The Gentle Power of Oil Cleansing: Why Castor Oil is Your Skin’s Best Friend

When it comes to cleansing, most of us have been trained to think “squeaky clean” means stripping our skin of every trace of oil. But here’s the truth: harsh foaming cleansers often leave your face tight, dry, and unbalanced—pushing your skin to overproduce oil and leading to breakouts or dullness.

At Linen & Sash, we believe in a gentler, smarter approach: oil cleansing. Our Cleansing Facial Oil is carefully crafted with skin-loving oils, including castor oil—a centuries-old beauty secret that works with your skin’s natural rhythm instead of against it.

Why Castor Oil is a Game-Changer for Cleansing

Castor oil isn’t just another ingredient; it’s the star player in a truly effective oil cleanser. Here’s why:

1. Deep Cleansing Without Stripping

Castor oil has a unique fatty acid profile, rich in ricinoleic acid. This gives it a natural ability to dissolve dirt, makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum while leaving your skin’s protective barrier intact. Unlike harsh cleansers, it pulls out impurities without leaving your skin tight or dehydrated.

2. Balancing Oily & Dry Skin

One of the magic properties of castor oil is its balancing act. For oily skin, it helps remove clogged oils and reduce buildup. For dry skin, it brings back moisture and soothes irritation. The result? Balanced, nourished, happy skin.

3. Naturally Antimicrobial

Castor oil’s cleansing power goes beyond dirt—it has mild antimicrobial properties that help keep pores clear and skin refreshed.

4. Supports Skin Renewal

By gently massaging our cleansing oil into your face, you’re not just removing makeup—you’re boosting circulation and encouraging skin cell turnover. Castor oil helps your complexion look more radiant, supple, and smooth over time.

How to Use Our Cleansing Facial Oil

1. Drop a dropper full of Linen & Sash Cleansing Facial Oil into your hands.
2. Massage onto damp skin in slow, circular motions—enjoy the soothing ritual.
3. Take a warm, damp cloth and gently wipe away the oil, lifting impurities along with it.
4. Follow with your favorite moisturizer if desired (though many find they don’t need one after).
