It's not enough for beauty products to work or have aesthetically pleasing packaging. In an ideal world, anything we purchase will be made with sustainability in mind — and this is something the beauty industry has latched onto big time. While green-washing is very much a thing, there are plenty of sustainable beauty brands — and in the spirit of Earth Month, we're sharing some of our favorites.

Whether your go-to moisturizer, blush, or hair product features responsibly sourced ingredients, refillable packaging (or, even better, naked), a nifty recyclable or take-back program, or a combination of the above, we polled R29 editors to divulge the sustainable beauty products of their skin-care routines. Peruse 12 of our clean, conscious faves in the following slides.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
