True Botanicals Review: Top 10 Products for 2024

Today is all about my True Botanicals Review. I am sharing my Top 10 True Botanicals products which includes some of their newest products that they have released.

Bringing you my True Botanicals Review! I originally found True Botanicals out of a need to find skincare that was not only effective but also had clean ingredients. This is one of the first clean beauty brands that literally changed the skincare scene for me 8 years ago. 

I wanted to share an updated True Botanicals review on this powerhouse line and what makes it different.  A lot has changed for this luxe line since I last reviewed it.  From product changes, name changes and new products-a lot’s been going on for True Botanicals!  I couldn’t be more excited for all the newness!

Affiliate Disclosure: I do have affiliate links in this blog post. If you purchase something from my link, I will receive a small commission from the sale.  This comes at no cost to you, but is paid by the company.  I do not take becoming an affiliate with any company lightly.  If I am, it’s because I believe in the company and their product.

***Keep in mind that my skin type is dry overall, so as I share about which products I use specifically from True Botanicals obviously I will love anything that will hydrate my skin and nourish it. What I love about the True Botanicals line is the variations in it – with their Renew, Clean and Calm Lines you are bound to find products to address your skincare needs.

Love the Moisture Lock Overnight Mask and the Chebula Active Immunity Serum!

Gurl Gone Green’s True Botanicals Review

True Botanicals Renew Pure Radiance Oil

1. Renew Pure Radiance Oil

Where do I start with this oil?  Gahh…I really love it.  It’s their number 1 product and for good reason.  It seeps right into your skin, leaves behind no greasy residue, and makes your skin feel hydrated throughout the day and night.  Besides being highly hydrating it also helps smooth wrinkles, shrink large pores and fight free radical damage.  I love the scent as well.  Not heavy at all, but with notes of frankincense, neroli, rose and jasmine. So many people are afraid of oils who suffer from acne.  Oils are actually necessary and help create balance in the skin.  This oil, as with all of TB’s products, is also available in the CLEAR Line and CALM Line.

2. Moisture Lock Overnight Mask

This mask really offers some serious hydration.  You cleanse your skin and apply your products as you would normally and then you apply the mask.  Instead of rinsing it off you sleep in it!  When you wake up your skin is silky smooth and moisturized.  It’s like a big gulp of water for your skin. I put down a hand towel on my pillow so the product didn’t get on my pillow case.  But it really does soak into the skin so well you hardly notice anything.  I can’t think of a better product for your skin in the dry winter months!  It literally nourishes the skin so well.  I noticed minimized redness too.

3. Pacific Glacial Clay Detoxifying Mask

This mask contains some 5 star ingredients to help purify your skin.  The first is Glacial Oceanic Clay- this is a silt that is made up of over 60 minerals and earth elements. It detoxifies your skin, yet still leaves the moisture intact- something that is so hard to find in a detox mask!  It does this because the glacial oceanic clay uses osmotic strength and moves moisture up from deep inside the skin to the surface.

This mask also has the beloved olive oil derived squalane that not only helps to regulate oil production but soften the skin overall and tone it.  It helps to protect your skin by locking in moisture.  Activated bamboo charcoal is another active ingredient in the mask, helping to remove skin impurities, toxins, heavy metals and dirt.  Your skin feels so smooth!  I love using this mask at night when my skin needs some TLC after a day in the elements.  I apply it to clean dry skin.  Then I let it sit on my skin for 15 minutes. I love using this mask a couple times a week to really help purify it.  It’s like a good skin purge! 

4. Pure Radiance Body Oil

I’m obsessed with this body oil!  It literally is so luxurious.  It smells like sandalwood, cedarwood and orange.  I love how it comes in a pump form- easy application.  It is filled with so many antioxidants and fatty acids that make this a power packed oil, while at the same time a very nourishing and hydrating oil.  But get this- it doesn’t feel greasy, not at all!  It glides on your skin effortlessly but doesn’t leave that slimy feeling.  Once you try it, you’ll be hooked!

True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum

5. Chebula Active Serum

Chebula is an ayurvedic fruit known to have huge antioxidant benefits.  Specifically helping with skin and aging.  It helps to counteract it by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, evening skin tone, smoothing out the skin overall, as well as brightening the skin and bringing a firmness to it.  It’s basically like your skins newest bestie when it comes to an anti-aging serum!  Plus, it has even more antioxidants in it from elderberry, ginger, and echinacea. I apply this morning and night after the nutrient mist.  It helps to prep the skin before any oils.  It really helps to blurb fine lines and fill in cracks.  My skin feels supple and hydrated.

6. Chebula Extreme Cream

It uses Chebula, a breakthrough bio-active antioxidant that fights five signs of aging. I have dry skin and so this works for me both morning and night.  The texture feels like a creamy whipped texture.  It instantly melts into your skin and doesn’t feel greasy at all.  The best part?  My skin literally feels hydrated for the whole day!  I touch my skin at 5 pm after putting it on early in the morning and it still feels so supple and moisturized.  It has anti-aging super powers that take it to the next level.  Plus, major skin barrier benefits that really protect the skin and keep moisture levels intact.  All of this without the pore clogging waxes you may have been used to in the past!

My V.A. who also has dry skin agreed! Here is what she said “It is so creamy and the perfect amount of hydration for my skin. I typically wear a cream in the morning and night because of how dry my skin is and this literally makes it all day and my skin is still feeling so moisturized. Plus, I can have a tendency to get breakouts at times, so knowing it has no pore clogging waxes like other creams moves it straight to the top of my list of face creams.”

True Botanicals Resurrection Radiance  Eye Cream

7. Resurrection Radiance Eye Cream

I’m not typically one for eye creams because I find they can get heavy and weigh down the eye area, however, this one is different.  It is a cream but instantly melts into your under eye area.  It not only brightens, but helps with dark circles, and fine lines and wrinkles.  It’s power packed!  Oh and did I mention puffiness too?!  It has a unique tea tree bark extract that helps to address dark circles at the root.  All while Turmeric, Coffee and Licorice Extracts help to brighten and de-puff. And it’s pregnancy safe!!  So you can bet this mama used it when I was pregnant!  I even use a little in the morning before I apply my makeup and it soaks right in.  My eye area looks more revived and awake and my makeup goes on so smoothly.  A total eye game changer!

8. Vitamin C Booster

 I love this Vitamin C Booster for targeting dark spots on my face.  What really makes it unique is that it comes in powder form and isn’t activated until you add a liquid to it.  This keeps the Vitamin C very potent!  Most Vitamin C’s you get are not that potent by the time you purchase it off the shelf.  Vitamin C can be affected by so many variables, from light, to heat and then sitting on the shelf for too long.  Not only does it contain Vitamin C but also Ferulic Acid, so you get amazing cell turnover and brighter skin overall. You can mix it with your favorite serum or moisturizer.  I like mixing it with a serum. I apply one or two shakes of the Vitamin C Booster with a few pumps of serum.  Then mix together and apply to skin.

True Botanicals Nature Bathing Bath Soak

9. Nature Bathing Bath Soak

This transports in an instant when you use it in your bath.  I felt like I was being pampered right in my own bathroom.  I used the Garden Scent and it smelled pleasant but not overwhelming.  It has a bright pink hue to it.  Aloe powder and jojoba oil really moisturize the skin.  It helps relax me while I use it and helps me unwind after a long day.  Totally addicted!  

10. Microbiome Enzyme Essence

This is unlike any other product I’ve used!  It delivers essential prebiotics to the skin- feeding the good bacteria, but also helps to lightly resurface the skin at the same time.  You are left with dewy, glowing skin!  When I first learned about it I was so intrigued.  They described it as gut health but on your skin.  It’s creating a healthy skin microbiome, where skin can thrive.  Skin barrier is strengthened, and inflammation minimized.  Your skin is also able to absorb nutrients when it’s in a healthy place.  I apply two-three shakes to my hands and then press on my face.  I noticed an overall brighter complexion and my serums absorbed so much better.

What Are The Key Ingredients in True Botanicals Products?

When I think of True Botanicals as a brand, what sticks out to me is a luxe anti-aging line.  Using the most potent ingredients, True Botanicals spares no expense when it comes to creating their products.  From their creams, to their oils, they are filled with the best vitamin rich ingredients that contain key extracts to help care for and target wrinkles. 

They care about quality and seeing products that actually perform, while at the same time are safe.  A truly unique company in the green beauty industry.  True Botanicals takes their sourcing very seriously.  Sourcing certified organic and wild-harvested ingredients, they make sure from start to finish that the ingredient is both sustainable for the planet and for the community. 

They use plant-derived peptides, antioxidant rich oils, soothing ceramides, plant based oils and other natural extracts. The scents of their products are some of the best.  Nothing is too strong but smells fresh and real.  I also love how they do clinical tests on their products.  Something that is rare among the natural skincare industry.  Proven results, with clean ingredients-what more could you want?  Oh and I can’t forget to mention that all their products come in frosted glass bottles, can you say luxurious?  Not only do they make skincare products but also some stellar body products.

The new Chebula Extreme Cream and Chebula Extreme Eye Cream are next level…so good!

What Makes True Botanicals Different?

True Botanicals goal is to create beauty products you can feel good about, but are also effective for your skin and safe for the environment.  They are constantly reading the latest research, seeking out the botanicals to ensure their formulas are the best they can be for the skin.  They let science do the talking and follow suite. 

The founder Hillary Peterson’s mission when starting True Botanicals still rings true today.  After being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, she was on a mission to discover products that would be pure and potent.  She did just that.  This is what makes True Botanicals so different and what makes them a clean beauty company.  They believe that we can get the skincare results we crave, without the unnecessary toxins.

Is True Botanicals Cruelty Free?

True Botanicals is cruelty free, but they are so much more than that! They are also Leaping Bunny Certified, meaning they are a cruelty free brand AND do not contain genetically modified organisms.

True Botanicals was also one of the first companies to become Made Safe Certified.  A new certification done by third party testing that ensures 6,500 toxins stay out of their products. 

I was also excited when I saw Olivia Wilde join True Botanicals as a spokesperson back in 2017.  You often see celebrities endorse conventional beauty brands but I was ecstatic to see Olivia Wilde choose to support True Botanicals.  I love this quote by her:

“These are leaders of a movement that I have been passionate about for a long time, and they’re actually doing it, and I really wanted to be a part of it.”-Olivia Wilde

When you have research to back up your claims like True Botanicals, you know you are using top notch skin care!

Does True Botanicals Really Work?

Yes, True Botanicals does work and you don’t have to take my word for it because there is actual research to prove it! True Botanicals prides themselves in backing up their claims with research. They work with leading researchers from Carnegie Mellon and Cornell, to ensure they are creating products that are full of actives that change the skin.  From antioxidants to vitamins and essential fatty acids.  

They want to address the common skincare concerns like wrinkles, redness and breakouts. They let the research speak for itself with third party testing done on products to make sure they are performing optimally.

These are just two of my top 10 True Botanicals Products

Check out some of their third party test results below:

True Botanicals was started by Hillary Peterson.  She was a long time lover of luxury skincare.  However, she realized the price she was paying for luxury skincare also cost her toxic ingredients.  Having been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, she knew a change needed to be made.  After 8 years of research with chemists, studying botanicals and talking with sustainability experts, she created True Botanicals. Her goal was to make skincare products that were not only effective but clean.  Well she did it and since then has won some awards…

True Botanicals’ rule-breaking approach to luxury skin care and ability to bring together superior results and safety has earned it ELLE magazine’s coveted Genius award and placement at several of the world’s top spas. 

Unilever does own a minority stake in True Botanicals, however, True Botanicals is still privately owned.

They have 4 different lines depending on your skin type.  RENEW is for Normal skin to dry skin, CLEAR is for acne-prone, CALM is for rosacea- prone skin and Pregnancy is for well you guessed it- when you’re pregnant.  They also have a pregnancy collection.  So you don’t need to think twice about what skincare line to use when pregnant. I mean what more could you want?  A clean and effective skincare line when you’re pregnant?  Sign me up!

And there you have it! My True Botanicals Review including my picks for their Top 10 products.

      Hi Lauren,

      I would definitely lean towards True Botanicals and Beautycounter if your concern is aging. I also love Maya Chia. Their Straight A Serum is great for targeting fine lines. 🙂
