Ethique Solid Face Cleanser Bar
Ethique's Solid Face Cleanser takes minimal skincare to a whole new level. The bar - shaped like a tiny stone - lasts as long as two to three bottles of liquid cleanser and lathers into a creamy foam that lifts dirt and oil while keeping skin balanced. Made from naturally derived ingredients like coconut oil and clay, it's vegan, palm-oil free, and safe for sensitive skin.
The compact, compostable box means zero plastic, and the bar is perfect for travel - no spills and no TSA hassles. My skin felt clean and never tight after weeks of daily use, and there's no heavy scent or artificial fragrance. It's unscented or lightly herbal, depending on the version.
Ethique invests in ethical sourcing and fair labor, and the bars are made in carbon-neutral facilities. I loved that even after months of use and exposure to water, the bar kept its shape and didn't get mushy or melt away.
If you want a cleanser that matches modern eco values - no plastic, no harsh chemicals, and no waste - this one's a clear winner.
