Gentle Face Wash

The Gentle Face Wash quite simply is the best skin cleanser on the market. It is formulated for all skin types. This gentle, yet effective cream-cleanser washes away surface dirt without the use of harmful chemicals or detergents that may strip your skin of beneficial nutrients.

Gorgeous skin starts with the daily removal of surface impurities such as make-up, bacteria, environmental pollutants, and excess oil, as well as exfoliating away dead surface cells without disturbing the balance of the complexion.

No watered-down ingredients here. The Gentle Face Wash is rich in botanical ingredients that cleanse and nurture the skin. With a base of Organic Aloe Vera Juice and Organic Rose Water, the Gentle Face Wash soothes and calms irritated skin.

A trio of Kamani Tree Extract, Organic Rose Oil, and Organic Elder Flower Extract are deeply nourishing for the skin.

Organic Linden Flower Extract, Organic Ginseng Extract, and Organic Alexander Laurel Seed Oil soothe and refine the complexion.

We manufacture each Russell Organics product to the highest high ethical standards. We are Certified Cruelty-Free and Certified Vegan as a skin care brand. That means no animal testing, and no animal ingredients. Not even beeswax.

   No. The blend of organic aloe vera, rose water, and sunflower oil cleanses while replenishing moisture, leaving skin soft and supple.
4. Can it remove makeup and sunscreen?
   Yes. Natural surfactants such as sucrose cocoate and coco-glucoside dissolve daily buildup and makeup without irritation.

   Aloe vera, rose water, sunflower oil, ginseng root, elder flower, and linden flower extracts work together to purify, tone, and rejuvenate the skin.

   Ginseng is rich in antioxidants and revitalizing phytonutrients that energize the complexion and improve overall tone.
