Before foaming cleansers and surfactants, there was oil. Oil dissolves oil — it lifts what does not belong on the skin while preserving what does. The Première Cleansing Oil is built on this principle: a slow, intentional first cleanse designed to dissolve makeup, mineral sunscreen, excess sebum, and daily buildup without stripping the barrier or disrupting the skin's own ecology.

The formula is plant-based and purposeful. Organic gold jojoba oil mirrors the skin's natural sebum, supporting balance without clogging pores. Traditional camellia oil, long used in Japanese beauty rituals, softens and refines the complexion with a centuries-old track record. Organic açaí fruit oil is rich in Vitamins A, C, and E, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants that support collagen, combat free radicals, and leave skin luminous. Olive-derived squalane creates a lightweight, refining texture that rinses cleanly without residue. Castor oil helps bind and lift impurities. Fractionated coconut oil completes the cleansing base.

Organic calendula CO₂ extract from Petaluma, California — the same botanical Summer Solace uses across their tallow range — adds soothing and skin-repairing properties. ONDA Oil, a 200mg full-spectrum hemp plant extract from Demeter Biodynamic and Certified Organic Oregon farms, contributes beta caryophyllene, cannabinoids, polyphenols, and gallic acid — compounds studied for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-calming properties. Organic white sage from the Southwest brings clarity and anti-inflammatory support. The aromatic profile is grounded and heart-opening: vetiver from Sri Lanka, rose, and Salvia lavandulifolia create what Summer Solace calls a grounding, sensory ritual.

No foam. No emulsifiers. No fillers. Just purposeful plant oils chosen for how they behave on skin. 120mL / 4oz.

2. Massage intentionally onto dry skin — allow the oil to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and buildup.
3. Add a touch of warm water to soften the formula.
4. Remove with a warm, damp cloth.

Skin is left clean, soft, and undisturbed — ready for serum, balm, or face oil.

• For heavy makeup or long-wear sunscreen: repeat for a true double cleanse.
• For a luxurious ritual: use as a facial massage oil before removal.

Care

• Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the cap closed when not in use.

Summer Solace is the original creator of the Slow Body Care Movement®, honoring ancestral practices, whole-animal stewardship, and ecological integrity. Their products are available online, at Nordstrom, and at local Oakland farmers markets.
