When we are looking for the best organic facial products we are sure to find a wide variety of brands and products available. The amount of choice can be overwhelming, so how do we find the best ones?
First we need to by-pass the fake organics, the brands claiming to be natural but in reality, are still using toxic chemical ingredients. Words like “organic”, “natural”,”pure”, “hypoallergenic”, “unscented” and “non-toxic” can be used with no consensus on what these words actually mean.
We need to learn to read ingredients lists, so we can recognize the ingredients we want to avoid. We need to check out how products rate on EWG’s Skin deep Database. We need to shop at stores that only carry purely natural products.
Researching and reading can take hours. Finding great organic facial products can be a daunting task, if you don’t know where to look. Luckily for you, I have done the research and searched the internet to bring you the best organic facial products on the market.
Brands to Avoid
There are a lot of fake organic brands out there. They may be labeled “organic” or “natural” but they still contain toxic chemicals.
There is no regulation on using the terms “organic” and “natural”. The only way to be sure something is truly natural is to put on your detective lenses and read the ingredients list.
You could also check for organic seals such as USDA certified organic. Many organic seals have strict guidelines that products must meet in order to receive their seal.

I have scoured the internet, spending hours upon hours reading and researching. I have used organic facial products for over a decade, having read so many ingredients lists, it has become second nature to me.

What Facial Products do we Need?
In a regular facial routine, we need a cleanser, a toner, a serum and a moisturizer. Optional products are exfoliates and masks.
- A cleanser is essential for getting makeup, sunscreen, oil, dirt and pollutants off of our faces.
- A toner will help remove any left over cleanser residue and oil that may have been missed. It will help tighten our pores and leave our skin prepped to adsorb the nutrients in our serum.
- A water-based serum is an excellent way to deliver serious nutrients to the skin and act as an anti-aging treatment.
- Finally, a moisturizer seals the deal. It holds moisture in our skin and acts as a protective barrier.
- Optional products are masks and exfoliates. These are products that you will only be using a couple times a week. Masks pull gunk from your pores and exfoliates get rid of dead skin cells, revealing the new skin cells underneath.

Hello!?
Do you have any eyeliner suggestions?
Especially for oily skin.
I am not sure about eyeliners, I don’t have a lot of experience using them. ILIA makes a highly rated eyeliner that I am sure would be a wonderful product. It is available at The Detox Market. Or you could try out W3ll People’s eyeliner, it is available on Amazon. These companies make exceptional products, so I trust that their eyeliners will be top-notch. Hope that helps 🙂 Let me know if you have any more questions!
