28.8 €

Lumessentials oil-to-milk cleanser redefines the cleansing step in your routine. It's a smooth gel that turns into milk when you add water.

It removes makeup, excess oil, and daily dirt without stripping your skin. Gentle enough for eyes – no sting, no cloudy residue. Works for all skin types, especially those seeking an effective yet soothing alternative to foaming cleansers.

Texture: Smooth gel, spreads easily.
Scent: Subtle, with sweet notes. Intentionally mild and non-persistent.
pH: Water-free formula. No measurable pH.

✓ Dermatologically tested

Our oil-to-milk gel cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities without messing with your skin barrier. It starts as a gel and glides across the skin. Then it washes away cleanly without leaving a greasy film or stripped skin. No tightness. No residue. Just clean, comfortable skin.

The formulation is built on minimalist thinking. Sugar-derived emulsifiers create the signature gel-to-milk transformation. They thicken oils into a glossy gel without gums or waxes. Add water, and they emulsify beautifully. Simple ingredients, smartly combined.

How it works

Coconut oil

We use coconut oil as a gentle yet effective emollient. It dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil without stripping the skin. Rich in nourishing fatty acids, it helps to soften the skin's surface and support the lipid barrier during cleansing. Your skin is left clean yet comforted.

Carrot root extract

Oil-soluble carrot root extract does two things. It adds a natural carroty color to our gel. It also brings antioxidant carotenoids, including beta-carotene, to the party. They help protect skin from daily stressors. Color with soothing and conditioning benefits.

Sugar-derived emulsifiers

A blend of sugar-derived emulsifiers thicken oils into a smooth gel. These innovative ingredients are responsible for the product's signature transformation from a gel to a milky emulsion upon contact with water. No harsh surfactants needed. Just effective cleansing that respects your skin's natural balance.

What: Glossy gel that melts away makeup + sunscreen + impurities. Oils nourish while cleansing. No stripping. No tightness. No grease. Dermatologically tested. Safe for all skin types, including sensitive.
