I was excited to have Pot Holes & Pantyhose link up her DIY Organic Eye Makeup Remover at Anti-Procrastination Tuesday. It is a simple, 2- ingredient, super pure and healthy recipe. I made it myself and I am loving it! Not only does it remove my eye make up beautifully, but it moisturizes the fragile skin around my eyes with wonderful, gentle organic ingredients. I LOVE IT!
I found this little bottle at my local heath food store. Same with the Almond Oil. I have been finding all kinds of fun DIY beauty recipes that I will be trying, so in the future I am planning on using Mountain Rose Herbs as my one stop shop for organic ingredients and containers.
They carry all kinds of essential oils and butters. They also have almond oil. They have a wonderful reputation, so I feel very confident sharing their store with you all!

Homemade Organic Eye Makeup Remover
{recipe makes 3.5 ounces}
4 TBLS Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 TBLS Organic Almond Oil
Using a funnel, pour ingredients into a container of your choice. Use a small amount on a tissue or cotton ball and wipe that makeup away!

Potholes and Pantyhose has the breakdown of the cost of this. Let’s just say it is super cheap, especially compared to similar products in the store. I am excited to have Almond Oil on hand as I am stumbling upon some great recipes that use it. More to come!

June 22, 2014 at 9:30 pmHi Skye! I used to use petroleum jelly too, but found some articles that concerned me. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/21/vaseline-petroleum-jelly_n_4136226.html I now make my own 2 ingredient organic eye makeup remover. I think you would love it…even for water proof eye makeup. https://www.amynewnostalgia.com/homemade-organic-eye-makeup-remover-only-2-ingredients/

May 11, 2013 at 6:39 amThis works extremely well. I love it!
It doesn’t sting your eyes and it does an amazing job at getting everything off.
It’s very gentle on your skin and leaves your eyes feeling clean and soft 🙂
Thanks so much!!

October 21, 2012 at 2:55 amJust FYI: It doesn’t take off waterproof mascara. I have yet to find a DIY eye makeup remover that does… This would be great for regular mascara, though!

August 20, 2012 at 8:20 pmSo great to find this simple and healthy recipe! Do you know if it removes “waterproof” mascara? I’ve used coconut oil and it really doesn’t take it off. Thank you!
Amy Bowman
August 20, 2012 at 11:55 pmWell, I’m not sure. I don’t use waterproof, hopefully someone will chime in and let us know if it does!

August 2, 2012 at 11:03 pmI’m so glad to have recently stumbled across your blog! this post was exciting to find since my eyes have been really sensitive lately to the make up removal wipes I use. so I’ve been thinking of switching to something more natural!
Amy Bowman
August 20, 2012 at 11:55 pmI hope it works for you! Let us know..

August 1, 2012 at 7:24 amI made something similar, but I use a combo of argan, camellia, avocado, and sesame oils. My skin loves it, but it is more expensive.

May 11, 2012 at 7:49 amVery informative article.Olive oil is really a very natural product to remove eye make up because it is totally harm less.
Amy Bowman
May 11, 2012 at 4:02 am@Maura not sure if almond oil is specific to the recipe. If I find anything, I will post it in these comments..
@Jen-right now I am using a facial scrub called “yes to tomatoes” 🙂 I am running low and eager to try a couple homemade ideas. The oatmeal was one I was going to try, but it doesn’t sound to fun after reading your comment!

May 8, 2012 at 3:05 amI love MRH – they’re such a great value. If you go in with a friend, their gallon of coconut oil is a fantastic deal.
After you wipe off your eye makeup, then what do you do? Wash the rest of your face with a face wash? I tried someone’s DIY facewash made with ground oats and although it sounded nice, I kept getting all the oats in the hair around my face. That was enough of that!

May 7, 2012 at 5:22 pmsince i have both grapeseed and olive oil in the house i’m curious if this combo would be ok instead of buying almond oil as one more ingredient? or is there something in particular about almond oil that works?

May 7, 2012 at 2:33 ami like this too! i also have used coconut oil to remove my eye make up.
