Scotch Porter Restoring Face Wash — 4oz Vegan Gel Cleanser, Non-Stripping + Botanical Actives

Designed for daily use, this 4oz vegan face wash blends gentle surfactants with botanical actives to refresh the complexion without overdrying. It avoids parabens, sulfates, silicones and other harsh additives, relying instead on ingredients like White Willow Bark, Licorice Root and Turmeric to support clearer, more even-looking skin. The formula produces a light foam that rinses clean and leaves behind a subtle West Coast citrus and spice scent.

How does this cleanser remove grime without drying skin?

The gel uses mild, skin-friendly cleansing agents that lift oil, sweat and environmental debris while maintaining the skin’s natural barrier. Unlike strong detergents, it foams gently and rinses away without leaving a tight, parched feel. That balance makes it suitable for daily morning and evening routines.

• Non-stripping surfactants that cleanse without harshness
• Light foam for effective yet gentle removal of impurities
• Rinses clean to preserve moisture and barrier lipids

Which ingredients help with uneven tone and breakouts?

Plant-derived actives are chosen to target common concerns without aggressive chemicals. White Willow Bark provides gentle exfoliating properties to reduce flakiness, Licorice Root supports a more even appearance, and Turmeric Root has a history of calming blemish-prone skin. These botanicals work together to improve texture and soothe redness when used consistently.

• White Willow Bark: mild exfoliation to reduce flakes
• Licorice Root: supports even-looking skin tone
• Turmeric Root: helps soothe and support blemish-prone areas

Is this product safe for sensitive or ingredient-conscious users?

The Restoring Face Wash is formulated without parabens, sulfates, silicones, phthalates, petrolatum, PEGs, mineral oil, or synthetic colors, reducing exposure to commonly avoided additives. It’s also vegan and not tested on animals, which suits users seeking cruelty-free and cleaner formulations. As with any topical product, patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Free from common irritants and controversial additives
• Vegan formulation and cruelty-free approach
• Patch-test recommendation for highly sensitive skin

How should I include this face wash in my routine?

Use a small amount on wet face and neck, massage to create a light foam, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. For optimal results follow with a hydrator such as Scotch Porter Moisture Defend Face Lotion to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier. It’s suitable for daily AM and PM cleansing as part of a basic regimen.

• Apply to wet skin, massage gently, then rinse
• Follow with a moisturizer to maintain hydration
• Use morning and night for consistent improvements

Who is this for: This face wash is aimed at anyone seeking a gentle yet effective daily cleanser—especially those who prefer vegan, thoughtfully formulated skincare without parabens, sulfates or silicones. It’s a solid choice for people with normal to combination or blemish-prone skin who want botanical support for texture and tone, plus a subtle, masculine citrus-spice scent. If you have very dry or highly reactive skin, try a patch test first or consult a skincare professional for personalized guidance.
