Description

Escentia Natural Face Wash Base is a gentle liquid cleansing base made for facial cleansing and easy customisation. It can be used as supplied for a simple, low-fuss face wash, or adjusted with compatible additions to create a more personalised cleanser. The base uses a mild surfactant system and includes preservatives to help support product stability.

Its pH range of 6.0 to 8.0 makes it a practical starting point for DIY facial cleansing formulas. Why we love it: This base gives makers a natural-leaning starting point without having to build a face wash from scratch. It is biodegradable, easy to personalise and flexible enough for simple routines or small-batch product development.
