Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm - 200ml Makeup Remover Balm-to-Oil, Melts Waterproof Makeup & SPF, Hydrating

This jar-based cleansing balm starts as a solid balm that melts into a nourishing oil on contact, lifting away makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime without stripping moisture. The formula blends plant-powered botanicals and gentle oils designed to cleanse thoroughly yet feel comforting on the skin. Use it as the first step of a double cleanse to ensure remove of stubborn cosmetics and residue before a water-based wash.

How does this balm remove waterproof makeup?

The balm transforms when massaged onto dry skin, turning into an oil that breaks down pigment and water-resistant formulations. Adding warm water emulsifies the oil into a light, milky rinse that carries grime away, making removal easy without harsh rubbing.

• Melts on contact to dissolve heavy foundation and mascara
• Sunflower oil base helps lift waterproof pigments
• Emulsifies with warm water for a gentle rinse-off
• Safe for eyelids and lash line when used gently

What botanical ingredients help skin feel softer after cleansing?

Green Clean combines a super-greens blend with papaya extract and nourishing oils to cleanse while supporting skin’s surface feel. These botanical extracts provide antioxidant support and gentle enzymatic action to brighten and smooth without over-drying.

• Moringa, holy basil, and arugula for antioxidant support
• Papaya extract helps lift impurities for a smoother texture
• Sunflower oil and other emollients replenish moisture during cleanse
• Freeing skin from residue so follow-up products absorb better

How should I use this balm for best results?

Apply to dry skin and massage in circular motions to dissolve makeup across face and eyes. Add a little warm water to emulsify into a milky texture, then rinse or remove with a damp cloth; follow with your regular cleanser for a thorough double cleanse.

• Massage onto dry face and eye area for 30–60 seconds
• Emulsify with warm water until opaque and milky
• Rinse clean or wipe away with a soft, damp cloth
• Finish with a water-based cleanser if double-cleansing

Will this work on sensitive skin and SPF?

The formulation aims to remove sunscreen and heavy makeup while remaining gentle; it is designed to be kinder than single-use wipes. Because everyone’s skin reacts differently, patch testing is advised if you have highly reactive or allergy-prone skin.

• Formulated to cleanse without aggressive scrubbing
• Suitable for removing daily SPF products and longwear cosmetics
• Patch test recommended for very reactive skin types
• Works well as the first step in a gentle double-cleanse routine

Who is this for? Green Clean is suited for anyone who wears longwear or waterproof makeup, uses daily SPF, or wants a richer, hydrating first cleanse that doesn’t strip the skin. It’s a good option for users seeking botanical support and a balm-to-oil texture that melts makeup away while leaving the face feeling soft—ideal for dry, combination, or makeup-heavy routines.
