Susanne Kaufmann Deep Cleansing Oil

A silken oil-to-milk cleanser that dissolves makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and daily impurities while preserving the skin’s essential moisture.

Designed as the first step in an effective cleansing ritual, Susanne Kaufmann Deep Cleansing Oil lifts away the oil-soluble buildup that water-based cleansers can leave behind—including makeup, sunscreen, environmental residue, and excess sebum.

Sunflower, rapeseed, and apricot kernel oils glide effortlessly over dry skin, helping dissolve impurities without disrupting the complexion’s delicate moisture barrier. When water is added, the oil transforms into a lightweight, milky emulsion that rinses away cleanly without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.

Skin feels thoroughly cleansed yet soft, supple, and comfortable—never stripped. Suitable for every skin type, including dry, oily, mature, combination, and sensitive skin.

Benefits:

• Dissolves makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and impurities
• Cleanses without stripping the skin’s essential moisture
• Transforms from a silky oil into a lightweight milk
• Rinses clean without a heavy or greasy residue
• Helps maintain a soft, comfortable skin feel
• Provides antioxidant support with vitamin E-rich botanical oils
• Prepares the skin for a second cleanse and subsequent skincare
• Suitable for dry, oily, combination, mature, normal, and sensitive skin

Best For:

• Removing daily sunscreen and makeup
• The first step of a double-cleansing routine
• Dry or dehydrated skin that feels tight after cleansing
• Oily or combination skin with excess sebum
• Dull skin affected by environmental buildup
• Sensitive skin that prefers a non-foaming first cleanse
• Anyone seeking a nourishing, residue-free oil cleanser

Why It Is Different:

Cleansing oils can sometimes leave the skin coated or require a washcloth for complete removal. Susanne Kaufmann Deep Cleansing Oil contains an emulsifier that allows the botanical oils to transform into a light milk when water is added.

This oil-to-milk action helps the formula rinse away more completely while still delivering the comfort of an oil cleanser. The concise formula uses sunflower, rapeseed, and apricot kernel oils to dissolve buildup and condition the skin without an unnecessarily complicated ingredient list.

How It Works:

Oil attracts and dissolves oil-based buildup, including sebum, makeup, sunscreen, and environmental residue. Massaging the formula onto dry skin allows the botanical oils to bind to these impurities.

Adding warm water activates the emulsifier, transforming the oil into a milky texture that can be rinsed away. This leaves the complexion clean and comfortable without the tight feeling often associated with more aggressive cleansing.

Texture and Fragrance:

A lightweight, silky oil that spreads easily across dry skin before transforming into a delicate milk on contact with water. It rinses clean without leaving a heavy film.

The formula has a delicate geranium and rose-inspired fragrance and contains parfum, geraniol, citronellol, and linalool.

How to Use:

1. Dispense two to three pumps into clean, dry hands.
2. Massage onto dry skin across the face, neck, and décolleté.
3. Work the oil gently over areas with makeup, sunscreen, or visible buildup.
4. Wet the fingertips with warm water and continue massaging until the oil transforms into a milky emulsion.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat the skin dry.
6. Follow with Susanne Kaufmann Purifying Cleansing Gel when double cleansing.
7. Complete your ritual with toner, serum, and moisturizer.

Use each evening to remove makeup and sunscreen. It may also be used in the morning when the skin benefits from a soft, non-foaming cleanse.

Avoid direct contact with the eyes. For persistent waterproof eye makeup, use a dedicated eye-makeup remover.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

The secret to a beautiful oil cleanse is giving the formula time to work. Massage it over dry skin for approximately 30 to 60 seconds before adding water, paying particular attention to areas where sunscreen, makeup, or congestion tends to accumulate.

If you wear daily sunscreen or makeup, follow with Susanne Kaufmann Purifying Cleansing Gel for a complete evening double cleanse. Then apply Purifying Toner and finish with Nutrient Serum or the Susanne Kaufmann moisturizer best suited to your skin.

For dry or sensitive skin, the oil may be sufficient as a standalone morning cleanse. Oily or congestion-prone skin will generally benefit from rinsing thoroughly and following with a gentle water-based cleanser in the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does Susanne Kaufmann Deep Cleansing Oil remove?

It is designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, pollution, and oil-soluble impurities. It works particularly well as the first step of an evening double-cleansing routine.

Is Deep Cleansing Oil suitable for oily skin?

Yes. Susanne Kaufmann lists the cleanser as suitable for oily and combination skin. Oil cleansers dissolve excess sebum and oil-based buildup without relying on harsh degreasing agents. Emulsify and rinse thoroughly, then follow with Purifying Cleansing Gel when needed.

Can sensitive skin use this cleanser?

The non-foaming oil texture is designed to cleanse without stripping and is listed as suitable for sensitive skin. However, the formula contains fragrance, geraniol, citronellol, and linalool. Highly reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin should patch test before use.

Does it leave an oily residue?

The formula contains an emulsifier that transforms the oil into a lightweight milk when water is added. When properly emulsified and rinsed, it should leave the skin soft and comfortable without a heavy greasy film.

Do I need to double cleanse afterward?

Not always. A single cleanse may be sufficient for minimal makeup or dry skin. Double cleansing is recommended when wearing heavier makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, or when the skin is oily or prone to buildup. Follow with Susanne Kaufmann Purifying Cleansing Gel.

Can it remove waterproof makeup?

It can help loosen long-wearing makeup, but a dedicated eye-makeup remover may be more appropriate for persistent waterproof mascara or eyeliner. Avoid rubbing the delicate eye area.

Should an oil cleanser be applied to wet or dry skin?

Apply it to dry hands and dry skin first. Water should only be added after the oil has been massaged over the face. Adding water too early begins emulsification before the oils have fully dissolved the buildup.

Can I use it in the morning?

Yes, although it is most valuable in the evening when makeup, sunscreen, sebum, and environmental residue need to be removed. Dry or sensitive skin may also enjoy it as a gentle morning cleanser.

Is Deep Cleansing Oil fragrance-free?

No. It contains parfum and has a delicate geranium and rose-inspired scent. Geraniol, citronellol, and linalool are also listed fragrance allergens.

Does the rapeseed oil provide sun protection?

No. The finished cleanser does not provide tested SPF protection and is rinsed from the skin. Always apply a dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step of your morning routine.
