I have never really been one to use eye makeup remover. I usually would just wash my face and slap on moisturizer, then use a tissue + whatever moisturizer was on my face to swipe away the smudges. But, as I am getting older, I really want to be more gentle with the sensitive skin around my eyes, and scrubbing off smudges just is not gentle.
They carry all kinds of essential oils and butters. They also have almond oil. They have a wonderful reputation, so I feel very confident sharing their store with you all!

Potholes and Pantyhose has the breakdown of the cost of this. Let's just say it is super cheap, especially compared to similar products in the store. I am excited to have Almond Oil on hand as I am stumbling upon some great recipes that use it. More to come!
awesome! i love mountain rose herbs...i got all my herbs during my pregnancy from them.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of that company before but now I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteLove the two ingredient make-up remover fix. Love it.
Love this. Put it up on Little House in the Suburbs Blog. Great post!
ReplyDeleteFound you from Little House in the Suburbs - love the post and your site! I was just thinking yesterday that I needed to go to the store to buy more eye makeup remover.
ReplyDeletei like this too! i also have used coconut oil to remove my eye make up.
ReplyDeletesince i have both grapeseed and olive oil in the house i'm curious if this combo would be ok instead of buying almond oil as one more ingredient? or is there something in particular about almond oil that works?
ReplyDeleteI love MRH - they're such a great value. If you go in with a friend, their gallon of coconut oil is a fantastic deal.
ReplyDeleteAfter you wipe off your eye makeup, then what do you do? Wash the rest of your face with a face wash? I tried someone's DIY facewash made with ground oats and although it sounded nice, I kept getting all the oats in the hair around my face. That was enough of that!
@Maura not sure if almond oil is specific to the recipe. If I find anything, I will post it in these comments..
ReplyDelete@Jen-right now I am using a facial scrub called "yes to tomatoes" :) I am running low and eager to try a couple homemade ideas. The oatmeal was one I was going to try, but it doesn't sound to fun after reading your comment!
Very informative article.Olive oil is really a very natural product to remove eye make up because it is totally harm less.
ReplyDeleteThe bottle should be sealed tightly so no acid is coming out.

I made something similar, but I use a combo of argan, camellia, avocado, and sesame oils. My skin loves it, but it is more expensive.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have recently stumbled across your blog! this post was exciting to find since my eyes have been really sensitive lately to the make up removal wipes I use. so I've been thinking of switching to something more natural!
ReplyDeleteI hope it works for you! Let us know..
DeleteSo great to find this simple and healthy recipe! Do you know if it removes "waterproof" mascara? I've used coconut oil and it really doesn't take it off. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not sure. I don't use waterproof, hopefully someone will chime in and let us know if it does!

ReplyDeleteOoo its too great...Love this. This homemade ingredients have no side effects. I must made it.
ReplyDeleteSo many thannnnnnks to you dear.
Just FYI: It doesn't take off waterproof mascara. I have yet to find a DIY eye makeup remover that does... This would be great for regular mascara, though!
ReplyDeleteThis works extremely well. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sting your eyes and it does an amazing job at getting everything off.
It's very gentle on your skin and leaves your eyes feeling clean and soft :)
Thanks so much!!
Great thing about these natural ingredients is that it also helps condition your eye lashes! Added beauty advantage! Again, fabulous!
