Mother nature offers the best of her creations for our beauty! There are tons and tons of ingredients out there in the nature that are insanely good for our skin.
Well, at least they are a zillion times better than certain potent chemicals found in commercial beauty products that in reality, are harmful to the skin in the long run. Thankfully, seeing an increasing demand for natural beauty products in the market, a lot of brands have started taking a vegan and cruelty-free approach for catering to our skin’s needs using only natural ingredients (and not harming any bunnies or little mice in this process!).
With this post, we will be sharing the list of top 10 best vegan face wash for 2020 (that are also cruelty-free) which you can try out if you are planning to switch to an all-natural and vegan skincare routine. Let’s get started with the list!

Our Top 3 Favourite Picks From The List
1. Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser & Clarifying Cleanser

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.
