Makeup Melts Away Instantly

Users say it 'dissolves everything in one go'—even waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation rinse off completely without harsh rubbing.

No Tight, Stripped Feeling

Your skin feels 'soft and hydrated' after washing, not tight or squeaky-clean. It cleanses without compromising your skin's moisture barrier.

The Fastest Part of Your Routine

The 'speedy' name is real. The 60-second massage and instant rinse make for a cleanup that's faster than wipes or traditional cleansers.

One-Step Cleanse, No Residue

It emulsifies fully with water, leaving 'no oily film' behind. Many find they don't need a second cleanser, simplifying their routine.

Gentle Enough for Daily Use

Formulated without common irritants, it's a 'no-fuss' daily cleanser that's reliable for sensitive skin, even after a stressful day.

Helps Keep Pores Clear

By thoroughly dissolving oil-based impurities (sebum, sunscreen) every day, it helps prevent them from settling in and clogging pores over time.

Saves Your Skin from Friction

It removes makeup with a gentle glide, eliminating the need for cotton pads and the pulling/tugging that can come with them.

A Stress-Free Ritual

Turning a chore into a quick, effective moment of care. The playful Minions design adds a smile, making your routine feel less like a task.

1. Start with dry hands and a dry face. Pump 1-2 times (about a nickel-sized amount) into your palm. 2. Gently massage the oil over your entire face for 60 seconds, focusing on areas with makeup or sunscreen. It will turn milky as it lifts impurities. 3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. It emulsifies completely with water, leaving no oily residue. No need for a second cleanser, though you can use one if preferred. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: You'll notice makeup and sunscreen melt away instantly with no tugging. Skin feels clean but not tight or dry after rinsing. Week 2-3: With consistent use, skin may feel smoother as gentle daily cleansing helps prevent pore clogging. The 'speedy' routine becomes a reliable, stress-free part of your day. Week 4+: Enjoy the long-term benefit of a consistently clean canvas. This method helps maintain skin balance, potentially reducing the need for harsh exfoliants or double cleansing.

Kose is a 75-year-old Japanese beauty brand founded in Tokyo. They created the Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil to solve a modern problem: the need for a fast, effective cleanse that doesn't strip skin, especially after a long day of makeup, sunscreen, and environmental stress. The formula is built around high-purity, skin-friendly oils like olive oil and jojoba oil, chosen for their ability to dissolve impurities without harsh scrubbing. Every batch is manufactured in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality control. This specific Minions Edition features the same trusted, award-winning formula—consistently ranked as a top-selling cleansing oil in Japan for its gentle yet thorough performance—now with playful, collectible packaging.

The Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil Minions Edition - 230ml by Kose features a carefully formulated blend of ingredients designed for effective yet gentle makeup removal and skin cleansing. The primary cleansing agents include caprylic/capric triglyceride, derived from coconut oil, which acts as an emollient to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture. This is complemented by PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, a surfactant that helps emulsify the oil upon contact with water, allowing it to rinse off cleanly without leaving a greasy residue. Additional ingredients such as isopropyl myristate and isopropyl palmitate serve as lightweight solvents to break down stubborn waterproof makeup, while tocopherol (vitamin E) is included as an antioxidant to protect the skin from environmental stressors and provide anti-aging benefits. The formulation also contains fragrance for a pleasant sensory experience, though it is important to note that this may be a consideration for those with sensitive skin. Overall, these ingredients work synergistically to offer a thorough cleansing experience that maintains skin hydration, promotes a smooth texture, and supports a healthy skin barrier, making it suitable for daily use across various skin types.
