Most beauty cleansers use the same synthetic cleansing and foaming agents to cleanse the skin. Sodium Laurel Sulfate, and its many derivatives, is a widely used chemical. Some brands try to soften the use by stating that it is derived from 'Coconut' as if that makes it less harmful to your skin. Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) is an industrial strength cleansing agent. It is fantastic for cleansing oil and grease....from dishes (it's in dishwashing powder)....from stained clothing (it's in laundry detergent)....and from garage floors (used to remove oil in auto garages). Why would you use it on your skin? These types of synthetic chemicals have been linked to the growing number of skin issues that many now experience. Repeated and prolonged use of these toxins can cause a number of issues. So, why do some brands use these chemicals? The answer is that they are cheap. To meet certain pricepoints, manufacturers use low priced chemicals, and you pay the price.
Russell Organics takes a different approach. We do not start with a price point in mind. We start by making sure that we do not use any toxins. None. Then we formulate with only the finest botanical extracts and essential oils, many of which are better cleansers than the synthetic chemicals. With the use of natural cleansing agents, we are able to offer cleansers than clean without stripping the skin of vital nutrients.
Synthetic cleansers may strip the skin of oil, but this only serves to stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, thereby making oily or combination skin more oily. Only the use of balancing botanicals can remove surface impurities and leave the skin balanced and healthy.
