If you’re like us, you have your go-to beauty products that you love and use daily as part of your beauty routine. As an office full of women, we’re always exchanging tips, recommendations and new products to try. It’s come to our attention more and more that what we’re putting on our bodies may not be the best choices for our skin, body and hair, or for the environment.
We decided to look into some of the best brands that are sourcing quality ingredients – no more parabens, sulfates, microbeads, or cryptic words we can’t pronounce!
This brand is everything we love in personal care products – clean ingredients, yummy scents and chic packaging. The face oils and moisturizes are our favorites – they hydrate and cleanse without feeling heavy or sticky.
2. Acure
We found this company while browsing Amazon Prime options and it has become a staple for a lot of us in the office. Their shampoo and conditioner sets are our favorites – it’s safe for all hair types and color treated frocks (great news for an office full of blondies!) and their price point doesn’t break the bank. Winning.
3. Everyday Shea –
When it comes to body wash, we want a product that lathers well, smells good, is easy on our skin and makes us feel clean! Bonus if it’s a brand that also makes a difference in the world… enter: Everyday Shea. The Passion Fruit and Lavender scents top our soap list, and profits from each product sold go to help fund healthy childbirths for women in Africa. #winwin
4. EO –
We all know what a must have deodorant plays in our lives! But the more we learned about traditional deodorant the more we didn’t want to put it on skin, so the search for alternatives began. We came across this organic spray deodorant and haven’t looked back since. Keep a bottle of it in your purse in case you need a mid-day refresher. We find the citrus lasts long for us, but the lavender smells amazing as well!
5. Honest Beauty–
We buy and wear makeup for a variety of reasons – to accent features we like, to hide little flaws and to help us feel our best. What we don’t love about makeup is the clogged pores, dried out skin or breakouts that can occur as a result. We went on a hunt for makeup that makes us look good and FEEL good and we found Honest Beauty. Favorites so far include the concealer duo and matte lip crayons.
6. Boots –
Our favorite thing about Boots Botanics? It’s available at Target! Kidding. Kind of… Two of our favorite finds from them are their toning spray (hellllo refreshing rosewater!) and cleansing wipes. This is one of our favorite morning combos to prep your skin for the day.
7. Antonym Cosmetics –
With so many color additives and unknown ingredients in makeup products, we love that Antonym’s philosophy is to use natural and organic ingredients proven to be gentle on skin. This is especially important to us when it comes to what we put on and around our eyes! Their waterproof eye liner has been dermatologically approved to use on the inner eye rim, and their eye shadow kits are certified organic. The To The Moon and Black palette is perfect for winter!
