Our editors have personally tested and researched dozens of face washes and cleansers — these are our top picks for organic, clean, and natural face cleansers at a range of price points.
At the end of the day, nothing feels more relaxing than indulging in a luxurious skincare routine that leaves us feeling soft, clean, and moisturized. But instead of opting for face washes that are full of parabens, phthalates, or fragrances, we can go for a natural face cleanser or organic face wash that provides great results without harmful chemicals and irritants.
We found a few natural and organic face washes that will leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready for whatever comes your way. (Many of them are MADE SAFE Certified, a nonprofit certification that ensures products are nontoxic and safe for all topical uses.) Browse our list to find the best natural face wash or best organic face wash for you: your skin will thank you!
Why consider natural skincare products?
Natural and organic face wash is ideal if you’re looking to boost your skin’s health with fewer artificial ingredients, chemicals, and fragrances. Since many skincare products include harmful chemicals, we prefer brands that formulate face cleansers with clean ingredients, like plant extracts and oils. These ingredients also tend to be less irritating on our faces and richer in absorbable vitamins and nutrients that help support our skin barrier.
Natural skincare brands also prioritize sustainable sourcing for ingredients, which minimizes their impact on the environment through organic farming and eco-friendly packaging. If you’re looking to lessen your exposure to synthetics, opting for clean skincare can expose you to fewer potentially harmful ingredients while helping better our planet!
