In honor of Earth Day, we’re ruminating on how wonderful natural beauty is. Rounding up a list of our favorite eco-friendly brands, these products feature natural, plant-based ingredients to give you that au naturale glow. Luminosity awaits… Dive in below!
Kari Jansen’s organic body care line Poppy & Someday is made by hand in sunny California. Rooted in Ayurveda and Western Herbalism, all of the products focus on native plants, making for an all natural dream. I honestly would swim in her Gypsy Rose Toner if I could.
This brand was founded in 1965 after an aesthetician named Elizabeth Sigmund realized the potential of traditional herbs ability to guide skin to a state of luminosity and reached out to Dr. Hauschka. The duo proceeded to create a line of holistic skincare by using a process dubbed, “biodynamic farming.” The must-try product of the line? The Rose Day Cream.
A line formulated with raw, food grade, organic ingredients in their natural state, RMS Beauty products are created with the goal of revitalizing and nourishing skin. Plus, the natural properties included in all of their formulas offer some major anti-aging benefits. Word on the street is their Living Luminizer is one of their best products!
Dubbed 100% natural, organic, and nontoxic skincare, Tata Harper is one of the most pure beauty brands on this list. Dedicated to cultivating anti-aging skincare (I spy a pattern forming with these natural beauty lines), Tata Harper is known for formulating and manufacturing everything at their farm in Vermont. Their Nourishing Oil Cleanser is supposed to be a real game changer.
Known for changing the organic beauty game by offering different hues for all women of color, Vapour Organic Beauty is easily my favorite brand on this list. Creating highly pigmented lipsticks, an array of foundations, and keeping their prices reasonable, this is an all-inclusive beauty line with elevated ethos. Excuse me while I go order the Siren Lipstick in every color.
Easily one of the most luxurious skincare lines included in this list. May Lindstrom creates gorgeous products that turn every time you wash your face into a cleansing ritual. The Honey Mud Mask is the perfect addition to your self-care regimen, plus it is 100% natural, gluten-free and made with organic ingredients.
I once received an Eminence Organics facial and it was incredible. Despite all the products being 100% natural and organic, it was extremely deep cleaning and detoxifying, giving me faith in the power of natural skincare. This is a pricier line, but I would recommend incorporating the Clear Skin Probiotic Masque on a regular basis.
I love NOTO Botanics for their take on natural beauty. A self-described “uni-sexy, multi-use, minimalist full body cosmetic line,” NOTO creates lush, herbal body products that are refresh and soothe your body. Their Agender Oil is amazing in the sense that it soothes and refreshes your whole body and is great for even putting in your hair, making it an ideal post-shave lotion for your bikini line on those hot summer days. Plus, 100% of the profits produced from the Agender Oil benefit a rotating circuit of organizations like Planned Parenthood, LGBT Youth Center, Women’s Center DTLA, and more. Talk about a win-win situation.
