This was my go-to exfoliator/anti-acne cleanser. I loved how smooth my face felt after using this. When I first started moving to using natural products, I had thought I would be able to continue using this because St. Ives presents itself as having "all natural products." Sadly, I am not aware of any St. Ives product that is actually comprised of all natural ingredients. I stopped using this months ago when I read the ingredient list and saw that it included sodium laureth sulfate, but I thought it would be interesting to see how the entire list measured up on Skin Deep.

Yeah,st.ives make us think that they're green but they aren't. And EWG..that web is pretty confusing also!I know that they try to be neutral,but for some people their info can be missinterpreted. For example parabens.If you search there,on their upper box about cancer info,it says"no information".While if you read the whole data by scrolling down,it says about cancer possibility info.But the upper conclusion box is confusing..I'm questioning EWG though it's useful..Oh my,sounds like hypocrite eh?:D
