Our Top 3 Favourite Picks From The List

• Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser

• Paula’s Choice SKIN RECOVERY Cream Cleanser

1. Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser & Clarifying Cleanser

Regenerating cleanser is ideal for: Oily & Combination Skin Type

Clarifying cleanser is ideal for: Oily Skin Type With Acne

A lot of times while inspecting the ingredients list of natural skincare products, you might end up getting introduced to totally new ingredients that you probably didn’t even know could be used for your skin! Take Hordeum Vulgare Leaf Juice (aka Barley) as an example which is present in the Tata Harper’s Clarifying skin cleanser.

These two cleansers may appear quite similar from the packaging, but they each have a unique set of ingredients in them.

The Tata Harper Regenerating face cleanser is enriched with Microspherical Apricot Seed Powder that helps to gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it free of dirt as well as toxins. Along with that, the regenerating cleanser also contains natural enzymes, essential oils and clays that balance and hydrate the skin. As it has a lot of detoxifying ingredients in it, this facial cleanser is ideally great for those with an oily to combination skin type.

On the other hand, the Tata Harper Clarifying face cleanser would work well for those who have a recurring acne problem. This clarifying face wash has a blemish clearing formula with natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients like honey.

If delicious coconut soup or lentil curry are all that come to your mind when you think about coconut milk, then control your palates for a minute!

This vegan face wash from a cruelty-free skincare brand called Eminence packs a punch of skin nourishing coconut milk as well as virgin coconut oil. The eminence facial cleanser instantly delivers a dose of antioxidants to your skin and repairs free radical damage which is mostly caused due to long term exposure to harsh UV rays emitted by the sun.
