Remover Essence

Remover essence refers to a class of cosmetic or personal care products designed to eliminate residual makeup, skincare, or other substances from the skin. These products are typically used as a final step in a cleansing routine or to prepare the skin for further treatments.

Material Composition:

The composition of remover essence varies significantly depending on the intended use and target substances. Common ingredients include:

• Oils: Mineral oil, plant-based oils (e.g., olive oil, jojoba oil, almond oil) are effective at dissolving oil-based makeup and impurities.
• Emulsifiers: These help to mix oil and water-based ingredients, allowing for easy rinsing.
• Solvents: Ingredients like isopropyl myristate or caprylic/capric triglyceride can dissolve certain makeup types.
• Humectants: Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or other moisturizing agents help to prevent dryness.
• Botanical Extracts: Some formulations include plant extracts for soothing or antioxidant benefits.
• Surfactants: Mild surfactants aid in lifting impurities from the skin.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of remover essence is thorough cleansing. Specific applications include:

• Makeup Removal: Effectively removing foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara, and other cosmetic products.
• Sunscreen Removal: Eliminating residual sunscreen after sun exposure.
• Deep Cleansing: Removing impurities that may not be fully addressed by regular cleansers.
• Preparing Skin: Facilitating the absorption of skincare products (serums, moisturizers) by removing barriers.

Function:

Remover essence functions by:

• Dissolving: Breaking down the chemical bonds of makeup or impurities, allowing them to be easily lifted from the skin.
• Emulsifying: Combining oil-based and water-based substances for effective rinsing.
• Lifting: Gently removing dissolved impurities from the skin's surface.

Usage Scenarios:

• Evening Routine: Used as the first step in a nighttime skincare routine to remove makeup and impurities accumulated throughout the day.
• Double Cleansing: Employed as the oil-based cleanser in a double cleansing method, followed by a water-based cleanser.
• Sunscreen Removal: Used to ensure complete removal of sunscreen at the end of the day.
• Special Occasions: Used to remove heavy makeup worn for events.

Common Types:

• Oil-Based Removers: Effective for waterproof makeup and sunscreen. May require a second cleanse.
• Micellar Water: Contains micelles that lift impurities without rinsing (though rinsing is often recommended). Suitable for sensitive skin.
• Cream Removers: Provide a moisturizing and gentle cleansing experience.
• Balm Removers: Solid formulations that melt into oils upon application. Effective for heavy makeup.
• Gel Removers: Lightweight formulations suitable for oily skin.
• Biphase Removers: Contain both oil and water phases, offering effective makeup removal.

• 3814001000: Organic composite solvents and thinners, not elsewhere specified or included; prepared paint or varnish removers: Containing 5 percent or more but not more than 25 percent by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances. This code covers prepared paint or varnish removers, which “remover essence” likely falls under, provided the aromatic content is between 5% and 25%.

  • 38: Chemical products; not elsewhere specified or included. This chapter broadly covers chemical products.
  • 14: Organic solvents, not elsewhere specified or included. This heading focuses on organic solvents.
  • 001000: Specifically designates organic composite solvents and thinners, or prepared paint/varnish removers with a defined aromatic content (5-25%).

• 3814002000: Organic composite solvents and thinners, not elsewhere specified or included; prepared paint or varnish removers: Containing more than 25 percent by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances. If the “remover essence” contains over 25% aromatic substances, this HS code is applicable.

  • 38: Chemical products; not elsewhere specified or included.
  • 14: Organic solvents, not elsewhere specified or included.
  • 002000: Indicates organic composite solvents/removers with a higher aromatic content (over 25%).

Tax Information: Both HS codes 3814001000 and 3814002000 share the same tax structure: a base tariff of 6.5%, an additional tariff of 25.0%, and a further tariff of 30.0% effective April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 61.5%.

Important Note: Determining the correct HS code requires accurate knowledge of the “remover essence”’s composition, specifically the percentage of aromatic or modified aromatic substances it contains.
