I talk a lot about natural makeup and skincare, but not a lot about natural makeup remover. Here are a few choices that I found at Drugstore.com:
Beauty Without Cruelty Eye Makeup Remover
$6.89 – 4 ounces
Very easy to use – apply a little to closed eyelid with a cotton ball, wipe off. Simple. It’s made with a gentle botanical formula containing calendula, chamomile, witch hazel, and vegetable glycerin. Completely vegetarian – no animal ingredients, no animal testing.
Jason Pure, Natural & Organic Makeup Remover Pads
$8.59 for 75 pads
Skip the cotton balls, these gentle pads come pre-moistened with makeup remover. They are safe for contact lens wearers and clear away even waterproof makeup. They are made with natural organic ingredients like comfrey, cucumber, aloe, chamomile and vitamin E, B, and C.
Yes To Carrots Eye & Face Makeup Remover
$9.99 for 8.45 ounces
Yes To Carrots – I love that product name, because I love carrots. This full-face makeup remover is with carrot juice, pumpkin, sweet potato, and mud from the Dead Sea.

I, too, bought Jason’s eye makeup remover thinking it was all natural. Come to find out it is the farthest thing from it. Loaded with parabens and lots of other yucky stuff. I think the public needs to be educated on what males products good for you bc there is a lot of greenwashing- especially in cosmetics and Jasons is one of the worst offenders.
I can see why you were bothered by the Jason’s eye makeup remover if you thought it was all natural. I try to include as many all-natural items as I can find, but I’m also sharing products that contain some natural ingredients, organic ingredients, or don’t use any sort of animal testing, like the Jason’s eye makeup remover pads. When I find an item that is paraben-free, I mention that it is paraben-free.
If you only want only products that are paraben-free, then be sure to always read the labels first. Slowly more products are becoming more natural. My mission is to offer a wide variety of product information in an attempt to meet the needs of more people.
If you’d like to share your favorite all-natural brands, please let me know and I’d be happy to share those with the readers. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, Laura. Please continue to do so as I am always open to further educate myself on the subject of natural skincare and makeup. It’s a field that is growing ever more refined and defined.
