A well-supported makeup-removing balm with strong cleansing performance and a comfortable feel, but the fragrance content keeps it from being a clean fit for very sensitive or fragrance-avoidant users.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Sunflower Oil, Tocopherol
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
From Citric Acid, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Sunflower Oil
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Sunflower Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Tocopherol, Citric Acid
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Fragrance, Linalool, Limonene, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Fragrance, Limonene, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Citric Acid
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Citric Acid
Whether it may worsen breakouts — clogging pores, feeling heavy on acne-prone skin, or triggering comedones in some users.
From Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Fragrance, Citric Acid

A rinse-off makeup cleansing butter for face and eyes that uses emollient esters, waxes, shea butter, olive oil, sunflower oil, and chamomile oil to dissolve waterproof makeup quickly. The ingredient list was verified on The Body Shop product page and matches the exact product. The formula looks effective for makeup removal and moisturization, but the added fragrance and fragrance allergens make it less ideal for very reactive or fragrance-avoidant skin.
Summarised from public reviews across the web — subjective experience, not our formula assessment.
User reviews are mostly positive, with repeated praise for strong makeup removal, a soft skin feel, and low eye irritation; a smaller number of comments mention the scent and occasional residue preferences.
