This Clean Beauty Brand Infuses Its Products With Actual Gemstones
I love a good clean beauty brand as much as the next person, but you know what I love even more? Ones that infuse their products with actual crystals. Crystals are such powerful tools that we have at our disposal to heal our bodies and shift our vibration, so putting them in skincare (safely) feels extra strategic. Sorry, can you tell I also practice Reiki? I digress. The brand in question today is Herbivore Botanicals, which believes strongly in the power of nature and its ability to provide us with the nourishment our skin needs.
The brand definitely has a few cult-loved formulas that are original, packed with nutrients, and 100% free of toxic ingredients. Need I say more? If you've ever wondered which of its products are truly the best and are always gone in a flash, you're in luck. I spoke to the brand directly about its best sellers and what makes each of them a must in your daily beauty routine. Whether you have acne-prone skin or are looking for something to pacify your dry winter complexion, keep reading below for all the Herbivore staples you should snag ASAP.
1. Lapis Blue Tansy Face Oil
According to the brand, this is the one breakout treatment you haven’t tried yet. It really helps clear up blemishes, balance your skin’s oil production, and soothes redness with star ingredients such as blue tansy, squalane, and kukui nut oil. The secret is this oil’s ability to keep surface sebum in check while nourishing the skin’s barrier with hydration. This way, your skin doesn’t become dry and overproduce extra oil, which can lead to breakouts.
2. Phoenix Rose-Hip Anti-Aging Oil
3. Pink Cloud Rose Water + Squalane Makeup Removing Face Wash
I'm pretty much a sucker for anything with rose water in it, and I think you all are, too. That's why the Pink Cloud Cleanser continually flies off the shelves over at Herbivore. The brand describes it as "the easiest, gentlest cleanser for all skin types that melts off makeup without stripping your skin's natural oils."
4. Pink Cloud Soft Moisture Cream
This moisturizer shouldn't be described as anything other than dreamy. According to the brand, its popularity continues to grow because it's a super-easy and gentle moisturizer you can use both in the a.m. and p.m. "It really hydrates the skin, gives it a natural glow, and protects your skin barrier with Tremella mushroom and squalane."
5. Aquarius Pore Purifying BHA Cream
For those with acne-prone skin, Herbivore made this gem just for you. "It really balances, hydrates, mattifies shine, keeps pores clear, and reduces their appearance with white willow bark, a powerful BHA." It also features blue tansy, an ingredient that's really having a moment in the world of skincare right now.
6. Nova 15% Vitamin C + Turmeric Brightening Serum
Any time I need an immediate boost, I reach for this vitamin C serum. Its glow-boosting properties are completely unmatched because it adds antioxidant-rich turmeric into the mix. The brand says it's good for all skin types, including those with sensitivities, and it helps improve dark spots in record time.
7. Coco Rose Exfoliating Body Polish
Infused with Moroccan rose, coconut oil, and pink clay, this luxurious body scrub is guaranteed to make you feel like a million bucks. The brand thinks of this one as its most indulgent exfoliator that smooths skin, moisturizes, and leaves behind a soft, rosy scent.
8. Brighten Pineapple Enzyme + Gemstone Instant Glow Mask
Herbivore's radiance-inducing mask comes courtesy of actual gemstones—seriously. It's formulated with Brazilian white tourmaline, which naturally illuminates your complexion. Pineapple and papaya enzymes also work to gently resurface and exfoliate so your skin is left much smoother and brighter after use.
9. Prism AHA + BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial
10. Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Mist
11. Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum
12. Amethyst Body Scrub With Epsom Salt
13. Jasmine Green Tea Oil Control Toner
14. Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil
