Imselene
Imselene is a Korean body-care brand built around olive.

A few extras sit alongside the olive range, including an aroma body oil, a Green Tea Cleansing Cream, and a Quick Hard Straight styling water. Each one ships from Korea as the authentic Imselene product.

Buying guide
Imselene buying guide: olive body lotions, cleansers, and oils
Imselene is a Korean body-care brand, and the collection here is centered on olive. Most of the catalog is olive body lotions, body cleansers, and body essence oils, with sizes running from 400ml up to 1500ml for regular bath and shower use. A handful of other products, including an aroma body oil, a Green Tea Cleansing Cream, and a hair-styling water, sit alongside the olive core. This guide walks through the lines, the formats, and how to put a body routine together.
What Imselene is and what it covers
Imselene is a Korean brand focused on body care rather than facial treatment. The grid makes that obvious: olive lotions, body washes, and body oils dominate, and the sizes are large because these products get used over the whole body. If you want moisturizing bath and shower staples instead of serums or ampoules, this is the part of a routine Imselene is built for. Olive is the through-line that ties most of the range together.
The olive body lotions
The Olive Moisturizing Body Lotion is the anchor of the range and comes in two sizes, a 400g tube and a 1500ml pump bottle for households that go through lotion quickly. There is also a Mild Olive Body Essence Lotion 400ml for a lighter feel. Olive oil is a long-standing emollient that helps soften and condition dry skin, so these lotions are the everyday moisturizing step after a shower.
The olive body cleansers
Imselene's olive body washes cover the cleansing step. The lineup includes the Moisturizing Olive Body Cleanser 1500ml, the Fresh Olive Body Cleanser 750ml, and the Olive Moist Body Cleanser 750g, so you can pick a size and a finish that fit your shower routine. Olive-based cleansers aim to wash without stripping, which leaves skin feeling less tight than a harsh soap. Pair one with the matching lotion for a full olive routine.
The body essence oils
For the richest moisture, Imselene offers body essence oils in a generous 465ml size. The Episodic Olive Body Essence Oil delivers olive's conditioning straight to the skin, and an aroma version, the Episodic Aroma Body Essence Oil, adds a scented option. Body oils suit very dry skin or the colder months, when a lotion alone may not be enough. Smooth one over damp skin after a shower to lock in moisture.
The Green Tea Cleansing Cream
The Green Tea Cleansing Cream 450ml is the one facial cleanser in the lineup, and its 450ml size points at frequent use. Cleansing creams melt away makeup and daily grime, and green tea is a familiar Korean skincare ingredient with a soothing reputation. It sits apart from the olive body range, so treat it as a separate face-cleansing option rather than part of the body routine.
The Quick Hard Straight Water
The Quick Hard Straight Water 240ml is the outlier in the collection, a hair-styling product rather than skincare. A straight water is used to set and hold straightened hair through the day. It has nothing to do with the olive body lines, so it is worth flagging only so you know what it is when you see it in the grid. Buy it on its own if hair styling is what you are after.
Formats: cleanser, lotion, and oil
The olive core covers a complete body routine in three formats. The body cleanser handles washing, the body lotion handles daily moisture, and the body essence oil delivers a heavier treatment for very dry skin. Because all three share the olive base, you can build a matched routine without mixing brands. The lighter Mild Olive Essence Lotion gives you a fourth option when a full lotion feels like too much.
Building an Imselene body routine
Start in the shower with an olive body cleanser, then dry off and apply the Olive Moisturizing Body Lotion while skin is still slightly damp, which helps it absorb. On very dry days or in winter, swap or layer in the Episodic Olive Body Essence Oil for heavier conditioning. The aroma oil is there if you want a scented finish. The green tea cream and the straight water stand outside this routine and are used on their own.
Sizing and value
Imselene sizing runs large because body products cover more skin than facial ones. Lotions come as a 400g tube or a 1500ml bottle, cleansers reach 1500ml, and the essence oils are 465ml. The big pump bottles bring down the cost per use for a product you reach for daily, which makes them the practical pick once you know a line suits you. Start with a smaller size if you want to test the feel first.
Authenticity and Korean sourcing
Every Imselene product in this collection is the genuine item sourced from Korea, not a relabel or a gray-market repack. With body cleansers and lotions you use in volume, knowing the formula is the real thing matters for both feel and skin tolerance. The collection lists more than 40 Imselene products, so you can see the olive lotions, cleansers, and oils and their sizes together before choosing.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Imselene known for?
Imselene is a Korean body-care brand built around olive. The bulk of this collection is olive body lotions, body cleansers, and body essence oils in large bath-and-shower sizes from 400ml to 1500ml. A few products sit outside the olive core, including an aroma body oil, a Green Tea Cleansing Cream for the face, and a Quick Hard Straight styling water for hair.
Why are so many Imselene products olive-based?
Olive oil is the brand's signature ingredient. It is a long-standing emollient that softens and conditions dry skin, which is why Imselene builds its cleansers, lotions, and body oils around it. Using olive across the cleanse-and-moisturize steps lets you keep a single ingredient theme through a whole body routine, so the cleanser and lotion work together rather than fighting each other.
Should I choose the olive body lotion or the body essence oil?
It depends on how dry your skin is. The Olive Moisturizing Body Lotion is the everyday choice for normal to dry skin and absorbs quickly. The Episodic Olive Body Essence Oil 465ml is richer and suits very dry skin or winter, when a lotion alone may not hold enough moisture. Many people use the lotion most of the year and reach for the oil only when skin needs extra conditioning.
How do I use Imselene's olive body products together?
Start in the shower with an olive body cleanser, then towel off and apply the Olive Moisturizing Body Lotion while skin is still slightly damp so it absorbs better. On very dry days, swap in or layer the Episodic Olive Body Essence Oil for heavier conditioning. The aroma oil adds a scented finish if you want one. The green tea face cream and the straight water are used on their own, outside this routine.
Is the Green Tea Cleansing Cream for the face or the body?
The face. The Green Tea Cleansing Cream 450ml is a facial cleanser, not part of the olive body range. Cleansing creams melt away makeup and daily grime, and green tea is a familiar Korean ingredient with a soothing reputation. Use it as your face-cleansing step, separate from the olive cleansers and lotions you use on your body.
What is the Quick Hard Straight Water?
It is a hair-styling product, not skincare. The Quick Hard Straight Water 240ml is used to set and hold straightened hair through the day, so it sits completely apart from Imselene's olive body lines. We list it for completeness; buy it on its own if hair styling is what you need, and stick to the olive cleansers and lotions for body care.
Why are Imselene products sold in such large sizes?
Body products cover far more skin than facial ones, so the sizes run large. Lotions come as a 400g tube or a 1500ml pump bottle, cleansers reach 1500ml, and the essence oils are 465ml. The big bottles lower the cost per use for something you reach for daily, which makes them the value pick once a line suits you. A smaller size is the safer first buy if you want to test the feel.
Are these Imselene products authentic and from Korea?
Yes. Every Imselene item in this collection is the genuine product sourced from Korea, not a relabel or gray-market repack. With cleansers and lotions you use in volume on the whole body, knowing the formula is the real thing matters for feel and skin tolerance. The collection lists more than 40 Imselene products so you can compare the olive lines and their sizes in one place.
