Safe Swap: Makeup Remover
Ditch & Switch – Makeup Remover
Knowing that whatever we apply to our skin has the ability to seep into our blood stream… think about how careful we should be especially around our eyes – one of our most delicate and exposed organs.
Conventional makeup removers have a slew of toxic ingredients including…
Quanternium-15 — releases formaldehyde into the product
Benzalkonium chloride — a known human toxicant and allergen
Undisclosed fragrance — a slew of up to 3,164 different chemicals
PEG’s — the ethoxylation process here runs a scary risk of contamination with the cancer causing chemical 1,4 dioxane

I absolutely love love love removing my makeup with nourishing organic oils and hot steamy wash rag!
- Organic coconut oil
- Organic sweet almond oil
- Organic castor oil
- Organic jojoba oil
This is an incredibly gentle and effective way to remove your makeup before cleansing your skin.
