It’s no secret that harmful chemicals lurk inside of the average makeup bag. Considering that our skin is the largest (and most porous) organ of the body, it absorbs whatever we put on it.
The good news is that we’ve rounded up some of the very best natural and organic makeup brands that not only do a stellar job of beautification, but their plant-derived components will also heal, condition, and soothe the skin:
Must-have Summer
Beauty Essential of 2018:
KORA Organics Rose Quartz
Luminizer, $28, Sephora
You know how models and celebrities’ skin is always glowing, dewy and oh-so-healthy looking? Well this organic, creamy highlighter contains finely crushed shiny Rose Quartz for a transparent, slightly pinkish (yet suitable for all skin-types) hue that results in a kick-ass luminous glow. Even if you have dull, dry skin, the ingredients nourish, moisturize and melt into the skin to create a smooth, soft and supple appearance. Certified Organic Noni Fruit Extract, Coconut and Rosehip Oils, and work in tandem with actual Rose Quartz Crystal Powder to enhance your natural radiance -- and since rose quartz is a crystal that is energized with vibrations of love and happiness—it also passes along the vibration of LOVE onto you.
