It makes sense that we'd only want to include good ingredients in our beauty routines — "juiced up" skin care wasn't named one of 2021's biggest skin-care trends for nothing — and a great place to start is with a natural face wash.
Whether you have sensitive skin or if you're just trying to make an effort to be more conscious of your beauty purchases, there are a ton of reasons why a person would want to opt for a natural skin-care product. Luckily if you're in the same boat, there's a multitude of excellent brands that make natural cleansers.
From luxury items in bottles worthy of a shelfie to drugstore picks that won't force you to kick your expensive Starbucks habit, there are options out there for everyone. There are even cleansers available for every skin type, from oily to super dry. We've rounded up the very best natural face washes to take the guesswork out of your shopping trip. Check them out ahead.
