BOULDER, Colo. - Marylandian -- Caraline Skincare, a Colorado-based brand known for its clean, minimalist formulations and commitment to sustainable beauty, is proud to announce that its Gentle Glow Cleansing Oil has been named a finalist for Best Face Cleanser in the 2026 CertClean Clean Beauty Awards. Celebrating excellence in safer skincare, the CertClean Clean Beauty Awards recognize top-performing products formulated without harmful ingredients, making this nomination a meaningful achievement for independent clean beauty brands worldwide.​

Crafted for skin 45+ yet formulated for all skin types, Gentle Glow Cleansing Oil is an oil-based cleanser that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and buildup without stripping the skin's natural oils. Made with a blend of organic sweet almond, camellia, papaya, pumpkin, and sunflower oils, plus olive squalane and vitamin E, it gently lifts away impurities while leaving skin feeling soft, comfortable, and clean — especially ideal for dry or sensitive skin in high and dry climates like Colorado.​

Camellia seed oil helps maintain skin's natural moisture balance, while papaya extract gently exfoliates for a brighter, more even-looking tone. Pumpkin seed oil, sunflower oil, and olive-derived squalane soften and condition so skin feels clean, not stripped.

Using the principle of "like dissolves like," the cleanser breaks down excess sebum, long-wear makeup, and sunscreen without disrupting the skin's natural balance. It is vegan, plant-based, and free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, gluten, soy, and drying alcohol, aligning with Caraline Skincare's commitment to clean, conscious formulations for dry and mature skin.

"We created Gentle Glow to prove that cleansing can be both deeply effective and deeply nurturing," said Laura Coblentz, Founder and CEO of Caraline Skincare. "To be recognized by CertClean among so many outstanding brands reaffirms our belief that clean beauty should never compromise on performance."​

Now in its 8th year, the CertClean Clean Beauty Awards celebrate innovation and integrity in the global clean beauty industry, with products evaluated by a large panel of beauty experts and influencers across North America and beyond. Winners will be announced this spring.
