The 7 Best Natural Face Washes of 2019

The undisputed queen of the natural beauty world is Tata Harper. Her products are beloved for being made with completely natural ingredients, yet incredibly effective, and her Regenerating Cleanser is no exception. Quite the multitasker, it cleanses, clarifies, and tones. The Australian pink clay rids skin of impurities and clogged pores, aloe softens, white willow bark works like a natural salicylic acid to fight breakouts, apricot powder buffs away dead skin cells, and grapefruit provides the fresh citrus fragrance. It tackles uneven texture and dullness like a champ.

Natural cleansers can get a bad reputation for not actually cleansing your skin, but this pick from Pacifica Beauty proves that myth wrong. It can wash away even the toughest makeup in one rinse, sans scrubbing or double-cleansing—and without any harsh sulfates that can strip skin, leaving it parched. The formula is infused with sea algae extract to normalize skin's moisture content and remineralize skin to enhance brightness; papaya extract to naturally soften and gently exfoliate; and coconut water to tone, balance, and cleanse.
