7 Indie Natural Beauty Brand Products You'll Love

Want to save the planet but don't know where to begin? Try starting with your bathroom counter and seeking out indie natural beauty brand products that won't harm you or the environment! Though diving into the world of natural beauty might seem daunting, there are so many wonderful resources and products out there that make gradually switching over easier than you think.

At the first annual Indie Beauty Expo in Manhattan, all brands featured are focused on providing natural beauty products meant to nourish us on the inside and outside. These companies are committed to not testing on animals, never using known carcinogenic ingredients and parabens, and often sourcing organic wherever possible.

Even adding one natural beauty product to your shelf is a huge step in a positive direction. Given how the beauty industry is not FDA regulated and lacks labeling requirements, knowing what's safe or not isn't an easy process. Supporting indie retailers providing complete transparency on their ingredients from the get-go is a way to help end this mad, dangerous cycle. If you're looking for even more of a breakdown on ingredients to try and always avoid in your beauty routine, check out this list from InnersenseBeauty.
