A Medik8 favourite, this silky oil is our ultimate double cleanse hero. Optimised with a blend of replenishing oils plus anti-pollution technology, for a powerful yet nourishing cleansing experience.

HOW IT WORKS

Oils dissolve in oil, so even heavy, oil-based waterproof makeup and sunscreen don’t stand a chance against this thorough cleanser. Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil slips effortlessly into the natural skin barrier, transforming into a nourishing milk that works to draw out any impurities or dirt to the skin’s surface, to be easily rinsed away.
  1. Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil is based on safflower oil and contains an optimised blend of fatty acids with an excess of omega-6 (linoleic acid) to help rebalance the skin for a nourished and healthy-looking complexion.
  2. Moringa seed oil acts as an impurity magnet to draw particles of dirt and pollution to itself so that they can be effortlessly washed off the face, for a purified and detoxified complexion.
  3. Vitamin E works as an antioxidant to neutralise free radicals on the surface of the skin.

KEY BENEFITS

Suitable for all skin types, in particular those looking for optimised removal of heavy makeup, sunscreen and daily impurities.
  • Double Cleanse Hero

    Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil melts seamlessly into skin, transforming upon contact with water into a milky emulsion that rinses the day away for a beautifully supple, soft complexion. The perfect first step of a double cleanse, for heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen removal.

Vitamin E
What It Is

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble, essential nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin E helps support the immune system, cell function, and skin health. It’s an antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of food and toxins in the environment.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that may be effective at reducing UV damage in skin. And when applied topically may help nourish and protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

It can be used underneath moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning [if it’s a vitamin E oil] and is sometimes combined with other antioxidants, such as Vitamin C in Serums.

Best suited for those with dry, very dry, or mature skin.

Avoid using if you have very oily, acne prone skin or those prone to sensitivity.

Benefits

In moisturisers it can:

  • Stop skin from losing moisture.
  • Protect cells from damage.
  • Soften skin.
Beta-Carotene
What It Is

Carotenoids are natural plant pigments that give plants and fruits their colour. Beta-Carotene is a carotenoid found primarily in carrots and provides a yellow to orange-red colour to personal care products. In addition, it is an approved colouring agent for foods. Besides carrots, it naturally occurs in vegetables (sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and squash), fruits (apricots, cantaloupe melon, mango, paw, nectarines, and peaches).

Chemically, carotenoids are tetraterpenoids and constitute a class of labile, easily oxidizable, and oil-soluble compounds consisting of 40-carbon polyunsaturated hydrocarbon molecules. The body converts beta-carotene into Vitamin A using a carotenoid oxygenase enzyme (Beta-carotene 15,15'-dioxygenase), providing effects similar to retinoids. Unfortunately, that enzyme is only active in the intestine and liver, and produced retinal can only reach the skin from the bloodstream.

Beta-carotene is recommended in skincare products where it can be used to condition rough or reddened skin. Because of its Beta-Carotene content, the extract may be added to sun care or tanning preparations. In addition, a European report claims that carotenes appear to exhibit specific properties, which may help screen against the effects of UV radiation and free radicals. With vitamin E and C, it forms the trio of antioxidant vitamins frequently used together for a preventive effect on skin disorders, unhealthy conditions, or even cancer. This ingredient also may be used in baby products, night or day creams, and treatment oils that help maintain the skin's healthy function.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

In cosmetics and personal care products, Beta-carotene is used in the formulation of aftershave lotions, bath products, cleansing products, makeup, hair conditioners, shampoos, skin care products and suntan products. Beta-carotene imparts an orange colour to cosmetics and personal care products.

Benefits

Beta-carotene is commonly implemented into skincare formulations for its ability to protect against UVA-light induced damage. By doing so, products infused with beta carotene can help to reduce levels of oxidative stress and contribute to the overall enhancement of one's skin appearance.
