Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

The Neutrogena Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover is the best product ever!  I've used it for so long, I can't remember life without it.  Ever since I started applying mascara, I've used this product.  This eye makeup remover is super effective & gentle.  It doesn't leave oily residue and removes all traces of waterproof mascara.

Directions:  put some on cotton pad and wipe across eye to remove makeup.

Did I say I love this product??  I swear by this and the Neutrogena makeup remover cleansing towelette.  I wish they make this eye makeup remover in travel size so that I can use it when I travel.  But since they don't, I use the second best option, which is the cleansing towelette when I travel.

Think Dirty Rating: 10

I'm in total disbelief that my favorite drugstore product is a whopping 10 in the toxicity rating!  I've been using this product for well over 20 years and am thankful that my eyelids, eyelashes, and under eye area are still intact.  The Carcinogencity rating is off the chart at 10.

Out of all ingredients the main culprit is Benzalkonium Chloride Solution.  It is used as a preservative which makes sense because this remover can last a lifetime.

I'm totally bummed about this rating but since it's on my all time beauty list, I will continue to subject myself to the its toxins.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes

I fell in love with Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes when I was in my early days as a consultant working super long hours and before I knew anything about skin routine.  The cleansing towelettes is easy to use, effective and very portable.  It's great for travels and late night parties =)

Directions: use one towelette to remove all grime and makeup from face.  Can be used in the eye area.  I usually use the back of the towelette to do a second wipe.

This leaves the face super clean yet not oily or dry.  One towelette is enough, even for waterproof eye makeup.

Think Dirty Rating: 9
I was totally shocked when I discovered that this cleansing towelette has a rating of 9 (out of 10 which is the highest).  The Developmental & Reproductive toxicity is off the charts - pretty close to a 10.

Based on the ingredients listing, the biggest culprit is due to Fragrance which received a 9.  The wipe doesn't require fragrance - why have it in there at all?

It's a good I don't use it on my kids and now I really won't whether the wipes I do use on them have similar toxicity rating.
