Ive had a hard time trying to remove mineral sunscreens until I started using cleansing oils (the kind you apply as an oil and rinse) but they are quite expensive for a product that will go down the drain. I found a diy recipe with 90% of any oil and 10% polysorbate 80 but I dont know if its going to work properly…….My question is have you tried diy cleansing oils or do you know a recipe? Which is the best oil and the best surfactant or emulsifier?
Thank you!!
I have, mainly because I can’t stand how highly fragranced the storebought ones are. I tried a few different recipes – the type of carrier oil you use makes a difference. I couldn’t really find a mix that I personally liked, and all of the experimenting was getting expensive. Everything seemed too drying, or didn’t rinse cleanly enough, etc. I could never seem to get the balance just right.
Ultimately I settled on store bought: Earth Science A-D-E Creamy Fruit Oil Cleanser — which I love.You can find a ton of information on carrier oils and what they do for you at reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction
Note: there is going to be a lot of information on the oil cleansing method (which involves steaming with a hot towel, etc) and way less info regarding rinse-off oil cleansers. Most people seem to swear by the OCM, which I think takes way too much time for a daily routine!
