Everyone’s talking about β€œclean beauty.” At Naturopathica, it’s not a buzzwordβ€”it’s who we are, and who we’ve always been. To us, clean beauty means fusing plant extracts and botanicals with scientific ingredients that are skin friendly, planet friendly, and proven to drive real results. (Because let’s face it, the only truly sustainable products are the ones you use until the very last drop.)

How to use

The Ritual:

Step 1: Apply 2 pumps of Aloe Vera Cleansing Gel to damp hands. (To include the neck and décolleté, use 3). Splash warm water onto the hands to create a cleansing foam. Massage onto your face in circular motions for at least 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with warm (not hot!) water.

Step 2: Warm a dime-sized amount of Vitamin C Revitalizing Lotion between your hands, then apply to the skin in upwards and outwards motions.

The Enhanced Ritual:

To enhance hydration and brightening benefits: Start with damp skin, and add a targeted serum. (Try Vitamin C15 Wrinkle Remedy Serum for added brightening benefits). Layer Vitamin C Revitalizing Lotion over the serum to help skin better absorb the products’ benefits while locking in moisture.

Maximize Your Results:

To increase antioxidant protection: Vitamin C protects against free radical damage from UV rays and pollution—but adding an SPF 30 or higher ensures those results last while preventing hyperpigmentation. (We like Calendula Essential Hydrating Lotion SPF 30 because it’s gentle and effective.)

With its powerful antioxidant and immune-defending properties, Vitamin C can stimulate collagen production, making the complexion brighter and smoother.

    Favorite cleanse

    Super smooth and refreshing. Doesn’t feel too strong or chemically or cheap like drug store cleansers. I’ve been using it for 4-5 years now and it’s really helped clear up my skin (along with other things).

    Use prior to moisturizer

    Love this lotion as first thing before using calendula moisturizer or the Manuka honey moisturizer .

    Feels great going on - very light but sinks right in .

    Been using it for several years - haven’t found anything better.

    soft gel for nightly cleansing

    Aloe Vera Cleansing Gel is my go to facial cleanser for each night except one. That one night I use the Oatmeal cleanser for a deep clean cleansing. I am such a fan of Naturopathica products. I love their carrot oil and calendula moisterizer as well as their tightening cleansers. The people are so nice there to deal with and the products are really special. Do yourself a favor and treat your skin with a healthy, beautiful product. I bet you will get the same comments that I do once you start using these products. They are the best!!
