Farmacy Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm — Honey Vanilla 100ml, melts waterproof makeup & hydrates

Farmacy Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm in Honey Vanilla is a soft, oil-based balm that melts away waterproof makeup, SPF and impurities while hydrating skin.

This limited-edition Honey Vanilla formula combines buckwheat honey, upcycled vanilla extract, papaya, turmeric and moringa to dissolve longwear foundation, stubborn mascara and sunscreen without stripping. Designed as the first step of a double cleanse, the balm transforms from a solid balm into a silky oil, then into a milky emulsion when mixed with water, rinsing clean while leaving a nourished feel. Clinically shown to remove over 99% of longwear makeup and SPF, it is gentler than wipes and formulated to support skin texture and hydration.

How does this balm remove waterproof makeup and SPF?

The balm uses emollient oils—primarily sunflower oil in this formula—to break down oil-based and water-resistant pigments and sunscreen ingredients. When massaged onto dry skin, the balm solubilizes makeup and melts residues into the oils; adding warm water emulsifies the product so it lifts away without heavy residue.

• Solid-to-oil texture dissolves waterproof mascara and longwear foundation.
• Emulsifies into a milky rinse to remove SPF residues and grime.
• Sunflower oil acts as the primary cleansing emollient for gentle removal.

What skin benefits do honey, papaya and other extracts provide?

Farmacy’s blend includes buckwheat honey and upcycled vanilla to hydrate and soothe, while papaya extract helps lift impurities from pores without harsh exfoliation. Turmeric and moringa offer antioxidant-rich support for a fresher-looking surface immediately after cleansing.

• Buckwheat honey and vanilla help retain moisture and calm skin.
• Papaya extract aids in removing trapped dirt and softening texture.
• Turmeric and moringa contribute purifying, antioxidant support.

How do I use the cleansing balm for best results?

Apply to dry skin and massage to dissolve makeup and sunscreen; then add warm water to turn the balm into a milky emulsion and rinse or wipe away with a damp cloth. Follow with your regular Farmacy cleanser for a complete double-cleanse routine, especially if you wear heavy or longwear makeup.

• Massage onto dry face and eye area for 20–60 seconds to loosen makeup.
• Add warm water to emulsify, then rinse or remove with a damp washcloth.
• Finish with a water-based cleanser for a thorough second cleanse.

Is this product gentle enough for sensitive or dry skin?

The balm is formulated to be gentler than standard makeup wipes and is designed to hydrate rather than strip. Its oil-rich base and moisturizing extracts make it suitable for dry or easily irritated skin, though patch testing is recommended if you have known sensitivities.

• 3x gentler than makeup wipes in clinical comparisons for reduced irritation.
• Hydrating ingredients help preserve natural moisture after cleansing.
• Patch test recommended for those with severe sensitivities or allergies.

Who is this for: This cleansing balm is made for anyone who wears long-wear or waterproof makeup and wants a gentle, hydrating first cleanse—especially people who use daily SPF or seek a soothing, skin-softening finish. It suits dry, combination, or sensitive skin types looking for effective makeup removal without over-drying, and it works well as the first step in a double-cleanse routine for all skin-care enthusiasts.
