Product Description
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm is an award-winning makeup remover balm and face cleanser in one that instantly melts virtually all makeup, removes impurities and gently cleanses, leaving your skin hydrated and silky smooth. Green Clean does not contain polyethylene microbeads. The formula melts as it is massaged onto skin.
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm has been on my wish list for awhile so when I chanced upon a sale, I purchased it immediately. Definitely no regrets as I loved it so much!
Farmacy's mission is to cultivate conscious beauty where they believe good skin is rooted in healthy ingredients hence they focus on farm-sourced, quality ingredients powered by potent actives to create thoughtful formulas. Their products do not contain parabens, sulfates, SLS and SLES, phthalates, mineral oils, formaldehyde, etc.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm is housed in a 100ml tub, with a pale mint coloured sorbet-like solid in the jar until it makes contact with skin and transforms to a silky oil (then a luxe, milky lather!).
Loved how it smells like vacation! A refreshing blend of lime, bergamot and orange essential oils is exhilarating, revitalizing and a mood booster, after a long day at work.
The enclosed spatula on top of the plastic lid insert makes it easy for me to scoop up the contents for use.
How To Use :
1) Scoop a generous amount with the included spatula and apply to dry skin.
2) Use your fingertips to massage into skin with gentle upward and outward circular motions, focusing on areas that need attention (like eye makeup).
3) Splash with water or wipe off with a warm, damp washcloth.
Tip : To recycle the empty jar, rinse out any remaining product.
Performance and Ingredients
Vegan and cruelty-free, Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm contains Sunflower and Ginger Root oils to effortlessly remove even the boldest eye makeup and long-wear foundation without stripping, drying or leaving any residue. It also includes Papaya Extract which helps to retexture skin and reveal a youthful glow that is never harsh and is safe for all skin types, including dry and delicate skin.
It has also garnered the following awards:

2022 Byrdie’s Annual Eco Awards: Best Cleansing Balm
2023 Marie Claire Skin Care Awards: Sensitive Skin Saviour Cleanser Highly Recommended
I fell in love with this cleansing balm upon first use. It has an uplifting scent and made me look forward to using it every evening.
The sorbet textured balm is soft and emollient without being greasy and turns into oil upon contact with the skin, which later transforms into a milky lather when rinsing off water, leaving my face so clean, soft and supple. It takes additional effort on waterproof mascara - it doesn't budge during normal balm use, so I have to smear the balm on cotton pad and wipe gently on the lashes and rinse several times.

Conclusion
To conclude, Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm has a soft and emollient sorbet textured balm that isn't greasy and turns into oil upon contact with the skin, which later transforms into a milky lather when rinsing off water, leaving my face so clean, soft and supple. It is more suited for minimal makeup days (without waterproof mascara).
