How it works
The Deep Clean Cleansing Oil is a 160ml cleansing oil, used as the first of two evening cleanses, on dry skin and dry hands, before any water reaches the face. The occlusive it is built around is Mineral Oil, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Isopropyl Myristate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, so the occlusive is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Mineral Oil stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cleansing oil format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cleansing oil A'PIEU sells in Korea, Mineral Oil and all.
Key benefits
- Mineral Oil, the occlusive this cleansing oil is built around
- Isopropyl Myristate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil on the same list, emollients
- PEG-8 on the same list, a humectant
- Mineral Oil named first on the manufacturer list printed on this page
- Sourced for the Korean market, not a US-shelf reformulation of this cleansing oil
How to use
- Use this cleansing oil PM (or AM if wearing sunscreen the night before), as the first cleanser in a double cleanse. Pat or smooth it on rather than rubbing, and give it a moment to settle before layering the next step.
Where does this cleansing oil go in my routine?
As the first of two evening cleanses, on dry skin and dry hands, before any water reaches the face. Nothing goes under it: this cleansing oil is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Mineral Oil and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cleansing oil or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Mineral Oil and all. We match this cleansing oil to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this cleansing oil contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance, Limonene and Linalool. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this cleansing oil is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Mineral Oil?
Isopropyl Myristate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil. The order they are printed in on this cleansing oil's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Mineral Oil sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: PEG-8.
Not on the ingredient list below: essential oils, silicones, parabens, sulfate surfactants and added color.
Full INCI (15): Mineral Oil, PEG-8 Glyceryl Isostearate, Isopropyl Myristate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Carbonated Water, Jojoba Seed Oil, Water, Ethanol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance, Limonene, Linalool

13 of 15 explained
- Mineral Oil occlusive
- Mineral Oil is a purified petroleum-derived oil. Cosmetic grade is one of the most inert ingredients available, which is why it appears in patches, balms and formulas for easily irritated skin.
- Isopropyl Myristate emollient
- Isopropyl Myristate is a light ester emollient that absorbs fast and helps other ingredients penetrate. It is known to be poorly suited to blemish-prone skin at higher levels.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate emollient
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a synthetic ester used as a dry-feeling emollient. It spreads easily, leaves a silky rather than oily finish, and helps disperse pigments and UV filters evenly.
- Sodium Bicarbonate pH adjuster
- Baking soda. In a formula it raises pH, and in a fizzing product it is the half that meets an acid and releases carbon dioxide.
- Jojoba Seed Oil emollient
- Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and its structure is close to human sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, non-greasy finish.
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Ethanol solvent
- Alcohol here means ethanol. It dissolves ingredients water cannot, evaporates fast so a formula sets quickly and does not feel heavy, and thins texture. In quantity it can leave dry or reactive skin feeling tight, which is why many Korean formulas avoid it and some deliberately use it for a fast, weightless finish.
- Phenoxyethanol preservative
- Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used cosmetic preservative outside the paraben family. It keeps a water-containing formula from growing bacteria and mould, and is capped at one percent in most markets, so it always sits low on a list.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
- Limonene fragrance component
- Limonene is the citrus-peel aromatic. It appears here because EU labelling requires 26 fragrance components to be named individually rather than hidden inside "fragrance", and it is one of them.
1 more ingredient explained
- Linalool fragrance component
- Linalool is a floral aromatic found in lavender, bergamot and coriander. It is one of the 26 fragrance components EU labelling requires to be declared by name.
