Camel Milk Makeup Remover
Makeup, especially waterproof formulas, is oil-soluble, which is why the oil phase (almond oil) does the primary lifting work here, breaking the bond between pigment and skin.

Ingredients
- Phase A (Aqueous Phase)
- ¼ cup (60 mL / 60g) Liquid Camel Milk
- Phase B (Lipid Phase)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL / 28g) Sweet Almond Oil
- Phase C (Surfactant / Cleanser)
- 1 tsp (5 mL / 5g) Unscented Liquid Castile Soap
Method & application
- Measure sweet almond oil, castile soap, and camel milk into a small glass bottle or jar.
- Cap securely and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to form a temporary uniform emulsion.
- APPLICATION
- Shake well before each use.
- Saturate a cotton pad with the fluid.
- Hold cotton pad gently over closed eyes or makeup areas for 10 seconds to loosen cosmetics, then wipe gently away in downward strokes.
- Rinse face with lukewarm water.
Kitchen note
Keep this one in a glass bottle with a tight-fitting flip cap rather than a jar, you'll be shaking it before every single use, and a pour-friendly bottle makes that step far less messy than dipping a cotton pad into an open jar.
