Biossance Squalane + Antioxidant Cleansing Oil — 6.7 oz Lightweight Hydrating Makeup Remover & Emulsifying Cleanser

Biossance Squalane + Antioxidant Cleansing Oil is a lightweight, oil-based facial cleanser that dissolves makeup and impurities while hydrating and protecting the skin.

This gentle cleansing oil uses sustainably sourced squalane and antioxidant support to lift away long-wear makeup, SPF, and daily grime without stripping the skin. It starts as an oil for effective makeup breakdown, emulsifies with water to rinse clean, and leaves skin feeling soft rather than tight. Suitable for a range of skin types, the formula focuses on deep cleansing plus hydration so you can simplify your evening routine while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

How does this cleansing oil remove stubborn makeup?

The oil-based texture dissolves waterproof and long-wear products by matching and breaking down oil-based pigments and sunscreens. When you massage it onto dry skin, makeup and impurities lift away; adding water turns the formula milky so it rinses clean without residue.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation
• Emulsifies with water for easy rinsing
• Lifts sunscreen and excess oil from pores
• Works as the first step in double-cleansing routines

Will it hydrate rather than dry out my skin?

Yes — the key ingredient, sustainable squalane, replenishes lipids and helps maintain the skin’s moisture barrier. The formula delivers hydration during cleansing so skin feels soft and cushiony after rinsing instead of tight or dehydrated.

• Squalane supports natural skin lipids
• Antioxidants help protect against environmental stress
• Gentle surfactants allow effective cleansing without over-stripping
• Non-greasy rinse-off finish preserves comfort

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The cleansing oil is formulated to be gentle and non-irritating, designed to remove impurities without harsh rubbing or drying. Because it rinses clean and supports the skin barrier, many users with sensitive or congested skin find it compatible—though patch testing is recommended for highly reactive skin.

How do I use the cleansing oil in my routine?

Apply a few pumps to a dry face and massage to dissolve makeup and impurities, then add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture and rinse thoroughly. Use nightly as the first step in a double-cleanse, or alone for a quick, hydrating cleanse.

• Apply to dry skin and massage for 30–60 seconds
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse completely
• Follow with a water-based cleanser if double-cleansing
• Use morning or night depending on your skin needs

Who is this for: This cleansing oil suits anyone who removes daily makeup, wears sunscreen, or wants a hydration-forward cleanser that doesn’t strip the skin. It’s a good match for normal, dry, combination, and many sensitive skin types, and for those who prefer a low-fuss ritual that effectively lifts heavy makeup and environmental buildup while supporting the skin’s moisture balance.
