Very gentle on my skin. It cleans well without making my face feel tight or dry.
Age of Grace Cleanser
$49.50
The name says everything. Age of Grace. Not age of fighting. Not age of correcting. Age of grace.
This non-foaming, oil-based cream cleanser was made for skin that has earned its softness. Safflower oil — naturally rich in linoleic acid — dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and the day while actively supporting the moisture barrier beneath rather than
stripping it away. Geranium essential oil, the beating heart of this formula, is one of the most revered balancing botanicals in aromatherapy tradition — it harmonizes reactive, uneven, and stressed skin while its soft floral-green scent is the kind that slows your breathing without you even trying. Cocoa extract brings antioxidant protection. Aloe soothes. Rice bran wax seals in the softness. And when you rinse, your skin doesn't feel cleaned — it feels restored.
For normal, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. Especially for anyone who has spent too long being told their skin is a problem to be solved.
Safflower Oil — Naturally rich in linoleic acid, safflower oil gently loosens impurities and daily buildup without stripping the skin's natural oils. It supports a clearer-looking complexion while keeping the barrier intact.
Geranium Essential Oil — At the heart of this formula, geranium is prized for its remarkable balancing properties. It helps skin that feels reactive, uneven, or out of sync appear calmer, more harmonious, and refreshed.
Cocoa Extract — A rich source of antioxidants, cocoa extract softens and conditions the skin while providing protective support against daily environmental stressors.
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice — Lightweight yet deeply soothing, aloe vera delivers a calm wave of hydration while reducing the appearance of irritation and redness after cleansing.
Rice Bran Wax — A natural emollient that helps the formula glide smoothly across the skin, sealing in softness and leaving a subtle, healthy-looking glow without heaviness.
Glycerin — A plant-derived humectant that draws moisture into the skin and holds it there, ensuring skin stays comfortable and plump long after cleansing.
Full Ingredient List: Purified water, carthamus tinctorius (hi-oleic safflower) seed oil, glyceryl stearate se (vegetable derived), decyl glucoside, sodium lauroyl lactylate (vegetal), hydroxyethylcellulose, pelargonium graveolens (geranium) oil, pentylene glycol (eco-certified, sugar cane derived), oryza sativa (rice) bran wax, glycerin (vegetal), theobroma cacao (cocoa) extract, aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, benzyl alcohol (naturally derived), potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and citric acid.
its soft, floral-green aroma is as calming to the senses as it is to the skin.
Begin on dry skin — this is important. Apply a dime-sized amount (roughly 2–3 pumps) to dry fingertips and massage slowly across the face, allowing the oils to melt into the skin and dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup.
Add a small amount of warm water to emulsify — the formula will transform from oil to a soft, milky texture. Continue massaging, then rinse thoroughly.
For best results, double cleanse — the first application dissolves surface impurities, the second truly cleanses. Use morning and evening.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within 12 months of opening.
In nearly 30 years of treating skin, the clients who've walked into the studio with tight, reactive, "difficult" skin that was actually just stripped — I stopped counting long ago. We've been taught to associate that squeaky-clean feeling with cleanliness. But that feeling is the sound of your skin's protective barrier being taken from it. Every time a foaming cleanser strips your lipid layer, your skin goes into compensation mode — overproducing oil, becoming more reactive, more sensitized, more confused about what it is. The cycle continues until someone finally tells you: that is not your skin. That is your cleanser.
Oil cleansing is not a trend. It's ancient. Cultures across the world have used plant oils to cleanse skin for thousands of years — long before the modern cosmetic industry convinced us that
foam meant clean. Your skin recognizes plant oils because they speak the same molecular language as your own lipid barrier. They dissolve what doesn't belong without disturbing what does.
Give yourself two weeks with Age of Grace. What comes after is skin that remembers what balance actually
feels like.
This is where the practice begins. Everything works better from here.
