The best natural skin-care products you can buy

Published by Business Insider on Tue, 22 Oct 2019


Natural skin care is becoming more and more popular, and there are tons of excellent skin-care products to choose from.But "natural" has a broad term that many brands and watchdog organizations have various definitions for, so it's important to learn about ingredients and recognize which ones are harmful or questionable.To help, we tried natural skin-care products from a variety of brands to find the best cleanser, toner, serum, facial moisturizer with SPF, and night cream.Natural skin care has exploded over the past few years as people become increasingly aware of all the chemicals they're putting on their skin and into their bodies. The rise in demand for natural skin-care products means there is now a better selection of higher quality products available, so whether you're a die-hard natural beauty lover or just want to detoxify your skin-care routine, there are plenty of great options for you. Traditional skin-care products can often contain potentially harmful chemicals that can irritate skin, so you should look for products that are formulated with natural ingredients and without questionable chemicals. But since there's no official definition for the term "natural," you should be aware that even if a brand claims to be natural, it doesn't necessarily mean it's true. It's important to check ingredients and watch out for parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and formaldehyde, as well as mineral oil, artificial fragrance, and silicones. You can also check the EWG Skin Deep Cosmetics Databasefor moredetail.It's understandably hard to know which natural skin-care product to incorporate into your routine. So, to make your life easier, we've tested the best natural products on the market, checked ingredients, and researched hundreds of expert and buyer reviews to come up with our top picks for the best natural cleanser, toner, serum, SPF moisturizer, and night cream.Here are our top picks for the best natural skin-care products:Best cleanser: Acure Brightening Cleansing GelBest toner: Thayer's Alcohol-Free Rose Petal TonerBest serum: Eminence Rosehip Triple C+E Firming OilBest facial sunscreen: Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face SunscreenBest night cream: Farmacy Sleep Tight Firming Night BalmYou can also check out our guide to the best natural makeup brands.Updated 10/22/19 by Jada Wong: Updated prices, links, and formatting.SEE ALSO:The best natural makeup you can buyThe best natural cleanserIf you're looking for an effective, but gentle natural cleanser that leaves skin glowing, the Acure Brightening Cleansing Gel is a winner and a steal.Acure's super-gentle cleanser is packed with natural, organic, and safe non-toxic ingredients, such as pomegranate, blackberry, and aai berries, which are designed to leave skin feeling refreshed and looking radiant. The Acure Brilliantly Brightening Cleansing Gel has a low pH so it shouldn't irritate your skin either, which is great for anyone with sensitive skin. Its naturally-derived fruity scent is divine, and in testing, I found the gel formula foams up nicely and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.It's not just me who loves the Acure Brilliantly Brightening Cleansing Gel. It gets top marks on Rank and File and Byrdie, and has great reviews from Amazon shoppers.One happy customer writes, "My favorite facial cleanser! It has such a refreshing citrus scent that will really help to wake you up in the morning and it does not leave my skin feeling tight or dry. It is good at removing light makeup as well. A little goes a long way which makes this stuff a bargain! Clean ingredients and affordable to boot."Acure also has a great serum, moisturizer, and night cream, so if you end up loving the Brilliantly Brightening Cleansing Gel, we'd also recommend checking out the company's other products.Pros: Great price, vegan, cruelty free, free of potentially harmful chemicals, good for normal to oily skinCons: Not suitable for the eye areaThe best natural tonerSimple but effective natural ingredients make Thayer's Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Toner our favorite toner.Thayer's simple and gentle alcohol-free skin toner is derived from a Native American formula of easily recognizable ingredients, including certified organic witch hazel extract to help tighten and smooth, aloe vera juice to add moisture, and rose water to help soften the skin and give it a healthy glow. It also includes lots of vitamin C, which can help promote collagen production, strengthen skin cells, and lighten blemishes and scars. This toner is good for all skin types including sensitive and acneic skin types. It can also be used as a cleansing water or mid-day refresh. Although we chose the Rose version of the toner, it also comes in Lavender, Cucumber, Aloe Vera, and Original scents as well.In testing, Thayer's Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Toner had a delicate rose scent and felt great on my sensitive skin. It comes in a big bottle so it'll definitely last a long time. It's always great to find a natural product that's effective and super cheap, and I now use it as part of my daily skin-care routine.And it's not just us who love this product eitherit's highly rated on Buzzfeed and Byrdie.Pros: Multi-purpose, non-drying, good for all skin types, inexpensiveCons: NoneThe best natural serumIf you want brighter, firmer skin in a bottle, then the Eminence Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil is hard to beat.Eminence's all-in-one serum packs a punch. It contains a powerful blend of natural and organic ingredients, including rosehip oil to help alleviate redness, vitamin C to help brighten the complexion, and vitamin E to help combat free radicals. There are no parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, or other questionable chemicals in the serum. Dermatologists and beauty bloggers rave about vitamin C serums because it's a powerhouse ingredient that can help stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and reduce the signs of aging. This particular serum uses a fat-soluble form of vitamin C, which is considered more easily absorbed than water-soluble forms.I love the Eminence Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil. In testing, I found that you only need a couple of drops and it absorbs quickly. It felt light on my face, plus it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. My skin felt tighter and looked brighter straight away. It's definitely expensive, but the effects made the price worth it for me.It also comes highly recommended by Skincare Ox and W Magazine. Dermstore shoppers give it 5 out of 5 stars with one reviewer saying, "It is the best oil I've used thus far."Eminence also has great line-up in general, so if you end up loving the Eminence Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil, we'd also recommend its other products.Pros: Paraben-free, certified cruelty-free, suitable for all skin types including sensitive skinCons: ExpensiveThe best moisturizer with SPFIf you're on the hunt for a natural daily moisturizer that protects you from the sun, then the Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen is a great pick.It's even more important to make sure your face is protected from the sun during the summer. The Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen is full of natural antioxidants from green tea, pomegranate, and red algae. It also contains zinc oxide, which is super effective for sun protection.The multitasking natural mineral formula acts as a moisturizer, sunscreen, make-up primer, and even a tinted moisturizer. Most important, it offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays with SPF 3 and doesn't contain potentially harmful chemicals. It's available in five shadesLight, Fair, Medium, Golden Light, and Sand.In testing, I chose "Light," which looked natural on my skin. Although the formula is thicker than standard moisturizers, it doesn't feel sticky once it sinks into skin. It is on the expensive side, but it's worth the price as it doubles as a moisturizer and even a sheer foundation for a no-makeup look.It's not only me who thinks the Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen is a great product. It gets top marks on EWG's list of Best Moisturizers with SPF, and it's one of Allure's favorite natural beauty brands too. Suntegrity also gets great reviews on Amazon with one reviewer saying, "It's my must-have daily beauty item."Suntegrity also has a great cleansing oil and serum, both of which we'd recommend.Pros: Great for summer, fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free, good for acne-prone skinCons: PriceyThe best natural night creamThe Farmacy Sleep Tight Firming Night Balmdelivers smoother, firmer skin overnight with its rich naturalformula.Beauty sleep is not a myth. Your skin repairs itself during the night, and that's when you'll get maximum impact from what you put on your skin. However, there are many night creams that actually do more harm than good as they can impede the rejuvenation process.Our winning product is actually a balm. The Farmacy Sleep Tight Firming Night Balm is formulated from botanical extracts and acts as a plant-based alternative to retinoid. It helps enhance your skin's renewal process, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, and increase firmness. It includes Echinacea, a botanical ingredient that contains a high concentration of cichoric acid to help maintain youthful-looking skin. It's suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin.The gentle balm formula turns into a gel-oil hybrid when it comes in contact with your skin. In testing, I found it didn't completely absorb and felt greasy, so you only need a really small amount. The next morning, my skin felt so soft and it didn't have a negative reaction to the oilier-than-usual formula. After a few days, my fine lines seemed smoother.Don't just take my word for it though. The Farmacy Sleep Tight Firming Night Balm comes recommended by Spy and Sephora shoppers report smoother, more radiant complexions even with acne-prone skin.One buyer wrote, "I was skeptical about the less traditional texture but woke up with very soft and smooth skin."Farmacy also has a great cleansing balmand moisturizer, both of which we'd recommend if you like this balm.Pros: Suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin, cruelty-freeCons: Some might find it feels greasy on skinCheck out our other skin-care guidesThe best makeup remover you can buyIt's good for your skin to remove makeup every night, but it can be a pain without the right makeup remover.We've done our research and tested the best makeup removers on the market to come up our top recommendations.
