We all need to be clean but there’s a steep toll that our skin pays for our hygiene.
Most soaps contain harsh irritants that, over time, help us stay clean by removing the skin from our face.
This can cause flaring in acne prone skin and severe irritation of sensitive skin.
It’s not a great tradeoff and there’s no wonder that people are more and more seeking out natural, kinder alternatives to harsh chemical face washes.
If you want to avoid toxins like paraben and sodium lauryl sulfate then the easiest way to do so is to pick a natural face wash from our picks for the best natural face washes.
They’re all designed to be better for your skin, by keeping the essential oils in place while still removing dead skin cells, and for your wellbeing and there’s something there for everyone and every budget too.
Ranavat Luminous Ceremony Cream Cleanser
This uses Manjistha, an ancient herb used in Ayurveda, to cleanse as it cleans. It’s superbly gentle to your skin and we look forward to every wash with it!
We tried this product on both oily skin and dry skin and it was one of the best natural face cleansers for both.
You can find Ranavat Luminous Ceremony Cream Cleanser on the Ranavat website.
Klur Gentle Matter
No fragrances and SLS free. Instead, Klur concentrates on delivering the things we do want in a cleaning agent for our face.
Green tea, aloe leaf, olive oil and so much more! The soothing aloe vera is great for all skin types and promotes the natural oils of your face. Organic face washes don’t get much better than this and it’s why it’s one of our best natural face cleansers.
You can find Klur Gentle Matter on the Klur website.
Marie Veronique Pure E.O. Free Oil Cleanser
There are no essential oils in this product that really can irritate your skin, instead, we find omega-6 oils that are so kind to your skin, and which make short work of removing makeup.
There’s no excess oil left behind on the skin afterward and it leaves your skin feeling soft and cared for. Dull skin is one of the skin types that can really benefit from adding this natural cleanse to your skincare routine.
You can find Marie Veronique Pure E.O. Free Oil Cleanser at Credo Beauty.
OSEA Ocean Cleanser
All OSEA products include natural ingredients from the sea and this one combines that with some powerful antioxidants to keep your skin healthy and clean.
This gentle cream cleanser works well on congested skin and the organic ingredients are always kind and pleasant.

One of our favorite brands, Ursa Major, returns with this beautifully kind face wash which leaves your face feeling like it’s been hydrated by the gods themselves.

Biossance Squalane + Antioxidant Cleansing Oil
The squalane and oils in this product are all derived from plant species and thus, it’s extra kind to your skin. We found that getting rid of makeup after a busy day was super easy with this product.

One Love Organics Vitamin B Cleansing Oil and Makeup Remover
A lovely, if somewhat pricey, product which can take on even waterproof makeup. Just smear it on and leave it for a few minutes before you wash it off with water. Easy, right?

Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
