Coconut Facial Cleansing Gel
Silky oil gel for gently removing makeup, sebum and impurities
This cleanser is essentially an oil gel or oleogel combining lightweight fractionated coconut oil with Sucragel.
Applied to dry skin, it helps dissolve makeup, sebum and sunscreen residue. When water is added, the gel emulsifies into a milky cleanser that rinses away easily.
Because the formula is anhydrous, it does not require a conventional broad-spectrum preservative. However, water should not be introduced into the packaging during use.
It is particularly suitable for:
- normal skin,
- dry and dehydrated skin,
- sensitive skin when fragrance-free,
- makeup removal,
- sunscreen removal,
- the first step of a double-cleansing routine.
Ingredients for 100 g
- 17 g Sucragel
- 82.8 g fractionated coconut oil
- 0.2 g lavender essential oil or another suitable fragrance component – optional
Total: 100 g
Method
Weigh Sucragel into a clean, completely dry container.
Add the fractionated coconut oil very slowly and in small portions, stirring continuously.
Only add the next portion once the previous one has been fully incorporated.
Once a smooth, homogeneous gel has formed, add the optional essential oil and mix thoroughly.
Transfer into clean, completely dry packaging.
Use
Apply a small amount to a dry face with dry hands.
Massage gently for 30–60 seconds.
Wet your hands and massage again until the product turns into a milky emulsion.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser if using it as the first step of a double-cleansing routine.
