French Cleansing Oil 100 ml

The ODEN French Cleansing Oil combines thorough cleansing with a pleasantly nourished skin feel. On dry skin, the silky oil texture dissolves makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and dirt. As soon as water is added, it transforms into a fine cleansing milk and rinses off easily – without an oily film.

• Product type: emulsifying cleansing and makeup-removing oil
• Skin type: for all skin types, including combination, dry, and sensitive skin
• Cleansing: dissolves makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and daily residue
• Skin feel: clean, soft, and supple, without a greasy film
• Texture: silky oil that transforms into a fine milk on contact with water
• Key active ingredients: French poppy seed oil, organic sunflower oil, and daisy macerate
• Origin: poppies from Bresse, wild-harvested daisies from the Alpes-Maritimes
• Quality: 100% naturally derived, made in France, and COSMOS Natural certified by Ecocert

French sunflower and poppy seed oil are at the heart of the formula. The latter is a relatively uncommon plant oil with a high natural content of linoleic acid. It supports the skin’s lipid film and makes cleansing comfortable even for dry or sensitive skin. A macerate made from wild-harvested daisies complements the formula.

ODEN is equally consistent when it comes to sourcing: the poppy seed oil is obtained from seeds grown in Bresse and cold-pressed in France. The daisies are wild-harvested in the Alpes-Maritimes and macerated there in French organic sunflower oil.

The result is a simple first cleansing step that removes even stubborn makeup and leaves the skin clean, soft, and supple – for all skin types, including combination and sensitive skin.

Key active ingredients

• French poppy seed oil has a particularly fine texture and naturally contains high levels of linoleic and oleic acids. The plant lipids support the skin’s natural protective film, helping it feel soft and supple rather than dry or tight after cleansing.
• French organic sunflower oil is rich in linoleic acid and forms the nourishing base of the formula. It reliably dissolves oil-soluble residue while supporting the lipid barrier – an important advantage over highly degreasing cleansing products.
• Daisy macerate is made from wild-harvested flowers from the Alpes-Maritimes, macerated in French organic sunflower oil. It complements the cleansing action with a soothing, skin-nourishing component and contributes to a pleasant skin feel after rinsing.
• Vitamin E protects the sensitive plant oils from oxidation and complements the formula with antioxidant properties.

How to use

In the evening, apply 1–2 pumps to the dry face and massage with your fingertips for around 30 seconds. Pay particular attention to areas with makeup, sunscreen, and heavier buildup.

Then wet your hands with water and continue massaging. The oil transforms into a milky emulsion. Rinse off completely with plenty of lukewarm water.

A second cleanser is not essential. If you prefer double cleansing or wear particularly heavy makeup or sunscreen, you can follow with a mild water-based cleanser.

FAQ

Which skin type is the ODEN French Cleansing Oil suitable for?
The cleansing oil is suitable for all skin types – from dry and sensitive skin to combination and oilier skin. As it fully emulsifies with water, it does not leave a heavy oily film.

Does the oil also remove sunscreen and makeup?
Yes. The oil phase dissolves oil-soluble residue such as makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Even more tenacious makeup can be thoroughly removed with it.

Do I need to use a second cleanser afterward?
No. The French Cleansing Oil is designed as a cleansing and makeup-removing product and can be completely rinsed off with water. A second cleansing step is optional and may be useful if you prefer double cleansing.

Why is an oil also suitable for combination skin?
Cleansing oils dissolve sebum, sunscreen, and makeup without excessively stripping the skin. The key is that the formula emulsifies well and rinses off completely – which is precisely what the emulsifier included here ensures.

What makes poppy seed oil special?
Poppy seed oil is a relatively uncommon plant oil with a high proportion of linoleic acid and a fine, lightweight texture. It supports the natural lipid film and leaves the skin feeling pleasantly supple after cleansing.

Does the cleansing oil contain essential oils?
No. The formula contains no essential oils. The subtle fragrance comes from a naturally derived perfume.

About ODEN

ODEN makes French plants and their origins the starting point for high-quality skincare. The independent brand works directly with farms and producers in various regions of France and focuses on short supply chains, traceable raw materials, and gentle processing.

This approach is especially evident in the French Cleansing Oil: the rare poppy seed oil comes from Bresse and is cold-pressed in France. The daisies are wild-harvested in the Alpes-Maritimes and then macerated in French organic sunflower oil.

The formulas are deliberately kept concise. Rather than combining as many ingredients as possible, ODEN focuses on selected plants, their quality, and careful processing in France.
