Offering a fresh, sweet, citrus scent of essential oils, this careful curation of premium botanicals gently cleanses without stripping the skin of its natural oils or leaving an oily residue.

Why cleanse with oil...
Your skin comprises of a protective film of natural oils & amino acids called the acid mantle. This is your skins own fighting shield, protecting its cells against bacteria and pollution whilst keeping the important things, like moisture, in. The acid mantle has an acidic pH of around 5.5 and, when dismantled by aqueous based alkaline washes, soaps, or cleansers, the skin becomes vulnerable and open to inflammation, allergies and even bacteria. This daily damage takes time to repair, between 15 minutes to 14 hours depending largely on the product.
When these conventional cleansers strip the skin from its natural oils, the body, thinking it’s being deprived, produces more to rebalance it, causing adverse results for people who suffer from problematic, oily skin.
Harlo’s oil cleanser contains no alcohol, soap or even water – meaning no cheap fillers, emulsifiers or preservatives and no pH concerns, keeping your natural acid mantle intact, always. When massaged into the skin, the nutritious cleansing oils bind to surface oil impurities breaking up congestion at the source, without clogging your pores or leaving an oily residue.
