6 Feel-Good Products From Walmart For a More Mindful Beauty Routine

There’s a lot we want to get out of our beauty products: hard-working formulas, easy applications, and real results. What we’re not always game for? Some of the potentially questionable stuff like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. Being ingredient-conscious and knowing exactly what you’re putting on your skin can make you feel better about your routine.

The only caveat? Between back-to-back virtual meetings, researching what seems to be your 37th trendy face mask, reading ingredient lists is probably the last thing you want to do. So we did the hard work for you by teaming up with Walmart to help you find a beauty routine that omits those controversial ingredients. Their Mindful Beauty selection gives you an easy way to create an effortless look from head to toe with products that you can feel good about. Dive in to see some of the ways you can reinvent your routine.

COOLA Signature Classic Travel Kit Collection

It’s likely the extent of your “traveling” these days is from your kitchen to your couch, but these mini versions are super useful for giving you an intro to new brands or products you haven’t tried before. This four-piece set provides organic sun protection with a refreshing cucumber-scented face moisturizer, a body spray (it smells like a piña colada), and lip balm, each with SPF 30. Plus, for those days you (oops) forget to protect, an after-sun lotion. Toss ‘em in your bag so you’re always ready to hang outdoors.

The Lip Bar Matte Liquid Lipstick

Lipstick is one of those makeup products that instantly turn us from sleep-deprived zombies into polished superheroes. This matte, highly pigmented option offers that kind of magic: One swipe and your smile gets bigger, you stand a little taller and you have a confident swagger in your step. Good lip vibes, indeed.

Hairitage An Apple A Day Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse

As the saying goes, “an apple a day keeps the scalp buildup away.” Okay, we know that’s not the original phrase, but hear us out: Apple cider vinegar is one of those star ingredients that gently clarifies all hair types without stripping the natural oils that make your hair look shiny and healthy. Use this rinse (available only at Walmart) once a week by leaving it on for up to five minutes after you shampoo, then rinse out. FYI: It’s also great for cleansing protective styles (it doesn’t bubble up) or when you’re skipping a shampoo.

Habit Cosmetics Non-Toxic Nail Polish in 25 Disco

This nail polish is the kind all other nail polishes aspire to be. It's sustainably packed with a removable bamboo cap, and the certified-organic, non-toxic polishes contain myrrh, which is a natural nail strengthener. There’s over 30 different shades, but we can’t help but gravitate towards the ones that add a little touch of shimmer to our day—because why not?

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Happy Glow Multi-Colored Blush in Rose

There’s a time and a place for glitter and sparkle, but there’s always the right opportunity for glow. This cheery powder compact is a two-in-one bronzer and illuminator that can be layered as a finishing touch to your makeup look or on bare skin for a buildable pop of color. As the name suggests, it’s infused with specific natural plant extracts (namely violet) that have the same effect as an endorphin boost. These days we’ll never say no to that.

Cleen Beauty Sleep Mask With Avocado & Hemp Butter

If you want a mask that’s kind of like the beauty product version of that overachiever in high school, try this Walmart-exclusive. This leave-on gel mask has a weightless, non-sticky consistency that works with just a very thin layer (so it won’t clog pores — or mess up your bedding). As you sleep, the mix of hemp seed oil and avocado butter replenish dry, patchy skin. Simply splash your face with water in the morning and your skin will feel hydrated and look brighter.
