Non-stripping, to gently resurface and smooth skin w/ OMEGA-6 OILS+SOD. Removes sunscreen + makeup.
Microbiome-friendly + essential oil-free, this cleanser effectively removes debris, sunscreen and makeup without stripping the skin of its protective oils.
It reconceptualizes the meaning of deep cleansing. Rather than scrubbing at the surface, which merely dries the skin, it uses Omega-6 rich oils to penetrate to the origin of congestion, deep within the follicle. Utilizing the principle of “oils dissolve oils,” oil-based cleansers are the gentlest and most effective way to clean skin deeply and thoroughly. Low-suds surfactants are capable of effectively removing surface grime, debris and makeup, without robbing the skin of its surface protective oils. It supports proper barrier function by protecting the lipid barrier with antioxidants that inhibit lipid peroxidation, while the pre/ probiotic complex maintains microfloral balance.
This cleanser is free of ingredients that could impede the skin’s ability to maintain its own lipid, essential fatty acid and microbial balances. Biomimetic in design, it contains no essential oils, microcidal preservatives, or ethoxylated compounds.

ABOUT
Marie Veronique is a science-led skincare company grounded in a simple philosophy: tell the truth. They approach skin not as something to correct, but as a dynamic system to support.
Every product is formulated, developed, and tested in their lab using Good Lab Practices, then manufactured in-house under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Their formulations combine essential lipids, microbiome-supportive ingredients, and biomimetic peptides to support skin function from surface to depth, continually refined as science evolves.
Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002 by chemist and inventor Marie Veronique Nadeau, Marie Veronique began with a singular goal: to advance skin health through a deeper understanding of how skin functions. Marie’s ongoing work in research and formulation has shaped the brand into one of the industry’s most respected scientific voices, grounded in curiosity, rigor, and a long view of aging. In 2018, Kristina Holey began collaborating with the brand, joining full-time in 2021 as Director of Skin Health. With a background in science, esthetics, and holistic skin care, she expands their educational foundation and systems-based approach.
