Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

Checks and Balances is Origins' longtime frothy face wash, a soap-based cleanser built on plant-derived fatty acids that whips into a light lather. Spearmint and bergamot essential oils give it a cooling, energizing scent, while wheat protein and seaweed extract are added to keep the wash from feeling stripping.
