Most face wash formulas rely on sulfates and detergents to make that satisfying foam. The trade-off shows up fast:

• Sulfates strip the skin's natural oils, weakening the skin barrier
• That tight, squeaky-clean feeling often signals dehydration, not cleanliness
• Stripped skin can respond by producing more excess oil, making oily skin harder to manage
• For sensitive skin, harsh surfactants trigger redness and irritation

Oil cleansing works on the principle that like dissolves like. The cold-pressed plant oils in A'del's cleansers grab onto makeup, sebum, and the day's buildup, then rinse away with a warm cloth. The result is a face cleanser that hydrates as it washes and removes makeup without a separate step.

What you'll find:

• Cold-pressed seed oils and active ingredients like argan, avocado, sunflower, castor, evening primrose, and camellia
• Organic essential oils and plant-based botanicals (blue tansy, lavender, jasmine)
• Vitamin E and naturally occurring amino acids that nourish skin while it cleanses

What you'll never find:

• Sulfates, sodium hydroxide, or harsh detergents
• Synthetic fragrance, parabens, or fillers
• Drying alcohols that strip the skin barrier
• Artificial dyes or preservatives that trigger sensitivity

Both are gentle oil cleansers. Pick based on what your skin needs:

→ Skin that flares up easily? Blue Lagoon Cleanse. The calming choice, formulated with blue tansy (from the chamomile family) to quiet redness, reactivity, and breakouts while lifting makeup.

→ Want one daily cleanser that works for any skin type? Essential Cleanse. The everyday choice, balanced enough for dry skin, oily skin, normal skin, and combination types.

→ Not sure? Start with Essential for daily use, then add Blue Lagoon when your skin needs extra calming.
