Whether you have your own potential health concerns regarding non-natural products, or you just prefer to keep things more natural based on preference, the best natural skincare products can be just the ticket for you. According to Renée A. Beach, MD, FRCPC, a dermatologist and founder of DermAtelier on Avenue in Toronto, “There are definitely aspects of skincare products touted as ‘natural’ that clean as well as others on the market.”

It’s important to realize, as Dr. Beach explains, that “There is no real definition of natural skin care products,” but she adds that  “many products contain botanicals or other vitamins which help to reduce redness or brown tones, or improve skin cell turnover.” She also explains that “people can consider use of [natural products] for a specific concern (e.g. using a cream with Arnica in it for redness; eg. using licorice extract to help reduce hyperpigmentation )”.

Finally, Dr. Shasa Hu, a board-certified dermatologist and Dr. Brandt skin advisory board member tells us, “Consumers should also know that almost all over-the-counter skin care products will have a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients, and most of the synthetic ingredients are safe and inert. For example, many moisturizing body washes contain synthetic ceramides and fatty lipids to help restore skin barrier.” So, it’s worth being aware that just because something may say “natural”, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t also include some ingredients that are synthetic as well.

We compiled a list of our favorite natural skincare products on the market, making sure to include a variety of ingredients, facial product styles, and price points. Read on to upgrade your skincare game, naturally!
