Chosen by Sugarpuffish - 28 Natural & Organic Facial Cleansers
The idea of this article is to re-cap on four years of products testing, a daunting task when it comes to cleansers as I did not realise how many I have reviewed. Of course I have my favourites and have repeat purchased a number over the years. If you follow my YouTube channel you'll know which ones these are. Which type of cleanser I enjoy really all depends on my mood, time of year and how my skin is behaving.
My favourite has to be Handmade Naturals Cleansing Oil, closely followed by Blue Labelle Cleansing Oil for Dry & Sensitive Skin, I have lost count of how many time I have bought these two. The Balm Balm Coconut Cleanser is a winner for simplicity and price. Also check out Natural Wisdom Oil Gel Cleanser, The Earth Works (TEWC) fragrance free oil cleanser and Gerlinde Naturals.
Balm Cleansers
Would it be bad if I said I am not sure I have a holy grail balm cleanser. For me they are all fantastic and I can never decide between them. Top of my list is probably my recent rediscovery of Evolve Gentle Cleansing Melt. I think Lulu & Boo and Suti have sentimental value to me because they are two of my earliest reviews. The Beauty Balm from Lyonsleaf is a great multi purpose product and since I was the first to bring this brand to the green community I am proud to see how much they have grown. The Rose Tree Carrot & Mango Cleansing balm is another firm favourite. If you like raw ingredient skincare then Gaia Creams is the brand for you. Other balms to look at include Circaroma, LJ's Natural Solutions, Inlight and Kris D'Amour. Sadly, I think 100% Organics are no longer in business.
Cream Cleansers
Out of all the cream cleanser I have tried there are three that I buy often, they are Odylique Creamy Coconut Cleanser, Antipodes Grace and Pai Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser. Other reviews lurking in the archives are Green People Sensitive Cleanser, Trilogy Very Gentle Cleansing Cream, Sukin Sensitive Cleansing Lotion, Antipodes Hallelujah Cleanser, Nourish Relax Cleanser, Natural Being Manuka Creamy Cleanser and Green Keratin Rejuvenating Facial Cleanser
Face Wash
As my skin type is dry and eczema prone I do not opt to use facial washes but I do have a review for Conscious Skincare Gentle Face Wash. If you like using washes then make sure it is free from sulphates (SLS/SLES) to insure it doesn't strip your skin of moisture.
