Review : Beauty Without Cruelty Eye Makeup Remover

Product Description
BWC Extra Gentle Eye Makeup Remover with an herbal extract and vegetable glycerin gently removes all types of make-up, including water-resistant, completely and easily without irritation.
Leaves no oily residue. Make-up can be re-applied immediately after use. Made with natural ingredients. No animal ingredients. 100% vegan, vegetarian. No synthetic or engineered fragrances. No animal testing.

Being my 1st eye make-up remover of  lesser chemical origins, I am curious on its performance. This is my first product from the brand, which I purchased from iHerb. I use an eye make-up remover everyday to cleanse the concealer remains and eyebrow markings at the end of each work day. Hence I needed something that is gentle enough without much tugging required. And this product met my simple needs effortlessly.

Beauty Without Cruelty (BWC in short) is famed for its cruelty-free products that are superior in performance with exceptional prices. Their color cosmetics are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and are fragrance free and their nail colors are free of toluene, formaldehyde, and pthalates. You can read more about the brand here.

The product which I bought comes in a flip-top cap opening and the fluidity of the contents flows out easily.
On weekends with more eye make-up, this eye make-up remover do remove all my eye make-up, from mascara to eyeliner, and leave my eyes feeling clean and fresh without leaving any oily residue. However, it does sting slightly when it gets into the eyes accidentally.
Note that I don't use waterproof mascara and eyeliner so I won't be able to comment much on that.

However, Q-tip is still needed to remove my blue eyeliner marks from The Make-Up Store. That has always been my pet peeve.
