20 Beauty Launches That Are Making Our Earth—and Skin—a Better Place featured image

With beauty launches popping up all over the board, we’ve been swapping out the products with long, hard-to-read labels with ones that are more friendly for the environment. Ahead, 20 launches that have saved our skin and made the earth a little happier along the way.

1 / 20

Three Ships Dew Drops Mushroom Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Serum ($35)

Traceable key ingredients and responsible sourcing are what make this product both good for your skin and good for the earth. Tremella mushroom moisturizes the skin and creates a firmer texture, kakadu plum has 1,000 times the amount of vitamin C than oranges and red algae extract maintains the skin’s natural hydration barrier so you can leave dryness in the past.

2 / 20

Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25 ($42)

Coming in hot with 36 shades, Kosas’s newest foundation—it’s modeled after its best-selling concealer—not only smoothes unwanted texture, but hydrates and brightens as well. With its top ingredient source being nature and all of its formulas free of hard-to-read ingredients, we trust Kosas’s products are healthy to use on multiple levels.

3 / 20

Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm ($35)

Hourglass’s new hydrating, shine-inducing gloss hasn’t left my purse since it showed up at my door, and that’s because it’s a one-stop-shop for easy-to-achieve lips that look like they underwent hours of pampering.

Not only does this new clean mascara lift and lengthen, but it stays put for up to 12 hours too. The first luxury beauty brand to introduce refillable packaging, Kjar Weis is one to follow if you’re looking to reduce your footprint.

Klorane Volumizing Dry Shampoo With Flax ($20)

It provides eight-hour volume, it lifts hair at the roots, it makes strands bouncy and clean, it absorbs excess oil, it does not weigh the hair down, and it’s 20-percent off for Earth Day—it’s Klorane’s new dry shampoo, and it does not disappoint.

6 / 20

Avene Cicalfate+ Scar Gel ($26)

Help improve the appearance of pesky scars with daily application of this skin-smoother, which taps silicone, hyaluronic acid and Avene’s patented thermal spring water to aid in skin restoration.

7 / 20

HUM Boost Sweet Boost ($26)

Packed with immunity-boosting ingredients like vitamin C, elderberry and zinc, these once-a-day chewables add some spark to your supplement routine, and they pack a sickness-defending punch, too.
