Learn more about WaterCetyl Ethylhexanoate is an emollient ester. It comes from cetearyl alcohol and 2-ethylhexanoic acid.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.

The way it removes 24 hr stay lipsticks is beautiful. Still not sure if there a safe way to use it for mascara though
This was so good, I used it for a very long time until I found out it was contributing to my fungal acne. Besides that, I never had any other issues and itβs a great, budget friendly, first cleanse for people without fungal acne!π©·
