All sizes Herbal Oil Cleanser, now Oil Cleansing Face Ritual
from $26.50
This product was previously known as "Herbal Oil Cleanser".
A cleanser. A moisturizer, an eye make-up remover. Your mug knows what's good for it. Vitamin-rich and emollient Sesame oil absorbs UV radiation, copy-cat Jojoba is a look-a-like for the natural moisturizing oil of your skin. And Chamomile and Calendula are super soothing and healing for sensitive mug skin. Use this oil cleanser to dissolve sebum and dirt and still retain the crucial acid mantle on your skin. Carrier oils, such as olive, coconut and sesame, combine with sebum, dissolve the sebum and allow it to be rinsed away. Soap has a high ph, which can dry skin and diminish skin's life expectancy. This facial oil will leave your skin feeling fantastically soft, silky and supple. Only a small amount is needed per cleanse.
To apply oil as a moisturizer, use only 1 drop, rub hands together briskly and lightly touch your face with your hands. No residual oil should sit on your skin.
I created this cleanser to combat the dry skin I had from living in Colorado at 9200 ft in the mountains. It really dries out your skin here! I gave up washing my face with soap, the change was dramatic, and I've never looked back!
BONUS: I have a lovely written description of how to create a ritual and ceremony when using my herbal facial care products, step by step for each product. If you would like a copy of this description, please let me know in the comment section at checkout and I will send a copy of this description to the email associated with your Etsy account, or write the email account you would like it sent to. (This description is only available when ordering one of my facial care products).
NOTE: * The 2 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in a brown apothecary glass bottle with a tincture style dropper.
* The 4 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in (2) 2 ounce PET brown plastic bottles with flip tops. I got a really good deal on 2 ounce bottles, so that is why I am using 2 bottles for your 4 ounce order. Which I pass that savings right on to my customers so they get the best price possible:) See pics above.
* The 8 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in (4) 2 ounce PET blue plastic bottles with flip tops also and for the same reason listed above.
Remember - larger sizes cost less per ounce!

+++++TESTIMONIALS++++++
"These products are amazing!! The cleanser is a beautiful green color and smells and feels so good! And the powders and tea helped sooth the reflux and indigestion I was having. So grateful!!"
from Shelley
"I love this facial cleansing oil. I live in a dry climate, and this is what my skin needs. It’s a lovely product that I am happy I was led to! I will purchase again."
from June
"This oil cleanser is absolutely divine, and the tinctures are very, very high quality. I also loved all of the informative materials included, especially about the eco packaging & awareness about toxins!! It was an absolute joy to receive this package, full of wonderful energy."
from nrbricklin
"This oil cleanser has been my go-to for years! It is the only oil I have found that doesn't make me break out, and it smells amazing. It's like a spa treatment every time I use it. Winters are incredibly dry where I live, and this oil keeps me feeling young and fresh."
from M.L.
"Still love this oil cleanser after years of use! Works great as a cleanser, doesn't clog pores, and smells amazing!" from GoRoShamBo
"I had a wonderful experience with vital roots. I have extremely sensitive skin, I break out in rashes from a lot of products. These products have helped my skin become more clear and soft."
from Allie Houston
"Amazing. My favorite facial cleanser. I use it as a moisturizer as well. Pure herbal goodness 🌿🌸🍃✨"
from Emily D.
"I recently received my package from Vital Roots. I am so sensitive I generally have to make my own skin care products, but these products are amazing! The cleanings oil feels like heaven on my skin leaving it moist and clean. The toner and wrinkle cream are just divine! And the “inside out herbal infusion”. Is the perfect blend for the end of day. It feeds my cells and warms my soul all while tasting like a bit of minty heaven. These are amazing natural products at a very reasonable price."
from Brenda Hinck Harper
"I just have to tell you how AH-mazing your face oil is! I literally feel like I’m at a spa every time I use it, which is 2x a day :) Love it, thank you for such a wonderful product."
from Mallory L., in Colorado
"I tried this with a little trepidation since I sometimes have T-zone oiliness, but I love it! No longer any little flakes in my dry areas, and it works so well in combination with the toner and moisturizer."
from Shirley S.
"I've been using this oil for quite a while now but I started out using it only for a nighttime facial cleanser. Currently, I use it both in the morning and at night as my moisturizer. I use the couple of drops that Lori recommends and rub into my face. My skin is very oily and blemish prone, but it calms my skin almost immediately. Any pimples I have that want to come to a head are less inflamed and less red by morning (when using at night). This oil works great under makeup as well, as it absorbs into your skin and doesn't sit on top. I've been using Lori's products for at least four years now and I am so so happy I found them!"
from Brooke
"Just crazy about this product! There is also a toner and moisturizer called "Eye Pop" that complete the entire facial regiment. They work very well together. I've had so many years of using good well known products that just didn't work well with my skin. I have sensitive, fair skin that has some sun damage and is on the mature side. Parts of my skin would inevitably be dry and scaley feeling by late in the day. This cleanser is gentle, easy to use and really not more than a few drops is needed to work. Very nice scent as well. My skin is doing and feeling great all day and night."
from Maryann Kosinski
"I have struggled with mild acne cysts for 20 years and have used numerous products with little benefit. I purchased Lori's herbal oil cleanser, toner, and eye pop about 5 months ago and have absolutely loved it! I have not had one single cyst since using it! This is the longest I have gone in 20 years without getting a cyst!! I couldn't recommend Lori's products enough!"
from Sarah Grunder
"Love love love!!! I have been using this for a few years and my skin is very happy! I use it for everything, makeup remover, moisturizer, anti-itch/bug bites, after sun oil... It is amazing! And the smell is heavenly!"
from A. in Minnesota
"I have been using this as a facial cleansers for over a year and just love it!"
from A.A.
"I really like this cleanser so far. I've tried several times to make my own oil cleanser, but always had less than satisfactory results. The mug preference goes on and cleans off beautifully and I'm able to use so much less than I did with my own concoctions that this should last me quite awhile. With my own recipes my pores got smaller and my blackheads cleared up completely, but I kept getting large, tender pimples that took around a week to go away. With Mug Preference I've seen all the positives with my pores and blackheads clearing up, but none of the negatives! Also, my own recipes were so heavy that they left a hard to clean film in my shower and I had to wash my washcloths separately, but MP is so light, I haven't had any issues like that at all. I even started using it on my 7 yr. old daughter's face to combat dryness."
from T.S.
"I have a strong background in science, but while I understood the concept of "like dissolves like," I never bothered checking out oil cleansing. Fortunately, Lori included a generous sample [Lori's note: this sample was part of a special promotion] of this wonderful stuff in an order for another product - I will never go back to using soap on my face again. I have oily skin with dry patches, and this amazing product evens everything out, and leaves my skin feeling supple and fabulous. It does take a bit longer to wash my face with this method, but it's worth it. I only wear mascara and occasionally eyeliner, and it dissolves and removes them very well. I've been applying the oil at the beginning of my shower, and then wiping it away at the end, and it seems to work beautifully. Thank you, Lori!"
from E.D.
"Hi, I'm Marcie, a Colorado native. I'm 47 years old and I have always had oily skin. For years I used soap, but still had to blot my face several times a day. Then I started using Mug Preference, a facial oil, 3 years ago. It is the only facial product I use now. After using Mug Preference, a facial oil, my skin is actually less oily and very balanced. At first I was skeptical of using oil for my oily skin, but now I'll never use anything else. People even comment on how young my skin looks."
"I've been using the facial oil as a cleanser and moisturizer, and my skin has been getting better and better." A.F.
"Hi Lori,
I wanted to write to tell you how much I love your products. I recently ordered the eye pop facial lotion and the mug oil and I am so impressed with how wonderfully they work, smell, and leave my skin feeling." C.C.
"Thanks so much for sending me a sample of this oil [Lori's note: the oil was Mug Preference, a facial oil, and part of a special promotion] with my last order. I never would have purchased it if you hadn't! I tried the oil cleansing method about two years ago and had the worst cystic acne breakout of my life. It didn't go away for about three months. I was completely scared off of OCM, but your product has changed my mind:)" B.C.
"This is one of my favorite products ever! It is like a face wash, moisturizer, and make up remover all in one! It is so easy to use. I had my doubts about feeling too oily or greasy after using it, but that is not the case at all. I love the way it makes my skin feel! Also, my orders always arrive promptly and sometimes even include free samples of other goodies :) Thanks for such a great product!" N.W.

+++++ ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND WHAT WE DON'T USE +++++
At Vital Roots, we believe that "all natural" means that every single, last ingredient is natural. Not that the main ingredient is natural and that's enough. Or even that almost all ingredients are natural, besides the fragrance oil and synthetic preservatives. At Vital Roots we use only natural ingredients and that includes our natural preservatives. We are....
*paraben-free *phthalate-free
* sulfate/sls-free *phenoxyethanol-free
* caprlyl glycol (Optiphen)-free * synthetic color-free
*corn, cottonseed, canola and soybean oil-free * petroleum-free
*Never any mineral oil, no solvent-extract carrier oils, no Tetra-sodium EDTA, no polysorbate 20 or 80.
* And no fragrance oils. The term "fragrance" can have up to 4,000 separate chemicals, which the FDA does not require the manufacturer to list. Many of these chemicals are carcinogenic, toxic, or hormone disruptors.
~~~ What's left, you ask?~~~
Natural ingredients as close to what the earth gave us as we could get.
~~~ Try us, your skin will agree.~~~
NOTE: This product may or may not be safe for use during your pregnancy. This product contains the normal 2% dilution of essential oils and also contains carrot seed essential oil as part of the essential oil blend. Both of which (the dilution percentage and the inclusion of carrot seed essential oil) have been debated in the essential oil world as to whether these applications are safe for pregnant women. Lcofacirema aka Vital Roots used to carry a 'pregnant mama' line of body products and only used specific essential oils at a 1% dilution that could be used safely over the entire body. Facial care products are only used on a smaller part of the body, and some are products that wash off, but Vital Roots still urges all users to follow the advice of their knowledgeable practitioners as to whether this product is safe for use during their own pregnancy.
+++++ REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE +++++
90% or more of paper and shipping and packing supplies used by Vital Roots is upcycled or reused. Love your trees and protest petroleum-based manufacturing. Recycle your Vital Roots bottles at your recycling center. They are recyclable!
+++++ DISCLAIMER +++++

+++++TESTIMONIALS++++++
"These products are amazing!! The cleanser is a beautiful green color and smells and feels so good! And the powders and tea helped sooth the reflux and indigestion I was having. So grateful!!"
from Shelley
"I love this facial cleansing oil. I live in a dry climate, and this is what my skin needs. It’s a lovely product that I am happy I was led to! I will purchase again."
from June
"This oil cleanser is absolutely divine, and the tinctures are very, very high quality. I also loved all of the informative materials included, especially about the eco packaging & awareness about toxins!! It was an absolute joy to receive this package, full of wonderful energy."
from nrbricklin
"This oil cleanser has been my go-to for years! It is the only oil I have found that doesn't make me break out, and it smells amazing. It's like a spa treatment every time I use it. Winters are incredibly dry where I live, and this oil keeps me feeling young and fresh."
from M.L.
"Still love this oil cleanser after years of use! Works great as a cleanser, doesn't clog pores, and smells amazing!" from GoRoShamBo
"I had a wonderful experience with vital roots. I have extremely sensitive skin, I break out in rashes from a lot of products. These products have helped my skin become more clear and soft."
from Allie Houston
"Amazing. My favorite facial cleanser. I use it as a moisturizer as well. Pure herbal goodness 🌿🌸🍃✨"
from Emily D.
"I recently received my package from Vital Roots. I am so sensitive I generally have to make my own skin care products, but these products are amazing! The cleanings oil feels like heaven on my skin leaving it moist and clean. The toner and wrinkle cream are just divine! And the “inside out herbal infusion”. Is the perfect blend for the end of day. It feeds my cells and warms my soul all while tasting like a bit of minty heaven. These are amazing natural products at a very reasonable price."
from Brenda Hinck Harper
"I just have to tell you how AH-mazing your face oil is! I literally feel like I’m at a spa every time I use it, which is 2x a day :) Love it, thank you for such a wonderful product."
from Mallory L., in Colorado
"I tried this with a little trepidation since I sometimes have T-zone oiliness, but I love it! No longer any little flakes in my dry areas, and it works so well in combination with the toner and moisturizer."
from Shirley S.
"I've been using this oil for quite a while now but I started out using it only for a nighttime facial cleanser. Currently, I use it both in the morning and at night as my moisturizer. I use the couple of drops that Lori recommends and rub into my face. My skin is very oily and blemish prone, but it calms my skin almost immediately. Any pimples I have that want to come to a head are less inflamed and less red by morning (when using at night). This oil works great under makeup as well, as it absorbs into your skin and doesn't sit on top. I've been using Lori's products for at least four years now and I am so so happy I found them!"
from Brooke
"Just crazy about this product! There is also a toner and moisturizer called "Eye Pop" that complete the entire facial regiment. They work very well together. I've had so many years of using good well known products that just didn't work well with my skin. I have sensitive, fair skin that has some sun damage and is on the mature side. Parts of my skin would inevitably be dry and scaley feeling by late in the day. This cleanser is gentle, easy to use and really not more than a few drops is needed to work. Very nice scent as well. My skin is doing and feeling great all day and night."
from Maryann Kosinski
"I have struggled with mild acne cysts for 20 years and have used numerous products with little benefit. I purchased Lori's herbal oil cleanser, toner, and eye pop about 5 months ago and have absolutely loved it! I have not had one single cyst since using it! This is the longest I have gone in 20 years without getting a cyst!! I couldn't recommend Lori's products enough!"
from Sarah Grunder
"Love love love!!! I have been using this for a few years and my skin is very happy! I use it for everything, makeup remover, moisturizer, anti-itch/bug bites, after sun oil... It is amazing! And the smell is heavenly!"
from A. in Minnesota
"I have been using this as a facial cleansers for over a year and just love it!"
from A.A.
"I really like this cleanser so far. I've tried several times to make my own oil cleanser, but always had less than satisfactory results. The mug preference goes on and cleans off beautifully and I'm able to use so much less than I did with my own concoctions that this should last me quite awhile. With my own recipes my pores got smaller and my blackheads cleared up completely, but I kept getting large, tender pimples that took around a week to go away. With Mug Preference I've seen all the positives with my pores and blackheads clearing up, but none of the negatives! Also, my own recipes were so heavy that they left a hard to clean film in my shower and I had to wash my washcloths separately, but MP is so light, I haven't had any issues like that at all. I even started using it on my 7 yr. old daughter's face to combat dryness."
from T.S.
"I have a strong background in science, but while I understood the concept of "like dissolves like," I never bothered checking out oil cleansing. Fortunately, Lori included a generous sample [Lori's note: this sample was part of a special promotion] of this wonderful stuff in an order for another product - I will never go back to using soap on my face again. I have oily skin with dry patches, and this amazing product evens everything out, and leaves my skin feeling supple and fabulous. It does take a bit longer to wash my face with this method, but it's worth it. I only wear mascara and occasionally eyeliner, and it dissolves and removes them very well. I've been applying the oil at the beginning of my shower, and then wiping it away at the end, and it seems to work beautifully. Thank you, Lori!"
from E.D.
"Hi, I'm Marcie, a Colorado native. I'm 47 years old and I have always had oily skin. For years I used soap, but still had to blot my face several times a day. Then I started using Mug Preference, a facial oil, 3 years ago. It is the only facial product I use now. After using Mug Preference, a facial oil, my skin is actually less oily and very balanced. At first I was skeptical of using oil for my oily skin, but now I'll never use anything else. People even comment on how young my skin looks."
"I've been using the facial oil as a cleanser and moisturizer, and my skin has been getting better and better." A.F.
"Hi Lori,
I wanted to write to tell you how much I love your products. I recently ordered the eye pop facial lotion and the mug oil and I am so impressed with how wonderfully they work, smell, and leave my skin feeling." C.C.
"Thanks so much for sending me a sample of this oil [Lori's note: the oil was Mug Preference, a facial oil, and part of a special promotion] with my last order. I never would have purchased it if you hadn't! I tried the oil cleansing method about two years ago and had the worst cystic acne breakout of my life. It didn't go away for about three months. I was completely scared off of OCM, but your product has changed my mind:)" B.C.
"This is one of my favorite products ever! It is like a face wash, moisturizer, and make up remover all in one! It is so easy to use. I had my doubts about feeling too oily or greasy after using it, but that is not the case at all. I love the way it makes my skin feel! Also, my orders always arrive promptly and sometimes even include free samples of other goodies :) Thanks for such a great product!" N.W.

+++++ ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND WHAT WE DON'T USE +++++
At Vital Roots, we believe that "all natural" means that every single, last ingredient is natural. Not that the main ingredient is natural and that's enough. Or even that almost all ingredients are natural, besides the fragrance oil and synthetic preservatives. At Vital Roots we use only natural ingredients and that includes our natural preservatives. We are....
*paraben-free *phthalate-free
* sulfate/sls-free *phenoxyethanol-free
* caprlyl glycol (Optiphen)-free * synthetic color-free
*corn, cottonseed, canola and soybean oil-free * petroleum-free
*Never any mineral oil, no solvent-extract carrier oils, no Tetra-sodium EDTA, no polysorbate 20 or 80.
* And no fragrance oils. The term "fragrance" can have up to 4,000 separate chemicals, which the FDA does not require the manufacturer to list. Many of these chemicals are carcinogenic, toxic, or hormone disruptors.
~~~ What's left, you ask?~~~
Natural ingredients as close to what the earth gave us as we could get.
~~~ Try us, your skin will agree.~~~
NOTE: This product may or may not be safe for use during your pregnancy. This product contains the normal 2% dilution of essential oils and also contains carrot seed essential oil as part of the essential oil blend. Both of which (the dilution percentage and the inclusion of carrot seed essential oil) have been debated in the essential oil world as to whether these applications are safe for pregnant women. Lcofacirema aka Vital Roots used to carry a 'pregnant mama' line of body products and only used specific essential oils at a 1% dilution that could be used safely over the entire body. Facial care products are only used on a smaller part of the body, and some are products that wash off, but Vital Roots still urges all users to follow the advice of their knowledgeable practitioners as to whether this product is safe for use during their own pregnancy.
+++++ REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE +++++
90% or more of paper and shipping and packing supplies used by Vital Roots is upcycled or reused. Love your trees and protest petroleum-based manufacturing. Recycle your Vital Roots bottles at your recycling center. They are recyclable!

A cleanser. A moisturizer, an eye make-up remover. Your mug knows what's good for it. Vitamin-rich and emollient Sesame oil absorbs UV radiation, copy-cat Jojoba is a look-a-like for the natural moisturizing oil of your skin. And Chamomile and Calendula are super soothing and healing for sensitive mug skin. Use this oil cleanser to dissolve sebum and dirt and still retain the crucial acid mantle on your skin. Carrier oils, such as olive, coconut and sesame, combine with sebum, dissolve the sebum and allow it to be rinsed away. Soap has a high ph, which can dry skin and diminish skin's life expectancy. This facial oil will leave your skin feeling fantastically soft, silky and supple. Only a small amount is needed per cleanse.
To apply oil as a moisturizer, use only 1 drop, rub hands together briskly and lightly touch your face with your hands. No residual oil should sit on your skin.
I created this cleanser to combat the dry skin I had from living in Colorado at 9200 ft in the mountains. It really dries out your skin here! I gave up washing my face with soap, the change was dramatic, and I've never looked back!
BONUS: I have a lovely written description of how to create a ritual and ceremony when using my herbal facial care products, step by step for each product. If you would like a copy of this description, please let me know in the comment section at checkout and I will send a copy of this description to the email associated with your Etsy account, or write the email account you would like it sent to. (This description is only available when ordering one of my facial care products).
NOTE: * The 2 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in a brown apothecary glass bottle with a tincture style dropper.
* The 4 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in (2) 2 ounce PET brown plastic bottles with flip tops. I got a really good deal on 2 ounce bottles, so that is why I am using 2 bottles for your 4 ounce order. Which I pass that savings right on to my customers so they get the best price possible:) See pics above.
* The 8 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in (4) 2 ounce PET blue plastic bottles with flip tops also and for the same reason listed above.
Remember - larger sizes cost less per ounce!

"I recently received my package from Vital Roots. I am so sensitive I generally have to make my own skin care products, but these products are amazing! The cleanings oil feels like heaven on my skin leaving it moist and clean. The toner and wrinkle cream are just divine! And the “inside out herbal infusion”. Is the perfect blend for the end of day. It feeds my cells and warms my soul all while tasting like a bit of minty heaven. These are amazing natural products at a very reasonable price."
from Brenda Hinck Harper
"I just have to tell you how AH-mazing your face oil is! I literally feel like I’m at a spa every time I use it, which is 2x a day :) Love it, thank you for such a wonderful product."
from Mallory L., in Colorado
"I tried this with a little trepidation since I sometimes have T-zone oiliness, but I love it! No longer any little flakes in my dry areas, and it works so well in combination with the toner and moisturizer."
from Shirley S.
"I've been using this oil for quite a while now but I started out using it only for a nighttime facial cleanser. Currently, I use it both in the morning and at night as my moisturizer. I use the couple of drops that Lori recommends and rub into my face. My skin is very oily and blemish prone, but it calms my skin almost immediately. Any pimples I have that want to come to a head are less inflamed and less red by morning (when using at night). This oil works great under makeup as well, as it absorbs into your skin and doesn't sit on top. I've been using Lori's products for at least four years now and I am so so happy I found them!"
from Brooke
"Just crazy about this product! There is also a toner and moisturizer called "Eye Pop" that complete the entire facial regiment. They work very well together. I've had so many years of using good well known products that just didn't work well with my skin. I have sensitive, fair skin that has some sun damage and is on the mature side. Parts of my skin would inevitably be dry and scaley feeling by late in the day. This cleanser is gentle, easy to use and really not more than a few drops is needed to work. Very nice scent as well. My skin is doing and feeling great all day and night."
from Maryann Kosinski
"I have struggled with mild acne cysts for 20 years and have used numerous products with little benefit. I purchased Lori's herbal oil cleanser, toner, and eye pop about 5 months ago and have absolutely loved it! I have not had one single cyst since using it! This is the longest I have gone in 20 years without getting a cyst!! I couldn't recommend Lori's products enough!"
from Sarah Grunder
"Love love love!!! I have been using this for a few years and my skin is very happy! I use it for everything, makeup remover, moisturizer, anti-itch/bug bites, after sun oil... It is amazing! And the smell is heavenly!"
from A. in Minnesota
"I have been using this as a facial cleansers for over a year and just love it!"
from A.A.
"I really like this cleanser so far. I've tried several times to make my own oil cleanser, but always had less than satisfactory results. The mug preference goes on and cleans off beautifully and I'm able to use so much less than I did with my own concoctions that this should last me quite awhile. With my own recipes my pores got smaller and my blackheads cleared up completely, but I kept getting large, tender pimples that took around a week to go away. With Mug Preference I've seen all the positives with my pores and blackheads clearing up, but none of the negatives! Also, my own recipes were so heavy that they left a hard to clean film in my shower and I had to wash my washcloths separately, but MP is so light, I haven't had any issues like that at all. I even started using it on my 7 yr. old daughter's face to combat dryness."
from T.S.
"I have a strong background in science, but while I understood the concept of "like dissolves like," I never bothered checking out oil cleansing. Fortunately, Lori included a generous sample [Lori's note: this sample was part of a special promotion] of this wonderful stuff in an order for another product - I will never go back to using soap on my face again. I have oily skin with dry patches, and this amazing product evens everything out, and leaves my skin feeling supple and fabulous. It does take a bit longer to wash my face with this method, but it's worth it. I only wear mascara and occasionally eyeliner, and it dissolves and removes them very well. I've been applying the oil at the beginning of my shower, and then wiping it away at the end, and it seems to work beautifully. Thank you, Lori!"
from E.D.
"Hi, I'm Marcie, a Colorado native. I'm 47 years old and I have always had oily skin. For years I used soap, but still had to blot my face several times a day. Then I started using Mug Preference, a facial oil, 3 years ago. It is the only facial product I use now. After using Mug Preference, a facial oil, my skin is actually less oily and very balanced. At first I was skeptical of using oil for my oily skin, but now I'll never use anything else. People even comment on how young my skin looks."
"I've been using the facial oil as a cleanser and moisturizer, and my skin has been getting better and better." A.F.
"Hi Lori,
I wanted to write to tell you how much I love your products. I recently ordered the eye pop facial lotion and the mug oil and I am so impressed with how wonderfully they work, smell, and leave my skin feeling." C.C.
"Thanks so much for sending me a sample of this oil [Lori's note: the oil was Mug Preference, a facial oil, and part of a special promotion] with my last order. I never would have purchased it if you hadn't! I tried the oil cleansing method about two years ago and had the worst cystic acne breakout of my life. It didn't go away for about three months. I was completely scared off of OCM, but your product has changed my mind:)" B.C.
"This is one of my favorite products ever! It is like a face wash, moisturizer, and make up remover all in one! It is so easy to use. I had my doubts about feeling too oily or greasy after using it, but that is not the case at all. I love the way it makes my skin feel! Also, my orders always arrive promptly and sometimes even include free samples of other goodies :) Thanks for such a great product!" N.W.

+++++ ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND WHAT WE DON'T USE +++++
At Vital Roots, we believe that "all natural" means that every single, last ingredient is natural. Not that the main ingredient is natural and that's enough. Or even that almost all ingredients are natural, besides the fragrance oil and synthetic preservatives. At Vital Roots we use only natural ingredients and that includes our natural preservatives. We are....
*paraben-free *phthalate-free
* sulfate/sls-free *phenoxyethanol-free
* caprlyl glycol (Optiphen)-free * synthetic color-free
*corn, cottonseed, canola and soybean oil-free * petroleum-free
*Never any mineral oil, no solvent-extract carrier oils, no Tetra-sodium EDTA, no polysorbate 20 or 80.
* And no fragrance oils. The term "fragrance" can have up to 4,000 separate chemicals, which the FDA does not require the manufacturer to list. Many of these chemicals are carcinogenic, toxic, or hormone disruptors.
~~~ What's left, you ask?~~~
Natural ingredients as close to what the earth gave us as we could get.
~~~ Try us, your skin will agree.~~~
NOTE: This product may or may not be safe for use during your pregnancy. This product contains the normal 2% dilution of essential oils and also contains carrot seed essential oil as part of the essential oil blend. Both of which (the dilution percentage and the inclusion of carrot seed essential oil) have been debated in the essential oil world as to whether these applications are safe for pregnant women. Lcofacirema aka Vital Roots used to carry a 'pregnant mama' line of body products and only used specific essential oils at a 1% dilution that could be used safely over the entire body. Facial care products are only used on a smaller part of the body, and some are products that wash off, but Vital Roots still urges all users to follow the advice of their knowledgeable practitioners as to whether this product is safe for use during their own pregnancy.

A cleanser. A moisturizer, an eye make-up remover. Your mug knows what's good for it. Vitamin-rich and emollient Sesame oil absorbs UV radiation, copy-cat Jojoba is a look-a-like for the natural moisturizing oil of your skin. And Chamomile and Calendula are super soothing and healing for sensitive mug skin. Use this oil cleanser to dissolve sebum and dirt and still retain the crucial acid mantle on your skin. Carrier oils, such as olive, coconut and sesame, combine with sebum, dissolve the sebum and allow it to be rinsed away. Soap has a high ph, which can dry skin and diminish skin's life expectancy. This facial oil will leave your skin feeling fantastically soft, silky and supple. Only a small amount is needed per cleanse.
To apply oil as a moisturizer, use only 1 drop, rub hands together briskly and lightly touch your face with your hands. No residual oil should sit on your skin.
I created this cleanser to combat the dry skin I had from living in Colorado at 9200 ft in the mountains. It really dries out your skin here! I gave up washing my face with soap, the change was dramatic, and I've never looked back!
BONUS: I have a lovely written description of how to create a ritual and ceremony when using my herbal facial care products, step by step for each product. If you would like a copy of this description, please let me know in the comment section at checkout and I will send a copy of this description to the email associated with your Etsy account, or write the email account you would like it sent to. (This description is only available when ordering one of my facial care products).
NOTE: * The 2 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in a brown apothecary glass bottle with a tincture style dropper.
* The 4 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in (2) 2 ounce PET brown plastic bottles with flip tops. I got a really good deal on 2 ounce bottles, so that is why I am using 2 bottles for your 4 ounce order. Which I pass that savings right on to my customers so they get the best price possible:) See pics above.
* The 8 oz Herbal Oil Cleanser comes in (4) 2 ounce PET blue plastic bottles with flip tops also and for the same reason listed above.
Remember - larger sizes cost less per ounce!
The Herbal Oil Cleanser is the first step in my herbalistic skin care protocol.
The second step is the toner, "gentle toner", https://www.etsy.com/listing/97809258/2-oz-toner-herbal-mild-exfoliator-gentle?ref=related-7.
The third step in my herbalistic skin care protocol is "moisturizer + wrinkle reducer", https://www.etsy.com/listing/510493487/1-oz-moisturizer-wrinkle-reducer-firming?ref=listing-shop-header-0.
The fourth, but still oh so crucial step in my herbalistic skin care protocol is the "inside out herbal infusion" https://www.etsy.com/listing/496969560/the-8-oz-inside-out-herbal-infusion?ref=related-0.

from June
"This oil cleanser is absolutely divine, and the tinctures are very, very high quality. I also loved all of the informative materials included, especially about the eco packaging & awareness about toxins!! It was an absolute joy to receive this package, full of wonderful energy."
from nrbricklin
"This oil cleanser has been my go-to for years! It is the only oil I have found that doesn't make me break out, and it smells amazing. It's like a spa treatment every time I use it. Winters are incredibly dry where I live, and this oil keeps me feeling young and fresh."
from M.L.
"Still love this oil cleanser after years of use! Works great as a cleanser, doesn't clog pores, and smells amazing!" from GoRoShamBo
