Rothea cleansing oil - Korean Fire Camellia Makeup Remover, 6.76 fl oz (200 ml) gentle, hydrating, minimal 8-ingredient formula

Rothea Korean Fire Camellia Cleansing Oil is a gentle, antioxidant-rich oil cleanser that melts makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and blackhead residue while supporting the skin’s barrier.

Inspired by the hardy Korean Fire Camellia, this 6.76 fl oz (200 ml) cleansing oil uses a minimalist, EWG Green 8-ingredient formula to deliver a deep but non-stripping clean. Designed in Boston and made in Korea, the formula is dermatologist-tested, vegan, cruelty-free, and free from fragrances, dyes, and parabens—offering a clean-beauty approach to daily cleansing that suits all skin types, including sensitive skin.

How does this oil remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

The Rothea cleansing oil dissolves oil-based products and impurities by binding to them, allowing them to rinse away easily without excessive rubbing. Its lightweight emollients cut through long-wear makeup and SPF while leaving a soft, hydrated feel instead of tightness.

• Melts waterproof and long-wear makeup quickly
• Dissolves excess sebum and sunscreen residues
• Rinses clean with a milky emulsification when water is added
• Non-irritating texture that preserves skin moisture

Will it help reduce blackheads without drying my skin?

Yes—by loosening pore-clogging oils and impurities, the oil makes blackhead removal gentler and less abrasive than repeated scrubs. The Fire Camellia extract and hydrating oils support the skin barrier, reducing the need for harsh, drying treatments that can worsen congestion.

• Softens hardened sebum for easier cleansing
• Supports barrier health to prevent rebound oiliness
• Suitable for sensitive and combination skin prone to congestion
• Minimizes irritation compared with physical exfoliation

What makes the formula clean and safe for daily use?

Rothea’s Fire Camellia Cleansing Oil uses only eight EWG Green verified ingredients to minimize irritation and unnecessary additives. It’s dermatologist-tested, vegan, and PETA cruelty-free, with no fragrances, dyes, or parabens—so you get effective cleansing without common sensitizers.

• 8-ingredient minimalist formulation to reduce risk of reactions
• EWG Green verified components for ingredient transparency
• Free from fragrance, dyes, and parabens for sensitive skin
• Clinically tested to confirm tolerability across skin types

How should I use this cleansing oil in my routine?

Use it as step one of a double cleanse: apply to dry skin, massage to dissolve makeup and blackheads, then emulsify with water and rinse. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser if you prefer a double cleanse for a fully refreshed finish.

• Apply 2–3 pumps to dry face and massage for 30–60 seconds
• Add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture, then rinse
• Optionally follow with a foam or gel cleanser for double cleansing
• Use daily, morning or evening, depending on needs

Who is this for? Rothea Korean Fire Camellia Cleansing Oil is aimed at those seeking a gentle yet effective makeup remover and pore cleanser who prefer clean-beauty formulations. It suits people with sensitive, combination, oily, or dry skin who want a hydrating first-step cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum without stripping the skin. If you value minimalist ingredient lists, PETA cruelty-free certification, and a product developed with dermatological input, this oil is a practical addition to your skincare routine.
