We recommend washing with soap and water or baby wipes to remove face paints. Do not use baby wipes with oils in them to remove the paint, the wipes can push the color into the skin and make it more difficult to wipe the paint off, hence can result in staining the skin.

After removal of face paints, some traces of color or stains might remain for a short period after washing, especially if worn for a longer duration. In case of highly pigmented paints like Cameleon, some staining might stay for little longer than other brands, especially with strong colors like blues and greens.

US FDA generally recommends against using red, yellow, orange or purple face paints near the eyes and or using blue, green or purple face paints near the lips to avoid possible staining issues. On Neon Face Paints, avoid using around eyes and mouth.

Face paints may stain fabrics. Try cleaning stained fabric with a product like Oxyclean, but stains may be permanent.
