A well-supported cleansing oil with strong makeup and sunscreen removal performance, but the aromatic oil blend and camphor make it a better fit for tolerant skin than for very sensitive skin.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Glycerin, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Glycine Soja Oil
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Nigella Sativa Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Salvia Officinalis Oil, Panax Ginseng Leaf/Stem Extract
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Tocopherol, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Panax Ginseng Berry Extract, Glycerin
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Tocopherol, Nigella Sativa Seed Oil, Glycerin, Corylus Avellana Seed Oil
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
From Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Nigella Sativa Seed Oil, Glycerin
Things to watch
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Salvia Officinalis Oil, Camphor, Artemisia Vulgaris Oil, Ocimum Basilicum Oil
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Salvia Officinalis Oil, Artemisia Vulgaris Oil, Ocimum Basilicum Oil, Camphor
Whether it may worsen breakouts — clogging pores, feeling heavy on acne-prone skin, or triggering comedones in some users.
Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

A face cleansing oil from Beauty of Joseon identified through the official product page and ingredient listing. The formula is built around a soybean-oil base with multiple emollient oils and ginseng-derived components, so it should dissolve sunscreen and makeup well while leaving some slip. The main uncertainty is tolerance: the presence of camphor and several essential oils makes it less ideal for very reactive skin, even though the brand positions it as suitable for broad use.
Summarised from public reviews across the web — subjective experience, not our formula assessment.
Users generally report that it removes makeup and sunscreen effectively, feels pleasant to massage, and rinses cleanly, while some mention a noticeable herbal scent and occasional sensitivity to the newer formula.
