Our Story
Taking your makeup off is the one step nobody looks forward to. We thought that was worth fixing.
It always seems to ask something of you.
Rub harder. Use more. Wash twice. And afterwards, stand there with skin that feels tight and stripped.
Somewhere along the way, cleansing stopped being care and became a chore you endure. We started TinClea because we thought that trade-off was avoidable.
The problem with cleansing oils
Most cleansing oils work by flooding your face with oil. Oil dissolves oil, so the makeup comes off — but so does the thin moisture film your skin makes for itself.
Then you emulsify. Then you wash again. And by the third step your face is clean and uncomfortable at the same time.
So we reversed it.
Keep the oil that removes makeup. Lose everything that comes with it.
Our formula uses an oil-in-water nano liquid-crystal encapsulation. Lightweight cleansing esters and argan oil are held suspended inside a water phase, wrapped in a liquid-crystal shell.
What that means in practice: the encapsulated oil seeks out makeup oils and mineral pigments and lifts them away, while your own moisture film stays where it belongs. It goes on like water. It rinses like water. No emulsifying, no second cleanse, no film left behind.
1 mL
cleanses a full face. Conventional removers ask for 10 to 30.
pH 5.5–6.0
where healthy skin already sits, so it never feels stripped.
One step
dry hands, dry face, warm water. Nothing else needed.
Balanced, not stripped.
Healthy skin sits at a slightly acidic pH. Cleansers that push it too far alkaline are exactly why skin feels tight afterwards, and why it often overcompensates with more oil an hour later.
We formulated at pH 5.5–6.0 to stay close to where your skin already is. No parabens, no ethanol, no mineral oil. The fragrance is a natural essential-oil blend — grapefruit peel, white champaca and sambac jasmine, settling into a soft woody accord.
We publish the complete ingredient list, in full, in order. You should be able to read exactly what you're putting on your face before you buy it — not after.
What we test, and what we don't claim.
We commissioned independent third-party laboratory testing on the finished formula, covering oil control, soothing performance and mildness.
What we won't do is dress cosmetic results up as medicine. This is a cleansing fluid. It removes makeup, it helps reduce excess surface oil, and it leaves skin comfortable. That's the promise, and we'd rather keep it than oversell it.
One bottle, one step.
TinClea makes one product, and we'd like it to be the one step you stop dreading.
Gentle on skin. Thorough on makeup.
