Eye makeup removers can be formulated in which forms?

• A. Water-based only
• B. Oil-based only
• C. Water-based or oil-based
• D. Gel-based

Answer: (C)

Eye makeup removers come in two main solvent systems: water-based and oil-based. Water-based formulas use water plus surfactants to lift and rinse away makeup, leaving a light, non-greasy feel and are generally gentle for everyday use. Oil-based formulas rely on oils to dissolve stubborn, waterproof cosmetics like mascara and liners, and they often feel more moisturizing and thorough for heavy makeup; they may require rinsing or emulsify with water to remove. Gel-based products do exist, but they’re not treated as a separate primary form in standard practice—they’re typically variants within the water-based or oil-based categories. So the typical forms you’ll encounter are water-based or oil-based.
