CleansingSorbeth-30 tetraoleate, Polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate + 1 moreCleanses gently
“Cleansing oil removes makeup, including stubborn mascara, as well as dead skin cells and excess dirt, without leaving any oily residue.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate, sorbeth-30 tetraoleate, trilaureth-4 phosphate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

I love the Speedy Oil, it's non-irritating and incredibly effective. This variety gave me a terrible rash though, it has orange oil amongst other irritating ingredients. Burned around my eyes. Skip this, just buy the other kind!
