8 Natural Face Washes Your Skin Will Thank You For

Tata Harper dishes out some of the best natural beauty products we've used, and this cream cleanser is no exception. Ever the multitasker, it cleanses, clarifies, and tones the skin for flawless results.

The formula—made of 100% natural origin ingredients—rids skin of dirt and impurities while unclogging pores, softening the skin, and buffing away dead cells with a gentle exfoliating action. The smell, a fresh citrusy delight, is also to die for.

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 the 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.

Botanicals are the driving force in this cleanser from 100% Pure, including rosemary, burdock, and neem to kill acne-causing bacteria. There's also turmeric, willow bark, and tea tree oil to soothe and reduce inflammation, and parsley, an antifungal and antibacterial that wards off bacteria that trigger acne.

Besides keeping breakouts under control, it moisturizes, plumps, tones, and tightens skin.

If you have dry skin, you want to steer clear of harsh cleansers that can strip vital moisture. Instead, reach for one that is chockfull of hydrating ingredients, like this one which includes cucumber, watercress, coconut oil, and sunflower oil to hydrate and soothe skin. The only things that'll be whisked down the drain are dirt, makeup, and impurities.

It doesn't get any more basic than this cleanser (in the best kind of way). The ingredient list includes organic rosewater, organic vegetable glycerin, and organic tea tree oil—so natural, nourishing, and gentle.

Get your glow on with Ursa Major’s Fantastic Face Wash. Worthy of its name, the cleanser is made from 99.5% natural ingredients and uses natural AHA/BHA fruit acids to exfoliate, making dead skin cells and a dull complexion a thing of the past. Aloe brings the hydration, while spearmint and lime deliver a glow. Plus, the fragrance will give you the a burst of energy in the morning.

Natural and organic are not one and the same. An organic product means the ingredients are organically farmed, whereas natural products boast ingredients of natural origin. This cleanser, in particular, is certified organic and contains no GMO ingredients, parabens, synthetic colors, fragrances, sulfates, or phthalates.

What it does contain is a blend of organic botanicals and essential oils, a plant-based gem that cleanses and brightens the skin while protecting it against environmental damage. That's thanks in large part to the inclusion of antioxidants like vitamin C, white tea, and lemon bioflavonoids.
