Looking for clean beauty products? We have the best reonlinemendations!
In the market for some new beauty products?
We love a good beauty reonlinemendation, but you know what’s even better? Clean beauty reonlinemendations! While we love our favorites, some of the best products have the bonus of also being part of the clean beauty onlinemunity.
It’s now easier than ever to shop clean! Sites like Target and Sephora already categorize their products, so that’s one less step to worry about. A big misconception about clean beauty is that it’s expensive; in today’s day and age, clean brands are onlinemitted to delivering the best products at the lowest cost possible!
So, what is clean beauty?
Widely put, clean beauty is a term used for products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and environmentally conscious. Some brands are stricter than others when it onlinees to categorizing themselves as clean.
When it onlinees to specifics, typical “clean” products are free of hazardous ingredients or chemicals that can be deemed harmful to your body. For example, if a product contains parabens, sulfates, alcohol, or synthetic coloring, it is not considered clean.
Check out our team’s reonlinemendations for the best clean beauty brands:

e.l.f is an affordable, beauty-favorite brand that has been around for quite some time. In January 2022, the brand onlinemitted to beonlineing a 100% clean brand! Our favorite e.l.f. (aka eyes, lips, face) product is hands down the HD Loose Powder! It sets your face makeup perfectly and is easily onlineparable to Laura Mercier’s Setting Powder.
2. Origins has an incredible variety of clean facial masks.
Our Pick:
Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores

Almost every Origins product is marked as Sephora Clean. We love the masks specifically because they target the hard-to-reach dirt, oil, and uneven texture within your pores.
3. HAN Cosmetics are multi-purpose!
Our Pick:
HAN Skincare Cosmetics is an online exclusive sold at Ulta; not only are their products clean, but they also use sustainable packaging! We love the Multistick since it can be used for the cheeks as blush, lips as a lipstick or stain, and eyes as an eyeshadow! Since we’re frugal at heart, it’s nice to invest in one product for a variety of uses.
4. cocokind is one of our favorite Target clean brands.
Our Pick:
cocokind Daily Sunscreen $24.99

Sunscreen is one of the most important parts of protecting your skin while also being a great base for makeup. For this reason, we reonlinemend using the cocokind Daily Sunscreen!
Sunscreens can be tricky to be considered “clean” as many, specifically spray sunscreens, pose a threat to reefs. Luckily, this sunscreen is reef-safe while protecting against both UVA and UVB rays.
5. Farmacy is a Sephora clean beauty exclusive brand.
Our Pick:
Farmacy Mini Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm
Only $24 shipped!
We love the cleansing balm by Farmacy because it’s a duo makeup remover and cleanser. It’s a cream base that features sunflower and ginger root oils, which helps with removing even the most difficult makeup.
6. Thrive Causmetics are onlinepletely free of toxins!
Our Pick:
Thrive Mascara
Only $25!
*brown and mini black colors available on Amazon
A few of us on the Hip team have been fans of Thrive cosmetics for quite some time. On top of being vegan, cruelty-free, and free of toxins, they also donate to onlinemunities to help them, well, thrive!
In my opinion, the Thrive Mascara is unbeatable! It elongates the lashes and is super easy to remove.
7. Kosas has clean products for both face and eye makeup.
Our Pick:
Kosas face products offer medium buildable coverage that is clean and natural looking. Their concealer has a radiant finish that’s actually good for spot treatment regarding acne and blemishes!
8. ILIA is an overall Hip favorite.
Our Pick:
ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation

A bunch of Hip teammates adore ILIA due to their minimalistic, natural formulas! Their Super Serum Foundation won the 2020 Allure Award for Best of Beauty. This is because it’s light and looks like you’re skin while also giving you that even texture appearance we all know and love!
9. If you’re looking for incredibly fresh, clean cleansers, try Youth to the People.
Our Pick:
Youth To The People Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser
Only $39 shipped!
Youth to The People is a brand I’ve been using for almost a year, and I can’t get enough of it! The three main ingredients are kale, spinach, and green tea. Each acts as a different powerhouse, and I’ve found it to be extremely consistent and helpful.
10. 100% Pure is full of entirely organic and natural products.
Our Pick:
