The Best Sustainable Beauty Brands To Know Now
Tata Harper
Now based in Vermont, Colombian Tata Harper first came up with the idea of a clean skincare line back in 2005 when her stepfather was diagnosed with skin cancer. As one of the pioneers of natural skincare, Tata Harper is still one of the leading sustainable beauty names in the market today where all the products are absolutely free from GMO, toxins, fillers and artificial colours, fragrances or synthetic chemicals. The price point is higher than most organic beauty brands out there, but expect the highest quality ingredients and cult products such as the purifying cleanser.
UMA Oils
Offering “farm-to-bottle” formulas, UMA’s range of skincare products is centred around rare and precious botanicals grown in India which are expertly crafted according to ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. All of the botanical ingredients are grown on a 100-acre estate on highly nutritious soil and are carefully selected for harvesting which only takes place no more than two times before it is replanted. The oils are then made in small batches to ensure the purity and therapeutic benefits.
Vapour Beauty
This eco-friendly beauty brand from New Mexico uses plant-based formulas to enhance your complexion and also offer extra skincare benefits as an alternative to conventional makeup in the market today. The brand’s best-selling Lux lip conditioner is filled with USDA-certified organic ingredients and an affordable price point (which is one of the reasons why it’s almost always out-of-stock) makes it a popular choice for those who are beginners to sustainable beauty.
PAI Skincare
Those with ultra-sensitive skin will find comfort in PAI Skincare’s range of organic, vegan and cruelty-free products. The brand’s founder, Sarah Brown’s own sensitive skin problems inspired her to create a range of skincare that people with the same skin issues could 100% trust by avoiding common potential irritants such as alcohol, formaldehyde and parabens and a list of others that are commonly found in many skincare brands. The brand’s Sea Aster and Wild Oat Instant Calm Redness Serum is perfect for those who often suffer from redness and breakouts.
Vintner’s Daughter
Founded by April Gargiulo who in the beginning was inspired to use the similar methodical formulation and ingredient sourcing she learned while working in her family’s wine business in Napa Valley to create a “holy grail” skincare product to solve all her skin problems. After about two years of experimenting, the brand’s now best-selling Active Botanical Serum was created, boasting a list of 22 active organic and wild-crafted botanicals. Today, there is hardly one beauty influencer who has yet to rave about the face oil that has the ability to smoothen, repair and protect the skin.
