As we all know, the products you choose to clean your skin can make a tremendous difference in how your skin looks and feels for decades to come.

Top Benefits of Using Clean Ingredients in Your Washes + Soaps

What’s in your washes and soaps is just as important as what they can do to protect and nurture your precious skin. Here’s why:

  1. Gentle cleansing. Clean ingredients show your skin the gentle TLC it needs and wants while also nourishing your skin. Not sure what’s clean or not clean? Learn about which ingredients to avoid here.
  2. Hydrate and moisturize. Clean ingredients can go a long way to maintaining your skin’s natural and protective barrier, keeping that important moisture your skin needs in your skin for as long as possible.
  3. Protect skin, especially sensitive skin. Clean ingredients can help soothe and even repair your skin and are less likely than “unclean” ingredients to strip away those precious oils your skin needs to prevent dryness and irritation, which can also make your skin look older and less glow-y. #winwin
  4. Hypoallergenic. Clean ingredients are way less likely to cause an allergic reaction with your skin than their chemical-laden counterparts.
  5. Balance skin pH. Clean ingredients can help your skin maintain a balanced skin pH, arming your skin against the often-damaging effects of the environment it faces every single day. While you might not even realize it, environmentally-caused skin damage can trigger premature aging, loss of elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles. No thank you, right?!?!

Bonus benefit: Bars and washes created with clean ingredients—which are sustainable and biodegradable—can help protect our environment while also protecting your skin.

Using washes and soaps created with clean ingredients can gift your skin the love and care it craves every single day both now and far into the future. We’ve taken the same clean-loving care when creating our Zents collection of washes and soaps, and with a wide variety of scents to choose from, finding your new favorites will be oh, so simple!.
