Ukrainian beauty brand YAKA produces a wide range of cosmetic products based on all-natural ingredients that are completely safe for human health and the environment. For example, the brand’s facial cleansing products (face washes, soaps, scrubs, gommages, make-up removers) contain only mild surfactants and gentle exfoliating agents. Let’s take a closer look at some of the facial cleansers produced by YAKA.
Cleansing is the first and arguably the most important step of any skincare routine. Choosing the right cleansing product can be quite a task because there are many different types of facial cleansers to choose from: gel cleansers, cream cleansers, foam cleansers, oil cleansers, micellar cleansers, soaps, scrubs, cleansing wipes, and more. Generally, you need to choose a cleanser depending on your skin type and type of cleansing (daily cleansing, deep cleansing, make-up removal).
Regardless of the type of cleanser you prefer, you need to pay a close attention to its ingredient list. Inexpensive mass-market products often contain harsh surfactants (such as SLS/SLES), synthetic dyes and fragrances, or other ingredients that may irritate the skin or strip it of moisture. To keep your skin not only clean but also healthy and hydrated, you should choose natural products formulated with plant-derived surfactants and other natural ingredients.
YAKA offers a great selection of natural facial cleansers designed both for daily and for deep cleansing. They include Aloe Vera Cleansing Face Gel, Lavender Face Gommage, Vanilla Face Scrub and Vitamins & Minerals Foaming Face Wash. Let’s learn more about each of these products.
Vitamins & Minerals Foaming Face Wash
This foaming face wash is suitable for all skin types, including irritated and very sensitive skin. The product is formulated with natural surfactants derived from coconut oil that delicately remove dirt, grime, excess sebum and make-up residue from the skin surface. It is free of SLS/SLES, mineral oil, parabens, silicones, E numbers and other irritants.
The key active ingredients that can be found in the product are panthenol, allantoin and pearl powder. Pearl powder is a very delicate exfoliant. It gently polishes the skin, making it look fresh and glowing. Allantoin and panthenol have a soothing and regenerative effect. They relieve red and irritated skin, prevent flaking, and stimulate skin renewal.
Aloe Vera Cleansing Face Gel
Just like the previous one, this facial cleanser is designed for all skin types. Based on green surfactants, it effectively cleanses the skin without making it feel dry and tight. The product is not tested on animals.
YAKA’s facial cleansing gel is formulated with aloe vera leaf juice and extract. Aloe vera is widely used as a cosmetic ingredients due to its moisturising, soothing and regenerative properties. It makes the skin soft and smooth, keeps it hydrated, prevents irritation and flaking, and improves the healing of minor skin injuries.
The soothing and regenerative effect of aloe vera is enhanced by panthenol that has similar properties. It penetrates deep into the epidermis and makes it healthier from the inside.
Vanilla Face Scrub
Vanilla Face Scrub is designed for deep cleansing once or twice a week. It effectively removes dirt and dead cells from the skin surface, prevents clogged pores, and evens skin tone. Free of animal fat, mineral oil and synthetic dyes.
The product is formulated with apricot seed powder. It acts as a delicate exfoliant that doesn’t irritate even sensitive skin. Apricot seed powder makes the skin soft, smooth and radiant, prevents oily and dull complexion.
Other natural ingredients contained in the scrub include olive oil, castor oil, vanilla extract, purple coneflower (echinacea) extract and coffee extract. Vegetable oils moisturise and nourish the skin, making it soft and smooth. Purple coneflower extract relieves inflammation and protects the skin from free radicals. Vanilla extract improves complexion and skin elasticity. Coffee extract is valued for its stimulating and revitalising effect. It improves microcirculation and makes the skin look fresh.
Lavender Face Gommage
Gommage is a type of face scrub that is usually more gentle than regular scrubs. YAKA’s gommage is designed to take care of all skin types, including overly sensitive skin. It is free of any potential irritants.
The product contains apricot kernel powder and sunflower seed wax granules as exfoliating agents. They gently remove dead skin cells, dirt and excess sebum without scratching or irritating the skin.
In addition, the gommage contains lavender water, lavender extract and apricot seed oil. Lavender water and extract have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial and soothing properties.
