This is one of my personal favorites. Olive oil is the long admired beauty ointment and it is the first ingredient in this recipe. Olive oil is nonfragrant emollient oil and an excellent antioxidant. It is full of fatty acids that repair skin barrier. It also acts as solvent that solves and therefore cleanses dirt and makeup.

To enhance the antioxidant power there is also vitamin E content. Vitamin E is the super-potent and skin-friendly antioxidant. It dissolves better in fat or oil than in water which olive oil plays just the part.

Finally there is a splash of rosemary leaf oil which also has antioxidant properties. With large amount the aromatic component can cause irritation or sensitization or toxic reactions on skin but since it is the last ingredient, it should not be of big concern.

There are a couple of preservatives there but it is inevitable to prevent oil spoil. Overall I consider this an effective, nutritious and safe cleanser.
