[MANYO FACTORY] Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil 200ml

Manyo Factory's Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil is a cult-favorite, non-stripping first-step cleanser renowned for dissolving waterproof makeup and deeply clearing pores without irritation.

What It Is

This cleansing oil is a cornerstone of the Korean double cleansing method, specifically formulated to tackle oil-based impurities. It effectively removes stubborn waterproof makeup, high-SPF sunscreens, excess sebum, and those frustrating blackheads that resist water-based cleansers. Its differentiation lies in its potent yet gentle blend of botanical oils, which work synergistically to cleanse deeply without compromising the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Unlike some traditional oil cleansers that can feel heavy or leave an unpleasant film, Manyo Factory's Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil emulsifies quickly and rinses cleanly, leaving skin feeling fresh and balanced. It positions itself as an essential first step for anyone serious about clear pores and a well-prepped complexion, ensuring subsequent skincare products can penetrate and perform optimally.

Key Ingredients

• Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil: Comprising a significant portion of the formula, this non-comedogenic oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid. It efficiently dissolves oil-based debris, sunscreen, and makeup, while also helping to support the skin's barrier function.
• Squalane: A biomimetic emollient, Squalane is highly compatible with skin's natural lipids. It provides hydration and helps lubricate the skin during cleansing, reducing friction and leaving a soft, supple feel.
• Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil: A light, vitamin E-rich oil that aids in gentle makeup removal and provides antioxidant benefits. It is known for its soothing properties, making the cleansing experience comfortable for all skin types.
• Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil: Another emollient powerhouse, Olive Oil contains beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants like Vitamin E. It assists in softening skin and dissolving impurities, contributing to the oil's effective cleansing action.
• Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: Chemically similar to human sebum, Jojoba Oil is exceptional for deep pore cleansing. It helps to loosen blackheads and excess oil within follicles, preventing congestion without stripping.
• Argania Spinosa Kernel (Argan) Oil: Known for its nourishing fatty acids and antioxidant content, Argan Oil supports skin elasticity and provides conditioning benefits, ensuring skin feels comfortable and not tight after rinsing.

The ingredient philosophy behind this cleansing oil focuses on a harmonious blend of botanical oils that are both effective at dissolving impurities and genuinely beneficial for the skin. It meticulously avoids common irritants such as artificial fragrances, drying alcohols, essential oils, and mineral oil. This thoughtful formulation ensures a gentle yet powerful cleansing experience that respects the skin's delicate pH balance and overall barrier health, making it suitable for even the most sensitive and reactive complexions.

Who It's For

How To Use

1. When in routine: First step of your evening double cleanse, before a water-based cleanser.
2. How much: Dispense 2-3 pumps into completely dry hands.
3. How to apply: Gently massage the oil onto your dry face for at least 60 seconds, paying extra attention to areas with makeup, sunscreen, or visible congestion. Add a small splash of lukewarm water to your face and continue massaging; the oil will emulsify into a milky white texture. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains.
4. What to layer next: Follow immediately with a low pH, water-based foaming or gel cleanser.
5. Frequency: Daily, as part of your PM skincare routine. It is often not needed in the AM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cleansing oil really remove waterproof mascara and eyeliner effectively?

Yes, Manyo Factory Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil is highly effective at breaking down even the most stubborn waterproof makeup, including long-wear mascaras, eyeliners, and lip stains. The concentrated blend of botanical oils works to dissolve the oil-soluble components of these products, allowing for a complete and gentle removal. For eye makeup, gently massage the oil over closed eyes, then emulsify and rinse as usual. You'll find it eliminates the need for a separate eye makeup remover.

Will using an oil cleanser make my oily or acne-prone skin worse, or cause breakouts?

No, this is a common misconception. In fact, "like dissolves like," meaning an oil cleanser is superior for removing excess sebum, blackheads, and oil-based impurities without stripping the skin. Stripping can often lead to increased oil production as the skin tries to compensate. This formula uses non-comedogenic oils that are unlikely to clog pores, and by deeply cleansing, it can actually help improve congestion and reduce breakouts over time, balancing oily and acne-prone complexions.

Is this product suitable for use around the delicate eye area, given its cleansing power?

Yes, it is formulated to be gentle enough for the delicate skin around the eyes. While highly effective at dissolving eye makeup, its blend of nourishing oils ensures it does so without causing undue tugging or irritation. Always cleanse with closed eyes and rinse thoroughly. If you have extremely sensitive eyes, you may want to patch test, but generally, users find it very comfortable and non-irritating for makeup removal around the eyes.

Does this cleansing oil leave an oily or greasy residue on the skin after rinsing?

Absolutely not. Manyo Factory Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil is designed to emulsify beautifully into a milky, lightweight texture when it comes into contact with water. This emulsification process allows the oil and dissolved impurities to be rinsed away completely and cleanly with lukewarm water. It leaves behind no greasy or heavy film, only soft, clean, and comfortable skin that feels thoroughly refreshed and ready for your second cleanse.

Pairs Well With

To truly maximize the benefits of the Manyo Factory Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil, a thoughtfully selected water-based cleanser is your next crucial step in the Korean double cleansing routine. Look for a low pH, gentle formula, such as a hydrating gel cleanser or a mild foaming cleanser, like the Manyo Factory Pure & Deep Cleansing Foam. This follow-up ensures any remaining water-soluble impurities, sweat, or environmental pollutants are removed, leaving your skin perfectly pristine and balanced.

After cleansing, prepare your skin for deeper treatment with a hydrating and barrier-supporting toner, perhaps one featuring ceramides or multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. Finally, lock in moisture and nutrients with a nourishing moisturizer or a deeply repairing ampoule, ensuring your skin remains supple, protected, and radiant throughout the night.
