What exactly are eco friendly makeup remover products

 

Before going into how to choose ecofriendly and sustainable makeup remover products, it is important to understand what all comprises these products:

• Cleansing oils are designed to break down the particles of the makeup and help remove them. You can massage them into your skin and then you can wash your face with water and your normal facewash. 

• Cleansing creams and lotions are cream based formulations that contain emollients which can help break down the makeup and allow for effective removal. Creams are generally thicker and lotions are more liquid in texture; but both can be gently massaged into the skin and then washed away with water and facewash.  

• Cleansing balms or makeup remover balms are more butter-like and are a better choice for dry skin; these balms will melt with the warmth of your skin and dissolve all the makeup, allowing you to wash all traces of makeup away. 

• Micellar water is an extremely popular way of removing makeup – tiny oil particles called micelles are suspended in this water and these remove makeup and other impurities, without the need for rinsing. 

• Makeup remover wipes are like little towels that are pre-moistened and are suitable for quick removal of makeup. These days you can find towels made with biodegradable material too. 

• A makeup remover pad is a term for reusable pads or cloths which are designed to remove makeup and can be used with micellar water or creams. These can be washed in the washing machine and can be reused multiple times. 

 

All that should NOT be present in your makeup remover products

 

Now that you know what all comprises makeup removal products, you also need to know what should not be part of the products you buy. 

• Fragrances might seem harmless, but they are actually the most common cause for allergic reactions for a lot of people, especially those who have sensitive skin. 

• Many makeup removal products might have alcohol in them, but these can strip the natural oils of the skin away and leave it feeling dull, dry and lifeless. 

• Mineral oils are often used as emollients, but for many people, it can lead to clogged pores, increased acne and other skin issues. 

• Parabens are yet another common chemical ingredient that can be found in makeup removal products; added to increase the shelf life of the products, it is believed that they can lead to hormone imbalance and disruption. 

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are the most commonly used surfactants and these are known to create foam. This is why you will find them in shampoos, facewashes and even detergents. However, they can be harsh on the skin and cause dryness and irritation. 

Your skin will thank you for choosing a sustainable makeup remover 

 

When you make the switch to eco friendly makeup remover products, your skin will genuinely thank you, because you are not using any chemicals or irritants on your skin. There are plenty of benefits of using natural, organic, clean or vegan makeup removal products, including:

• These will have biodegradable ingredients that break down naturally without harming the environment, including plant based oils, which are safer for the skin and the environment. 

• If you look for a sustainable makeup remover cream, it will most probably be cruelty free, which means that it will not have been tested on any animals. You will also be able to find pure vegan and certified organic products, where there are strict measures in place for the guarantee and quality of the ingredients used. 

• With minimalist formulas, the usage of any unnecessary ingredients such as artificial colours, fragrances and harsh chemicals is completely avoided. 

• Items such as reusable makeup remover pads or cloths are made with not only sustainable fabrics and materials, but can also be washed and reused several times, negating the need for single use products.
