Organic makeup isn’t new. It’s barely even niche anymore—you can get it at the drugstore. However, until recently, removing it has been a less than eco-friendly proposition. Yes, we’ve spotted biodegradable makeup wipes at health food stores, but Physicians Formula recently launched four new makeup removal products ($16 each) in their Organic Wear line that you can pick up at Shoppers. (Convenient is good.)

The range, packaged in slick, recyclable aluminum, includes an eye makeup remover liquid and a lotion for face makeup, as well as pads and towelettes–biodegradable, so we no longer have to cringe at sight of our wastebasket. All are formulated with 100 per cent naturally derived ingredients—think organic soy, cucumber and aloe vera–and the standard laundry list of no nasty chemicals, preservatives or synthetic fragrances applies. Now that the average makeup bag boasts eco lipstick, blush and polish, it’s nice to see decidedly less glam workhorse products playing green.
