Five Affordable Green Beauty Brands You May Not Have Tried Yet! And a Few on My Own Wishlist!

Last year (wow! Time sure does fly!) I shared some of my top picks for affordable green beauty brands (which you can read here), today I'd like to add to that list.

 My goal is to provide brands that are not only affordable to the average person, but are also good introductory brands to those who are new to green beauty. I personally know how overwhelming and confusing it can be to know which brands to choose in the green beauty world, especially when you are just starting to switch over, so hopefully these lists will help you newbies out (and also perhaps introduce new brands to you veterans too)! :-)

With that in mind, here are my 5 latest picks!

1)  Batty's Bath -  I found this gem on Etsy, and was so impressed by what I saw both ingredients and price wise, that I ventured on over to her website and placed an order. If you have suffered or are suffering with skin issues like acne or rosacea, this brand is worth checking out! I ended up purchasing her Detox Kit,  as well as a few samples of other products. You'll save big on shipping if you sign up for her newsletter too, which is what I did! Prices vary from $2 (samples) to $50 (kit). Review to follow (hopefully soon!). 

2) Shea Terra Organics - I've loved everything I have tried by this brand, especially the Rose Hips face wash (see review here), Hibiscus Oil, and their Rose Hips and Carrot Perfecting Serum.  The ingredients are pure, therapeutic and ethically sourced. The prices are great and if you sign up for their "VIP Specials", you'll receive emails with discount codes and other deals. Prices range from around $3 to $32 depending on product.

3) Luminance Skincare - This brand is my new obsession. This is truly a unique brand, and the more I use their products, the more in love I fall with them. I especially love that they use Tamarind Seed extract, which is far more effective than hyaluronic acid in terms of moisture retention. See review here.

4) Acure Organics - Though I still have yet to try this brand, I have heard nothing but good things from my fellow bloggers, and I trust their opinions. Not only does Acure Organics use the purest, most effective fair trade natural and organic ingredients around, but they use a high concentration of Chlorella Growth Factor, which is proven to protect collagen and elastin fibers from the enzymes that would destroy them. I've got my eye on their Seriously Firming Facial Serum! Prices range from around $3.99 to $29.99

5) Blissoma - Another brand that is on my wishlist, Blissoma is not only extremely inexpensive for the quality of ingredients, but like Acure Organics, I have heard nothing but rave reviews about them. Founder Julie Longyear is one of the most knowlegeable people I've come across in the green beauty world. She is "fluent" in both chemistry and herbalism so you just know that her products will be amazingly effective. I'm especially lusting after the Smooth A+ Perfecting Serum and the Lift Intelligent Energy Creme. Prices range from about $3.50 (samples) to $33.99 (but full sized skincare kits can range up to $122).


I could probably list several more, but these are the current stand outs for me right now. As I discover more affordable and effective (which is key) green brands, I will be sure to share them with you! 

Have you tried any of these brands? If so, which are your favorites and if not, which ones are on your wishlist? Let me know! :-)


Peace & Love,
