Super Citrus Cleanser 200 ml

The Super Citrus Cleanser by Eco By Sonya cleanses thoroughly and refreshingly without unnecessarily drying out the skin or leaving it feeling tight. Instead of water, organic aloe vera juice forms the base, followed directly by plant-based glycerin and the mild sugar-based surfactant Decyl Glucoside. Make-up, excess sebum and the day's residue can be reliably washed away, leaving the skin fresh, soft and clean.

• Product type: mildly foaming gel cleanser for the face and neck
• Skin type: suitable for all skin types; particularly suitable for normal, combination and oily skin
• Main effect: thoroughly removes make-up, excess sebum and daily residue
• Skin feel: fresh, clean and soft, without unnecessarily stripping the skin
• Base: organic aloe vera juice instead of added water, supplemented with plant-based glycerin
• Key ingredients: aloe vera, Decyl Glucoside, lemongrass, orange, caviar lime, rainforest lime and desert lime
• Fragrance: fresh and distinctly citrusy with aromatic lemongrass
• Quality: exclusively certified organic or natural ingredients, vegan and cruelty-free

The gel cleanser is particularly well suited to normal, combination and oily skin, but can generally be used with all skin types. Dry skin can also benefit from the moisturising aloe vera base; for very sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend patch testing first because of the essential oils from lemongrass and orange.

What we particularly like about the formula is the combination of thorough cleansing and a genuinely enjoyable application experience. Lemongrass and orange provide a clear, fresh citrus note, while caviar lime, rainforest lime and desert lime complement the formula with Australian plant extracts and naturally occurring fruit acids. The gel lathers lightly and leaves the skin feeling exceptionally clean and refreshed, just as you want from a cleanser - without the need for an aggressive surfactant system.

Key active ingredients

• Organic aloe vera & plant-based glycerin: Aloe vera juice is listed first in the formula and therefore forms the base of the cleanser - not Aqua. Together with glycerin, aloe vera helps retain moisture in the skin and ensures that cleansing feels pleasantly balanced despite the fresh, thorough skin feel.
• Decyl Glucoside: This mild sugar-based surfactant cleanses the skin by dissolving excess sebum, make-up and dirt particles so they can be rinsed away with water. It is significantly gentler than many highly stripping surfactant systems and is therefore very well suited to a cleanser that can be used morning and evening.
• Caviar lime, rainforest lime & desert lime: Three Australian citrus fruits give the formula its distinctive botanical character. Caviar lime naturally contains fruit acids, while all three extracts provide antioxidant plant compounds - a lovely addition for a fresher, smoother and more even-looking complexion, without turning the cleanser into a classic acid peel.
• Organic lemongrass: Lemongrass defines the cleanser's clear, fresh scent and makes the morning cleanse particularly invigorating. The essential oil also brings various naturally occurring plant compounds to the formula and complements the product's clarifying character.
• Organic orange oil: Orange oil rounds off the aromatic lemongrass note with a softer, juicy citrus facet. This gives the cleanser a fresh, lively scent without making it smell like a traditionally perfumed cleansing product.

How to use

• Apply 1-2 pumps to damp face and neck morning and evening.
• Massage in with gentle circular movements, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
• For make-up, sunscreen or heavier soiling, the cleansing step can be repeated a second time immediately afterwards.
• After cleansing, do not rub the skin dry; gently pat it dry and continue with your usual skincare routine.
• For additional moisture, you could follow with the Super Fruit Hydrator, for example.

About Eco By Sonya

Eco By Sonya was founded by Sonya Driver on Australia's Gold Coast. The brand initially became known for its natural self-tanners, but its range now also includes a carefully developed facial skincare line with natural and certified organic ingredients.

We particularly like the pared-back approach of the Super Citrus Cleanser: within its facial skincare range, Eco By Sonya deliberately offers just one cleanser for all skin types. Instead of complicated cleansing systems, it combines a mild surfactant base with aloe vera, moisture and Australian plant extracts - uncomplicated, fresh and pleasant to use every day.

FAQ

Which skin type is the Super Citrus Cleanser suitable for?
It is generally suitable for all skin types. It is particularly well suited to normal, combination and oily skin because it cleanses thoroughly and leaves the skin feeling very fresh. Dry skin benefits from aloe vera and glycerin; very sensitive or reactive skin should take the essential oils into account and patch test the cleanser first.

Does the Super Citrus Cleanser also remove make-up?
Yes. The cleanser is designed to dissolve make-up, excess sebum and everyday residue. For heavier make-up or water-resistant sunscreen, Eco By Sonya recommends cleansing a second time immediately afterwards.

Does the cleanser dry out the skin?
The formula combines a mild sugar-based surfactant with aloe vera and glycerin and is designed to cleanse thoroughly without excessively stripping the skin. However, how a cleanser feels always also depends on your skin type; very dry or sensitive skin may need additional care afterwards.

What is special about the aloe vera base?
Instead of added water, organic aloe vera juice is listed first in the INCI. This means aloe vera is not merely a minor plant extract within the formula, but the actual foundation of the cleanser - a notable difference from many classic cleansing gels, where Aqua makes up the largest proportion.

What do caviar lime, rainforest lime and desert lime do?
The three Australian citrus fruits add antioxidant plant compounds to the formula. Caviar lime also naturally contains fruit acids. As this is a rinse-off cleansing product, however, we would classify the effect more as a skincare-enhancing addition than an intensive AHA peel.

What does the Super Citrus Cleanser smell like?
Fresh, citrusy and slightly herbaceous. Lemongrass is clearly noticeable, while orange makes the fragrance a little softer and rounder - particularly pleasant and invigorating in the morning.

Can I use the cleanser morning and evening?
Yes. Eco By Sonya recommends 1-2 pumps morning and evening. If you only need very light cleansing in the morning or have drier skin, you can of course adjust the frequency according to how your skin feels.
