A nutrient-rich cleansing oil that melts away makeup and impurities while supporting the skin’s natural lipid matrix.
$36.00
Removes makeup, sunscreen & buildup
Cleanses without stripping or drying
Supports a balanced, healthy skin barrier
Fresh Start is a gentle, essential oil–free cleansing oil formulated with a biomimetic blend of cold-pressed botanical oils that closely mirror the skin’s natural sebum. Designed to cleanse without disrupting barrier integrity, it uses lipophilic dissolution to bind to and dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and daily buildup while maintaining the skin’s natural balance.
Unlike harsh synthetic surfactant-based cleansers that can leave skin feeling stripped or tight, Fresh Start supports the lipid barrier while delivering nourishing phytonutrients directly to the skin. The result is soft, balanced, comfortably clean skin without residue or dryness.
Dispense 3–4 pumps onto your fingertips. Using your fingertips, massage onto dry skin in small circular motions for 1–2 minutes. Then massage gently with warm water. Rinse thoroughly or remove with a warm cloth. Follow with a gentle second cleanse if desired.

Fresh Start cleansing oil — 12 months
Most C&C products are best used within 1 year for maximum potency & efficacy. Because our products are packaged in violet glass and formulated for stability with natural ingredients, they are designed to maintain their integrity throughout their intended shelf life when stored properly. We recommend using your senses (look, smell, and texture) to assess freshness over time.
Our process
Garden → Lab → Skin
From seed to formulation, each product begins in the garden and is then extracted and crafted in our Lab/Production Space, just steps away from where it’s grown.
