While we’re all practising social distancing, using products that are eco-friendly helps us feel more connected to nature (even if we’re stuck indoors). Below, our top spring beauty picks that are kind to the planet. —Vicki Duong
upfront cosmetics. Entirely vegan, the shampoo and conditioner bars—each one the equivalent of three liquid bottles—from Upfront Cosmetics (from $13) keep your locks luscious without plastic packing.
mifa and co. Founded with the belief that nature knows best, Mifa and Co.’s Eucalyptus Mood Mist ($38) will leave you feeling like you just left the spa (from back in the day when just leaving the spa was a thing). The mist is a combo of lavender water with tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils with absolutely no synthetic fragrances, so you can feel good about spraying this on yourself, in your shower to unwind and even over your sheets for extra relaxation.
woodlot. While we’re all washing our hands more diligently than ever, it’s nice when we can "suds-up" with Canadian handmade soaps from Woodlot ($10). With the ethos of petal to potion, the soaps are nourishing, with a variety of armothethapic blends available. Our fave: the Cinder scent, which smells like cedar.
garnier bio. New from Garnier, the Bio line features a range of certified-organic prods formulated to be vegan-friendly while extracting the power of plants to give you your best skin ever. The new Micellar Water ($13) removes every trace of makeup without leaving skin feeling stripped, plus it’s enhanced with renewably sourced cornflower.
luna nectar. Unwind naturally with the Luna Nectar Nocturne Oil ($33) blended to help reduce stress and promote a more restful slumber. When we’re stressed (case in point: now), our magnesium levels drop significantly. Luckily, this magnesium oil, which can be applied directly to your skin, can help you gain some rebalance—pandemic or not.
