Makeup removers are used directly on delicate facial skin and on extra sensitive areas like the eyes and lips, making ingredient quality important. But conventional makeup removers often contain synthetic fragrances, sulfates, petroleum-based oils, and preservatives that can irritate skin and clog pores.
Switching to non-toxic makeup removers made with plant-based oils, organic cotton rounds, and gentle cleansing ingredients means a thorough clean without the chemical residue.
