It’s that time of month again! Best of natural beauty March edition is here. Every month I’m sharing some new natural beauty products with you. These could new releases, new to me or just products I’ve started to use again with the season change. If you haven’t noticed natural beauty is only getting better and better every year! The industry is growing wildly and I’m so here for it.
This month I’ve got some fun new releases I’m excited to share with you! I’m talking about a new natural mascara fave, a new natural cleanser, a new tinted moisturizer/foundation, plus a moisturizer that is giving me life. Check out all the goodness below!
This was seriously love at first swipe! Finding a good natural mascara can sometimes seem like a task. However, in recent years formulas have just gotten better with time. I love how easy it is to get lift and pigment with this mascara. It doesn’t take 20 swipes to really get some product on your lashes. AND it does everything! Yes, you heard me right. From giving my lashes lift, volume, separation and length. The only thing I’ve noticed was a few black specks around my eyes after working out heavily. I’m a sweater and have beads of sweat coming from my forehead after a workout- so mascara in general doesn’t always stand a chance. It’s not a big deal and isn’t running off my face but I did want to mention that. It also comes in a glass tube which I’ve never seen and love. Such a eco-friendly alternative to plastic. I’m sure more companies will start doing this! I wanted to mention that the mascara is made for sensitive eyes. So if you do find a lot of mascaras irritate you, you might want to check out this one. Get the mascara here!
Wow, Aillea sent me this cleanser and let’s just say I was so impressed after the first use. This is what I expect from my cleanser. I want it to remove all my makeup and not leave any residue- this includes mascara. I want to be able to just rinse it off with water and not have to use a washcloth. Now most oil cleansers you need a washcloth and I’m not saying I don’t love oil cleansers but overall I prefer a cleanser that doesn’t require an extra step like using a washcloth in this season of my life(hello baby, a 3 year old and a 5 year old). So you can imagine my delight when I used this cleanser for the first time and it removed all my makeup- yes even the stubborn mascara and rinsed off with water. Plus, my skin still felt hydrated and had a subtle glow to it. The only other cleanser that really hits all the marks for me is Beautycounter’s Countertime Cleansing Oil. It does all of the things I mentioned above as well. So if you’re needing a good cleanser- look no further! Get the Beuti Glow Enzyme Cleanser here!
This natural beauty moisturizer by Alpyn Beauty is the perfect day or nighttime moisturizer.
I had to include this moisturizer in the best of natural beauty for March. Another product I received from Aillea and can’t stop using! It has the perfect weight for a moisturizer. Not too heavy, but moisturizing enough so your skin doesn’t feel dry. I’ve been applying this at night over my serum and oil for an extra boost of hydration. My skin feels supple and moist. I’ve also used it for a day moisturizer and love how my skin feels. My makeup goes on easily but doesn’t feel cakey. I love that it not only has ceramides but also squalene, Vitamin C and even some plant-derived retinol. If you’re not familiar with ceramides allow me to explain. They are lipids that help form the skin barrier, while helping the skin keep hydration and moisture. You want ceramides in your skincare. It’s basically a nutrient dense moisturizer that not only offers the perfect amount of hydration but also feeds your skin at the same time. My skin looks brighter after using. After I had been using it for a while I started to read more about it and wasn’t shocked when I saw it was given 5 stars from everyone! This is a moisturizer everyone could use. Get the Alpyn Moisturizer here!
This serum packs a serious punch for fine lines and wrinkles.
This is Maya Chia’s newest product. I’ve been using it for 3 weeks. I always hesitate to talk about a skincare product right away because I like to give it time. If it’s one thing I tell people it’s that skincare products take time! Yes, you can know if you like something as far as texture or feel but serums and oils really take a while to see results. That being said I have been using this for a bit and definitely can speak to the overall experience of it. It contains the plant retinol bakuchiol which I’ve used before in other skincare products and it also contains moth bean extract- another plant derived retinol. But it also contains an advanced retinol using an encapsulated Retinol. This is a derivative of Vitamin A without BHT. BHT has been shown to cause live damage in rats even in small amounts. Plus, the supply chain with BHT is very unstable. Besides the powerful retinols it also contains Vitamin C and Vitamin E. These brighten the skin and help fade hyperpigmentation. You’re also going to get some serious hydration from this serum with Buriti oil, and chia seed oil. I’ve only been using this for a bit because they advise not to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. I’ve heard from other bloggers how amazing it is as well. I’ll be sure to test it when I’m done nursing. Get the serum here!
So spring break is here for most people, and even though some of us are staying home I wanted to share this product. You’re going to need it for warm summer months! This is an all over body shimmer oil but it doesn’t leave you feeling greasy like many body oils. Also the shimmer isn’t glittery but just a nice subtle glow. This would be perfect for applying all over your skin before the beach or on a date night where you’re wearing a dress and want to snazz it up a bit. It smells citrusy and fresh. I know I’ll be applying this all the time to my legs especially in the summer! Get it here!
This mask still remains one of my faves in natural beauty after all these years!
This is not a new product but one I couldn’t not mention since it’s been in my skincare rotation as of late nonstop. Admittedly I do go through phases with masks. Right now I can’t get enough of Leahlani’s Mermaid Mask. My skin is loving it. It really gives my skin all that it needs right now, plus a glow afterwards that I can’t deny. I love the smell too. You really feel transported to the islands where this mask is made. It’s a whole experience as you can tell. Many people ask what mask they should buy when transitioning to green beauty and this is it! I promise you will love it and thank me. It is a little piece of heaven. With ingredients like Chlorella, sea buckthorn, spirulina and raw honey, this mask is pure decadence. A lot of masks moisturize after wearing, but you don’t notice a visible difference to the naked eye. Not the case with the Mermaid Mask, you’ll be glowing! It smells so insanely good too. You’ll be tempted to eat it. If you’re needing a pick me up, or a special treat for you- get the Mermaid Mask and savor every ounce of self care. Get the Mermaid Mask here!
This new Ilia Super Skin Tint is giving me all the feels!
I was so excited to try the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint. This is Ilia’s newest product launch. If you’ve followed me for a hot minute then you know I love pretty much anything Ilia makes! I had heard mixed reviews about their Super Serum Skin Tint. What’s unique about this serum skin tint is that it contains SPF 40 using the mineral zinc. The zinc is non-nano. It combines skincare, makeup and SPF all into one product. Not a small feat! It really is a little bottle full of goodness. Not only does it have the SPF but also skin loving ingredients like Niacinamide, Squalene, and Hyaluronic Acids. You end up with this dewy soft look but yet with a good amount of coverage. My skin doesn’t feel masked but it doesn’t feel too exposed. It doesn’t feel heavy at all, like I’m not wearing anything but I am. I’ve had so many people ask me about this product that I wanted to share my thoughts! I basically will be wearing this nonstop in the summer months. I love that the SPF is a decent amount. Many tinted moisturizers are 15 or 20 but 40 SPF is not something I’ve seen a lot of when it comes to a product like this. I apply mine after I’ve moisturized with either a day cream or an oil. I also have tried the Ilia Skin Radiant Priming Serum and love that combo too. I used a foundation brush for application but your finders work great too. Oh and did I mention it comes in 18 colors too? Check it out here!

Credo Beauty is one of my favorite online natural beauty retailers. They have it all when it comes to clean and effective products. They’re like the Sephora of clean beauty. All the “IT” brands in one place! The Sale ends on Sunday 11/10!
You can’t find this brand at The Detox Market, so it’s nice that Credo offers it. This brand really speaks for itself with it’s products. They deliver results! I love so many of them. From their Buchu Botanical Enzyme Polish, to their Marula Resurrection Eye Cream, to Fleurs D’ Afrique Intensive Recovery Face Oil, to their Resurrection Cell Recovery Serum- basically every product I’ve tried has been gold! I can’t recommend them enough. They are a heftier price tag so to be able to snag them at 20% off is amazing! Get them here!
This is another brand that isn’t at The Detox Market. I love their body waxes. They are hydrating and soothing. Depending on what your body needs, they treat the skin. I love their Bleu Body Wax. It uses blue tansy and blue yarrow to help soothe the skin. It smells amazing too! It melts right into your skin. Can’t get enough! I also love their Sen Face Serum. It was in my best of clean beauty 2018! The face oil sinks right into your skin and nourishes it and leaves my skin glowing in the morning. Check out all of Khus Khus products here!
This natural skincare line combines modern science with the natural ingredients found in nature. I love this line because it really aims to solve skincare problems and not just be another natural skincare line. It’s effective and natural- the best of both worlds! I love so many products from them. From their Soothing B3 Serum that has 10% Niacinamide- a natural form of vitamin B that helps with acne and inflammatory skincare conditions, Barrier Lipid Complex- this helps to restore the barrier function of the skin, something that is often missing when your skin is inflamed. I also love their oil cleanser. It’s unlike any oil cleanser I’ve used. It not only is an oil but slightly emulsifies when mixed with water to form a subtle foam. They even have an E.O. free version for those that can’t do essential oils. Check out all their products here!
This makeup line is a definite fave in clean beauty! It combines the sought after pigments from conventional beauty with clean ingredients. Their liquid True Skin Serum Foundation is one of my absolute favorite foundations in clean beauty. It performs so well and looks so natural on the skin. I also love their Liquid Light Serum Highlighter. It gives the skin a radiant glow. Their True Skin Radiant Priming Serum is another favorite as well. It provides a smooth canvas for your whole complexion before foundation. Check out all of Ilia Beauty here!
Josh Rosebrook and Ilia are both natural beauty favorites among many!
I mean what’s not to love about Josh Rosebrook! His products have a cult following and for good reason. They perform! My favorites are his Active Enzyme Exfoliant, his Hair Spray, Serum Spray, Cacao Antioxidant Mask and Vital Balm Cream. To have used a Josh Rosebrook product is to love it! His Active Enzyme Exfoliant is hands down the go to exfoliant for clean beauty bloggers and lovers. His hair spray is the best natural hair spray I’ve used in clean beauty…like I said his products standout. I love that Credo Beauty carries all of them. Shop all of Josh Rosebrook products here!
Tata Harper Skincare line is one of those lines that is a hallmark in clean beauty. It’s been around since almost the beginning. Effective and natural skincare products that really treat the skin. I love their clarifying mask- it helps detox the skin, and give it a glow all at the same time. Last time I was at Credo in San Fran the esthetician there said this mask was her fave! I was so excited to hear as I always sing it’s praises too. I also can’t get enough of their Resurfacing Mask. It literally gets your skin glowing in minutes. Need to brighten up your face? This is the mask. I put it on before a night out, or in the morning to wake my skin up. I also love their regenerating cleanser. A bestseller in their line for sure. It uses BHAs and apricot microspheres to gently buff the skin and get rid of dead skin cells. Check out all of Tata Harper here!
I mean if you’ve followed me for a hot minute you know I can’t get enough of Kosas products! They remind me of my conventional favorite MAC products. From the packaging to formulas. I love their Tinted Face Oil- a hydrating spin on foundation that feels light and leaves you glowing. I also love their lipsticks! They’re definitely a go to of mine in clean beauty. Their formula is unlike any other. Not too hydrating where they bleed but moisturizing enough. I’m also digging their new lip glosses! They are more of a serum than a lip gloss feel- which I love. It not only plumps your lips, but hydrates and treats them with nourishing oils. Check out all of Kosas here!
The Detox Market has been around since the very beginning and is the first natural beauty store I ever knew of. I love their wide selection of products and their Detox Box that comes out every month. The sale lasts through Sunday 11/10- Use Code: GET20.
I’m crazy for this deodorant! Both my hubs and I love it. I specifically love their Holi Rose Deodorant and my hubs loves their Holi-Man Deodorant. It really works as a natural deodorant. I smell fresh all day. I also love their Holi-Oil Youth Refining Serum. It sinks into the skin and helps to calm redness, sun spots and hyper-pigmentation with a variety of skin loving oils. Shop all of Agent Nateur here!
This brand has been around from the beginning of clean beauty. I love their new foundation, their Un-Cover Up concealer, their lipsticks, their luminizing powder, and Master Mixer. Their products give your skin a youthful glowing look. You literally look like you’re glowing from the inside out. Check out all the products here!
Innersense takes the cake when it comes to natural beauty styling products.
When it comes to hair Innersense knows how to create great products. I use some many of their styling products on the daily. I can’t get enough of their I Create Lift Volumizing Foam- it gives my hair lasting volume. I also love their Inner Peace Whipped Cream Texturizer for defining my curls after styling and smoothing away frizz without greasiness. Their I Create Waves Salt Spray is another favorite. I spray this in my hair after styling and it gives it the beachy look so effortlessly. Check out all of Innersense here!
This skincare brand is squeaky clean, yet entirely effective. Laurel the founder uses whole plant ingredients that really do change the skin and produce results. Her products have been featured multiple times in Beauty Heroes Boxes- the it clean beauty box. I love her Sun Serum, it fades sun spots, nourishes the skin and gives your skin it’s glow back. I also love her honey berry enzyme mask. A gentle approach to exfoliation that leaves your skin glowing in minutes. Her Recovery Balm is another standout product. It’s especially great for even the most sensitive skin types. It heals and soothes the skin, while hydrating. Check out all of Laurel products here!
I love Erbaviva’s products for expecting mama’s and baby. They are pure and simple in their formulations, yet still products the results I’m looking for. I really like their baby sunscreen, relax body lotion, and organic lip and cheek balm. The ingredients are so clean, especially for mama’s and baby skin. Check out their products here!
Fitglow’s formulations are some of the best. I love how they marry the power of science and natural ingredients to produce products that really perform. Some of my favorites are their lip serums- it’s similar to a gloss but not goopy and has a little more color pay off similar to a lipstick. Trust me, everyone loves them! I also love their concealer, I use it everyday to help conceal redness, imperfections and even out my skin tone. I also love their night lip serum to help nourish and restore the lips and their Vita-Active Serum- a serum filled with antioxidants. Check out all of Fitglow Beauty here!
Maya Chia’s Skincare products are some of the best in clean beauty.
This skincare line does no wrong! I discovered it 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. I love their Super Couple Serum- an incredible antioxidant serum/oil for your skin that transforms it. I noticed hyper pigmentation fade and an overall glow to my skin. Also, their Optimist Hydrating Essence is a standout. The best overall toner in green beauty! I also love their Highlight of The Day. It takes the cake for best illuminator. Brightens and gives your skin a glow. I also can’t get enough of their Supercritical Omega-3 Chia Face Oil. It moisturizes like none other.
