Today, I’m excited to share some of my current clean beauty favorites — tried, tested, and loved — plus a few products I have my eye on, thanks to glowing reviews and beauty awards. Whether you’re revamping your routine or simply curious to explore, this lineup is packed with feel-good finds that won’t break the bank.
Clean Beauty Essentials I’m Currently Using and Loving
Coco & Eve Repairing & Restoring Shampoo + Conditioner
This dynamic duo has been a game-changer for my hair. The shampoo targets damage and promotes healthier, shinier locks with fewer split ends. Paired with the ultra-repairing conditioner, my hair feels irresistibly smooth and frizz-free. I can’t recommend them enough if you want to restore life to your strands without any fuss.
Coco & Eve Frizz Fix & Pro Shine Mist
An all-in-one anti-frizz mist that works wonders for up to 72 hours! It tames frizz instantly, adds hydration, and offers heat protection—all while boosting shine. You can use it before or after styling, making it a versatile must-have for sleek, glossy hair that lasts.
Versed Lifting & Defining Mascara
This mascara delivers a natural lift with beautifully defined lashes—no clumps, no heaviness. The brush hugs each lash perfectly for a soft, fluttery finish. Plus, the water-resistant formula stays put all day, giving just the right amount of effortless drama.
Queen Musia Matte Lipstick
I’m obsessed with this lipstick’s smooth, creamy texture and flattering shades. It brightens my face with a touch of color that lasts. I wear my favorite shade daily, and it’s become a staple in my makeup bag.
Evolve Together Deodorant in Monaco
If this scent were a perfume, I’d wear it every day. The light, fresh rose and mandarin fragrance keeps me feeling clean and confident all day long. It’s effective, beautifully packaged, and such a pleasure to use — truly a standout in the clean deodorant world.
Clean Beauty Products I’m Excited to Try
Crown Affair Dry Shampoo
This non-aerosol powder dry shampoo has been buzzing in beauty circles for good reason. Designed to absorb oil and boost volume without buildup, it’s perfect for refreshing second-day hair while adding life and texture.
Londontown Lakur Nail Polish
I’ve seen this polish everywhere lately. It’s a clean, long-lasting formula available in gorgeous shades (that pale blush is definitely on my wishlist!). Plus, it’s free from harsh chemicals, which is a huge plus for anyone mindful about their beauty ingredients.
Queen Musia Lip Hydrabalm
After loving their matte lipstick, I’m eager to try this hydrabalm. The twist-up packaging is adorable, and word on the street is that it’s super hydrating and smooth—a perfect lip treat.
Olivia Garden NanoThermic Ceramic Round Brush
A salon-quality round brush that’s gentle on hair and delivers smooth blowouts? Yes, please! This award-winning brush is said to be a total styling game-changer, and I can’t wait to give it a whirl.
Why I Love Sharing Clean Beauty
For me, clean beauty isn’t just about what’s left out of a formula — it’s about the thoughtful care brands put into their products, the inspiring packaging, and the way a routine can make you feel like your best self. There’s something deeply satisfying about using products that align with a more intentional, mindful lifestyle.
