I’ve been using Earth Science Clarifying Facial Wash. I like it a lot, it’s gentle, not too drying, foams well, and doesn’t irritated my skin.
I’ve also used Earth Science ADE Creamy Cleanser as well. It was good as well, but I prefer a foaming cleanser.
Kiss My Face Intensive Repair Night Creme is good for dry skin. My husband uses it, and I use it around my eyes and philtrum. |

I've been trawlling this forum for years now and have tried so many different brands / products but I've never found anything quite right.
There has been a lot in the news and even around these forums about so called natural and organic products which really only contain a small percent of said natural or organic ingredients and it's really quite frightening. I personally really needed to have a think about what I was actually looking for, and through months of research of through friends I discovered Neways. Though they're not natural or organic they don't contain any harmful chemicals or even suspected harmful chemicals and I've since replaced all my cleaning / personal care with this brand. I feel great and my skin looks great and what makes me love this company even more is the fact that they truly live by the principals in their products. It's all about healthy living and a healthy world.
Nothing works for everyone but this has been a complete lifestyle change for me and it's made a huge difference. |

I like Rainwater Botanicals. You can find them on Etsy. Fantastic quality, ingredients and great prices. |

The problem with organic/natural brands is that
a) they often contain questionable ingredients
b) even if they do contain good ingredients, it takes more than just that to make a good product, ie pH
For me personally, I don't take any company seriously that only uses titanium dioxide in their sunscreens, or only discloses "key" ingredients.
I've been using Earth Science Clarifying and ADE Cleansers. They do contain phenoxyethanol and one contains perfum, but they have pHs of 5.0 and 5.5 so for now I'm sticking with it until I find something else.
I really like Reviva Labs 5% Glycolic Renaissance Cream. I prefer to use it on my body, and my skin feels fantastic afterwards.
I've also been using and loving Aubrey Organics Blue Camomile Hydrating Shampoo. It doesn't have the lather of a drugstore shampoo but it's not a big deal. I've received samples of Rahua shampoo and conditioner before, and I'm guessing they weren't big enough because I couldn't get any lather going with the shampoo, and it's $30 for 8 oz? Eh.
I've also tried and liked Sula lip gloss. It's not too sticky and the ingredients aren't bad.
The best advice I can give someone who wants to buy products without all the irritants is to keep it really simple. Instead of buying peels or masques, buy AHA and do peels with that. Use carrier oils to moisturize. |

I've been pleasantly surprised by the few Andalou Naturals products I have tried over the last year and find them to be good quality at a modest price. |

Trilogy skin care products - my skin just love it. results are glowing, soft, and i think there's something about natural ingredients that skin literally just love.
Attitudeline Skincare - Tried some of their products, but i didnt really see much difference. Only thing that stood out was the cucumber peel, it helped with my serum and moisturiser to skin in better.
Paw Paw Balm - came across this at the chemist during winter when my lips was badly chapped and dry. It saved my lips and everytime i apply it, my lips doesnt dry out anymore. |
