The Best Organic and Natural Products of 2018! Clean Fresh Beauty

12/31/2018

13 Comments

 
For so long the formations of organic and natural products were not meeting the needs of beauty lovers. But, over the last five years, so many small green businesses have been doing an amazing job at crafting non-toxic skin care and makeup products with luxurious textures and great results. SO, green beauty is having an amazing moment.

To be considered “natural,” the formula of beauty products must be free of metallic aluminum, triclosan, talc, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, silicones, polyethylene and polypropylene (microbeads), petrolatum, formaldehyde, toluene, and chemical sunscreens (such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octinoxate), BHT.

I tried many organic and natural beauty products and here is the list of the products I loved in 2018. These products will make your skin glow and make you feel great in your skin.

The Best Moisturizer
I have been using this Josh Rosebrook | Day Cream |. This day cream is a rescue facial cream. Every time I apply It, my skin becomes super nourished, smooth and soft. This day cream that contains organic evening primrose and almond oils that promote soft and healthy looking skin. These oils are also full of antioxidants to fight skin aging signs. This day cream also contains aloe vera to quench thirsty skin. 

One of the added bonus here: this cream doubles as a sunscreen; it is SPF-30 and contains 12% Zinc Oxide (Non Nano, Uncoated, Micronized). We so often forget to apply sunscreen during winter, but we need sunscreen all year round; this day cream make it so easy to have our sunscreen daily. Also, it applies without a white cast. No white cast on my  dark skin tone.

The Best Face Serum
The| Youth Serum| from  Honua Skin Care is just ammmmazzzing!! If you want to keep your glow this winter, you got to use this serum.  I used this serum in many different ways and it works great every time. I applied it when my skin felt tight and irritated and it calmed it. I had flaky patches that disappeared overnight after I applied this serum. I used it my moisturizer; it absorbs so quickly without stickiness which makes it perfect for skin care layering. 

Let's talk ingredients; one of my favorite things to do. Their main ingredients: { Aloalo & 'Awa} Firming, tightening and wrinkle relaxing. {Lau Comfrey } Amazing skin regenerator for youthful skin. {'Ōlena} Anti-inflammatory powerhouse and skin brightener {Noni } Magical skin healer, rich in anti-aging antioxidants,Vitamin C & Selenium to help will cell regeneration. When checking their ingredients list closer, I see that they use grapefruit seed extract (GSE) and Organic Rose a.k.a damask rose. GSE has amazing anti-aging properties. Damask rose has been used for centuries as a tonic to moisturize, hydrate, plump dry and mature skin. I also love that they use hydrosol organic damask rose. I feel like this serum will become one of my skin care staples

The Best Facial Wipes | Facial Cleanser
I love the  Ursa Major Facial Wipes. They have a lovely mint scent. These wipes are vegan, cruelty -free, and biodegradable. These wipes will remove dirt, makeup, or sweat that is on your face without drying it out. 

These wipes comes in individual packages with makes them very practical for trips or to carry around in your purse. These wipes are perfect for on-the-go lifestyle.

The Best Eye Cream
The Good Beauty Lab Medicine | Starry Eyes| has been a staple of facial care routine. This eye cream is amazing; it is perfect for long night and for dealing with dark under eye circles. It brighten my dark circles and nourish my skin at the same time.

Good Beauty Lab Medicine explains " When we formulated Starry Eyes we wanted a product that would rejuvenate and sustain healthy skin. Knowing that the skin around your eyes is very thin and vulnerable naturally missing essential fat or muscle, we specifically formulated Starry Eyes with a combination of ingredients generous in vitamins A, B, C all essential for  brightening dull discolored, lackluster skin. Butters and oils all designed to nourish and feed the skin and oxygen boosting ingredients to deliver nutrients.".

The Best Mask
Sometimes you try something and you're like "Yes!" That's a love affair. I wanted to share about this beautiful antioxidant face mask |Matcha Tea & Chamomile| from Plant Apothecary for a while. When I have these moments when my skin is sensitive and irritated, my pores are clogged, you name it; this mask works so great. 

​Second, this mask is so soothing and my skin is glowing and so soft after I use it. I found that this mask works with my skin instead of against it. It doesn't stress it or make it uncomfortable. For me, natural or organic products should work with our skin to detoxify and care for it. This mask is not for dry skin; it contains matcha green tea.

The Best Natural Mascara and Foundation
You know I am all about multi-tasking and multi-functional green products. If you have a busy schedule, you've got to invest in three high performing safe makeup products: your foundation, mascara, and lipstick/gloss.
Most of the time, 10 minutes is all we have to rock a solid makeup look for work or for going out. You makeup products need to do the heavy lifting for you. 

From their |Vita Active| silk foundation that has 9 shades to perfectly match your skin complexion including my bown skin/ dark skin complexion. ​I am in love with Fitglow Beauty products; on top of doing the heavy lifting for me, they also take care of my skin; they contain VITAMIN C, BOTANICAL HYALURONIC ACID, SEAWEED BRIGHTENERS, and BETA-CAROTENE to help with collagen production and skin elasticity. They also contain anti- aging ingredients. The brand is all about makeup products that love your skin.

Dealing with breakouts? I highly recommend using the Aspen Kay Naturals | Dead Sea Mud | soap. It works wonders. This handcrafted soap get 4.5 stars reviews on Amazon from 2,600 reviewers. So, I was so excited when I receive soap from  Aspen Kay Naturals. I love that make their soaps the traditional way and incorporate back glycerin into their soaps to create a non-drying soaps.

This dead sea mud handmade soap is just perfect. Dead sea mud has high concentrations of magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium to minimize pores; it draws out the impurities. I feel my pimples getting slightly smaller before they disappear. 

The formula here is amazing. Ingredients include Coconut Oil, Pure Dead Sea Mineral Mud From Israel, Certified Organic Unrefined Shea Nut Butter, Certified Organic Sunflower Oil, Activated Charcoal, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils of Lemongrass, Peppermint & Eucalyptus. It also contains RSPO Sustainable Palm Oil which is a certified sustainably grown palm oil. Palm oil production and harvesting can be devastating for the animals and the environment.

The Best Natural Deodorants
Green Tidings baking soda deodorants have been one me of favorite deodorants for years. It is so effective especially during the hot summer months. I have always purchased the lavender scented deodorants, but the one I received was the unscented one. And, I love it as well; the formula feels the same and it is as effective. 
​
Read my post about the best natural deodorants!

They use organic coconut oil & organic shea butter (Unrefined, Fair Trade) in their formula, so the deodorant applies very nicely; oh, it glides on my skin. I still avoid applying right after shaving because of the baking soda. I might like the unscented version even better.
