Natural ingredients with anti-ageing benefits range from alpha hydroxy acids and polyphenols to antioxidant vitamins. They follow hormetic pathways within the skin that slow down its aging process.
This night cream uses 2% Niacinamide to soften lines and wrinkles, refine pores, and strengthen moisture barriers for improved skin hydration. Furthermore, bakuchiol, an innovative plant-based alternative to retinol which works without irritation is included as well.
Junk Theory
Junk Theory is a sustainable skincare brand that places sustainability first. Their fully recyclable metal packaging features an engineered liner to provide long-term skincare compatibility while using less than 1 gram of plastic – significantly reducing their environmental footprint. Not only are their products eco-friendly packaging-wise, they’re free from harmful ingredients like sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances and harmful irritants as well. Leaping Bunny and 1% for the Planet certifications demonstrate their dedication to ethical practices – however due to limited ingredient transparency this score remains limited as a score.
Customers of this eco-conscious skincare brand have raved about its clean and effective formulations, earning rave reviews from customers who note noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture and hydration. Plus, its aluminum packaging can be recycled endlessly, significantly cutting back on plastic use in beauty industry operations and encouraging eco-conscious living through social media platforms and eco-focused initiatives.
Osea
Osea products feature sustainably-sourced, organic Patagonia seaweed for their foundation, blended with essential oil blends and other powerful plant extracts for maximum effectiveness. Their products are free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance and artificial dyes – as well as vegan- and cruelty-free certification.
Osea offers vegan formulas certified by Leaping Bunny that contain kelp and algae (gigartina, macrocystis, undaria) which provide antioxidants to reduce inflammation and protect against aging. Their anti-age serum brightens skin with vitamin C while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles with niacinamide; their hydrating body oil gave our writer’s skin a glowing finish.
Osea prioritizes the environment by being Climate Neutral certified, Ocean Positive Verified, and switching all plastic pumps and lids over to PCR plastic. Furthermore, its recycling program in LA offers LA locals a chance to return empty bottles for credit towards future purchases – though these products may seem pricey initially, they offer plenty of uses from one bottle!
One Love Organics
LeRoux launched her company with the mission of producing plant-based skincare that worked better than the synthetic, paraben and silicon products she’d grown up using. Today, she remains hands-on in every step of the business and formulates all products herself; Georgia (represent!) boasts its very own ECOCERT range that is both accessible and effective.
Dr. Cox uses One Love Organics products in her practice due to their dedication to safe and natural ingredients that are developed sustainably. She highly recommends the Botanical D Moisture Mist which was intended as a moisturizer but instead acts as a milky toner that soothes dehydrated skin.
Cocokind
Cocokind offers vegan skincare products that are earth-friendly, sustainable and cost-effective; each product boasts impressive reviews from customers! Try their Ceramide Barrier Support Serum which contains five types of ceramides (np, ns, ap & eos), beta glucan as a humectant, plus Leuconostoc/radish Root Ferment Filtrates to reduce trans-epidermal water loss.
Oil to Milk Cleanser from this company provides deep moisturization with shea butter and replenishing benefits from glycerin, while its inclusion of algae-derived humectants prevent dehydration.
Cocokind stands out from other brands with its dedication to minimalism, featuring short ingredient lists that focus on key, effective ingredients. This approach simplifies your routine while eliminating irritation or allergic reactions; furthermore, its bottles are made from upcycled ocean waste plastic which means you can recycle them after you’re finished using them!
