Ten Under $20​ Totally Affordable, All Natural Beauty Products

You probably already recycle (OK, you better be recycling!); maybe you use some eco-friendly cleaning products; perhaps you’re a vegan or vegetarian--but have you given any thought to natural, eco-friendly beauty products?

I figured what better way to celebrate Earth Month than by highlighting some of the most purest and gentlest self-care products. Below, I’ve put together 10 under $20 of the best botanical, organic, vegan and ethically made beauty products on the market that will help you put your best self forward!

10 Under $20 Totally Affordable Natural Beauty Products

---

ONE:  Weleda Regenerating Hand Cream, Pomegranate, 1.7 Ounce, $8.64
Weleda is the OG of organic products--the company has been around for almost 100 years.  With no synthetic anything added to its formulas, along with no animal testing, the brand is committed to keeping it all-natural. I had the luxury of testing this product as part of an Influenster box last year, and absolutely loved it.  Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream contains certified organic shea butter, is rich in essential fatty acids and has natural plant extracts which help stimulate skin renewal to keep hands soft and protected.

TWO:  Burt's Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Lip Shimmer, Guava, $4.25
This line is in just about every drug store, making it the easiest on this list to grab.  This lip shimmer in Guava is my go-to lip product.  It’s a soft lilac hue that would look great on all skin tones.  It’s enriched with shea butter, beeswax and antioxidant rich fruit oils to moisturize and nourish lips, and softens with sunflower seed oil.  What doesn’t it have?  The list is endless: No propylene glycol, butylene glycol, polyisobutene, parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, DMDM hydantoin, sodium lauryl, sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, mineral oil, paraffin, or synthetic sunscreens.  Don’t like this shade?  Don’t worry, they have  14 stunning shades to choose from!

THREE:  Physician's Formula Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil, $11.99
What’s in this product?  Argan oil.  Yep, that’s it. And yep, you can grab this one in drug stores, too! Use it on your hair to smooth frizz or as a heat protectant; use it to soften skin (I use mine on my cuticles, elbows and heels); you can even add a few drops to your bath water or to moisturize after your shower!

---

​FOUR:  Pacifica Island Perfume Spray, Vanilla, 1 Ounce, $19.99
I first discovered this perfume while checking out the goodies in the health and beauty aisle at Whole Foods.  The minute I smelled this, I was immediately transported to a tropical island paradise (I wish!).  The island inspired vanilla scent is set against subtle floral, fruit and tea notes.  It’s sexy, sweet and best of all made with all good stuff--100% organic ingredients and natural essential oils.  No animal testing, no parabens, and bonus:  gluten-free.

​FIVE:  The Compassionate Chick’s Guide to DIY Beauty by Sunny Subramanian, $16.96
With a 5 star review on Amazon, The Compassionate Chick's Guide to DIY Beauty: 125 Recipes for Vegan, Gluten-Free, Cruelty-Free Makeup, Skin and Hair Care Products (paperback) is “Part DIY vegan beauty how-to, part cookbook, and part self-improvement manifesto.  This book showcases non-toxic, rejuvenating and restorative skin care and beauty products that you can whip up in your kitchen with simple ingredients for pennies per treatment”.

SIX:  Mayberry Konjac Exfoliating Sponge with Bamboo Charcoal, Green Tea, and Turmeric – 3 Pack - 100% Natural Face Sponge, $14.95
Konjac Sponges are great for exfoliating the face to reveal a more refined feel, a radiant complexion, and healthier appearance.  They are made with 100% konjac root fibers (native to Asia) that are excellent for eliminating impurities and exfoliating the face.  Infused with natural bamboo, charcoal, green tea and tumeric, these sponges will help reveal a more radiant complexion and healthier appearance to the skin.  Konjac sponges are biodegradable and free of toxins, pollutants, and artificial additives!

---

​SEVEN:  ACURE Brightening Facial Scrub, 4 Ounce, $7.19
Speakin’ of your face...this vegan, sulfate free, paraben free and cruelty free product seems to be on every beauty editors’ “best of” list!  And it’s no wonder.  Acure Brightening Facial Scrub gently removes dirt and oil while feeding and restoring cells--it stimulates new cell growth with “chlorella growth factor”.  Great for all skin types!

---

EIGHT:  Josie Maran Easy Writer Argan Cream Eye Shadow + Argan Liner (Silver Star/Midnight), $10
The basis for all of model-turned-entrepreneur Josie Maran's products is 100% organic argan oil, which is infused in everything from her tinted moisturizer to--you guessed it--her Easy Write Argan Cream Eye Shadow & Argan Liner (whoda thunk it?). The double-ended pen boasts a soft-blending cream shadow with a coordinating eyeliner.  Not fond of the color?  There a variety of shades to choose from.

---

NINE:  The Honest Company HONESTLY EFFORTLESS Sea Salt Spray 3 fl. oz. / 90 mL, $18.00
Jessica Alba’s got her finger on the pulse of all that is natural. All of her Honest Beauty products are free of sulfates, silicones, parabens, PEGs, polyquaterniums, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, mineral oil, paraffins, DEA/MEA/TEA, steareth-n, formaldehyde carriers, synthetic fragrances or dyes (phew!)  This sea salt spray will give your hair beachy waves “in a splash” (heh, cute).  Enriched with mineral rich Himalayan pink sea salt, algae extract, amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants, this product will help provide your hair with healthy nutrients.  For all hair types.

---

TEN:  Pacifica Beauty Stellar Gaze Length & Strength Mascara Supernova (black), $10.49
This mascara is a favorite of mine because it doesn’t make my eyes itch or burn (a problem I typically have with other brands).  It volumizes and extends lashes, and it doesn’t clump or smudge! It’s as pure a formula as you can buy--vegan, gluten free, fragrance free, paraben free and all natural.
