Fall Clean Beauty Roundup
Our Summer Beauty Starter Pack was such a hit, we decided to create one for Fall. Each one of these picks have been our saving grace as the weather is just starting to change, giving us a glimpse of shorter and colder days, but -- because of where we live -- still beachside and equally as beautiful.
Natural Deodorant by Freedom ($13.59)
First things first, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we’ve all heard that the ingredients in the everyday deodorant we get from the drug store can be linked to breast cancer. After three of Ira Kaganovsky Green’s closest friends were diagnosed with breast cancer, she was determined to create a brand that offered safe body care alternatives, bringing the synergy of nature’s goods into each of her products. FREEDOM launched in 2016 with their all-natural deodorant line (which uses ingredients like Organic Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Arrowroot, and Essential Oils) and has since expanded to a variety of body care products, including sanitizer wipes, shower mists, lip balms, hand sanitizers, travel deodorants, and sprays. USA-made, aluminum free, paraben free, cruelty free, phthalate free, and all natural, as well as EWG verified, they only use the cleanest ingredients possible.
CBD Scalp + Body Oil by Philip B ($95)
This broad-spectrum CBD Scalp + Body Oil is formulated with a trifecta of components from the cannabis plant, Philip B’s latest product pairs 100mg of CBD, 25mg of CBG, and Terpenes (a major component of the essential oils from plants) to create a serum elixir that is fast absorbing and deeply moisturizing, soothing and calming stressed-out scalps and skin. While the change of season can bring about a variety of environmental stressors, this serum helps reduce the appearance of redness and irritation and it can even help relieve pain, regulate mood, and cure sleep problems. Formulated with Jojoba Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Sesame Oil, and Walnut Oil it’s suitable for all skin types.
Derma Sheet Masks by LAPCOS ($14 for a pack of 5)
In a crowded and oversaturated market, LAPCOS masks stand apart for their nourishing serums, rich in high performance nutrients and uniquely complemented by soothing fabrics. Cruelty, paraben, and sulfate-free they come in a variety of different variations formulated to treat different skin concerns. Try the Hyaluronic to moisturize, Tea Tree for relief, Propolis for skin nutrition, and Multi Vita for brightening effects.
Youthing Peel Off Mask by beauteani ($48)
beauteani is a tea-inspired beauty brand created by Arpeeta Oberai, a former corporate Sephora employee who found inspiration in the power of tea leaves and the ritualistic roots of her Indian heritage, combining the two with her innate love for all things beauty. beauteani offers such self-care rituals as facial masks and ingestible teas, revolutionizing the way we experience self-care with a powerhouse of ancient herbal blends that focus on our bodies and mind. Best used together, each product holds super potent skin-loving ingredients like herbs, spices, fruits and flowers that work topically and internally for unmatched results. For seriously younger-looking skin try the aptly named “I.D. Please” Youthing mask and tea.
ClearBalm 3-Step System by Balm Labs ($176)
Because we often don’t have time for intensive skincare routines, ClearBalm’s 3-step skincare system was developed to battle skincare troubles like hormonal acne for even the most sensitive of skin. A comprehensive system full of powerful, plant-based ingredients that takes just three minutes to tackle, ClearBalm is specifically designed by celebrity Dermatologist Dr. Robin Schaffran to address the complex needs of stressed, sensitive, or acne-prone adult skin. The clarifying formulations focus on balancing the skin and improving the overall texture and tone. With stress at an all time high, the ClearBalm system enables you to maintain healthy skin with a dermatologist-approved formula, packed full of plant-based actives -- all in the time it takes to brush your teeth.
Strengthening Set by Hugh & Grace ($155)
Founded by Sara and Ben Jensen after an unexplained infertility journey, this first-of-its-kind, hormone-safe skincare brand (which just launched October 1st) is rooted in self-care and clean, effective ingredients. The couple found that chemical body load, hormone disruptors, and EDC’s can cause infertility and many other serious conditions, so they set out to create a brand that reduces the use of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Named with love after their son, Hugh, and daughter, Grace, the brand’s debut product trio of Restoring Face Serum, Protecting Body Oil, and a Purifying Cleansing Bar each has its own unique formula and purpose that works in tandem to combat the hormone disruptors that lead to toxicity in the body.
Nail Polish by Bess + Color ($16)
Perfect hues for fall, Bess + Color is a USA-made brand who is serious about providing non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free products for their clients. They ship in compostable and biodegradable packaging and are committed to not adding excess waste to the planet. Each color palette is inspired by Wes Anderson films, making each polish a mini work of art. And the best part? Each bottle can be repurposed for storing beads, essentials, or as a mini flower vase. How very Wes Anderson of you!
The Sunny Eyes by THE ROUTE ($65)
Founded by Newport Beach-based Nurse Nancy and her BFF Courtney Baber, THE ROUTE’s products contain a cocktail of ingredients that are aimed to combat the classic causes of aging. When the two friends couldn’t find a beauty brand that had everything they needed -- vegan, cruelty-free, safe for sensitive skin, and one that actually worked -- they created one themselves. With beautiful luminosity in every product, their products are hydrating and plumping, and, with a Phospholipid base, have even been known to boost mood.

Her Collagen Lift Cream is a 4-in-1 wonder product that can be used as a day cream, night cream, eye contour, or neck & décolleté cream.
