My Favorite Clean Beauty
Did you know that our skin is our largest organ?
Up to 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our system.
With that in mind, it is so important that we are mindful of what we put on our skin. The dirty truth is that the FDA does not regulate the ingredients in skincare and makeup, so we must be conscious consumers and do our research (I’ve got you!).
The ingredients in our makeup and skincare are absorbed directly into our bodies, so we want the most nontoxic products, that are still effective. This means: no fragrance, no parabens, no phthalates, no talc, or aluminum.
Given that skincare, and maybe even makeup for you, is something we use every single day, I want to dive deeper into these products and recommend some of my favorite clean beauty items. Many of you requested this, so here we go!
Clean Skincare that’s super effective.
For skincare, I look for products made with plants, sustainable, cruelty free, and effective!
Osea Malibu products are made from organic seaweed and cold-pressed essential oils, are gluten free, vegan, and cruelty free. Some of my favorite Osea products are the Undaria Algae Body Oil (super fresh and moisturizing, but not greasy and great for stretch marks, too), Ocean Cleansing Milk, Black Algae Flash Mask, and the eye gel serum.
Cocokind products are organic, made with organic virgin coconut oil, cruelty-free, made without artificial fragrances, plus they're very affordable. I also love that they prioritize transparency and include sustainability facts and formula facts right on their label!
I especially love their revitalizing eye cream, mymatcha all over moisture stick (great as under eye brightener, lip balm, and any dry areas), and the mai-light rose highlighter stick. Plus, use code NWW for 10% your purchase!
For makeup, I look for products that are nontoxic, paraben free, sulfate free, petroleum free, fragrance free, non-comedogenic and are long-lasting!
Ilia is a women-owned natural, cutting-edge makeup line that focuses on bringing out your own natural beauty. It is fragrance free, silicon free, and boosted with skincare that shields skin from environmental stressors. They pride themselves on being an inclusive brand, and I love the extensive variety of shades their makeup comes in for all skin tones.
Some of my favorites from Ilia are the super serum skin tint SPF 40, true skin serum concealer, their award-winning limitless lash mascara (this is THE best mascara I’ve found, and trust me-I’ve tried them ALLL! Also great for sensitive eyes and does not flake-can I get an AMEN?!), and the multi stick (perfect for throwing in your purse, work bag, etc)!
