Green People Gentle Organic Cleanser


Review of Green People Gentle Cleanse 2 in 1 organic cleanser: Make Up Remover and Face Wash. (For all skin types)

By Anisa B.

Packaging: The Green People Gentle Cleanse 2 in 1 organic cleanser comes in a pump top bottle for the 200ml and 50ml sizes and for the trial size 10ml, it comes in a small tube. I find the packaging allows the product to be dispensed easily without a mess. The packaging is also recyclable and non air-freighted.

Application: The texture of the Green People Gentle organic cleanser is a cream-like texture; it feels like you’re putting on a moisturiser except it does not get absorbed into your skin. Because of this texture, it is easily blend able and can be applied very quickly. It can be applied with the fingers and then washed off or taken off with a cloth. I found either method worked well but with the cloth, you can get stubborn residue off more easily.

Ingredients: Green People says that ‘This natural skin care product is made without Parabens, Lanolin, ethyl alcohol, artificial perfumes, petrochemicals, phthalates and colourants to bring you the purest cleanser that nature can offer.’

The highlighted ingredients on the packaging are Chamomile, Aloe Vera and Marshmallow. All of these ingredients are soothing and calming and are suitable for sensitive skin.

Results: I found this cleanser to be worth buying as it removes make-up and grime from the skin effectively, it does not have an irritating fragrance to it. I also liked that it did not dry my skin out like some cleansers do; it just left the skin feeling hydrated and clean. My only gripe was that it did not take off all of my eye make-up as well as I would have liked, I needed to use more of the product for my eye area in order to take it all off and in turn, I would go through the product quite quickly which is a downside as it may not be economical.

The pros of Green People Gentle organic cleanser are:


It’s suitable for sensitive & dry skin
It contains soothing ingredients to calm irritated, angry skin
It removes the majority of face and eye make-up
Does not make the eyes tear up
Does not have strong fragrance
Does not leave skin feeling dry or tight

The cons are:
Oily skins may find it a bit greasy
You need to keep using more for stubborn eye-make up

The Green People Gentle Cleanse 2 in 1 organic cleanser (200ml £14.50, 50ml £8.50) and Green People products are available at Naturisimo.com.
