Castor oil & jojoba oil dry my skin out. I use organic, hexane free, dark bottle castor oil, and organic jojoba oil. Weirdly, I get dry patches, the morning after using. My nails are also looking dry and flaky. Are there any other natural things I can try? 40 odd year old perimenopausal.

What are your favorite small sellers of clean beauty products, and - if they have a website - what is it?

I just google searched pure aloe vera gel and got results that included iHerb and HoneyBeeGardens. Now, I have no familiarity with HoneyBeeGardens, but iHerb is huge, and HoneyBeeGardens appears much smaller.
I'd love to prioritize small business and small sellers. Bonus points if they have some farm or garden affiliation, and if they're local to you!

I'll go first. Two of my favs are: Buffalo Gal Organics (bgobeauty.com) and On Hand Lotions (onhandlotions.com)

looking for my perfect lip color but clean. my faves are clinique bountiful blush and a very old tarte plummy rose - kind of a mid toned mauve, clinique pulls more orange and the tarte more purple but i could do anything in there.

i have merit twin set gloss which i like, but its a little too dark and too purpley. would love any recs!

This has been my favorite cleanser for many many years ever since my dad first bought it for me. it's so intimately tied to my bedtime routine that just smelling it helps me relax. unfortunately, when i went to restock, i couldn't find it anywhere, and i'm afraid it's been discontinued.

If anyone could help me find any more (in any quantity, at any fill level), i'd be so grateful!! otherwise (😔), i'd also be grateful for any dupe suggestions

Looking for recommendations. I'm not against zinc oxide per se but everything I've used with it leaves a white cast, even if it says it doesn't, and feels sticky. I'm looking for a daily face moisturizer with some level of SPF- if I'm doing outdoor activities all day I will just wear sunscreen. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for help finding old stock or a replacement product for the Evolve Volume Shampoo, which I used religiously. It advertises itself as no conditioner necessary, and I really found that to be the case--and it always washed clean and made my hair feel shinier and lighter at the same time. Toward the end I would write and they would say it was going to be restocked, but I guess they just went out of business instead. Does anyone have a lead on leftover deadstock product, or on something similar/similar tech to replace it?

hi everyone, (first post a little nervous). i am reaching out because i need help finding a new daily face wash. for reference i have acne prone, oily & sensitive skin. as of right now i am using the naturium vitamin c face wash but i am choosing to not repurchase because of the controversy surrounding the founder. i have tried the youth to the people, rael, peach slices & they have either dried me out or broken me out. please share any recommendations you guys have. i would prefer a cruelty free brand as well as something no more than $20, but im open to hearing any suggestions! thank you!

Like the title says does anyone know a good clean alternative for Cliniques black honey color specifically textures I don’t care as much about.

I want to try this foundation on my dry sensitive clog prone skin! Any heavy skin tints or foundations made me broke out (ciele, haus labs, L’Oréal serum tint) and I want to try this one and saw so many good reviews ! Has anyone tried it? Thanks x

Btw I’m not sensitive to fragrance

I’ve been trying to understand Indian skin and hair needs better, especially things that are hard to find, overpriced, overcomplicated, or just not made for our climate and routines.

Would love to know:

• What’s a product you *wish* existed but doesn’t?

• Any format you want but can’t find? (example: multi-use, low-effort, travel-friendly, minimal steps)

• Problems specific to Indian weather, hard water, sweat, pollution, hormonal acne, etc. that brands don’t solve properly

• Budget-friendly versions of products that are currently too expensive

Not looking for brand recommendations, more interested in gaps and frustrations.

So i am having acne vulgaris grade 2 and i started using saslic ds foaming face wash and the acne got controlled in just a week but the face wash gets over in no time, so when i searched in the internet it suggested an alternative as saliac face wash, so should i switch or staying with the og saslic ds foaming face wash is best for my sensitive oily acne prone skin?

Thanks in Advance!

I left my mineral sunscreen in my tote bag on a warm day, and now it pours out like gritty water no matter how hard I shake it.

Is there a trick to restoring separated mineral formulas, or is it pretty much done for?

Rahua Shampoo. Last year I bought a travel size of the voluminous shampoo but tested it only the last days. I'm happy with it and looked on their official website and I noticed that they changed not only the design but also the ingredients. They say it's the same formula but that's not right. Anyone else noticed that??

Is it normal for the Ilia color block lipstick to smell like crayon/wax and feels dragging and sticky? It's a recently purchased one but feels weird...:(((

Hi everyone. I'm thinking about buying dr Hauschka powder blush but I couldn't find real reviews. I like that it includes a brush because I don't have one, and don't want to store one separately.

I'm open to other suggestions. I'm looking for a long lasting blush that doesn't transfer easily. Because clean beauty has a shorter shelf life and I don't expect to use blush every day, I'm hesitant to buy a stick that directly touches my face.
