Introducing the Renew Cleansing Oil: All You Need to Know
Renew Cleansing Oil
The Renew Cleansing Oil blend removes makeup, impurities, and excess oil without stripping your skin of its natural moisture barrier. Especially beneficial during winter months and for dry skin, this formula leaves the skin feeling soft, refreshed, cleansed, and moisturized.
Unlike traditional, detergent-based cleansers (our Clarifying Cleanser does not fall under this category) that can leave your skin feeling dry and tight, oil cleansers maintain the skin’s moisture barrier, making them ideal for:
- Dry Skin: Oil cleansers replenish lost moisture and provide a protective barrier against the elements, leaving your skin hydrated.
- Winter Months: Cold weather and indoor heating can dehydrate the skin, making an oil cleanser the perfect solution to lock in moisture while keeping your skin clean.
By using oils that closely resemble the natural sebum of your skin, this formula not only cleanses but also balances oil production, making it beneficial for both oily and dry skin types.
We recommend using it with our Clarifying Cleanser. It was formulated to work well with our Clarifying Cleanser. It may be taken off with a clean, wet washcloth, but keep in mind if this method is used extra exfoliation will occur.
Key Ingredients:
Hemp Seed Oil:
Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, hemp seed oil is known for its ability to balance the skin’s natural oils. Its lightweight texture deeply penetrates the skin, helping to dissolve impurities without clogging pores. With its anti-inflammatory properties, hemp seed oil is perfect for calming irritated or dry skin, making it ideal for winter when the skin tends to be more sensitive.
Grapeseed Oil:
This light, antioxidant-rich oil is high in linoleic acid, which helps regulate sebum production, making it excellent for all skin types. Grapeseed oil also works as a natural cleanser, easily breaking down dirt, oil, and makeup, while providing a mild astringent effect that tones the skin without leaving it feeling tight or dry.
Jojoba Oil:
Jojoba oil mimics the skin’s natural sebum, allowing it to balance oil production and provide deep nourishment. It’s incredibly soothing and helps to maintain the skin’s protective barrier, which is crucial in preventing moisture loss, particularly in dry or cold climates. Its non-greasy, fast-absorbing nature makes it a perfect component for a cleansing oil, ensuring your skin stays supple without any greasy residue.
Pomegranate Seed Oil:
Known for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, pomegranate seed oil promotes skin healing and hydration. It’s rich in antioxidants, which help protect the skin from environmental damage, and its light texture allows it to penetrate deeply, rejuvenating the skin while cleansing. It’s particularly effective for dry and mature skin types, offering intense hydration and protection during harsh weather conditions.
Why Hemp Seed Oil?
When it comes to natural skincare ingredients, Hemp Seed Oil is quickly becoming a favorite among beauty enthusiasts and skincare experts alike. It’s hailed for its ability to nourish the skin, regulate oil production, and soothe inflammation, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types. But despite its growing popularity, there’s still some confusion about what Hemp Seed Oil actually is and how it differs from other cannabis-related products that contain THC.
Hemp Seed Oil is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). The key thing to note here is that the seeds themselves contain no THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)—the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. Unlike the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the cannabis plant, the seeds are entirely free from THC and CBD, making hemp seed oil non-psychoactive and purely nourishing for your skin.
Hemp Seed Oil vs. THC: What’s the Difference?
One of the most common misconceptions about Hemp Seed Oil is that it is the same as marijuana or that it contains THC. Let’s break this down:
- Hemp Seed Oil is derived solely from the seeds of the hemp plant. The seeds do not contain any psychoactive compounds like THC or CBD, making the oil completely safe and free from any mind-altering effects.
- THC, on the other hand, is found in the flowers and leaves of the marijuana plant, which is a different strain of Cannabis sativa. Marijuana plants are cultivated specifically to contain high levels of THC, whereas hemp plants are grown for their industrial uses, including fiber, seeds, and oils, with very low or no THC content (usually less than 0.3%).
So, while both marijuana and hemp come from the same species, their uses and compositions are vastly different. Hemp Seed Oil is purely a skin and health product, with no association with the psychoactive properties of marijuana.
The Benefits of Hemp Seed Oil for Skin
Now that we’ve cleared up any confusion, let’s focus on why Hemp Seed Oil is such a powerhouse for your skin:
1. Rich in Essential Fatty Acids
Hemp Seed Oil is packed with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are crucial for maintaining healthy skin. These essential fatty acids help strengthen the skin’s barrier, keeping moisture in and protecting against environmental stressors. This makes Hemp Seed Oil ideal for dry or dehydrated skin, particularly in harsh weather conditions like winter.
2. Balances Oil Production
One of the most unique benefits of Hemp Seed Oil is its ability to balance oil production. It closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, which helps regulate oil levels without clogging pores. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, Hemp Seed Oil can help bring your skin back into balance, making it a perfect ingredient for all skin types.
3. Anti-inflammatory Properties
Thanks to its high content of omega-6 fatty acids, specifically gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), Hemp Seed Oil has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It helps soothe irritation, reduce redness, and calm acne-prone skin. For those with conditions like eczema or psoriasis, Hemp Seed Oil can provide relief by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
4. Antioxidant-Rich
Hemp Seed Oil is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as antioxidants that help fight off free radicals, which are responsible for premature aging. Regular use of Hemp Seed Oil in your skincare routine can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin texture.
5. Non-comedogenic
Despite being an oil, Hemp Seed Oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. This makes it an excellent choice for people with acne-prone skin who need hydration without the risk of breakouts.
How to Use The Renew Cleansing Oil
1. Massage: Apply 5-7 pumps of oil to dry skin, massaging gently for about one minute minutes. Focus on areas with makeup or buildup.
2. Warm Cloth (Optional): For a deeper cleanse and light exfoliation, place a warm, damp washcloth on your face for a few seconds, then gently wipe away the oil.
3. Rinse or Double Cleanse: You can follow up by using a second cleanse with a gentle face wash for a more thorough cleanse.
Incorporate this into your morning and evening routine to give your skin the nourishment and care it needs, particularly during the cold, dry months. Your skin will feel clean, soft, and perfectly balanced.
Perfect For
- Those with dry or dehydrated skin, especially during winter.
- Anyone seeking a gentle, nourishing cleanse that doesn’t strip the skin.
- People looking to balance oil production and improve overall skin health.
