- Q
Can it remove mineral sunscreen? Or any water proof sunscreen? If so, is there any specific way to apply?
- Asked by R
- Official Answer By Philosophy - Brand EngageThank you for your question! Our Purity Made Simple can remove mineral and waterproof sunscreen, but for stubborn, water-resistant formulas, a double cleanse is highly recommended to ensure all residue is gone. To use this cleanser, you will want to apply a generous amount of Purity Made Simple to damp skin, massaging thoroughly for 60 seconds. Then, you will need to rinse thoroughly with warm water. We hope this information helps. Wishing you a beautiful day!Was this answer helpful to you
