Soapberry Face Wash

The Russell Organics Soapberry Face Wash is a truly luxurious formulation of botanical oils and extracts that work synergistically to gently cleanse the skin. Soapberry Face Wash is a lightly foaming cleanser that contains gentle, skin-softening surfactants that remove makeup and other debris without drying or causing irritation. Soapberry Face Wash is appropriate for all skin types but especially targeted for sensitive and dry skin types.

So what is Soapberry? Sapindus Mukurossi Fruit Extract, more commonly known as Soapberry, is derived from the fruit of the Sapindus family of trees. The extract is rich in a compound called saponin which has a natural cleansing property. This natural, chemical free extract has been shown to inhibit melanin production, reducing the appearance of age spots and sun damage.

An organic extract of white tea offers the Soapberry Face Wash tremendous antioxidant benefits. Aloe vera is revered for its ability to heal the skin. High in polysaccharides, which help coordinate a number of biological activities, including the synthesis of collagen and connective tissue, it creates a shield over the skin that keeps moisture in and pollutants out. This makes aloe vera an effective topical defense against the damaging effects of our environment. Spirulina platensis algae delivers perceivable firming properties as well as substantive hydration and moisturizing benefits. The effects leave the skin smooth and supple after cleansing.

Soapberry Face Wash is a customer favorite for good reason. It effectively and gently cleanses the skin, has an amazing natural scent, and leaves the skin nourished and healthy.
