4. The Conscious Consumer Who Wants Ethical Luxury with Proven Heritage

You invest in high-quality, iconic products from brands with authentic stories, valuing Shu Uemura's legacy and the natural, uplifting yuzu ingredient as much as the product's performance.

5. The Makeup Aficionado Who Wants Effortless, Complete Removal

You wear sophisticated, long-wearing makeup and need a powerful yet gentle solution that dissolves every trace without harsh rubbing, leaving your skin perfectly prepped for treatment.

Calms Stressed Skin Instantly

The Yuzu extract soothes redness and irritation caused by daily life, leaving skin feeling relaxed and comfortable after just one wash.

Dissolves Makeup Without Rubbing

Our oil blend melts away even waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation gently, so you don't have to scrub and pull at delicate skin.

Washes Off Completely, No Residue

It turns into a milky emulsion with water and rinses clean away, so your face never feels greasy or like there's a film left behind.

Stops That Tight, Dry Feeling

Unlike harsh cleansers that strip your skin, this oil cleans while adding moisture, so your face feels soft, not tight, after drying.

Balances Your Skin's Natural Oil

By cleaning pores deeply but gently, it helps your skin manage its own oil production better, leading to fewer breakouts over time.

Protects Your Skin's Healthy Barrier

The nourishing plant oils support your skin's protective outer layer, making it stronger against daily stressors like pollution.

Simplifies Your Nightly Routine

It's a one-step cleanser that removes everything, saving you time and the hassle of using multiple products.

Leaves Skin Prepped for Care

Because it cleanses so thoroughly without irritation, your serums and moisturizers can absorb better and work more effectively.

Gently massage the oil all over your face for 60 seconds, including the eye area, to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and dirt. 3. Wet your hands slightly and continue massaging. You will feel the oil turn into a milky, white emulsion. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all residue is gone. No need for a second cleanser. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Skin feels clean and soft immediately after use. Week 2-3: Noticeably less tightness and redness after washing. Week 4+: Skin looks clearer and feels more balanced, with a healthy, calm appearance.

Founded in Tokyo by makeup artist Shu Uemura, this brand revolutionized cleansing with the first commercial cleansing oil in 1967. The Botanic Yuzu formula was created for modern skin that feels tight and stressed from daily life. Our researchers in Japan chose Yuzu from Kochi for its proven calming effect, blending it with a patented oil blend that turns milky with water. Every batch is made in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity. This gentle yet effective formula has earned a loyal following for its ability to cleanse deeply without irritation, making it a consistent top performer in its category with thousands of verified reviews praising its soothing feel.

The Shu Uemura Botanic Yuzu Cleansing Oil 450ml - Soothing Face Cleanser features a carefully curated blend of botanical oils and emulsifiers designed for effective yet gentle cleansing. Key ingredients include caprylic/capric triglyceride, derived from coconut oil, which serves as a lightweight emollient base to dissolve makeup and impurities without stripping the skin. Ethylhexyl palmitate acts as a skin-conditioning agent, enhancing spreadability and leaving a smooth finish. The inclusion of polyglyceryl-10 oleate functions as a non-ionic surfactant, emulsifying oils to rinse cleanly with water, while polyglyceryl-2 sesquiisostearate further stabilizes the formula. Botanical extracts such as yuzu (Citrus junos) fruit extract provide antioxidant benefits and a refreshing citrus aroma, contributing to a soothing sensory experience. Additionally, tocopherol (vitamin E) offers antioxidant protection against environmental stressors, and fragrance components are carefully balanced for a subtle, uplifting scent. This formulation is free from mineral oil and parabens, making it suitable for sensitive skin types, as it effectively removes impurities while maintaining the skin's natural moisture barrier, resulting in a clean, hydrated, and refreshed complexion.
