Organic Surge Daily Care Face Wash

Organic Surge products are gentle products that are plant based with some certified organic ingredients, at very affordable prices. They are also created and made in the UK.

I was sent this Face Wash to try. It contains rose geranium essential oil, which is helpful for balancing the skin (rose geranium is particularly recommended for oily sluggish skin, or to help heal skin suffering from breakouts). It costs £5.19 for 200ml.

I'm going to be completely honest. I'm not going to swap this totally for my usual hand blended, cold-pressed, raw ingredients cleanser with more active/expensive essential oils and ingredients. 12% of the ingredients in the Organic Surge Face Wash are from organic farming (my usual Live Native balm cleanser is 90% organic origin), but 98.9% of the ingredients (in the Organic Surge) are from natural origin, and it costs £5. It lives in my gym bag and I use it to clean my skin without stripping it after training, and it's perfect for that purpose; it gets off the sweat, is refreshing and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight.  If you are looking for a gentle, affordable foaming cleanser, this is a great option and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I haven't tried this myself, but I also wanted to mention this handwash in support of The Archie Foundation.

100% of the sales of the Archie Foundation Helping Hand Wash (with lavender and patchouli) go to the The Archie Foundation, which supports child health in the north of Scotland. Projects include funding musical therapists and helping to fund new children's wards and equipment, as well as individual grants to sick children. The Handwash costs £3.99 for 250ml.

Organic Surge products are available from the website at www.organicsurge.com, or from John Lewis, Waitrose, Ocado, Whole Foods and Fresh & Wild.
