Purito offers refill pouches for this cleanser, reducing plastic waste. The pump bottle is made from eco-friendly recycled plastic.
Eye-Safe Removal
Gentle enough to remove mascara and eye makeup without stinging or irritating the delicate eye area.
Double Cleanse Optimized
Designed as the first step in a double cleansing routine to remove oil-based impurities before your foam or gel cleanser finishes the job.
Safety & compatibility
SAFEContains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. All 11 ingredients are plant-based and considered safe during pregnancy. Consult your OB/GYN if unsure.
Olive oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Sunflower Seed Oil contain fatty acids that can theoretically feed malassezia. However, as a rinse-off product the residual exposure is minimal. Those with active fungal acne may want to patch test or opt for a lighter cleansing oil.
The blend of Jojoba (wax ester), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, and Grape Seed Oil keeps overall comedogenicity low. The self-emulsifying formula rinses clean, reducing pore-clogging risk significantly.
Fragrance-free, essential oil-free, and EO-free with a skin irritation index of 0.00 per brand testing. Clinically tested and suitable for reactive, rosacea-prone, and post-procedure skin.
Multiple reviewers confirm zero stinging during eye makeup removal. The gentle, non-irritating formula is well-tolerated around the delicate eye area even when used to remove mascara.
This is a first-step oil cleanser — for a thorough cleanse, especially if you wear SPF or makeup, always follow with a water-based second cleanser (foam, gel, or micellar).
Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSOlea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil ~30–40% est.Proven
The lead ingredient and primary cleansing base. Olive oil is rich in squalene and oleic acid (55–83%), making it deeply emollient and nourishing. It forms a protective moisture barrier on skin during the cleansing process.
- Key Fatty Acid: Oleic acid (55–83%) — deeply penetrating emollient
- Antioxidants: Tocopherols (Vitamin E), polyphenols — neutralize free radicals
- Vitamins: A, D, E, K — support skin barrier repair
- Comedogenicity: 0–2 (low)
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride ~20–25% est.Proven
Fractionated coconut oil — ultra-lightweight, stable, and non-comedogenic. Acts as a superior emollient and solvent that helps dissolve sebum and oil-based makeup without heaviness.
- Comedogenicity: 1 (very low) — does not clog pores
- Stability: Highly oxidation-resistant compared to full coconut oil
- FA Safety: Generally considered fungal-acne safe
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil ~15–20% est.Proven
A lightweight, linoleic acid-rich oil that supports the skin's natural ceramide production. Sunflower seed oil soothes, softens, and helps regulate sebum balance without adding heaviness.
- Key Fatty Acid: Linoleic acid (~65%) — helps repair the skin barrier
- Ceramide Support: Linoleic acid is a precursor to ceramide synthesis
- Anti-inflammatory: Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate ~5–10% est.Proven
The key self-emulsifying surfactant that gives this formula its "hydrophilic" quality — it allows the oil to mix with water and rinse cleanly from skin. Popular in high-performing Korean cleansing oils for its gentle, non-stripping action.
- Function: Self-emulsifying surfactant — bridges oil and water phases
- Clinical Study: Pumpkin oil formula containing Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate showed strong hydration without irritation
- PEG-Free: Not a PEG-derivative — a safer alternative emulsifier
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil ~5–8% est.Proven
Technically a liquid wax ester — not a true oil — that closely mimics human sebum. Uniquely effective at dissolving impurities, whiteheads, and blackheads from pores while being non-comedogenic and considered fungal-acne safe.
- Unique Structure: Wax ester (not triglyceride) — does not feed malassezia
- Sebum-Balancing: Signals skin to reduce excess sebum production
- Anti-inflammatory: Rich in tocopherols and myristic acid esters
- Comedogenicity: 2 (low)
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil ~2–4% est.Proven
A nourishing, vitamin-rich emollient oil from almonds. Loaded with oleic acid (55–86%), linoleic acid (7–35%), vitamin E, and B vitamins — it softens, soothes, and reduces the appearance of irritation and minor scars.
- Vitamins: A, E, B1, B2, B6 — support skin renewal and barrier function
- Anti-inflammatory: Helps calm redness and skin irritation
- Comedogenicity: 2 (low-moderate)
Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil ~2–4% est.Proven
A light, antioxidant-rich oil from grape seeds. Packed with barrier-repairing linoleic acid, polyphenols (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), and vitamin E — it helps clear impurities from pores while protecting against oxidative stress.
- Key Fatty Acid: Linoleic acid (~72%) — non-comedogenic, barrier repair
- OPCs (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins): 50x stronger antioxidant than Vitamin E
- Comedogenicity: 1 (very low)
Glyceryl Caprylate ~1–3% est.Proven
A multifunctional natural ingredient derived from glycerin and caprylic acid. Acts as a co-emulsifier to support rinsability, an emollient for skin conditioning, and a natural antimicrobial preservative booster.
- Antimicrobial: Exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity — enhances formula preservation
- Emollient: Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth after rinse
- Natural Origin: Derived from vegetable glycerin and coconut/palm fatty acids
Ethylhexylglycerin ~0.5–1% est.Proven
A multifunctional preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent. Enhances the effectiveness of other preservatives, helping maintain product stability and safety without the use of parabens or harsh synthetic preservatives.
- Function: Preservative booster + skin conditioning agent
- Paraben-Free Alternative: Safe, well-tolerated synthetic glycerin ether
- Skin Feel: Improves spreadability and texture on application
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) ~0.1–0.5% est.Proven
Pure Vitamin E. Serves as a powerful lipophilic antioxidant that protects the oil blend from oxidation (rancidity) and provides photo-protective benefits against UVB-induced free radical damage on skin.
- Antioxidant: Neutralizes free radicals, prevents lipid oxidation in formula
- Synergy: Works in synergy with Vitamin C for enhanced photoprotection
- Soothing: Reduces irritation and supports skin barrier repair

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse as Step 1 in your evening double-cleansing routine. Apply todry skin, massage for 30–60 seconds, then emulsify with water. Always follow with a water-based second cleanser for a complete cleanse.
How to use
HOW TO USEStart on Completely Dry Skin
Dispense 2–3 pumps of the cleansing oil onto dry palms. Do not wet your face first — water prevents the oil from properly dissolving makeup and SPF.
Massage Gently in Circular Motions
Apply to dry face and massage in gentle circular motions for at least 30 seconds. Focus on areas with heavy makeup, sunscreen, or congestion such as the T-zone and around the nose.
Emulsify with Water
Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your face — the oil will turn into a white milky emulsion. Continue to massage for another 15–20 seconds as the emulsion draws impurities to the surface.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse off completely with lukewarm water. The self-emulsifying formula leaves no greasy film. Pat face dry gently with a clean towel.
Follow with Second Cleanser
For a complete double cleanse, follow immediately with a gentle water-based foam or gel cleanser to remove any remaining water-soluble impurities and complete your cleansing routine.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESThe olive and sweet almond oils deliver rich nourishment during cleansing, leaving dry skin feeling soft, conditioned, and never stripped. A top pick for dry-skin types looking to preserve their moisture barrier.
Fragrance-free, essential oil-free, with a skin irritation index of 0.00. Clinically tested and confirmed suitable for reactive, rosacea-prone, and post-procedure skin. One of the gentlest cleansing oils available.
Jojoba oil's sebum-balancing properties and the lightweight caprylic/capric triglyceride base keep oily zones in check while nourishing drier areas. Rinses clean without leaving residue on the T-zone.
Works well for oily skin as the "like dissolves like" principle helps remove excess sebum effectively. The self-emulsifying formula rinses completely clean. Some very oily skin users may prefer a lighter-weight cleansing oil with less oleic content.
Low comedogenic rating (2/5), no pore-clogging mineral oils, and rinse-off format make this suitable for most acne-prone skin. Those with fungal acne should patch test due to oleic-acid rich oils. Reviewers report reduced pore congestion with regular use.
A near-perfect daily cleanser for normal skin — effective at removing makeup and SPF, maintaining moisture balance, and supporting a healthy skin barrier without any adjustments or concerns.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
K-beauty oil cleanser with a similarly gentle, natural oil base — adds heartleaf (houttuynia cordata) extract for extra soothing and pore-refining benefits. Slightly lighter texture. Comparable ingredient quality at a lower price point. Also rinses clean without residue.
Features calendula and centella asiatica alongside botanical oils for a soothing, skin-calming cleanse. More ingredient complexity than Purito but similarly fragrance-free and gentle. Thinner consistency makes it easier to spread. Best for sensitive and inflamed skin types.
Not a perfect dupe but a highly popular K-beauty gel cleanser option for those who prefer to skip traditional oil cleansing. Best as a second-cleanse step rather than a direct substitute. Ideal if you wear light makeup and prefer a single-step cleanse with a lower price point.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, the Purito From Green Cleansing Oil is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The formula contains no retinoids (retinol, retinal, retinoic acid), no salicylic acid, no hydroquinone, and no chemical UV filters — all of which are the primary categories of skincare concern during pregnancy. All 11 ingredients are plant-derived and EWG Green Grade certified. As always, consult your OB/GYN or healthcare provider before adding any new products to your routine during pregnancy.
This requires some nuance. The formula contains olive oil (high in oleic acid), sweet almond oil (also high in oleic acid), and sunflower seed oil — all of which are fatty acids that can theoretically feed malassezia yeast. It also contains Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, an ester that some fungal-acne safety trackers flag as a potential trigger. However, because this is a rinse-off product, the actual contact time with skin is minimal (60–90 seconds), which significantly reduces the real-world risk compared to leave-on products. Jojoba oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in the formula are generally considered FA-safe. If you have active fungal acne, we recommend patch testing first or choosing a cleansing oil formulated specifically for FA-prone skin (such as one based primarily on caprylic/capric triglyceride with minimal oleic acid-rich oils).
Yes — as the first step in your cleansing routine, the From Green Cleansing Oil is completely compatible with any active ingredients you use in subsequent steps. Since it is thoroughly rinsed off, there is no interaction between this cleanser and your actives (retinol, Vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, niacinamide, etc.). Using a gentle oil cleanser like this one can actually help maintain your skin barrier, which is especially important when using potentially irritating actives. After cleansing, simply proceed with your normal active-ingredient routine.
The From Green Cleansing Oil is clinically tested and suitable for all skin types. It is particularly excellent for dry, sensitive, combination, and normal skin. Dry skin benefits most from the olive and sweet almond oil content which nourishes during cleansing. Sensitive skin benefits from the completely fragrance-free, EO-free, minimal-ingredient formula (irritation index 0.00). Oily and acne-prone skin generally does well too, though those with confirmed fungal acne should exercise caution as noted above. The self-emulsifying formula ensures zero greasy residue regardless of skin type.
As a cleanser, the primary benefits are immediate — you'll notice clean, soft, non-stripped skin after your very first use. Within the first week of consistent double cleansing with this oil, most users notice improved skin texture and reduced pore congestion (especially if switching from a harsher cleanser or skipping makeup removal). After 2–4 weeks of nightly use, skin typically looks clearer and more radiant due to thorough daily SPF and makeup removal. The barrier-supportive oils gradually improve skin resilience and hydration over time with continued use.
This product is always used as Step 1 — the very first step in your evening skincare routine. Apply it to a completely dry face before any water contact. Massage for 30–60 seconds, add water to emulsify, then rinse. Follow immediately with your second cleanser (foam, gel, or micellar water) to complete your double cleanse. After double cleansing, continue with toner, serums, moisturizer, and any other treatment products. This is a PM-only product — you don't need to oil cleanse in the morning unless you sleep with heavy products.
The From Green Cleansing Oil has an overall comedogenic rating of approximately 2/5, which falls in the low-to-moderate range. Individual ingredient comedogenicity: olive oil (0–2), caprylic/capric triglyceride (1), sunflower seed oil (0–2), jojoba oil (2), grape seed oil (1–2). Importantly, the self-emulsifying formula rinses completely clean from skin, which substantially reduces any theoretical pore-clogging risk compared to leave-on products. The brand specifically highlights that the formula is free from heavy mineral oil — a common pore-clogger in older cleansing oils. The vast majority of community reviewers report no breakouts, and many acne-prone users report improved pore clarity with regular use.
The Period After Opening (PAO) for the From Green Cleansing Oil is 12 months. Look for the open-jar symbol on the bottom of the bottle with "12M" printed inside — this indicates use within 12 months of first opening. With daily use (2–3 pumps per evening), most users find the 200ml bottle lasts 3–5 months, well within the PAO window. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve freshness. Discard if the oil becomes rancid, changes in color, or develops an unusual smell before the PAO expires.
Verdict: The Purito From Green Cleansing Oil stands out in a crowded K-beauty cleansing oil market for one reason above all: extraordinary simplicity done right. With just 11 clean, EWG-verified ingredients — no fragrance, no essential oils, no alcohol, no PEG, no parabens — it delivers a gentle yet thorough cleanse that removes SPF and makeup without ever compromising the skin barrier. The self-emulsifying formula is a genuine pleasure to use: massage, add water, watch it turn milky, rinse clean. The generous 200ml size with an eco-conscious refill option makes it exceptional value. It earns near-perfect marks for sensitive, dry, and combination skin and is an ideal starter for double-cleansing beginners. The only considerations are a mild natural olive scent and theoretical caution for fungal acne-prone individuals. For everyone else — this is one of the best-value, cleanest oil cleansers available in K-beauty today.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
