Collection: Facial Cleansers

There is no legal definition for what constitutes a 'clean' facial cleanser, but all the products we offer follow The Credo Clean Standard™ which bans over 2700 potentially harmful ingredients. Natural facial cleansers also don't have a set definition, but they generally use natural or naturally derived ingredients. Conversely, organic facial cleansers meet strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the USDA Organic program.

At Credo Beauty, our clean skin care products, including face washes and cleansers, adhere to The Credo Clean Standard™. This ensures that our products are safer for both your skin and the environment. Clean face washes and cleansers avoid chemicals, parabens, phthalates, and sulfates commonly found in regular cleansers. Plus, our clean face cleansers meet rigorous sustainability and packaging requirements, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.

When it comes to picking a natural facial cleanser or natural face wash to add to your skin care routine, it is important to look at the ingredients in each product to see how they can help with your particular skin type. For sensitive skin, look for products that include jojoba oil, which helps soothe irritated skin. Salicylic acid is beneficial for oily skin and acne-prone skin because it exfoliates deep within the pores to unclog them and prevent breakouts. As we consistently push for greater transparency within the industry, we aim to make it as easy as possible to spot these ingredients.

Clean face cleansers can be helpful for acne-prone skin, but their effectiveness depends on the severity of the acne. They often contain soothing botanicals but may lack the punch of medicated cleansers. Some natural ingredients like tea tree oil possess antibacterial properties that can help manage acne, but studies show that it is only effective when treating mild acne.

At Credo Beauty, we only bring you the very best of clean beauty. With our strict vetting process, you can be sure that you’re putting the best clean ingredients on your skin. When it comes to brands, Follain boasts a loyal following and positive customer reviews for its effective yet gentle cleansers. Tata Harper is known for their transparency and commitment to using farm-to-face ingredients. Marie Veronique is also a popular choice for clean beauty enthusiasts and has won numerous awards from beauty publications and retailers.

At Credo Beauty, all of the products we offer follow our sustainable packaging guidelines to lessen the environmental burden of beauty packaging. Some clean brands opt for recycled or recyclable packaging, while others choose biodegradable materials and offer refill options. Clean facial cleansers also avoid harsh chemicals that can pollute waterways during production and disposal.

Finding a truly clean cleanser for your skin care routine can be tricky, but there are certification boards that can help. To ensure your product meets the regulated safety standards and has not been tested on animals, find skin care products that have EWG Verified and Cruelty-Free certifications. You can also look for products that have been certified by the USDA Organic program. But the real power lies in understanding which ingredients to avoid, such as sulfates (SLS, SLES), parabens, and phthalates. At Credo Beauty, we’ve done all the hard work for you, as all of our products have been vetted to our industry-leading vetting in The Credo Clean Standard™.
