It can be time-consuming to sort through all of the brands out there claiming to be organic or clean. And then there’s the question of whether the products are effective. After receiving so many questions about the brands I trust, I decided to create this curated lineup of products to share the tried-and-true items in my clean beauty routine that I have loved for years and know you will, too!
All products are free of parabens, petroleum, silicone, sulfates, phthalates, talc, and synthetic fragrances and dyes, meeting my strict ingredient standards.
I support companies that are changing the beauty industry by committing to actions like using ethically-sourced ingredients, offering reusable packaging, or offseting their carbon emissions. Many are women-owned and all create products that show they walk the talk. Some of the links are through my affiliate partners and I will receive a small commission for any items you choose to purchase. As always, I enjoy making personalized product recommendations, so don’t hesistate to reach out with questions. Happy shopping!
HAIR
Rahua Moisturizing Shampoo
Gentle, yet effective cleansing – no greasy roots here. Curly hair and color-approved. I adore the line’s Palo Santo-scented products.
Rare El’ements Essential Conditioner
This luxuriously thick and deeply hydrating conditioner makes my thick, dry curls bounce back to life. Worth every penny if you struggle with brittle, tangled coils. I also use as a mask.
Daily Conditioner
Lightweight enough to use as a co-wash yet still has slip to detangle and smooth.
When I’ve sinned against my curls, I slather on this oil loaded with ayurvedic herbs to revive my curls back to their smooth, bouncy selves. Hallelujah.
This super rich styler results in defined, plump spirals with soft hold. I finger-twist for even more definition.
Evolvh SmartVolume Leave-in Conditioner
Gives me giant, lifted curls for an undone, wild look. It’s also UV protective, perfect for a beach day.
A goddess-send! Tackles my gnarliest tangles with minimal snagging. No more guttoral screams of rage while trying to brush my hair in the shower!
SKINCARE
Josh Rosebrook Complete
Moisture Cleanser
A gentle, lightweight cleanser loaded with nourishing herbs and extracts. Plus, all JR products smell incredible!
Pai Camellia & Rose
Gentle Hydrating Cleanser
Rich cleanser, great for sensitive and dry skin. My go-to cleanser during winter.
My favorite exfoliant. Smells like cookies. Gives skin a shot of vitamin c.
Mun Aknari Brightening Serum
The most effective serum I’ve ever used to even my skin tone and educe hyperpigmentation. Apply before bed and fall asleep to the divine scent of rose.
Kypris Antioxidant Dew
The hydrating, do-it-all serum for glowy skin! I use solo on hot days or underneath moisturizer for extra dewy, glowing skin.
This mask is my “reset button”. It works as gentle peel and my face is brighter and fine lines are noticeably smoothed after each use.
It’s tinted which is great for deeper skin tones to avoid a white cast from most sunscreens. Doubles as a lightweight foundation.
I use this as a light exfoliator, gentle enough to use everyday.
MAKEUP
Alima Pure Satin Matte Foundation
With 40+ shades, EVERYONE can find a perfect match. I wear Beige 4 & 5.
Ecobrow Defining Wax
This wax fills in brows while still looking natural. I wear shade “Liz”.
Lily Lolo Vegan Mascara
A smudge-proof natural mascara is tough to find, but this one stays put and thickens lashes with zero flakes.
Rituel de Fille Inner Glow Creme Pigment
Their “Lovesick” blush looks good on all skintones and is perfect for the everyday hint of color.
RMS Living Luminizer
This highlighter is my secret weapon to brighten my complexion. A staple for your 5 min. makeup routine.
Kjaer Weis Cream Foundation
Provides more coverage for a flawless complexion that still remains natural. I blend with a bit of face oil for a dewy finish.
Ilia Lip Conditioner in “Jump”
“Wheeee!” This is the noise I make when I wear this buildable cool magenta shade. Makes your teeth look brighter!
BODY
Better Shea Butter
Irritated skin, wrinkles, sunburn, dry hair – just about anything can be solved with nutrient rich Shea butter. Use solo or great to have on hand for hair and skin DIYs.
Banyan Botanicals Nasya Oil
Alleviate alleries and congested sinuses with this nasal oil blend, rooted in Ayurveda. Sounds a lil’ crazy, but it works!
