When face wipes entered the scene, beauty lovers were ecstatic that experts had found a way to make makeup removing the easiest task ever. However, environmentalists weren't too thrilled about the move. In May 2018, UK released a study stating that 93 per cent of what was blocking their sewers happened to be face wipes. Well, we can't possibly do without them, can we? Well, no. Hence, today we have brought you biodegradable face wipes to do right by you and by the environment!

99.1% natural, hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, Burt's Bees' cleansing cloths include cotton, aloe and rice extract, making them the go-to for anyone with typically reactive skin. These wipes are also bigger than other wipes and also have a better chance at removing makeup.

These wipes are 100% natural and compostable, which is basically nature's way of recycling. These wipes are formulated with a dose of Abyssinian Oil - rich in Omega-9. They also whip off everything from waterproof mascara to heavy-duty foundation.

These are dermatologist-loved face wipes and are formulated at a similar pH to that of tears (stay with us), which means they won't make your eyes stream or your face sting like some other wipes can. They also manage to eradicate all traces of makeup.

The brainchild of Beverly Hills-based skin expert, Dr Harold Lancer, these pre-soaked wipes are individually wrapped to prevent them from drying out and combine aloe vera, vitamin E and cucumber to cleanse, soothe and protect skin. They are perfect to use after a long-haul flight.

Neal's Yard Remedies' wipes are made of biodegradable organic cotton and feature aloe vera to soothe. They are gentle on the skin and best of all? They stay moist in the resealable package, so no need to scrub or drag the skin to get results. They are also free of all the nasties!

Bioderma's famous Sensibio H2O micellar water comes in face wipe form too. These cloths are infused with a super-cleansing micellar solution. They remove makeup gently and quickly with fatty acid esters that leave skin soothed and ready for the next step of your regime.

RMS Beauty's makeup-removing wipes are made from coconut oil and 100 per cent compostable rayon. They come as individually wrapped wipe cloths and hence are great for travel too. They not only remove makeup and impurities but also leave skin smooth and hydrated.

These wipes are formulated especially for the eyes and for eye-makeup. Eyeko's wipes are made from 100 per cent cotton and include a good dose of nourishing olive oil to easily remove even waterproof mascara without drying the skin.
