Cleansing Oil Products

A cleansing oil is an oil-based cleanser that helps dissolve makeup and sunscreen before rinsing away. Japanese cleansing methods are known for focusing on effective facial cleansing while maintaining a comfortable skin feel. Many formulas use plant oils such as jojoba oil, camellia oil, rice bran oil, sunflower seed oil, or grape seed oil to gently remove stubborn makeup and impurities.

For shoppers comparing different cleansing options, Japan Standards also offers Cleansers, including Cleansing Gel, Cleansing Cream and Cleansing Balm .

Shop by Skin Type & Need

Sensitive Skin: Look for a cleansing oil for sensitive skin with a gentle formula that removes makeup and sunscreen without an uncomfortable, tight sensation.

Dry Skin

For dry skin, choose an oil cleanser that helps leave the skin feeling soft and hydrated after cleansing. A nourishing formula can complement a moisture-focused skincare routine.

Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, consider a lightweight cleansing oil that rinses clean. Proper cleansing can help remove excess oil, sunscreen, and makeup without relying on harsh cleansing methods.

Makeup & Sunscreen Removal

A cleansing oil is especially useful when dealing with waterproof makeup, eye makeup, or daily sunscreen. Gently massage the oil over dry skin, allow it to dissolve makeup and impurities, then emulsify the oil with water and rinse thoroughly.
