A Delectable Treat for Skin
You can count the number of ingredients in this body lotion on one hand: organic cocoa butter, shea butter, hempseed oil and coconut oil. It smells sweet -- like chocolate -- and makes skin feel extremely soft and silky. The packaging is too cute for words -- each glass container is decorated with animal illustrations by one of the co-founders.

A Cleanser for Gentle Skin
This creamy cleanser is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, and contains nourishing ingredients like organic aloe vera, coconut oil and cucumber extract. It softly lathers and gently removes makeup and other impurities. Pick it up the next time you run to Whole Foods to restock on sprouted mung beans and pink Himalayan salt (or, more accurately, to raid the Prepared Foods department).

A Detox for Congested Skin
Activated charcoal is all the rage in skin care. The supercleansing ingredient helps detox skin and pull out impurities, nixing oiliness, acne and blackheads. This cleansing bar can be used on your face or body (buh-bye, bacne); it also contains, as the name suggests, lycopene-rich tomatoes.

A Classic Brand With New Ideas
Kiss My Face may have been around for decades, but they're still rolling out new, innovative products like this mineral spray sunscreen (the first of its kind!). It contains no yucky ingredients (like SLS and parabens) or chemical sunscreens. And in case you're worried that the spray applicator isn't eco-friendly, let me calm your fears: it's air-powered.

An SPF Lotion That Isn't Greasy
Any skin care obsessive is well aware of the importance of a good sunscreen-containing moisturizer; they're also aware that finding one is incredibly tough, even before you put the "inexpensive" and "natural" filters on the process.
Enter: Burt's Bees Renewal Firming Day Lotion. Broad spectrum SPF 30 keeps your skin protected from sun damage, and a blend of apple and hibiscus provide intense hydration and anti-aging, respectively. The lightweight formula soaks into skin quickly and doesn't leave it feeling greasy.
