I’m back with some of my other favorite natural beauty products! It’s crazy how much toxic crap we’ve been slathering onto our bodies our whole lives, but it ends now! You can buy most of these through Target or Amazon, which makes the switch to natural products so much easier. Target is actually killing it lately in terms of adding more natural products (beauty & household) to their shelves. Here’s what I’m using lately:
Pacifica, Kale Detox Deep Cleaning Face Wash
This is the perfect daily face wash. 100% vegan and cruelty-free, it’s an exhilarating wash that will wake your face right up. I’ve been using this for a few months (with the Acure scrub listed below) and although it’s good to switch it up every once in a while, I’ll keep this one in the rotation for a long time!
Pacifica, Aquarian Gaze Water-Resistant Long Lash Mineral Mascara
Natural mascaras that don’t suck are hard to find. I’m mixing it with this conventional mascara (dirty but so, so good). At $14 a pop, it’s about twice as expensive as conventional, but worth it for the peace of mind! I am mildly paranoid that my affinity for eye makeup is going to make me go blind, which I know is insane, but either way, it’s time to make the switch!
Pacfica, Mineral Sunscreen Coconut Probiotic (SPF 30)
Probably should have gotten a higher SPF, since I am a fair as the pure driven snow, but this (non-aerosol!) spray smells great and provides awesome coverage. Even though I am so white I often get confused for a vampire or ghost, I HATE putting on sunscreen, so sprays are a lifesaver! I’m not about that skin cancer life!
Acure, Morccan Red Clay + Argan Oil Pore-Clarifying Facial Scrub
This is my favorite gentle exfoliator that I’ve found. The red clay offers just the right amount of scrubbing power, leaving the skin soft and supple.
Oui Fresh, lip gloss in “Lovefool”
This lipgloss is the tiniest hint of pink and packs a huge punch of moisture! It smells like vanilla, goes on like a dream, and most importantly: ISN’T STICKY! I love that these lipglosses double as a lip treatment—you can even put them on before bed at night!
Aila, Nail Polish in “Supernova”
My dream nail color. This collaboration with Oui Fresh is 10-free—as in, free of 10 of the most harmful ingredients found in conventional nail polish! I haven’t actually used this yet (mostly because I have to buy a 10-free top coat to go with it), but from demos I’ve seen online and my own inspection, it’s amazing! I’ve heard so many good things about this brand!
Burt’s Bees, Micellar Water
I tried this at my friend’s house in Florida and it saved my life all week. As soon as my micellar water runs out, I’m running to replace it with this. Obviously, the love affair with Burt’s Bees is real, but this product is exceptional. It made my face feel so clean!
S.W. Basics, Cream
This is a heavy oil moisturizer for those days when your skin feels extra thirsty. It’s not my every day go-to, but it was a great companion all winter. S.W. Basics, fun fact, is the company owned by Adina Grigore, who wrote Just The Essentials!
JASON, Sea Fresh Toothpaste
My friend in Florida also stocked this toothpaste and I’m stoked on it. We’re using this at the moment, but I’m thinking of switching it up!
Schmidt’s, Rose & Vanilla Natural Deodorant
I’m going to try Lavender & Sage next time (the Bergamot Lime made me rashy which SUCKS because it smells amazing), but this deodorant smells soooo good, and doesn’t irritate my skin! I have it in a mini-size, and use it as my travel deodorant.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by!
