A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
How often should I use the Charcoal Cleanser?
Start with once daily, preferably in the evening, and adjust based on how your skin feels. If your skin begins feeling dry or tight, use it less frequently.
Will the charcoal dry out my skin?
The cleanser is formulated to give you that satisfying deep-clean feeling without leaving skin feeling unnecessarily stripped. Follow with your hydrosol + moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp.
Is it only for oily skin?
It's especially suited to oily, combination + congested skin, but you don't need to have oily skin everywhere to use it. Combination skin can use it as part of an evening cleansing ritual, too.
Why is it black?
That deep black color comes naturally from activated coconut charcoal.
What should I use after cleansing?
Mist your skin with Bulgarian Rose Hydrosol while it's still fresh from cleansing, then follow with your facial oil or OCASA tallow cream to nourish + seal in moisture.
Can it remove makeup?
It helps wash away makeup residue, excess oil + daily buildup. For heavier or waterproof makeup, use your usual makeup remover first, then follow with the Charcoal Cleanser. Avoid the eye area + do not use to remove eye makeup.
Brand Story
Ocasa
After years of working in the natural retail and health‑and‑beauty world, Edina began to reconnect with the land and with the kind of simple, whole‑ingredient care she felt was missing from the industry. In that process, she noticed how few options existed for truly clean, fragrance‑free skincare made from ingredients the body immediately recognizes — especially tallow, an ancestral fat long valued for its nourishing, skin‑supportive qualities.
That gap led her deeper into studying plants, traditional remedies, and the ways people have cared for their skin for generations. Her learning has been shaped by formal herbal studies as well as the long‑held wisdom of communities who have tended reciprocal relationships with plants and the earth. That knowledge became a steady guide as she began experimenting with small batches at home.
What started as simple formulas for herself, then for friends and family, slowly grew into something larger. Today, Edina creates small‑batch tallow skincare with intention and care in her Wyoming studio. Her background in herbalism, skincare, and natural wellness informs every product she makes — from the purity of each ingredient to the slow, hands‑on process behind every jar.
Each product is crafted to nourish the skin, offer a moment of grounding, and bring a bit of nature back into daily rituals.
Desert-adapted skincare. Made for dry skin.
