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.

 

If you prefer something with a little more oomph, or even an oil free option… I highly suggest checking out these LWM approved makeup remover brands. Please note that not every product from these brands are as safe as these specific items:
