Isntree Mugwort Calming Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml

🌿 Product Overview

A first-step cleansing oil formulated with Artemisia (mugwort) extracts and oils, designed for sensitive, oil-prone, or redness-prone skin. Its weightless oil dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and sebum, then emulsifies into a milky texture upon contact with water—rinsing cleanly without residue while providing a calming, skin-softening cleanse.

🧴 Key Ingredients & Benefits

• Mugwort Leaf Water (~9,200 ppb) and Mugwort Oil (~1,000 ppb) — soothe inflammation, calm irritated skin, and support barrier health

• A blend of eight plant oils: Jojoba, Sunflower, Grape Seed, Sweet Almond, Evening Primrose, Walnut, Neem, Tamanu — these dissolve impurities without feeling greasy or clogging pores

• Tea Tree Leaf Oil — clarifies and regulates sebum, though may be sensitizing to very sensitive users

• Gluconolactone and capryloyl salicylic acid — mild exfoliants that support texture smoothing and sebum clearance

• Humectants and hydrators: Butylene glycol, squalane, glycerin, centella extract, holy basil, eggplant, and ivy gourd extracts provide moisture, antioxidant support, and barrier-loving nourishment

🔄 How to Use

1. Apply 2–3 pumps onto dry hands and massage into dry skin.

2. Emulsify with water until the oil turns into a milky texture.

3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

4. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser for full double cleansing.
