Why we started Era Organics

Made by someone who reads every label

“Years of trying product after product only made my own skin worse. So I started researching what skin actually needs: real nutrients, moisture and a balanced pH, without harsh chemicals. We worked with an experienced chemist to make our first moisturizer, Complete, and every product we've made since follows the same rule.”

How Face Wash works

3 Ways Face Wash Leaves Skin Clean and Soft

Mild plant-derived cleansers, moisture-binding honey and aloe, and a pH that matches your skin.

Manuka Honey Gentle Face Wash

Clean without the tight, stripped feeling

Harsh sulfate cleansers strip away the natural oils your skin needs, leaving it dry and irritated. Cleanse + Restore uses mild plant-based cleansers with manuka honey and aloe, so skin comes out clean, soft and balanced.

  1. Cleanse

    Lift away oil and buildup

    Mild coconut- and corn-derived cleansers wash away oil, dirt and buildup without sulfates.

  2. Hydrate

    Keep skin soft

    Organic aloe vera (the first ingredient), manuka honey and hyaluronic acid hold in moisture while you wash.

  3. Nourish

    Leave skin comfortable

    Vitamin E and cehami flower extract leave skin calm and comfortable, wash after wash.

Common questions

Everything you've asked us

Straight answers on safety, ingredients, and how to get the best results.

Why does pH balance matter?

Skin naturally sits at a slightly acidic pH of about 5.5, while most soaps run at 8 to 10. A pH-balanced wash cleans without throwing your skin off balance, so it doesn’t feel tight or dry afterwards.

Can I use it on my body too?

Yes. Use it on your face and body every day, in place of regular soap.

Does it have a scent?

It’s fragrance free. Any light scent comes from the plant ingredients.

Is it gentle enough for sensitive skin?

Yes. It’s made without sulfates, parabens or added fragrance, and starts with organic aloe vera.

What do I do if I experience burning or irritation?

Test a little on your inner wrist before first use, since that skin is more sensitive. If any irritation occurs, stop using it and contact your physician.

More about Face Wash

Why Choose Cleanse + Restore Face Wash for Sensitive Skin from Era Organics?

Era Organics Cleanse & Restore is more than just a face wash for sensitive skin. It is carefully crafted to be the best facial cleanser for all skin types to fortify the skin barrier- whether dry skin, oily skin or combination skin. The secret to the formulation is rejuvenating Manuka Honey and calming Australian Cehami Extract in a gently cleansing, pH balanced solution that is sulfate free, perfume free with no hidden toxins.

Improper pH balanced cleansers can aggravate the skin and lead to excess oil production or lead to severely dry skin. Sulfates strip the skin of essential oils, harming the skin’s biome. 

Era Organics is committed to making clinical strength, clean skincare products that are formulated to work with and enhance your skin without the need to harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients. Each batch is made right here in the USA and 3P tested for quality, stability and safety. As a small family business, customer satisfaction is our top priority. 

What is the Importance of Choosing the Right Facial Wash for Sensitive Skin?

Choosing the right facial wash for sensitive skin is crucial to avoid irritation and discomfort. Sensitive skin is prone to allergies, inflammation, redness and drying out. The benefits of using the right facial cleanser include supporting the skin barrier and providing lasting hydration while not causing irritation. Many cases of sensitive skin are caused by using skincare products that are improperly pH balanced, use sulfates and harsh synthetic ingredients that damage the skin barrier and throw off the skin’s microbiome.

Cleanse & Restore is a sulfate free cleanser that uses a coconut derived surfactant to gently wash away dirt, buildup and dead skin cells while bathing your skin in nutrient rich ingredients like aloe vera, cehami extract and manuka honey. 

What Ingredients are Best for Facial Washes for Sensitive Skin?

The best ingredients for a facial wash for sensitive skin are gentle, non-irritating, moisturizing and soothing. The list of ingredients ideal for sensitive skin are listed below. 

1. Manuka Honey 

Manuka Honey comes from the nectar of the Manuka bush only grown in New Zealand. Manuka honey is an ancestral skin remedy that  is rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins like B-complex, which help nourish, soothe and hydrate the skin. Manuka honey is naturally purifying with calming properties to help soothe sensitive skin, reducing the appearance of redness and irritation while gently cleansing without stripping natural oils, perfect for sensitive skin.

2. Aloe Vera 

Aloe Vera is derived from the gel-like substance inside the leaves of the Aloe barbadensis plant, grown in arid regions in Mexico. Aloe vera naturally contains vitamins A, C, E, and B12, plus minerals like zinc, which help calm, hydrate and promote skin repair. Aloe vera has cooling, anti-inflammatory effects to aid sensitive skin, and reduces irritation while providing gentle moisture in a cleanser.

3. Cehami Extract 

Cehami Extract comes from the Centipeda cunninghamii plant, native to Australia.Cehami extract has been used for centuries as a skin treatment since it’s packed with flavonoids and antioxidants that promote skin healing and help reduce inflammation. Cehami extract’s soothing properties make it ideal for sensitive skin, as it minimizes the appearance of redness and irritation while supporting skin recovery.

4. Vitamin E 

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant often sourced from plant oils like sunflower, or almonds. Vitamin E helps protect the skin from oxidative stress with its high antioxidant content and supports skin barrier repair. Vitamin E is great for sensitive skin by helping reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, preventing irritation from harsh cleansers, while providing stability in formulas.

5. Hyaluronic Acid 

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, primarily known for its ability to hold large amounts of water, making it a key player in skin hydration. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant (attracts and retains moisture), boosting skin hydration by holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid provides gentle, non-irritating hydration while helping strengthen the skin barrier and reducing dryness, without causing irritation.

  • Itch: Sensitive skin is prone to persistent itching, sometimes without visible rash, caused by irritants such as strong cosmetic ingredients like perfume or allergens. 
  • Dryness: Dryness in sensitive skin feels tight, dry or flaky due to impaired skin barrier function, making sensitive skin more prone to irritation. 
  • Rash: Rashes or small red bumps similar to contact dermatitis is a sign of sensitive skin. Rashes are often caused by allergic reactions or environmental triggers. 
  • Tingling: Tingling is a sign of sensitive skin due to allergies to more common ingredients that do not affect regular skin types or a reaction to cleansing from stripping the skin.
