Meh, this is just ok. It's pretty easy to combine with other things like oils and such and it washes clean eve though it feels a bit greasy when being used. It's very watery and even a thickener hasn't helped with that, so maybe I need a better thickener or a batter base. I'm gonna keep working with it though because it's not awful.

This product is okay. Has a heavy soapy smell that's hard to mask. Leaves some residue. I ended up using it as a hand soap, added some EO, which made it very watery.

I love the gentleness of this cleanser. My customers requested more. It does thin out with essential or fragrance oils but you can add Xanathan Gum or other thickeners if needed.

I love this cleanser on my sensitive skin ... I wear contact lenses, and I can rub this cleanser over my eyes to remove all eye makeup, and it will not irritate! I can't feel it in the least! Gives a deep squeaky clean feeling! Will re purchase over and over!!!!

I actually bought this base for my husband and I to use in the home, not to sell to my customers but after one use I am positive that this is going on my product list! It was very moisturizing. Combined with the cream base with jojoba, this is great!

This is a good base - the only thing I use for my facial care! Interestingly - I have also used this base to make a baby bath gel - my 2 year-old grandson has enjoyed it since he was a newborn. My thought is that if it's kind enough for my sensitive facial skin - it's gotta' be kind enough for our youngest ones. Someday - he will grow out of it - but when his Mum ran out of it one time - he totally viewed the "stuff on hand" with suspicion! The only additives that I have added to this base is - for a 16 oz. batch - to add 25 drops of Lavender Maillette and 12 drops of Roman Chamomile - plus a bit of "lavenderish" colour! I'm just so pleased that this base is mild and light - and would highly recommend it for babies and tots. Thanks again NDA! I'm one of your biggest, confidence-filled fans!

A perfect "basic" cleanser base! I added lavender/mint EO. (Plus a slight hint of patchouli) Clients love it & can't figure out that hint of aroma. Very cleansing, but not irrating. Good for a wide rage of skin-types. (Good for regular bottle types or GREAT for foam bottle types)

Excellent product, some friend used it and told me that it's really great cleanser. Blend well with bothanical extract and EO. I used it myself, and i see a difference on my face, my face look more fresh and clean. I will buy again.

I love the fact this cleanser is thin- makes for a wonderful foamy cleanser, used in our airpumps.

Great for sensitive skin. I've got all my family & friends hooked on it! I blend it with your creamy cleanser for an ultra-nourishing cleanser.

Nice mild cleanser for sensitive skin, but way too thin, it is hard to dispense and hard to use. Will have to add a thickener. I like that it has no scent whatsoever, and was impressed at it's ability to cleanse without any drying. Be prepared to work with this one to get a good finished product, but it might be worth the effort.

My only complaint is the consistency of this product. It is way too thin. The cleanser runs out of the bottle when you turn it over.
