The Organic Pharmacy Carrot Butter Cleanser
I’m a big fan of the UK’s THE ORGANIC PHARMACY brand and I was able to get my hands on their Carrot Butter Cleanser ($69/2.5oz @ barneys.com). It’s unlike your typical face cleanser in that it is super thick kinda like a hair wax that you warm up in your hands before rubbing it on. It’s great at removing all traces of makeup and the day’s dirt and grime and I found it best when using their Organic Muslin Cloth to wipe it all off. Just be sure not to apply too much of the cleanser or you will get a slight waxy residue leftover on your skin.
Let’s look at some major ingredients and anti-oxidants inside. Just wow!
It did take me a minute to get used to the non-foamingness of something like this balm but since I grew up using Ponds Cold Cream, it hasn’t been too hard.
The only one I could do without is lavender in it. I’ve just grown to dislike it quite a bit over the years and can smell it when there is even a hint of it in anything. But, this one is worth the torture as my skin feels soooo nice after using this to cleanse and I pretty much don’t feel like I need a moisturizer afterward.
