Mongongo Pre-Cleanse Oil

$46

The first step. A lightweight oil that dissolves sunscreen, makeup and the day's build-up before your cleanser touches your skin. Mongongo oil from the Kalahari melts everything off without stripping the barrier deeper skin depends on.

Massage onto dry skin for sixty seconds, add water to emulsify, rinse. Follow with the Enzyme Cleanser.

Questions

Is it safe for sensitive, melanin-rich skin?

It was built for it. Fragrance-free, no essential oils, no high-strength acids. Patch test behind the ear for 48 hours before first full use, as with anything new.

How long does one last?

About 60 days used as directed, which is why the subscription renews every 60 days.

What if it doesn’t suit my skin?

Return it within 30 days, opened or not, for a full refund.
