Oasis Oil Cleanser
If your skin stings from products that never bothered you before, gets tight and flaky after washing, or feels simultaneously dry AND oily—it's not your cleanser failing you. It's your hormones changing your skin barrier.
During perimenopause, declining estrogen weakens your skin's protective barrier—the shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Traditional foaming cleansers strip what little protective oils you have left, triggering a cycle of dryness, sensitivity, and reactive breakouts.
Oasis Oil Cleanser works WITH your changing skin, not against it.
This nourishing cleansing oil dissolves makeup, SPF, and daily buildup without stripping your fragile moisture barrier. Instead of harsh surfactants that leave skin tight and reactive, Oasis uses botanical oils that mimic your skin's natural sebum—cleansing deeply while simultaneously repairing and strengthening your barrier.
Why Oil Cleansing is Essential During Perimenopause:
Estrogen's Role in Your Skin Barrier:
Estrogen regulates ceramide production (the "mortar" between your skin cells), sebum composition, and water retention. As estrogen declines during perimenopause:
- Your barrier becomes porous and fragile
- Ceramides decrease, creating gaps between cells
- Trans-epidermal water loss increases (hello, sudden dryness!)
- Sebum production changes, often causing combination skin
- Sensitivity skyrockets—products that never bothered you now sting
Why Foaming Cleansers Make It Worse:
Sulfates and harsh surfactants strip your already-depleted natural oils, further compromising your weakened barrier. This triggers your skin to overproduce oil (causing breakouts), while simultaneously becoming dehydrated and flaky. It's the worst of both worlds.
How Oasis Repairs & Protects:
Oil dissolves oil. This gentle formula melts away impurities, makeup, and SPF while delivering barrier-repairing fatty acids, antioxidants, and soothing botanicals. Your skin is cleansed, calmed, and conditioned—not stripped.
The Oasis Difference for Hormone-Changing Skin:
✓ Barrier Repair While You Cleanse: Jojoba and camellia oils deliver ceramide-supporting fatty acids that patch your weakened barrier while removing impurities.
✓ Fights Perimenopause Inflammation: Sea buckthorn (omega-7 powerhouse) and blue tansy calm chronic inflammation triggered by hormonal changes.
✓ Balances Combination Hormone Skin: Regulates oil production without stripping—perfect for skin that's simultaneously dry AND breaking out.
✓ Gentle for Newly-Sensitive Skin: No sulfates, no harsh surfactants, no tight, stinging aftermath. Just soft, comfortable, clean skin.
✓ Deeply Nourishing, Never Greasy: Emulsifies completely with water—rinses clean without residue or that tight, "squeaky clean" feeling that signals barrier damage.
✓ Spa-Like Aromatherapy: Tangerine, ylang ylang, and blue tansy essential oils create a calming ritual during a stressful hormonal transition.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – Antioxidant protection for thinning, fragile skin more vulnerable to environmental damage during perimenopause.
Ylang Ylang Oil – Balances oil production and provides aromatherapeutic stress relief. Calms both your skin and your nervous system during hormonal fluctuations.
Tangerine Peel Oil – Uplifting citrus scent with gentle brightening properties. Revitalizes dull, stressed skin.
What to Expect:
Immediately: Makeup and SPF melt away effortlessly (no tugging on delicate skin). Skin feels soft, calm, and comfortable—never tight or stripped.
Within 1-2 weeks: Sensitivity decreases. Products that used to sting no longer do. Skin feels more resilient and less reactive.
Within 4-6 weeks: Barrier function improves. Dryness, flakiness, and combination oiliness balance out. Skin looks plumper and more radiant. Fine lines soften as hydration improves.
Ongoing benefits: Your skin becomes more stable, less reactive, and better able to handle the hormonal fluctuations of perimenopause. Products absorb better. Your complexion stays balanced.
Perfect for the "Double Cleanse" Method:
Oil cleansing is Step 1 of the double cleanse—the gold standard for removing makeup and SPF without compromising your barrier. Follow with a gentle, pH-balanced second cleanser if desired (though many find Oasis alone is enough for their newly-sensitive skin).
Your skin barrier deserves support during this transition. Oasis is that support.

Perimenopause & Your Barrier
Q: Is this specifically designed for perimenopause/menopause skin?
A: Yes! While anyone can use it, Oasis was formulated specifically for hormone-changing skin that's lost its protective barrier. During perimenopause, declining estrogen weakens the "mortar" between your skin cells (ceramides), making skin porous, reactive, and dry. Traditional foaming cleansers strip what little protective oils you have left, creating a vicious cycle of dryness, sensitivity, and breakouts. Oasis repairs your barrier while cleansing—using oils that mimic your skin's natural sebum to dissolve impurities WITHOUT stripping. It's the gentle reset your fragile barrier desperately needs.
Q: Why does my skin feel tight and stingy after cleansing now?
A: That tight, "squeaky clean" feeling is actually a sign of barrier damage—not cleanliness! Estrogen decline has already weakened your skin's protective barrier. When you use harsh foaming cleansers (sulfates, aggressive surfactants), you're stripping away the remaining protective oils. This triggers your skin to: (1) Overproduce oil (causing breakouts), (2) Become dehydrated and flaky (paradoxically, oily AND dry at the same time), (3) React to products that never bothered you before. Oil cleansing works WITH your skin's natural biology, not against it.
Q: Will oil cleansing make my already-oily perimenopause skin worse?
A: No! This is the most common misconception, and it's exactly backward. Here's what's actually happening: Your skin is overproducing oil BECAUSE harsh cleansers are stripping your barrier. Your skin panics and floods itself with sebum to compensate. Oil dissolves oil—Oasis removes excess sebum and impurities gently, signaling your skin it's safe to stop overproducing. Most customers find their combination/oily hormone skin becomes MORE balanced within 2-4 weeks of switching to oil cleansing.
Q: What makes Oasis different from other oil cleansers?
A: Oasis is formulated specifically for the unique challenges of perimenopause and menopause skin: (1) Barrier repair: Jojoba (closest match to human sebum) and camellia oils deliver ceramide-supporting fatty acids while cleansing, (2) Anti-inflammatory: Sea buckthorn (omega-7 superfood) and blue tansy calm chronic inflammation triggered by hormonal changes, (3) Aromatherapeutic: Tangerine, ylang ylang, and blue tansy create a stress-relief ritual during a chaotic hormonal transition, (4) Emulsifies beautifully: Rinses completely clean—no greasy residue, just soft, comfortable skin.
Q: Can this help with hormonal breakouts?
A: Yes. Hormonal breakouts during perimenopause are often worsened by barrier damage from harsh cleansers. Oasis cleanses deeply (dissolving congestion in pores) WITHOUT stripping your barrier or triggering reactive overproduction of oil. Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic and mimics your skin's natural sebum, while blue tansy calms inflammation. Many customers see fewer hormonal breakouts within 3-4 weeks because their skin is no longer in "panic mode" from being stripped daily.
How to Use
Q: How do I use Oasis Oil Cleanser?
A: The Oil Cleansing Method (Best for Hormone-Changing Skin):
1. Apply 2-3 pumps to dry skin with dry hands (this is key!)
2. Massage gently in circular motions for 60-90 seconds—this is your self-care moment. Focus on congested areas, makeup, SPF.
3. Add a small splash of warm water to emulsify. The oil will turn milky white.
4. Continue massaging for 10-15 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
5. Pat dry with a soft towel. Your skin should feel clean, soft, and comfortable—never tight.
Pro tip: Use a soft microfiber washcloth if you prefer extra assurance everything's removed. No tugging!
Q: When should I use this—morning, evening, or both?
A: Evening (Step 1 of Double Cleanse): Oasis is ESSENTIAL at night to remove SPF, makeup, and the day's buildup. SPF especially requires oil to break down completely.
Morning (Optional): If you wake up oily or used heavy night treatments, a quick oil cleanse can refresh without stripping. Otherwise, a splash of water or a gentle second cleanser is enough.
Double Cleanse: Evening double cleanse = Oasis (Step 1, removes makeup/SPF/oil-soluble buildup) + gentle water-based cleanser (Step 2, removes water-soluble impurities). This is ideal for thorough cleansing without compromising your barrier.
Q: Will it remove waterproof mascara?
A: Absolutely! Oil is the BEST way to remove waterproof makeup without tugging on delicate, thinning perimenopause skin. Gently massage over closed eyes for 10-15 seconds, then rinse. Your lashes (and undereye area) will thank you—no pulling, no irritation.
Q: Do I need to double cleanse, or is Oasis enough?
A: For evening: Double cleansing is ideal (Oasis first, then a gentle water-based cleanser). Oasis removes oil-soluble buildup (makeup, SPF, sebum), and a second cleanser removes water-soluble impurities (sweat, dirt). That said, if your skin is VERY dry and sensitive, Oasis alone may be enough—listen to your skin.
For morning: Oasis alone (or just water) is typically sufficient unless you wake up very oily.
Q: How should I use Oasis with Flawless Brightening Moisturizer or Dream Skin Night Cream?
A: Perfect pairing! Here's the complete perimenopause skincare routine:
EVENING:
1. Oasis Oil Cleanser (remove makeup/SPF, repair barrier)
2. Optional: Gentle second cleanser if double cleansing
3. Serenity Cooling Mist (balance hormones, prep skin)
4. Flawless Brightening Moisturizer (fade dark spots, hydrate)
5. Dream Skin Night Cream (overnight repair for hormone-changing skin)
MORNING:
1. Water rinse or quick Oasis cleanse (if needed)
2. Serenity Cooling Mist
3. Flawless Brightening Moisturizer
4. SPF 30+ (NON-NEGOTIABLE!)
Results & Experience
Q: What should I expect when I first start using Oasis?
A: Immediately: Makeup and SPF melt away effortlessly (no tugging on delicate skin). Skin feels soft, calm, and comfortable—never tight or stripped. You'll notice your skin doesn't react as much to your next products.
Within 1-2 weeks: Sensitivity decreases. That stinging, reactive feeling starts to fade. Skin texture smooths. Flakiness improves.
Within 3-4 weeks: Barrier function strengthens. Your combination skin (dry AND oily) starts to balance out. Hormonal breakouts may decrease. Products absorb better.
Ongoing: Your skin becomes more stable, resilient, and less reactive to hormonal fluctuations. You'll notice you can tolerate actives (retinol, acids) better because your barrier is healthier.
Q: Will my skin feel greasy after using this?
A: No! Oasis emulsifies completely when water is added, turning into a milky texture that rinses away clean. You'll be left with soft, nourished skin—not greasy residue. If your skin feels oily, you may need to rinse more thoroughly or use a second cleanser (double cleanse method).
Q: What does Oasis smell like?
A: Naturally uplifting and calming. Oasis features bright citrus notes from tangerine oil, with subtle floral and herbal undertones from ylang ylang and blue tansy. It's 100% from essential oils (no synthetic fragrance), creating an aromatherapeutic ritual that soothes your nervous system during a stressful hormonal transition. The scent is gentle and dissipates after rinsing—it won't interfere with perfume or other products.
Skin Type & Safety
Q: What skin types is Oasis suitable for?
A: ALL skin types, especially hormone-changing skin. Here's why:
• Dry/Dehydrated: Repairs barrier, locks in moisture, stops flakiness
• Oily/Combination: Balances oil production, doesn't trigger overproduction
• Sensitive/Reactive: No sulfates, no stripping, calms inflammation
• Mature/Perimenopause: Supports weakened barrier, gentle on thinning skin
• Acne-Prone: Dissolves congestion without triggering breakouts (jojoba is non-comedogenic)
Q: I have very sensitive perimenopause skin. Will the essential oils irritate me?
A: The essential oils in Oasis are at safe, therapeutic concentrations and are known for their soothing properties (especially blue tansy, which is anti-inflammatory). However, if you have known sensitivities to citrus or floral oils, do a patch test first (inner arm, 24 hours). The formula is sulfate-free and much gentler than traditional cleansers.
Q: Can I use this if I have rosacea?
A: Many customers with rosacea find oil cleansing MUCH gentler than foaming cleansers. The anti-inflammatory oils (sea buckthorn, blue tansy) can help calm redness. However, rosacea is highly individual—if you're concerned, patch test first and introduce slowly.
Q: Is this pregnancy-safe?
A: While the botanical oils are generally considered safe, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing new essential oil products during pregnancy or nursing, as some individuals prefer to avoid certain oils during this time.
Ingredients & Formula
Q: What makes the oil blend special for hormone-changing skin?
A: Each oil was chosen to address specific perimenopause challenges:
• Jojoba Oil: Closest botanical match to human sebum. Cleanses without stripping, balances oil production disrupted by hormones.
• Camellia Seed Oil: Lightweight, rich in oleic acid (barrier repair) and antioxidants (protects fragile skin).
• Sea Buckthorn Oil: The SUPERFOOD. Rare omega-7 fatty acids support moisture retention and barrier function weakened by estrogen decline. Vitamins A, C, E fight inflammation.
• Blue Tansy Oil: Potent anti-inflammatory. Soothes reactive, hormone-stressed skin.
• Ylang Ylang Oil: Balances oil production and provides aromatherapeutic stress relief.
• Tangerine Peel Oil: Uplifting citrus scent with gentle brightening properties.
• Vitamin E: Antioxidant protection for thinning, vulnerable skin.
Q: Is Oasis vegan and cruelty-free?
A: Yes! 100% plant-based oils, and we never test on animals. Committed to ethical, conscious beauty.
Q: Does this contain any harsh detergents or sulfates?
A: Absolutely not. Oasis is free from sulfates, harsh surfactants, synthetic fragrances, parabens, and drying alcohols. It's pure botanical oils with a gentle emulsifier to help it rinse clean. That's it.
Product Details & Troubleshooting
Q: How long does one bottle last?
A: With daily use (once or twice per day), one bottle typically lasts 1.5-2 months, depending on how much you use per cleanse.
Q: The oil won't emulsify—what am I doing wrong?
A: Make sure you're:
1. Applying to DRY skin with DRY hands (this is crucial!)
2. Adding only a SMALL splash of water at first to emulsify
3. Massaging briefly while it turns milky, THEN rinsing thoroughly
If you add too much water too fast, it won't emulsify properly. Think: splash, massage, THEN rinse.
Q: Can I use this around my eyes?
A: Yes! Oasis is gentle enough for the eye area and excellent for removing eye makeup. Massage gently over closed eyes, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid getting directly IN your eyes.
Q: My skin broke out when I first started using this. What happened?
A: This is uncommon but can happen during the transition from stripping cleansers to oil cleansing. It's called "purging"—your skin is adjusting and clearing out congestion. It typically resolves within 1-2 weeks. To minimize this: (1) Make sure you're rinsing THOROUGHLY (or double cleansing), (2) Ensure you're emulsifying properly with water before rinsing, (3) If breakouts persist beyond 2 weeks, you may need to double cleanse or reduce frequency temporarily.
Q: How should I store Oasis?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The pump bottle protects the oils from oxidation. No refrigeration needed.
Q: What is your return policy?
A: We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee—3x longer than most skincare brands because we know barrier repair and hormonal skin adjustments take time. That gives you a full skin cycle (plus two more) to see real results. Not loving it? Return it for a full refund, no questions asked. We're that confident your barrier will thank you.
