The trade-off
Farmacy reformulated without PEGs, so its emulsifiers are now polyglyceryl esters and its wax sunflower, with sunflower and moringa oils and four essential oils, while e.l.f. keeps PEG emulsifiers and synthetic wax and adds ceramides, two peptides and hyaluronic acid.
Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm costs about $36 for 100 ml ($10.65 / fl oz). The dupe below is e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm Jumbo at $19 $20, about 47% less per ounce. Each pair is compared on format, finish and key ingredients, including what the dupe doesn't do.
Sorbet-textured balm that melts to an oil on dry skin, lifts waterproof makeup and sunscreen, then turns milky and rinses off. Sunflower and moringa seed oils, papaya extract and ginger root oil, scented with orange, bergamot, lime and ylang-ylang oils. 3.4 fl oz.
