The makeup removing wet wipes are formulated without phthalates, parabens, sulfates, alcohols, soaps, or dyes and are ophthalmologist-, dermatologist-, and allergy-tested. I had a sex-friend through college and our (not-really-a) relationship seemed like a low-maintenance thing.

I love to wear a bold red lip or an inky winged eyeliner, and this takes either off with ease — even if it is a long-wearing formula. Discontinue use if excessive skin irritation develops or increases and contact a healthcare professional.For example, in case of AHA or BHA exfoliants, the right pH is super-duper important, and pH adjusters like sodium hydroxide are needed. It received the highest score in Lab tests for ability to remove eyeliner in one swipe and number of swipes needed to completely remove makeup.

Sodium hydroxide in itselfis a potent skin irritant, but once it's reacted (as it is usually in skin care products, like exfoliants) it is totallyharmless. Mostly, they smear around whatever makeup, dirt, and dead skin is hanging out on your face, leaving a trail of irritated skin in their wake. In some, that includes formaldehyde-releasing chemicals, solubilizers, surfactants, and emulsifiers. It usually has to be neutralized with a base (such as sodium hydroxide) for the thickening to occur and it creates viscous, clear gels that also feel nice and non-tacky on the skin. A water-loving liquid that'sclearly soluble in aqueous surfactant solutions, can solubilize oils and oil-soluble ingredients and has a nice skin feel.

As the name implies, this wipe is simple and doesn't include artificial colors, perfume, harsh chemicals, or alcohol that can all easily cause irritation.
