Most cleansing oils use mineral oil as the primary dissolving agent — petroleum-derived. Silk uses jojoba, almond, argan, and rosehip oils — all with skin-beneficial fatty acid profiles that dissolve makeup while nourishing the skin barrier. AAPI women-of-color owned, Ayurvedic-inspired.
✦ Ingredient Spotlight: Jojoba
Jojoba is a liquid wax ester with a molecular structure almost identical to human sebum. The skin absorbs it readily into the stratum corneum rather than leaving it on the surface. Non-comedogenic, stable for years without rancidity, and requires no preservatives when used as a base.
