Grown Alchemist Detox Eye Make-Up Remover
Works for
CleansingLecithin, Glyceryl caprylate + 1 moreCleanses gently
“Grown Alchemist Detox Eye Make-Up Remover is a highly effective 100% natural, dual-activated formulation that dissolves and removes waterproof mascara and make-up without causing dryness while detoxing and noticeably protecting sensitive facial skin around the eyes from premature aging.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, lecithin, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
