9 all-natural cosmetic brands we love

Below, we highlight what each of these incredible natural brands can offer. With iconic formulas that always respect your skin and nature, these are the brands that nature loves needs to try.

Evolve Organic Beauty

Natural, organic, & vegan

Founded in the UK, Evolve Organic Beauty formulates all the products with natural and organic ingredients, clearly communicating what goes into each product and why. More than just prioritizing natural ingredients, Evolve allows you to trace the ingredients’ sourcing, all the while favoring responsible production. Their range of products goes from cleansers, serums, and masks, as well as body care. Each product reflects a belief that natural beauty is about simplicity, efficacy, and respect for skin balance. Try Evolve formulas to create a routine featuring botanical oils, butters, and botanical extracts that will visibly transform your skin. To start out, we recommend the best-seller Cotton Fresh Deodorant Cream!


UpCircle

Natural ingredient upcycling

UpCircle Beauty redefines natural beauty through circular economy. If you’re familiar with the concept of upcycling, which involves reutilizing byproducts that would be disposed of as waste, then the name of the brand reveals its purpose from the start. Using ingredients that would otherwise go to waste, such as coffee grounds or fruit stones, UpCircle Beauty develops skincare products that improve your routine daily. This approach is less about trend-driven “green” positioning and more about rethinking resource use within cosmetics manufacturing (and, if you ask us, this is the way to go!). UpCircle Beauty pairs upcycled materials with other plant-derived ingredients, building formulas that are not only natural but also mindful of their environmental footprint.


Mádara

Certified natural

Mádara enriches natural beauty by harnessing the resilience of Northern European plants that thrive in harsh climates. Through biotechnological research applied to plant-based ingredients, Mádara is able to get the best of nature directly to your skincare and makeup formulas. Featuring botanical extracts that walk their talk, like birch, moss, and other Nordic plants, these formulas deliver the results you’re looking for, often associated with a pleasant botanical scent that takes the experience one step further. Mádara‘s facial skincare is a great place to start!


Antipodes

Science-powered botanicals

Channeling New Zealand’s biodiversity and native botanicals such as manuka honey, kiwi seed oil, and vinanza grape extracts, Antipodes is a certified natural skincare brand that collaborates with researchers to test key ingredients and make sure they belong in your skincare formulas. Here’s the proof that natural skincare doesn’t have to reject scientific progress and technology! In short, we can say that Antipodes presents natural beauty as a synergy between nutrient-rich plant ingredients and evidence-based skincare.


Weleda

An holistic vision of beauty

Founded in 1921, Weleda was born from a holistic vision of beauty grounded in anthroposophy, an approach that strives for a healthy balance between body, mind, and spirit. Since 1922, when Weleda‘s established their first herb garden, their own gardens have grown, and there are now six spread around the world. These biodynamic gardens, managed by trusted long-term farming partners that ensure responsible cultivation, are the source of many ingredients used in your favorite formulas of the brand. One iconic example is the Skin Food Rich Intensive Skin Care, reflecting the philosophy of straightforward formulations designed to nourish and protect the skin.


The Organic Pharmacy

Pharmaceutical expertise

The Organic Pharmacy combines herbal tradition with pharmaceutical expertise to create formulas with a high percentage of natural and organic ingredients, focusing on purity of raw materials. From antioxidant-rich serums to botanical cleansers, each product combines the perfect balance of natural ingredients to improve your skincare routine. One good example is the formula we’re featuring, a natural Self Tan to get the sun-kissed look you want with a natural formula.


NUXE

Luxurious scents & textures

NUXE focuses on natural-origin ingredients just as much as it goes for sensoriality and scientific research. Born in France, the brand became known for iconic formulas, such as Huile Prodigieuse®, combining plant oils with carefully selected botanicals. Rather than rejecting synthetic components, NUXE blends them together with the natural extracts whenever necessary for safety, stability, or performance. This balance allows NUXE to present natural-inspired skincare that is both refined and science-backed. Its floral signature scent will keep you coming back for more.


Freshly

Digital-native natural brand

Freshly Cosmetics is a digital-native brand that prioritizes natural ingredients. By investing in dermatological testing and disclosing the ingredients used as well as their detailed actions, Freshly connects the user to the formula, promoting informed and conscious consumption. Equally important, the products have lovely textures and scents, packed in colorful packaging that further improves the experience of daily skincare application. The skincare range is a great starting point, and we particularly love the Vitamin C Concentrate Serum.


Caudalie

Vineyard inspiration

From Bordeaux to the world, Caudalie integrates grape-derived ingredients into skincare developed in collaboration with scientific researchers. The brand’s concept of natural beauty is closely tied to vinotherapy and the antioxidant potential of grape polyphenols and resveratrol. Emphasizing responsible sourcing and eco-design initiatives, Caudalie maintains a strong focus on clinical evaluation and product safety to deliver the best results. The Beauty Elixir is the product that better summarizes the brand, as it beautifies the skin all the while creating a comfortable, refreshing, and fragrant experience.
