Faith in Nature Shea & Argan Hair Mask
The on-and-off lockdowns over the past 18 months have left more of you looking for salon-worthy results at home – and this nourishing mask has done the trick. Enriched with Community Fair Trade Shea Butter and Argan Oil, it smoothes and softens all hair types, including curly and Afro hair. Antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamin E help you maintain healthy, hydrated and manageable hair from root to tip. And it’s made with organic extracts, is cruelty-free, certified by the Vegan Society, and comes in 100% recycled and recyclable packaging. (£6.99, 300ml) Buy now
Dr Organic Guava Shower Gel
With its fresh, invigorating scent and gentle formula, it’s no wonder this exotic shower gel is your winner for the second year in a row. Guava has been used for centuries for its invigorating and anti-aging effects, thanks to the wide range of vitamins and antioxidants contained in this tropical fruit. If a heavenly smelling bathroom isn’t enough, it also lathers well and leaves you feeling refreshed and energized. (£6.99, 250ml) Buy now
Jason Mineral Sunscreen SPF30
It’s important to make sure you’re safe in the sun without harming the planet – so this mineral sunscreen is a clear winner for you. Reef safe and biodegradable, with broad spectrum protection – it really is the total package. It is easy to rub in, non-greasy, water-resistant and suitable for people with sensitive skin. (£14.99, 113g) Buy now
Highly praised
Badger Unscented SPF30 Clear Zinc Sunscreen
This clever sunscreen starts white thanks to protective zinc oxide but applies clear. Lightweight, moisturizing and fragrance-free, it is suitable for the whole family. Thanks to the antioxidant-rich base of anti-inflammatory sunflower oil, it’s even suitable for people with dry skin like eczema. (£21.99, 82g) Buy now
Thick cotton pads from Holland & Barrett
As an environmentally conscious person, you are always looking for new ways to reduce waste. Therefore, these reusable cotton pads are a no-brainer. With their towel-like texture, they remove makeup more effectively than disposable pads and won’t dissolve when they come into contact with stubborn mascara. Simply top up with micellar water or cleanser and be surprised or slightly disgusted at the amount of dirt that comes off the pad. And when you’re done, just throw them in the wash! (£8, 6 blocks) Buy now
Vitaskin Vitamin C Collagen Boosting Serum
Most dermatologists agree that if you’re going to add just one ingredient to your beauty routine, vitamin C should be the way to go—and it turns out you think so too. This serum is formulated with a specially selected range of ingredients to visibly plump skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines whilst brightening skin to leave it looking radiant from within. (£18, 30ml) Buy now
Editor’s Choice
REN Ready Steady Glow Tonic
Hands down our favorite exfoliator, this lactic and azelaic acid blend is gentle but effective, removing dead cells and evening out skin tone. It visibly brightens and provides immediate results. It’s our go-to when we need an instant glow. It is also equipped with a practical pressure pump. (£27, 250ml) Buy now
Neocell super collagen powder
Collagen has certainly had a big hit this year, and for you, Neocell’s super collagen powder was the front runner. Made from collagen types 1 and 3, just one scoop per day in your tea, coffee or smoothie delivers 6600 mg of high quality, hydrolyzed collagen peptides. It is easily absorbed and supports healthy collagen formation for radiant, youthful skin as well as strong, beautiful hair and nails. It also benefits bone, joint and muscle health and you’ll love how easy it is to fit into your lifestyle. (£22.99, 198g) Buy now
