[...] eye make-up remover with the baby version of Doctor Bronner’s soap (the recipe can be found on Frugally Sustainablel). My next “all natural” move was finding some great shampoo at the Boise Co-op that I’ve [...]
Love this! I buy clinique eye make up remover because it's the only one that has ever seemed to work. It's expensive though! I will have to give this a try.
I love this too! I will be making it tomorrow.
Yay! You may also want to check out Crunchy Betty – she rocks! Found you from Simple Organic's link up.
Wonderful! I've been meaning to buy more eye make-up remover. Going to try this first. Thanks for sharing!
What a great way to save big bucks! Thanks

I can't wait to make this! I would be absolutely delighted if you would link it up to Spa{ahhh} Sundaze! (http://www.projectpossessed.com/spaahhh-sundaze/spaahhh-sundaze-116/)
Your newest follower!
What a great idea! Thank you for linking up to {nifty thrifty sunday} last week! I featured you at today's party!

Great recipe! Definitely going to try!

will be trying it, i pay big prices for natural products at whole foods, so this is great!
Thanks for linking up with Simple Organic. This is a great idea– I usually use jojoba oil but I'm always interested new homemade personal care product recipes.
This is perfect! New follower who found you today, can u tell me how long this recipe should keep for?
@Rhiannon I'm so happy you found me:) This recipe should keep for a year.
Wow, thats ages! Thanks heaps, out to buy some of the ingredients!
This recipe looks great! I really want to try this, and while I don’t have the mild baby type of Dr. Bronner’s castile soap, I do have some of the lavender stuff. Would this work as well? Or would it be irritating do you think?
Love this idea! I am wondering if you happen to know whether all the Dr. Bronner’s castille soaps contain aloe vera? Or is it just the baby one? I have ultra sensitive skin and react to aloe on the face.
Oops- asked too soon
It appears there are 2 baby mild varieties, and the basic one doesn’t have aloe. Looking forward to giving this a try!
If you use coconut oil do you melt it first or use as a solid ?
You may have trouble with using coconut oil in this recipe, especially in the winter when it’s colder in the house. It may not stay in a liquid form. You could try it though:)
Does this recipe remove waterproof eye makeup? I can’t seem to find one that does!
Amazing!!! I don’t really like to use traditional eye make-up remover because it is so clingy on my skin that it tends to make my make-up smudge the next day even after washing. Actually I avoid it unless I just can’t scrub off my make-up any other way. But I gave this one a shot because it was so simple (I used apricot kernel oil because I had it). Really my goal was just to build courage in order to try making the facesoap. But I fell in love. I let my sister-in-law try it when she was staying with me after a wedding. She is also in love. She said she’s never used an eye make-up remover that actually removed every trace of make-up quite like yours does. And it’s so cheap! So, hats off Andrea & thanks!
I tried this a few weeks back and I love it!!!!! It takes it all off and is gentle on my eyes. I will never buy eye makeup remover.
It’s truly is such a simple, but super effective recipe! We love it in our house too
I’m so happy you found the recipe useful.
I have these ingredients and am excited to give it a try. Thanks!!!
I use the oil-cleansing method to remove makeup, but it is time-consuming. Very gentle and effective, though. I prefer to wash my face with honey and your eye makeup remover will mesh with that nicely.
I just tried this today but I did not have the baby-mild soap, I only had Dr. Bronners tea tree one. It worked wonderfully! I love that it didn’t sting my eyes and it cleaned all of my mascara off really easily. This recipe is a keeper. Love that it’s just pennies per recipe to make!
