Scrub a dub dub! Don’t settle for alligator skin come wintertime. This coconut cream cleanser meets gentle body scrub helps exfoliate dead skin cells and toxins while you sing in the shower. Use regularly to keep skin soft and moisturized.
Fruits/Shoots: Jojoba, Tamanu, Shea
Nontoxic, full-saturation lipsticks in sultry shades?! Yesss! These perfectly pouty shades of lip tint are unlike any all-natural lipsticks we’ve tried. The colors are rich and add long-lasting shine to your lips using only healthy fatty acids and a non-petroleum base.

A quick reboot to your eyes is all you need to get the day started after a long night or a long trip. Pop open one of these collagen-boosting undereye packs, which also contain vitamins C and E, and gently press under eyes for 20 to 25 minutes. Arbutin, which is often derived from the bearberry or blueberry plants, is a natural skin-lightening agent.
Fruits/Shoots: Avocado, Lemon
This foamy cleanser helps wake you up in the morning with a naturally zingy lemon scent. The body mousse is so moisturizing that it doubled as a shaving cream and made our tester’s skin feel hydrated and happy, not dried out, as with many regular soaps. Comes in seven scents.

Every purchase benefits PETA, to secure animal welfare.

Fruits/Shoots: Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Rosemary
If you’ve ever struggled with acne, we have a surprising news flash for you: You may just need to replace the harsh cleansers and three-step solutions with the right cleansing oil. Many brands have jumped on the cleansing-oil trend, but Green Goo does it without hidden chemicals, petroleum-based ingredients, sulphates, or phthalates. In fact, this formula has only seven ingredients—including olive oil, jojoba oil, and rosemary. Protect your face’s own oils so your skin doesn’t feel the need to ramp up its oil production. Simple, radiant, and natural.
Fruits/Shoots: Beetroot Powder, Shea, Beeswax
OMG beetroot! This “a little goes a long way” all-natural blush is a fantastic alternative to chemical-laden makeup. Even though it’s a cream blush, it leaves zero residue and is light and long-lasting. The natural flush you’ll dab on comes from organic beetroot powder, and the just-enough moisture comes from added vitamins A and E. It comes in two surprisingly universal and versatile colors, for all skin complexions. So get glowing!
Fruits/Shoots: Jasmine, Grapefruit, Sage
A highly effective spray antiperspirant that skips the additives you’ll find in many deodorants like aluminum, silica, and parabens. Instead, organic essential oils—like grapefruit oil, which is a natural antiseptic, and sage oil, which has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties—limit perspiration and odor-causing bacteria effectively.
