
- A blend of traditional Korean botanical oils — apricot kernel, Korean pine nut seed, sesame seed, and camellia japonica — that nourish and soften skin during cleansing. Each oil brings different fatty acid profiles: sesame seed oil is rich in linoleic acid (48%) for barrier support, apricot kernel in oleic acid (54-74%) for deep emollient nourishment, and camellia japonica provides a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisture film. Together they cleanse without stripping the skin's own lipids.
- Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
- Cold-pressed oil from camellia japonica seeds, rich in oleic acid. A traditional Korean beauty oil prized for its lightweight moisture. Camellia japonica (동백) has been used in Korean beauty for centuries — historically as a hair and skin oil by Jeju Island women. Its fatty acid profile is similar to olive oil but lighter, making it an ideal cleansing oil component that dissolves impurities without heaviness.
- Squalane
- A lightweight, stable oil that closely resembles the skin's own sebum. Provides emollient moisture without clogging pores. In a cleansing oil, squalane serves a dual purpose: it helps dissolve oil-based impurities (like dissolves like) while leaving behind a thin moisture layer that prevents the tight, stripped feeling after washing.
- Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus) Seed Extract
- A traditional East Asian botanical used for centuries in Korean skincare. Associated with a soothed, refreshed complexion. One of several hanbang (한방) botanical extracts in this formula — alongside plum seed, chestnut shell, and citrus unshiu peel. These traditional Korean ingredients provide antioxidant support and a calming finish to the cleansing step.
