Desert Essence’s Thoroughly Clean Face Wash

Looking for a facial cleaner that effectively cleans your skin but doesn’t strip it’s natural oils?  Want to fight blemishes but don’t want to deal with dry skin?  Oh, and you want it to be as organic and natural as possible, too?  Well, have I got the answer for you – Desert Essence’s Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with Sea Kelp. 

Desert Essence makes some great products throughout their entire skincare line and the company has made a commitment to using only natural and organic  ingredients to do so.  The Desert Essence Organics line includes products that are 100% vegan, wheat free and gluten free, as well as free of parabens, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, phthalates, artificial colors, silicones, EDTA, glycol and petroleum-based ingredients.  Whew!  That’s a lot of stuff that’s NOT in Desert Essence ingredients so what exactly can possibly be in them?

Desert Essence’s Thoroughly Clean Face Wash is made with castile soap, soothing olive and coconut oils and sea kelp, which is high in minerals and is known to detoxify and firm skin.  One of the standouts of Desert Essence’s skin care line is the company’s use of Tea Tree Oil, found in the Thoroughly Clean Face Wash, which acts as an antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and detoxifier.  With this one ingredient, many of the problems that you might be experiencing with your skin could be positively affected with all natural, organic Tea Tree Oil.

I found that I didn’t even need a full pump of soap to have enough to clean my face, so the bottle lasted a really long time.  I’ve heard this comment from other people, too, so purchasing the Thoroughly Clean Face Wash might be one of the best ways to be able to afford more natural skin care, even though an 8 oz. bottle only costs around $9, which isn’t too bad compared to the cost of some conventional cleaners. 

Desert Essence’s Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with Sea Kelp ranks a number 4 out of 10 (1 being the best, 10 the worst) on the Environmental Working Group’s list of safe cosmetics, a pretty decent score of how this product could potentially impact your health.

Why It’s Better For Your Health:  Desert Essence’s Thoroughly Clean Face Wash doesn’t use mineral oils, which are made from petroleum products, or other potentially harmful and harsh chemicals such as sodium lauryl sulfate or glycol.  This is important because what you put on your skin can be absorbed.  Without the use of harsh chemical ingredients, you might actually find that your skin clears up, especially if your skin care problems are directly related to the harsh ingredients that are being used in your skin care regimen.

Why It’s Better For the Earth:  Desert Essence uses organic tea tree oil, helping support pesticide-free farming practices for this multi-purpose skin care ingredient.  The company also sources other natural and organic ingredients produced sustainably which protects the health of the Earth.
