The cold hard truth is…we don’t have all of the answers. Putting together an everyday routine is a personal experience that should include a dermatologist appointment, so you know exactly what ingredients to avoid and/or gravitate toward.

To the contrary, we also understand that everyone isn’t afforded the same access, which means a lot of trial and error is the alternative. Although there are a slew of big-name brands that we could recommend, those with sensitive skin may require something a little more down to earth, literally.

The beauty of plant-based brands is that they’re made with stuff you can find in nature and nothing else. When you choose to invest in products that are free of hard-to-pronounce man made ingredients, you can quickly research the benefits behind each one and better determine how your skin will react to it. The industry is laden with countless synthetic-free options, but these seven should definitely be on your radar if they aren’t already.
Biossance
Biossance
Last year, this biotech brand made its Sephora debut and has since become one of its top-selling skin care collections. What makes it such a hit with eco-conscious consumers is the fact that over 2,000 harmful ingredients are blacklisted and the packaging is reusable. Its hero ingredient is squalane oil, not to be confused with squalene, a moisturizer derived from shark liver oil. Instead of harming animals and the environment to get a hold of this hydrator, the minds behind Biossance created a plant-based version that’s just as effective on the skin and hair.

There’s this underlying assumption that plant-based or organic products are pricey. As someone who is fully immersed in the world of hair, skin and makeup, I can tell that is 100% false. Like its mainstream counterparts, clean beauty products exist on a very wide cost spectrum that includes the drugstore. One of our favorites–Botanics–makes a range of face products, all of which fall under $20.
