Is it really fragrance-free when it contains rosemary oil?

Fragrance-free is a statement about added perfume, and it holds here: no Fragrance or Parfum entry sits anywhere on the panel. Rosemary leaf oil is an essential oil, so it brings scent components of its own, and those are what people sensitive to essential oils tend to react to. If that describes you, patch test along the jaw and give it a day before committing.

Does this replace my usual face wash?

Yes, at night. An oil cleanse loosens sunscreen, makeup and sebum, and the emulsion carries most of it off, but a water-based wash is what clears the residue that rinsing alone leaves behind. In the morning many people skip the oil entirely and go straight to the water-based step, since only a night of sweat and overnight product is sitting there.

Will it take off waterproof sunscreen and long-wear makeup?

Mostly, if you give it time. Work it over dry skin for a good thirty seconds before any water touches your face, since water introduced early stops the oil gripping. Very long-wear lip and eye colour may still need a dedicated remover first. Where it struggles, the usual cause is a wet face at the start rather than the oil itself falling short.

Is it gentle enough to use around the eyes?

ANUA lists a completed HET-CAM eye irritation test, which is the animal-free assay brands use for this, and positions the formula to minimise stinging. That is a test result rather than a promise about your eyes. Keep the massage light, avoid dragging at the lash line, and rinse thoroughly. Contact lens wearers are better off taking their lenses out before they start.

Is it vegan or cruelty-free?

We do not badge it either way. Nothing on the panel is named as animal-derived: the botanicals are plant extracts and oils, and the rest are synthetic esters or emulsifiers. But several fatty-acid derivatives here can be sourced from plants or animals, and ANUA itself states neither a vegan nor a cruelty-free position anywhere on its page for this oil. Retailer badges are not brand substantiation.

PRODUCT DETAILS

This is the fragrance-free member of ANUA's heartleaf cleansing oil pair. It goes onto a dry face, loosens sunscreen, makeup and a day of sebum, then turns milky the moment water arrives and rinses off. The carton badges it FOR SENSITIVE SKIN, and most of what makes it mild is what ANUA left out.

Twelve ingredients, and the cleansing is done by the esters at the top: ethylhexyl stearate leads, with cetyl ethylhexanoate, caprylic/capric triglyceride and triethylhexanoin behind it and isododecane keeping the texture thin. Sorbeth-30 tetraoleate and sorbitan sesquioleate are the emulsifiers — they are why water turns the oil into a milk rather than smearing it around. Rosemary leaf oil, sunflower seed oil, tocopherol and heartleaf extract are all present in small amounts.

Set beside the original 200ml oil, the gap is wide. That one runs to twenty-two ingredients, carries added fragrance sixth on its list, and layers in macadamia, olive, jojoba and grape seed oils plus a neem trio. This version shares only six of those, drops the fragrance altogether, and brings in rosemary leaf oil instead.

Two things worth knowing before you buy. Rosemary leaf oil is an essential oil with scent components of its own, so fragrance-free here means no added perfume rather than no aroma. And this is a first step: follow it with a water-based cleanser, and expect the usual limits on long-wear makeup.

Concerns & Benefits

Your Concerns

1
Sensitive Skin
Built for skin that reacts easily: no added fragrance, no acids, no drying alcohol on the panel.
2
Enlarged Pores
A first cleanse clears the oil sitting in pore openings, so they look less obvious afterwards.

How To Use

1Begin on a dry face with dry hands. Water at this point keeps the oil from gripping sunscreen and makeup.
2Pump two or three times into your palm, then spread it over the face in slow circles around the nose and jaw.
3Dampen your fingertips and keep going. The clear oil goes milky within a few seconds, which is the emulsion doing its job.
4Rinse it away completely under lukewarm water.
5Finish the double cleanse with a water-based wash. ANUA directs morning and evening use. Go gently: pressing harder will not empty a pore any faster.

Frequently asked questions

How is the Mild different from the original oil?

They share only six ingredients out of twenty-eight between them. The original runs to twenty-two entries and lists added fragrance sixth, alongside macadamia, olive, jojoba and grape seed oils and three neem extracts. This one is twelve entries, has no fragrance at all, uses ethylhexyl stearate as its base rather than the palmitate, and adds rosemary leaf oil. Same family, genuinely different formula.
