Where to find Natural Skincare: A Guide
If you’ve ever tried to transition out some of your beauty products for better and safer options than you know that finding natural or organic beauty products is like finding a needle in a haystack. To speed up the process and maybe even help some of you out who want to transition to completely natural skincare, here’s our guide on where to find the best products:
1. Credo Beauty
Credo Beauty is an online retailer that specializes in not just organic or natural skincare but makeup as well. It’s your one-stop shop for everything from foundation to serums. Every product either uses a majority of natural ingredients or is completely organic. None of these products contain harmful chemicals that can damage your skin down the line (a huge YES.) Credo Beauty verifies all ingredient lists and ensures that all ingredients are available to see - check it out!
2. Skincare Ox
This site isn’t necessarily for purchasing products but it does contain a variety of lists on the best brands for natural/organic cleansers, toners, moisturizers, you name it. Each list is then broken down into affordable products, products for acne, dry/oily skin, etc. They also include links to official sites for each brand or an Amazon link alternative. A remarkable part of this website is that they offer a service for a one time or quarterly subscription box that allows you to try these brands and it comes with 6-8 full size products and one luxury sample item curated just for you. If you’re serious about getting into non-toxic beauty then this is a really good first step.
3. Sephora
This isn’t really news per se, but most people don’t actually know that Sephora actually holds a large inventory of organic products. Who knew? To search for these products on their website all you have to do is search “Clean at Sephora” and all the natural products that have been verified by Sephora. They even give it a cute lil' stamp of approval with a green "Clean at Sephora!"
Beautycounter is an exclusively online brand that sells natural or organic products for skincare, makeup, bath + body, and even contain a family section for babies! One of the best features of Beauty Counter is that they have a qualified online beauty consultant that can help you with your purchases while you’re browsing through the products. If you have any questions about any products, don't be afraid to start a chat with a consultant right at the top of the screen.
Thrive Market is best described as a grocery/department store online. Talk about an au naturel online angel. It has a lot more than just organic/natural skincare + beauty products -such as healthy foods, home cleaning supplies, appliances, decor, fitness products, and even some goodies for your pets! Pretty much a Whole Foods/Trader Joe’s kinda situation but online. Can we get an Amen? Thrive also has an app for easy on-the-go browsing. Because of the broader spectrum of products we would recommend this to anyone who’s fully committing to the organic lifestyle. The best part: *drumroll please* FREE shipping!
