After the year 2020, we have all become more conscious about making our lifestyle choices. The last year showed a shift in consumer behavior from fast products to more organic ones. We all know that what you put in becomes a part of your body, but our skin has pores, so what you put on your body also has a significant impact on the type of skin you have.
Although many products still have a chemical-laden ingredients list, there is also a growth in natural or organic cosmetic brands that also have an environmentally friendly ethos and refuse to test on animals.

So before we reveal where to lay your hands on such brands, let’s have a quick look at what an ideal “clean” product should, and shouldn’t be.
Chemical-free – this means no parabens or phthalates (said to disrupt hormones) and no formaldehyde or bismuth oxychloride (said to irritate the skin)
Vegan and cruelty-free
FDA/ Third-party approved
Organic certified
Free of mineral oils and silicones
Clinically tested
Hypoallergenic
Environmentally- friendly in terms of ingredients, production and packages.
So, in pursuit of living simpler, more natural lives, here are our 5 favorite organic beauty brands that will give you a different glow as it comes ethically!
