Oil-Based Makeup Remover Recipe

Oil-Based Makeup Remover Recipe using Technical Oil and Wheat Germ Oil

Oil Makeup Remover Recipe (100g Batch)

Ingredients:

Technical Oil (cosmetic grade) – 70g

Wheat Germ Oil – 20g

Polysorbate 80 (helps it rinse off easier) – 8g

Vitamin E – 1g

Fragrance or essential oil (optional) – 1g

Method:

Sanitize all equipment and containers.

Add the Technical Oil and Wheat Germ Oil into a clean beaker.

Add Polysorbate 80 and mix well.

Add Vitamin E and optional fragrance.

Stir until uniform.

Pour into a pump bottle or flip-top bottle.

How to Use:

Apply to dry skin with dry hands.

Massage over makeup.

Add a little water to emulsify (turn milky).

Wipe away or rinse off.

Why this works:

Technical Oil dissolves waterproof makeup effectively.

Wheat Germ Oil adds nourishment and softness.

Polysorbate 80 improves rinse-off and reduces greasy feel.

Vitamin E helps slow oxidation of the oils.

Notes:

Because this recipe is anhydrous (contains no water), a preservative is generally not required.

Wheat Germ Oil has a shorter shelf life, so keep away from heat and sunlight.

Avoid making claims like “treats acne” or “heals skin.”

For a lighter, less oily remover, I can also give you a bi-phase (oil + water) version.
