Price: (5.1 oz/ 150 mL) $42 CAD
Initial Reaction: The first time I purchased Kopari’s Coconut Cleansing Oil was in a kit sold at Sephora. I think that’s where I was first introduced to my fav lip balm by them & their Rose Toner (also love). I remember initially liking how the cleanser removed all of my makeup (eye makeup & mascara included) but I felt like it left a bit of an oily residue. That’s when I realized that this cleansing oil (most oils really) is best paired with some sort of cloth, aka. Makeup Eraser Cloths. So initially I liked it but it took me some time to fine tune the process.
Usage: The last bottle I purchased was in Dec. 2019 & I still have a ton left. Granted, this year has been the year of makeup free faces & staying home, so I haven’t had to use it as often but I still tend to use it nightly. So we’re going on to 7 months of use. That works out to like $6 a month (not bad at all).
I also like to keep the smaller travel size bottles & refill them with the larger one for things like travelling or even to have a small bottle in the shower.
Skin Concerns: (My skin has improved a lot over the past year so my regular concerns are kind of changing, not mad at it either haha)
– dry skin
– aging/wrinkles/fine lines
– occasional pimple/breakout
– pore size

Results: It really takes every bit of makeup off, it doesn’t sting your eyes like Micellar Waters can & it doesn’t require a bunch of scrubbing or pulling at your gentle eye area. I simply wet my face, put a few squirts of the Kopari Coconut Cleansing Oil into my hand, rub my hands together & then rub/wash all over my face. I gently rub around my eyes & wash my lashes. Sometimes I add a little more water to my face to lather the oil up a bit. Then when I’m done I use warm water on my Makeup Eraser Cloth, gently wring it out, hold the cloth to my face (especially the eye area), and then I give a gentle wipe all over my face making sure I remove the cleansing oil & makeup residue. It’s literally my perfect combo!
Final Thoughts: I love this cleansing oil. I’ve tried other cleansing oils but what makes the Kopari Cleansing oil special is that it’s not hard or solid. I really love that it’s a liquid cleansing oil & you don’t have to work the product into your skin to warm it up. It kind of just does it for you as you’re washing your face.
Will I Re-purchase? Yup, it’s one of my staples now!

Kopari Coconut Cleansing Oil – Vegan Beauty Review – Vegan Makeup Remover
This cleanser sounds really good! And coconut oil is so nourishing to the skin.
It feels so great. I do not miss the drying astringent type cleansers, that’s for sure!
What a cute little cleaning oil! Wish I could find it around where I live though. I haven’t heard of this brand before and would like to try it out.
Oh bummer! I think they’re based out of San Diego but ethically source their coconuts from small family farms in the Philippines. Honestly though, basic coconut oil & a warm wash cloth should do the same trick
I haven’t tried an oil cleanser before. This looks really cool and I love the idea.
Wow this sounds amazing. I recently tried a cleansing oil and I love it. I’ve only ever used soap before now. I haven’t tried Kopari yet though. But I love how the cleansing oils leave my face less dry before bed. I’ve been using Beauty Counters and am enjoying it. I know their whole line isn’t vegan, but it is cruelty free and their cleansing oil is vegan. I’m really into clean beauty and you’ve got me curious with Kopari being free from the usual toxins. I’ll have to check it out!
They’re one of my fav skincare brands. And yes, that’s exactly why I love cleansing oils too, it leaves my already on the dry side skin feeling more nourished after I wash and remove makeup/dirt.
