These seven pregnancy-friendly cleansers come with naturally-derived ingredient lists that read less like a science experiment and more like your weekly grocery shop.
From avocado oils to manuka honey, these are our favourite tried-and-tested natural formulas to effectively remove dirt and grime while maintaining a healthy, hydrated glow.

Need to try but maybe not sukin as I’m not a fab
The Weleda cleanser is very creamy and smells delicious
I need to try some of the Weleda products, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them.
That sounds lovely
Good to know Gloss_Geek
I am not sure if I have had a natural cleanser -These ones look lovely
I love that these are all affordable options, readily available from places like Priceline and Chemist Warehouse! I have easily irritated skin and I’ve found the MooGoo ‘Creamy Hydrating Face Cleanser’ to be a great option too 🙂
That’s true. More available for the average shopper.
Some great products on this list and all at affordable prices.
So many cleansers to choose from.
I haven’t tried any of these.
