Description
Cleansing oil with argan oil and olive oil for makeup
Makeup, sun protection, and the fine particle pollution that settles on the skin throughout the day are oil-soluble — meaning a water-based cleanser only partially removes them. A cleansing oil, on the other hand, works on the principle that 'oil dissolves oil,' allowing even waterproof mascara and SPF to be removed in one motion without rubbing.
Cosmedix Purity Solution is a nourishing cleansing oil with a rich composition of olive oil, moringa, kukui, safflower, sesame, and argan. The oil emulsifies on contact with water and rinses clean without leaving a greasy film. The skin remains supple, nourished, and hydrated — even after the most stubborn makeup or a day with sun protection.
Benefits
- Removes waterproof makeup and SPF without drying out the skin
- Dissolves sun protection and sebum without rubbing or pulling
- Nourishes the skin with antioxidants and essential fatty acids
- Rinses off completely thanks to the emulsifying formula
- Mild enough for the eye and lip area
Active ingredients
Olive oil: Rich in oleic acid and polyphenols that nourish the skin and support the natural lipid barrier. Reduces moisture loss during cleansing and helps maintain skin suppleness, especially for skin that feels dry quickly after a classic cleanser.
Argan oil: A light, fast-absorbing oil from Morocco, rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid. Softens the skin and contributes to a smoother, healthy-looking complexion without leaving a greasy film on the skin surface.
Moringa oil: Contains a high concentration of behenic acid and oleic acid, along with a broad spectrum of vitamins that give the skin a natural glow. Helps protect the skin against oxidative damage from fine dust and pollution.
Kukui and sesame oil: Two traditional beauty oils from Hawaii and Asia, respectively. Both provide essential fatty acids that support the skin barrier and leave the skin feeling comfortable after cleansing.
Neem and turmeric extract: Plant extracts with a long tradition in Ayurvedic skincare. They work purifying and soothing, making this cleansing oil also suitable for those who quickly worry about impure skin due to oil use.

Frequently asked questions
How does a double cleanse work and is it really necessary?
In a double cleanse, you first use an oil cleanser like Purity Solution to dissolve makeup, SPF, and sebum. Then follow with a water-based cleanser like Purity Clean or Benefit Clean for a thorough second cleanse. For those who wear makeup or daily SPF, this is the most effective way to truly clean the skin without drying it out.
Does this cleansing oil clog pores on combination or impure skin?
No, provided it is rinsed well with water. The oil is formulated to emulsify on contact with water and rinse away completely. A second cleansing after the oil is recommended for impure skin to ensure all oil residues are removed from the skin.
Can I also use Purity Solution to remove eye makeup?
Yes, the formula is gentle enough for the eye and lip area. Work with dry hands on dry skin, gently massage over closed eyelids and lashes, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Waterproof mascara also dissolves easily.
What is the difference between Purity Solution and the other Cosmedix cleansers?
Purity Solution is an oil cleanser and the first step in a double cleanse — designed to dissolve makeup, SPF, and sebum. Purity Clean, Benefit Clean, Clarify, and Crystal Cleanse are water-based cleansers that work as the second step or as a single cleanser, each tailored to a specific skin need.
