What does the product description say?

"Clean Genie Cleansing Butter Makeup Remover"

From product name

WIMJ summary for cleansing

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, peg-5 glyceryl triisostearate) 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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate	HIGH
peg-5 glyceryl triisostearate	HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
caprylic/capric triglyceride
peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate
peg-5 glyceryl triisostearate

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	23% - 34%
ethylhexyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture	5% - 7.4%
peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate Helps water and oil mix together	3.2% - 4.8%
peg-5 glyceryl triisostearate Helps water and oil mix together	3.3% - 4.9%
polyethylene Used to thicken the product's texture	2.7% - 4%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	1.8% - 2.7%
malachite extract A mineral that is claimed to be able to support collagen product in skin, but evidence of effectiveness is missing	1.4% - 2.1%
prunus yedoensis leaf extract	1.1% - 1.6%
prunus lannesiana flower extract	0.9% - 1.3%
prunus serrulata flower extract	0.55% - 1.25%
ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	0.45% - 1.1%
malic acid Helps adjust the product pH	0.35% - 0.8%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.35% - 0.85%
triethoxycaprylylsilane A type of silicone that helps oil and water mix well together. Helps to disperse other ingredients, e.g. pigments, evenly in a formulation	0.15% - 0.7%
aluminum hydroxide Is used to add opaque (non-transparent) appearance to formulations. Can be used to coat other ingredients for even dispersion. This is a different ingredient compared to the ones used in antipersperants (aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate)	0.2% - 0.8%
water Plain old water	0.2% - 0.75%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.7%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.15% - 0.6%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.1% - 0.4%
benzyl benzoate Fragrance with sweet balsamic smell. Help to preserve products and dissolve other ingredients. Could trigger allergic reactions and be irritating	0.1% - 0.4%
citronellol A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.35%
hydroxycitronellal A fragrance. A likely allergen and can be irritating	0.05% - 0.3%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.05% - 0.25%
titanium dioxide Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin	0.1% - 0.4%
blue 1 lake A colorant	0.05% - 0.2%
ci 42090 A colorant (dye)	0.05% - 0.2%
ci 19140 A yellow dye	0.05% - 0.15%
