Is the packaging recyclable? BPA free?
All their tubes, bottles, and caps are recyclable and free of BPA. Refer to packaging for recyclability information. For example, in the Organics line, the tubes are #2 HDPE, while the caps are #5 PP.
What is the difference between their different Tea Tree Oils?
Their Tea Tree Oils vary based on how they are grown and harvested. All are subject to the highest quality standards possible, including terpinen-4 levels of 38+ and low cineole levels of less than 3%.
Their 100% Australian Tea Tree Oil is grown and harvested conventionally. Their growers are certified under the Code of Practice that sets guidelines for Tea Tree production and quality. This oil is steam distilled and no chemicals are used in the process. Sustainable practices are used, including use of solar energy, state of the art irrigation, and minimal pesticides.
Their Eco-Harvest Tea Tree Oil is grown on an environmentally sustainable, ecologically responsible plantation that is aligned with a USDA Organic operation, but is NOT USDA certified.
Their Organic Oil is USDA certified and grown under the most environmentally sustainable, ecological, and responsible practices. No chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides are used on the farm, which is surrounded by protected government land. Rain water is used instead of an irrigation system, cows are used to graze and control weeds and grasses, and a wood-fired burner is used to steam distill the oil.
Is their Tea Tree Oil steam-distilled?
Yes, their tea tree oil is steam-distilled, and no chemicals are used in the process.
What is the chemical composition of our Tea Tree Oil?
Tea Tree Oil is made up of over 300 chemical compounds. The most important of these are Terpinen-4, which is responsible for antiseptic action, and cineole, which can be responsible for skin irritation. They require our tea tree oils to have Terpinen-4 levels of 38% and over, which is well above industry average. The cineole levels are kept low at less than 3%, which are well below industry average.
How should Tea Tree Oil be used?
Tea Tree Oil should always be diluted with water, a carrier oil, or other liquid before applying to skin. Test on a patch of skin before applying. Avoid getting into eyes. Review product instructions and warnings before use.
JOJOBA OIL
Is the 100% Pure Jojoba Oil cold-pressed or chemically extracted?
Their Jojoba Oil is cold-pressed and no chemicals are involved in the extraction process.
Will refrigerating my Jojoba Oil extend the shelf life?
The shelf life of their Jojoba Oil is 3 years. Storing it in the refrigerator can extend its shelf life by as much as 1 year. Please note that the oil will solidify when exposed to cold, but will return to liquid at room temperature, without affecting the quality of the oil.
What are some of the uses of Jojoba Oil?
Jojoba Oil has many useful applications. It can be used as a deep conditioning treatment for hair, skin moisturizer, or even as a shaving prep.
What is the difference between the Organic Jojoba Oil and the Non-Organic Jojoba Oil?
Organic Jojoba Oil is certified by the USDA Organic as meeting strict ingredient and processing standards, including no use of pesticides, fungicides, and any other chemicals. The conventional Jojoba Oil is extracted without any chemicals, but is not certified under the USDA organic standard.
SHAMPOOS & CONDITIONERS
Can I use any Organics shampoo on color-treated hair?
For color-treated hair, we recommend using the Italian Red Grape Shampoo and Conditioner, which were specially formulated to protect against sun damage and fading. Please avoid using any shampoo or conditioner with Tea Tree Oil, as that may lighten hair color. If you color your hair and the color comes out too dark, a Tea Tree Replenishing Shampoo Therapeutic and Conditioner can help lighten the color.
DENTAL CARE
Does the wax in the Tea Tree Dental Tape contains any soy, corn or gluten?
No, it is free of soy, corn, and gluten.
Do your toothpastes and mouthwashes contain flouride?
All therir dental care products are fluoride-free.
FACIAL SKIN CARE
Are the Tea Tree Oil Cleansing Pads and cleansers pH balanced?
Their pads and cleansers help to pH balance your skin. The skin, especially if it has problems, is slightly acidic. Their cleansers run slightly alkaline so they can help pH balance the skin.
SUNSCREENS
Does the sunscreen contain nanoparticles?
No, they do not use or allow any of their vendors use nanoparticles.
DEODORANTS
Does the deodorants contain aluminum?
No, their deodorants do not contain aluminum.

I have severe allergies. Can they tell me what is in their "proprietary blend of essential oils"?

Are their products nut-free?

What is Titanium Dioxide?
Titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral that helps block harmful UVA and UVB rays. In fact, most sunscreens on the market today contain some amount of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
What is Resveratrol used for?
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant derived from red grapes as well as certain plants. It is believed to have strong skin and hair benefits.
What are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)?
Natural AHAs come from citrus or other fruits. They work by exfoliating and cleansing the skin, causing surface skin cells to slough off to reveal clear, radiant skin.
Do the Organics products contain fragrance (parfum)?

INSPIRATION
The desert landscape is a model of pristine balance and sustainability, where limited natural resources, if used responsibly, offer the body and spirit untold benefits. The desert is both the source of our ingredients and the inspiration for how they bring their products to you. Drawn from nutrient-rich desert botanicals revered in native cultures for their healing properties, our naturally effective products work in harmony with your body to soothe, nurture, and restore.
CONSCIENCE
They strive every day to ensure both their products and their practices reflect the serious commitment we make to the health of our planet. To support sustainability, theu use natural and organic ingredients from around the world. They support a federation of Australian plantation farmers who have signed a pledge not to use any artificial pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. No animal testing is performed on their raw materials or their finished products. They offset 100% of their electricity annually by purchasing energy credits, by printing all their brochures on paper recycled from chopsticks, and by doing the simple things like turning off the lights when leaving any office or room.
PROMISE
Desert Essence was founded in 1978 to promote the countless benefits of Jojoba Oil & Aloe Vera. They went on to become the first company to introduce Australian Tea Tree Oil to the United States market. Since then, they have expanded to include natural and organic beauty care products specifically formulated to improve the lifestyles of today’s most health-conscious consumers. As they discover more natural ingredients, their products will continue to evolve. They look forward to bringing their benefits of healing, beauty, and renewal to your life, and to the life of the world we all share.

I love this stuff! I have been using it for a couple years now and it works well. Lasts a long time! I get the larger refill for it now. There is a strange scent to it (you get used to it) which is why I only give it 4 stars.
-
love, love, love this stuff. my two sisters and i are addicted. it works really well at clearing up acne when used with the face pads.
-
I LOVE THIS STUFF IT REALLY DOES THE JOB AND I ALSO USE IT TO CLEANSE MY COSMETIC BRUSHES..ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
-
Super value for the money! All natural ingredients. A little bit goes a long way. Also can be put into a foaming pump to extnend it further.
-
It's a lot for the money, but a little oily for my skin.
-
organic and a natural antiseptic. nothing else works better for my sensitive skin conditions. and you cant find a better price anywhere.
-
Amazing facial wash! I've been searching for this product for years. It removes makeup, leaves face feeling soft and smooth. The smell was strange at first however after a few uses you begin to enjoy the smell. Highly recommended for persons with oily, sensitive, or acne prone skin like myself.
-
Great facial wash, especially in the summer when facial skin tend to be a bit oilier.
-
This is so good and so economical that I would never be without it on hand. It is excellent for the face, but I also use it in a foaming pump mixed with my favorite hand-soap scents, because it is also antibacterial. If I have a cut or irritation, I use it full strength, and it seems to heal right away. Even sooths and removes redness from skin disruptions and allergic reactions well. Must have!
-
This solved my acne problem. I love this stuff and it smells great too.
-
My face feels very clean and fresh after using this and it also works really well on any insect bites, scrapes, sunburns or scratches -- tea tree is naturally anti-bacterial and very soothing.
-
This product is too strong for me. I deluted more than mentioned in order to use.
-
Great face wash! Doesn't leave a greasy film like other natural face cleansers. Gentle on the skin and keeps blemishes under control.
-
We have used this product for years. It is fantastic. Everyone in our household noticed improvements in their skin, less blemishes, less dryness and very fresh feeling
-
I like it, but it's a bit too watery, I was hoping it tingles like tea tree oil does but it doesn't tingle a bit or has any cooling sensation. A good product still
-
This is by far the best face wash I have ever used! It thoroughly cleans without drying and my face feels fresh and envigorated. Highly recommended and the price can't be beat.
-
I am 30 years old and up until last year had some pretty painful acne. When I was 26 I tried a brand that worked really well for me. But then my mother actually picked this up for me somewhere and within the first time of using this I felt a huge difference. I gave some to a friend who's son is a teenager and nothing worked for him. She got a hold of me the other day and wanted to know where to buy the stuff. And my cousin's son also suffers from oily skin and acne. He too loves this stuff. It is very easy to use and lasts forever. I can't say enough about this product. It amazes me that at the age of 30 I am finally finding something that works for me. I highly recommend this product. You must use lotion after using this because of the tea tree it can dry your skin out. Also, in the summertime it is not good to put lotion on oily skin. I love love love this stuff. You won't regret buying this!
-
love it. Works great for me oily/acne-prone skin, not drying or irritating like most acne products, yet very very effective!! I've tried many cleansers (from drug store brand to high end brands) This is by far definitely the best!! Highly recommend!!!
-
The refill is a great bargain! This face wash is good even for my sensitive, sometimes dry skin.
-
Very good for acne and oily skin.
-
I've been using this product for a couple of years and love the way it helps me deal with my oily skin and hair. Yes, at 58 years old I still have acne. I often put it in a "foaming" bottle that I bouy at Walmart for less than $2. (The "foamer bottle" comes with hand soap in it so I simply reuse the bottle over and over after it's empty.) This is a great way to save money on any kind of liquid hand/dish soap because you fill it with half water and half cleanser. Some people complain about the smell of Tea Tree Oil. However, for me the results are well worth the slightly
unpleasant smell.
-
I do what I can to ensure we do not run out of this product. I will not switch as long as this is available. I feel good using this product on my body. No yucky stuff in here!
-
Been buying this for years! Lathers and rinses well and cleans my face great! Haven't even looked around for another product since we found this one. Tea tree oil has been great to help make less breakouts.
-
a wonderful facial wash. order arrived quickly
-
-
This natural face wash really does make your skin feel very clean and refreshed after using! The scent is different - but I wouldn't call it bad. It just smells more earthy than most scented face washes. The scent doesn't linger after washing off, so I wouldn't worry about it.
I've been using this product for the last few weeks (twice a day) and my acne is slowly healing and becoming less noticable. I've also noticed less breakouts and better texture and tone in my skin. I'll continue to stick with it as it appears to be working!
-
Face doesn't seem to break out as much. Rinses of easily unlike some soaps that leave film.
-
Love this face wash! Feels like a spa experience each time I wash my face!! Super clean and fresh! Will continue to purchase it in the future!
-
love that the refill was at a discount, this will last a long time! also love the prices on Lucky Vitamin website, we got our order rather quickly and it was all there, no problems at all!
-
So much cheaper to use refill. Best face (I also use for hand soap) soap I have ver used.
-
This is the only facial wash that works to keep my face free of blemishes.
-
So economical and gives the fresh clean feeling
-
I can't say enough good things about this facewash. Leaves my skin squeaky clean..literally. My teens LOVED how it cleared up their acne after trying every known store bought product on the market. I love the natural ingredients and price. Don't change anything about this product!
-
Not harsh on face or skin. Leaves face and skin soft.
-
Smells good, my daughter likes it for oil stripping.
-
This is the only face wash i have found that does not break my face out
-
love this facial cleanser
-
Both "GinkGold" and "Desert Essence Face Wash" are excellant products. And "Lucky Vitamin" also has ecellant pricing and customer service. Therefore, I would recommend both products and "Lucky Vitamin" to others-
thank you
-
My 14yo son uses Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash 3 times a week. It's helped a ton to keep acne under control. The refill bottle is a real deal!
-
Do you ever feel like your face is not really clean? With this product your face will feel clean! I don't use it ever day as it can cause dry skin. But I use it to clean my makeup brushes, and clean boo boo's : )
-
inexpensive and works well
-
It is a bit runny but it works perfectly and smells great. The price is excellent... I'm switching to this one.
-
I have been using this product for years. LuckyVitamin has the best price I've ever seen!
