Good (mostly beneficial, not extensive research or just not quite outstanding properties)

L'Occitane Shea Cleansing Oil



I did a review on three cleansing oils before and talked a bit more about the whole concept. You can read more on that HERE. Usually I don't focus on the ingredient list too much, if it is a rinse off product, since none of the ingredients have time to penetrate the skin and work properly. I mostly monitor amount of irritants (since they still do harm the skin even in smaller amounts). Basically I review the cleansers from the standpoint whether I did or did not like it personally.

Packaging/Pricing:


200ml (6.7fl.oz) for 22$ (Sephora). It is not the cheapest products on the market, but I think it is quite reasonably priced among other cleansing oils from high end brands. The product comes in a clear plastic pump bottle. Since it is a cleanser (rinses off, doesn't stay on your face), I am not as concerned about keeping formulation safe from being exposed to UV rays.


Ingredients:



Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Isopropyl Isostearate, PEG-40 Sorbitan Peroleate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Seed Oil, Fragrance, Tocopherol.
