Oil Dissolution Theory™
Oil Dissolution Theory™
A lipophilic cleanser engineered to dissolve debris without compromising the skin's structural integrity.
Oil Dissolution Theory (ODT) is a non-foaming emulsifying cleanser. Unlike traditional soaps that strip the skin's natural oils, ODT uses anti-inflammatory lipids to dissolve sunscreen and makeup while maintaining the anti-aging work established by your OUMERE products throughout your day.
The Logic of Dissolution
Like Dissolves Like
Hydrophobic debris—like long-wear makeup, sunscreen, and oxidized sebum—cannot be fully removed by water or foaming agents. ODT uses a linoleic-forward oil phase to lift these impurities at the molecular level, clearing the path for your evening serums.
Preserving the Acid Mantle
Traditional foaming cleansers shift the skin's pH to an alkaline state, making it brittle and prone to visible irritation. ODT maintains your skin’s natural equilibrium, ensuring it remains calm and receptive rather than stripped and defensive.
Visible Equilibrium
A clean rinse with no oily film. By emulsifying with water into a light milk, ODT ensures all dissolved debris is washed away, leaving the complexion looking balanced, hydrated, and ready for Part 2 of the internal peptide system.
The Intelligence of Exclusion
NON-FOAMING
We reject surfactants that create foam. Foaming agents strip essential barrier lipids, leading to a look of premature aging and chronic dryness.
NO FRAGRANCE
Scent triggers neurogenic inflammation. We exclude all aromatics to ensure your evening ritual begins in a calm, non-reactive state.
BALANCED LIPIDS
Formulated without heavy waxes or butters. ODT uses anti-inflammatory oils that rinse clean, preventing the visible congestion common in "oil balms."
FACTORY-FREE PURITY
Mass production relies on industrial heat that degrades plant potency. OUMERE is handcrafted to preserve the integrity of our cold-pressed ferments.
