Skin1004 [EU] Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil 30ml

Yes, the Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil is formulated with sensitive skin in mind. Centella Asiatica is widely regarded in skincare for its soothing properties, and the lightweight, fast-rinsing formula is designed to minimise residue that could potentially contribute to congestion. However, as with any new product, a patch test is always recommended before full application.

The 'Light' designation refers to the formula's lighter texture and faster emulsification compared to traditional dense cleansing oils. It rinses away more cleanly and feels less heavy on the skin, making it particularly well-suited to those who prefer a fresh, non-greasy post-cleanse feeling or who have combination to oily skin types.

Yes, as an oil-based cleanser, it is effective at breaking down oil-based formulas including waterproof makeup and mineral or chemical sunscreens. For heavily pigmented or long-wear waterproof formulas, a second pass or gentle pre-soaking of the area may enhance the cleanse. Always follow with a water-based cleanser for a thorough double-cleanse.

The 30ml is sold as a standalone retail product, not exclusively as a travel accessory. It is, however, an excellent travel companion given its compliance with carry-on liquid size restrictions. Skin1004 also offers larger sizes of this cleanser for those who wish to use it as their primary daily cleanser.

Yes, the Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil is both vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, reflecting our commitment to ethical and skin-conscious beauty:


CRUELTY-FREE: SKIN1004 is a cruelty-free brand. We do not conduct or commission animal testing on our finished products or their ingredients. We prioritize safe, ethical, and animal-friendly methods to ensure our products are as kind to the environment as they are to your skin.


VEGAN-FRIENDLY: This cleansing oil is formulated entirely without animal-derived ingredients or by-products. It utilizes a blend of 6 different botanical oils and high-quality Centella Asiatica Extract to gently purify the skin and melt away impurities. This 100% plant-based formula provides a deep, refreshing cleanse while keeping your skin feeling hydrated and balanced without any animal-derived components.

This cleansing oil serves as the essential first step of a double-cleanse routine — its oil-based formula effectively lifts and dissolves oil-soluble impurities such as makeup, SPF, and sebum. It is then followed by a gentle water-based cleanser (such as a foam or gel) to remove any remaining water-soluble residue, leaving the skin thoroughly yet gently cleansed and ready for the rest of your skincare routine.
