It was created by a licensed esthetician for skin that has just been waxed, sugared, lasered, or shaved, and it is just as lovely as an everyday wash for anyone who wants skin that feels clean and soft without fragrance or harsh detergents. It lathers into a rich, creamy foam and doubles as a bubble bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula is short on purpose. Organic aloe leaf juice softens and soothes, and two mild cleansers made from sugar and coconut, decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside, build a generous lather without sulfates. A touch of citric acid keeps the wash pH balanced, so it cleanses without disrupting the skin's natural barrier. There are no sulfates, no SLS or SLES, no parabens, no fragrance, and nothing derived from nuts, which is why we recommend it for sensitive and reactive skin and during pregnancy and nursing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing pH balanced matters most right after hair removal. For a day or two after waxing or sugaring, the follicles are open and the skin is easily irritated, which is exactly when scented, high pH soaps sting, dry the skin out, and leave it more prone to bumps. Simply Pure keeps the follicles clean without that irritation, so the skin settles faster and is ready for your ingrown hair serum and oil. It works after every kind of hair removal, including waxing, sugaring, laser, electrolysis, threading, and shaving, and on every area from brows and upper lip to underarms, legs, and a full Brazilian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne bottle covers the whole shower, so you can use it as a gentle face wash (keeping it out of your eyes), as a mild shampoo, as your body wash, and as a daily wash for the bikini line and external intimate skin. It is just as gentle on the neck, chest, and back after shaving. Pour a capful under warm running water and it becomes a soft, fragrance free bubble bath that will not leave sensitive skin itchy. Because it is fragrance free, it never competes with the rest of your routine, so a few drops of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nourishing-oils\"\u003eNourishing Oil\u003c\/a\u003e afterward is the only scent you will notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply Pure is step one of our three step aftercare routine: cleanse with Simply Pure, follow with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/smooth-operator-ingrown-hair-serum\"\u003eSmooth Operator\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/truth-serum-ingrown-hair-serum\"\u003eTruth Serum\u003c\/a\u003e to help prevent ingrown hairs, then finish with Nourishing Oil.

Fine sugar buffs away dry, dull, flaky skin, while coconut, sunflower, and avocado oils soften and hydrate as you scrub, so you rinse off feeling smooth and nourished rather than stripped.
