Drunk Elephant JuJu Bar

"I'm a skin care junkie and try everything that I can get my hands on. While I'm not naturally drawn to bar soaps, this magic bar (made of clean, nontoxic ingredients like heilmoor clay and virgin marula oil) has the perfect pH to cleanse and exfoliate without over-drying skin." – Ciucci

Josh Rosebrook Lift Hair Texture and Volume Spray

"There are many incredible benefits about this spray, starting with the fact that it's formulated with nontoxic, certified-organic ingredients (none of which are tested on animals). The spray creates the most perfect weightless volume that lasts and, because it's infused with combination of herbs that work directly on the follicle, it encourages and maintains strong hair growth for thicker hair." – Jenny Cho, hairstylist

Joanna Vargas Daily Serum

Joanna Vargas Daily Serum

"This all-natural, organic daily serum is packed with vital greens (inspired by my love of green juicing). It contains oat grass juice for the lymphatic system, chlorophyll for oxygenation, and vitamins A, C, E, and F found in leafy greens, along with hyaluronic acid. My favorite ingredient is galactoarabinan, derived from the larch tree. It causes more cell turnover than glycolic [acid] but is also anti-inflammatory, so it doesn't cause irritation, even in sensitive skin." – Joanna Vargas, celebrity facialist and founder of Joanna Vargas Salon and Skincare Collection

Joanna Vargas Daily Serum ($85)

Kérastase Aura Botanica Essence D’Eclat

"Kérastase's Aura Botanica collection is the first natural origin line that I have worked with that doesn't compromise performance. The Aura Botanica Essence D'Eclat is my personal go-to! It is an oil and rose water spray that is perfect for adding nutrition and shine to the hair. I just spray the oil on my brush and do blowouts with it or use as a finishing shine spray. It also smells amazing." – Matt Fugate, hairstylist

Kérastase Aura Botanica Essence D’Eclat ($28)

Kneipp Bath Salts

Kneipp Bath Salts

"These bath salts come in a variety of scents, such as eucalyptus, valerian and hops (perfect before bed), and arnica, which helps soothe joints and muscles. They're free of chemical additives and use only fragrant plants and essential oils for the ultimate relaxing bath experience. I travel a lot so I like that they also come in individual packets. I can keep the bigger bottles at home and still draw a calming bath when I'm away!" – Jenn Streicher, makeup artist

Kneipp Bath Salts ($20)

Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Ultra Natural Mascara

"Mascara is probably the most difficult thing to replicate without harmful ingredients, but Juice Beauty has managed to meet the mark. This formula is lengthening, thickening, and superdark black — everything I want and need to exaggerate the lash line and add the perfect fan of lashes to frame the eye, all without clumping or flaking." – Katey Denno, makeup artist

Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Ultra Natural Mascara ($22)

MV Pure Jojoba Oil

"This is an all-around product everyone needs. Use it like a moisturizer (it makes your skin feel amazing!). You can also use it to take off eye makeup and to restore moisture to dry ends of your hair. Since it's travel-size, I always carry it on airplanes to keep my skin hydrated and happy!" – Hayward

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Pore Scrub

"The product contains 94 percent naturally derived ingredients, including jojoba beads and willowbark, which is like nature's salicylic acid, to enhance exfoliation and remove excess dirt and oil from the skin. The packaging is even environmentally conscious!" – Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Pore Scrub ($7)


RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek

RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek

"RMS was one of the first 'green beauty' brands on the scene to offer highly pigmented color. These certified organic lip/cheek color pots can be layered for buildable color and are made of good-for-you ingredients (such as coconut and sunflower seed oils) so you're nourishing your lips with every wear. No nonsynthetic color product is going to last all day, but RMS gets the closest." – Denno

RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek ($36)

Pai Skincare Avocado and Jojoba Hydrating Day Cream

"I was introduced to this day cream several years ago by Jessica Richards, the owner of my favorite Brooklyn-based beauty destination, Shen Beauty. I love the scent (jasmine and may chang oils) and the texture (hydrating but not greasy), and it's made from organic ingredients. I use it in the morning after an antioxidant serum and before applying my sunscreen." – Erin Gilbert, MD, founder of Gilbert Dermatology

Pai Skincare Avocado and Jojoba Hydrating Day Cream ($55)

Promise Organic SPF 30 Coconut Sunscreen Lotion

"This sunscreen provides broad-spectrum sun protection using organic ingredients and only zinc oxide as its UV filter. It can be used on all skin types (it's also safe for children!) and has a naturally sweet coconut smell." – Zeichner

POPSUGAR Photography / Mark Popovich

Matrix Biolage R.A.W. Replenish Oil Mist

"This mist is a 100 percent natural custom oil blend of olive, sunflower, and borage oils. It is unlike other sprays with silicones because instead of creating a barrier, it actually nourishes to help you achieve softer, smoother, shinier hair. You can use it on dry hair before shampooing, add it to conditioner, or use it when dry styling. It is extremely versatile and you can never really do too much." – George Papanikolas, hairstylist

Matrix Biolage R.A.W. Replenish Oil Mist ($24)

R.L. Linden Balmba Rosa Lip Balm

R.L. Linden Balmba Rosa Lip Balm

"This is the best lip balm on the market. It's hydrating, soothing, and deliciously scented. It's formulated without petroleum and only 100 percent nontoxic, good-for-you-and-the-planet ingredients — truly better than anything else." – Denno

R.L. Linden Balmba Rosa Lip Balm ($25)

Tata Harper Beautifying Face Oil

Tata Harper Beautifying Face Oil

"I've been using a range of Tata Harper in my kit for years, but my golden ticket product is this oil, which is rich in arnica, calendula, and argan oil. I use it as a treatment before I apply moisturizer and it has the most glowing and healthy effect on the skin." – Ciucci

Rahua Shampoo

Rahua Shampoo

"I love this gentle shampoo for a 100 percent natural way to cleanse the scalp and remove build-up all without drying my ends. Plant-derived and sustainably sourced ingredients from the Amazon help to silken and protect. It can take a week or two to really feel the benefits, but after that, it's the gift that keeps on giving, leaving you with luxurious shine, strong strands, and a superhealthy scalp!" – Patricia Nigro, expert colorist at Butterfly Studio Salon

Rahua Shampoo ($34)

True Botanicals Resurfacing Moisture Mask
POPSUGAR Photography / Mark Popovich

True Botanicals Resurfacing Moisture Mask

"If you don't go to the facialist for regular microdermabrasion or peels, then removing dead skin cells off at home is a must. This gentle, fruit-acid-based mask really works to loosen that dull top layer, which allows your active products to really get into the deeper layers and provide hydration and cell renewal. It's super easy to use – just slather it on once a week and remove with a wet washcloth after 10-20 minutes. You'll see an immediate difference!" – Denno

True Botanicals Resurfacing Moisture Mask ($90)

Tata Harper Purifying Mask

Tata Harper Purifying Mask

"This mask contains natural clay that absorbs oil and dirt along with botanical extracts that help calm, soothe, and hydrate skin. Even better, it's 100 percent nontoxic without any animal testing." – Zeichner

Tata Harper Purifying Mask ($65)

Kjaer Weis Eye Shadow

Kjaer Weis Eye Shadow

"These certified-organic eye shadows are the best on the green beauty market. They're a little pricier than other shadows, but if you're looking for seamless blendability with only the highest level of ingredients (like rosehip oil and shea butter), these are your best bet." – Denno

Kjaer Weis Eye Shadow ($45)
