What is an oil gel cleanser?
☼ AM + ☾ PM
Our Nectar cleanser blends the gentleness of an oil cleanser with the clean-skin-feel of a gel. It traps dirt and impurities like a gel, transforms into a nourishing, hydrating milk, and leaves the skin feeling bright, bouncy, and hydrated.
Use it as a first cleanse, a second cleanse after an oil-to-milk cleanser, or both.
Your Sana Method
Cleanse
☼ AM — Single Cleanse
Massage 1-2 pumps of our Nectar Cleanser into the skin, using small circular motions. Once evenly distributed across the skin, using wet fingertips to emulsify the gel into a luxurious milk. Then, rinse away and pat dry.
☾ PM — Double Cleanse
Apply to 1-2 pumps to skin, massaging in circular motions to melt away makeup and trap impurities. Then, emulsify the gel into a nourishing milk with wet fingertips and rinse away. Pat dry and repeat.
Or: Remove makeup with our Radiance Regenerative Cleansing Oil and follow with our Nectar cleanser.
Tone
☼ AM + ☾ PM
Sweep a gentle, alcohol-free toner over clean skin to rebalance pH and prep for actives, preferably with gentle exfoliating acids.
Treat — Hydric
☼ AM + ☾ PM
Apply 1-3 drops of our water-based Eden 7% Antioxidant Youth Complex to infuse the hydric layers of the skin with potent, brightening antioxidants and protect against pro-aging environmental stressors.
Treat — Lipidic
☼ AM + ☾ PM
Apply our lipidic serums to seal in moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and infuse the lipidic layers of the skin with nutrition and a synergistic network of antioxidants.

A note from Sophia — honoring your skin intuition
Essential oils are powerfully healing distillations of botanicals. From a research and an experience perspective, I have a deep love and appreciation for essential oils and what they can accomplish for the skin. At the same time, I’ve seen how the tolerance of essential oils can vary widely on an individual level — from person to person and in different phases of life.
Above all, I believe in your relationship with your skin; your ability to tune into your own skin needs. Some seasons your skin might love (and benefit from) essential oils. In other times, you may need an essential oil-free formula.
So, it was really important to me to create essential oil-free formulas that you can reach for when you need them. They can benefit everyone, but especially the most sensitive of skin types or those who are healing a compromised skin barrier.
Alongside Vitale, Nectar is another installment in our essential oil-free series that I’m so excited to offer to the community.
