Beautifully lightweight cleansing oil with a spicy, earthy scent / 3.38 oz 

If you’re a May Lindstrom fan (we’ve found that many of you are), you may have heard of this mythical creature called The Pendulum Potion that was in development for some time. Well, it’s here, and it’s everything one would expect from this delectable brand: perfectly balanced, luxuriously smooth, intoxicatingly scented, and beautifully multi-tasking.

In terms of texture, among our offerings it’s most similar to Marie Veronique’s Replenishing Oil Cleanser, but it’s lighter in weight given its base of tamanu and camellia seed oils. It also features a stronger, earthy, spicy, grounding scent thanks to a blend of raw cacao, macadamia seed oil, sweet orange, ylang-ylang, frankincense, and Balsam of Peru (which has a woodsy, spicy, slightly sweet smell to it) — all designed to turn the simple step of cleansing into something you look forward to at the end of each day.

And cleanse it does, since the oil base deftly sweeps away makeup and dirt without leaving skin feeling greasy or not-quite-clean-enough. The key to using this product, we’ve found, is to soak a soft cloth in warm water, let it steam over your face, and then wipe it off. 

But the icing on the (rich, earthy, spicy citrus-scented) cake is that this oil can be slathered on damp skin as a post-shower or -bath body moisturizer, blended into conditioner for added richness, or smoothed through the ends of hair for nourishment and frizz control.
