Bi-phase cleanser and make-up remover with cornflower and orange blossom
Mariane
Of all cosmetics, the easiest to make at home is probably the two-phase cleanser/makeup remover. Even your cat could do it! A two-phase cleanser is simply a water phase combined with an oil phase, which essentially means a blend of hydrosol and vegetable oil.

How to use it
Shake before each use to mix the oil and the floral water.
For the face: spray 3 to 4 pumps into your palm, rub your hands together, then massage onto previously dampened facial skin.
For the eyes: spray 2 to 3 pumps onto a dampened makeup remover pad and gently rub the eyes to dislodge makeup, if applicable.
We recommend caring for your makeup remover pads with our linseed oil household soap! You can also periodically soak them in sodium percarbonate to bring back their original whiteness.
