We've got a simple, good for your skin formulation that's so simple, you can make it at home.
This super-simple cleansing formulation contains hydrating and soothing ingredients that may actually be more effective and less irritating than some traditional cleansers.
Isopropyl Mystirate is used in this formulation as the emollient, alongside Grapeseed oil. The oil can be substituted for any other vegetable or fruit oil—if you have dry skin, try adding in some avocado or jojoba oils. For those with normal to sensitive skin, opt for calming oils, such as calendula or camellia seed oil (it's also a good idea to avoid cleansers with fragrances if you have sensitive skin).
