As much as we love normalizing sustainable beauty when it’s not Earth Month, there’s no better time to promote cruelty-free, eco-friendly products that don’t compromise on results.
Here are 15 beauty and grooming finds packed with plant-powered goodness and zero animal byproducts, so you can get the glow without the guilt.
Camille Rose Naturals - Curl Love Moisture Milk
A creamy leave-in that melts into curls. Rice milk, macadamia oil, and slippery elm hydrate, define, and detangle. It’s recommended for all curl types on both wet or dry hair, and it smells absolutely yummy.
CHI – Vibes Wake & Fake Dry Shampoo
A quick refresh with a little extra love. White tea calms the scalp and cooling agents give a refreshing feel, taking hair from flat to voluminous. It extends styles nicely with a lasting, fresh aroma and zero chalky mess.
Epicutis - Lipid Recovery Mask
Love retinoids, hate the harsh side effects? This soothing, moisturizing face mask is an ultra-concentrated version of the brand's award-winning Lipid Serum. It's powered by Epicutis’ proprietary TSC molecule, noted by the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology to combat redness, dryness, and irritation associated with retinol and tretinoin.
ERLY - Daily Dew Illuminating Serum
This light, radiance-boosting serum banishes dull or uneven skin tone through a formula packed with antioxidants. Its soft pearl finish infuses the skin with a subtle but noticeable glow, and makes the skin look and feel visibly fresh and hydrated both under makeup or alone.
Eye Kandy - Liquid Sugar Glitter Sealer
This water-based adhesive bonding base locks in glitter and metallics in a single swipe — making them smudge-proof and flake-free with staying power. An artist kit staple for long-wear glam or editorial looks.
GLOWWA - Hair Food Vitamins
These hair supplements have built up a cult following (and have won a bunch of awards) thanks to biotin, zinc, and MSM helping to reduce shedding, boost growth, and support scalp health from the inside out. It’s ideal for postpartum, seasonal shedding, or stress-related hair loss.
Hairstory - Pre-Wash Micellar Scalp Rinse
Bye, buildup. Hello, balanced roots. This gentle pre-cleanse refreshes the scalp, clarifies, and preps hair for a deeper wash. Recommended before scalp treatments or deep conditioning, or for those adjusting to non-detergent shampoos (as in the Hairstory line).
IGK - Best Interest Deep Repair Air Dry Styler
Break up with breakage and air dry with confidence using this bond-building leave-in that repairs, softens, and adds shine using biomimetic bond technology and vegan silk. For wash-and-go hair but with a glossy, just-styled, frizz-free finish.
L3VEL3 - Sculpting Clay
This lightweight clay gives touchable texture and a reliable matte hold without the crunch. Beeswax and kaolin make styling easy while keeping hair nourished. Ideal for short styles, clean fades, or anyone wanting structure and definition that still moves.
ONESKIN - OS-01 HAIR Peptide Scalp Serum
From the award-winning skincare brand comes this science-y serum that tackles hair loss at the cellular level by targeting senescent cell buildup associated with aging and thinning. Hair looks and feels denser by the end of the first month of use, and clinical results confirm increases in hair thickness and growth over time.
R+Co - Super Garden CBD Shampoo & Conditioner
CBD meets clean beauty in this line for those who want good hair and good vibes. These calming, hydrating formulas are ideal for itchy scalps and frizz-prone hair, gentle enough to use every day. Bonus: the bottles are R+Co’s first foray into post-consumer recycled packaging.
Rude Cosmetics - Be Square Pressed Pigments & Shadows
These curated quads of matte, shimmer, and glitter are MUA kit-ready and makeup-obsessed-approved. The four palettes: Geeky, Brainy, Nerdy, and Dorky, give bold payoff, ethereal shimmers, and blend like a dream.
The Lip Bar - No Filler Needed Volumizing Lip Plumper
Juicy lips, no needles. This sheer, shimmer-infused hydrating gloss gives a plump, pillowy finish with a hint of tingle. Two universal shades — a cool, barely-there pink and a glowing copper — offer subtle iridescent color that’s great as a stand-alone or topper.
VOESH - Heel Repair Duo
For feet that could use some TLC is this balm stick + heel-sock combo that softens dry, cracked heels fast using vegan squalane, macadamia, and wild mint oils. The mess-free format smells great and delivers visible replenishment after just one use.
Watch & Sea -| SEA MY LENGTH Scalp-to-Ends Flourishing Oil
This dreamy, lightweight, ocean-inspired oil both feeds the scalp and smooths the ends with biotin, sea botanicals, and a little bit of luxury. Use pre-shampoo or post-style for softness and scalp support. Especially recommended for fragile edges or protective styles.
