If you’re in the market for a new makeup remover, you might be pleased to know that plenty of options are much gentler on both your skin and the environment. Makeup remover wipes are no longer the only easy option, with many new products that can help you quickly and effectively remove your makeup without causing irritation or harm to your skin. There are so many fun options from balms to cloths that only require water! Here are our favourite sustainable makeup removers that we keep reaching for! 

More beauty products than we can count go into landfills yearly, with 11 billion makeup wipes heading to landfills annually. Once there, they take over 100 years to decompose. Now, we can change this as consumers with a few easy swaps that you may find more convenient. 

Some of our favourite products!

The Makeup Eraser 

Let’s start with the makeup eraser, a standout product in the world of sustainable makeup removers. This innovative solution aims to eradicate single-use makeup remover wipes from the planet. With its unique design and functionality, it’s a game-changer! This cloth is machine washable, easy to use, gentle on your skin, and lazy girl-approved. You do not need to add any makeup remover or cleanser to this product; you only need water. 

Reusable Cotton Rounds 

If you are not quite ready to use water and love your current liquid makeup remover, let’s at least ditch the cotton rounds. Makeup eraser offers smaller format cloths for this purpose! Or you can get a pack of reusable cotton rounds almost anywhere! This simple solution can be thrown in the wash with your laundry load.

The Cleansing Balm 

Next, we have the cleansing balm! It is a beautiful solid product that can be applied with your hands, massaged into your face, and emulsified by adding water before you rinse it away. Many brands offer this product, including Youth to the People, Om Skincare, and long-time beauty brands like Clinique and Cerave. You can even find these products as refilleries these days. There truly is one for everyone! 

The Cleansing Oil 

Like the balm, this product is massaged into the skin, emulsified with water, and then rinsed off. Cleansing oils are all the rage, especially for those interested in Korean Beauty products. With countless brands on the market, these cleansing oils are great for your skin. These products are in liquid form and last quite a while. 

Are you ready to make the swap? Remember, you don’t need to purchase anything right away; when your products run out, refer back and try a new alternative!
