You truly do not need all those oils, you really don’t.
I use a simple olive oil, mix it with some organic castile soap and tada. Or I change to grapeseed oil for summer, and my favorite is rice bran oil. If you have a simple cleanser, (I prefer non foaming, less drying,) that doesn’t have a great deal of chemical ingredients you can mix your oil with that, and it is easy to rinse.
I say find one oil you like, and then every couple months, change it. I’ve been doing it since my late 20’s, and I am now 48. Great stuff, and sometimes depending on my mood, I don’t moisturize afterwards.

If you want to go a bit further, then buy the Stridex pads for afterwards, I use .05% just to completely exfoliate/tone. Or use plain baking soda or brown sugar, or plain sugar (organic if at all possible) mix with your oil or without it, it’s great for a gentle exfolaition and rinses off very well.

If you really want a great oil cleanser that rinses well, then buy saponified olive oil. This oil is mixed with water and rinses off great. You can normally purchase it already made for around 6-7 bucks for 8 oz. I love it, and I normally purchase it, and put a bit of tea tree oil, or rosemary extract in it. Research and learn, it’s great!

[...] There are a multitude of such products in the market these days, but the popular ones are still of Japanese origin. Surprisingly though, I haven’t tried many. The last one I used was my own DIY makeup cleansing oil. [...]

I remember that the oils were recommended based on skin type so it might be possible to change them according to your needs.

If I’m not wrong, Olive liquid is actually Olive Oil PEG 7Ester (PEG 7 Olivate), that you can get off whoopeekiddies.

For this recipe, do you think I can use other oils instead of apricot kernel and sunflower oil? Lol. Those oils for some reason my skin loves castor and grapeseed oil and I’m too scared to try any other haha!
