THE BODY SHOP Camomile Sumptuous Makeup Cleansing Butter

Solid-to-Oil Cleansing Butter with Camomile Oil, Shea Butter and Vitamin E

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Makeup Cleansing Butter is a solid balm-to-oil cleanser designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and daily build-up in a single step. Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter form the emollient base that binds and lifts long-wear and waterproof makeup, while Anthemis Nobilis (camomile) Flower Oil gives the balm its signature scent profile and Tocopherol (vitamin E) sits in the oil phase as an antioxidant. The butter is used on dry skin and rinsed off with warm water.

Why Choose It?

• Solid balm-to-oil format melts on dry skin to lift makeup, including long-wear and waterproof eye and lip makeup
• Olive, sunflower and shea butter base leaves skin feeling conditioned rather than stripped after rinsing
• PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate as rinse-off emulsifier helps the butter wash away cleanly with warm water
• Tocopherol (vitamin E) provides antioxidant support within the oil phase
• Paraben-free formula suitable for face, eyes and lips, including contact lens wearers

Best For

Skin that needs a single-step balm cleanser to take off everyday makeup, long-wear or waterproof eye and lip makeup, and SPF without a tight after-feel. The oil-and-shea-butter base keeps the wash feeling conditioned rather than stripped, while the rinse-off emulsifier means it suits people who prefer to remove their cleanser fully with warm water rather than wipe it away. The brand positions it as suitable for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers; if skin is highly reactive to fragrance, note that the formula contains declared Linalool and Limonene from the camomile and parfum.

Use in the evening as the first cleansing step to take off makeup and SPF. Follow with a gentle face cleanser for sensitive skin as a second wash if you want to double-cleanse before the rest of the routine.

• Scoop a small amount of the solid butter onto dry fingertips and let it warm against the skin for a moment.
• Massage over dry face, including the eye area and lips, working in slow circles to dissolve makeup, SPF and daily build-up.
• Wet hands with warm water and continue massaging — the balm will turn milky as the rinse-off emulsifier activates.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water, or wipe away with a damp muslin cloth, until no slip remains on skin.
• Pat skin dry and continue with the rest of the evening routine.

Tips

• Apply to fully dry skin and hands — water introduced before the massage step shortens the time the oils have to dissolve long-wear makeup.
• For heavy or waterproof eye makeup, hold the warmed balm against closed lashes for a few seconds before massaging.
• Replace the lid promptly after use to keep the butter texture firm; the formula contains Synthetic Wax which softens at higher ambient temperatures.
