Share this affordable beauty guide!

Share this with a friend, pin it, post it on Facebook and IG – WHY? Because price should not be the gatekeeper to safe and effective skincare and makeup. Spread the word sisters! Just like clean food, everyone should have access to nontoxic personal care products. Especially the products we keep on our skin all day long like these 8 items.

RELATED: Nontoxic Makeup On A Budget

So if price is the reason why you haven’t taken the leap yet, or if you are just trying to save up for some Melissa Button Boots and not blow it all on a face mask. I’m here for you!

The thing that makes this guide unique

#1. It’s exhaustive. After living and breathing clean beauty for the past 3 years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and trying so many brands. By sheer exposure alone, I’ve been able to round up the most effective yet affordable brands that are currently on the market – over 50 to be exact!

#2. Most buying guides are a cut and paste situation by an freelance writer or an online publication. This guide has been a multi-year research project and I’ve tried and vetted most everything on this list. And not only that, I am directing you to my faves from each brand and the products I know work.

#3. I’m hooking it up with exclusive coupon codes – some as high as 20% off! Which is an anomaly in itself because most of these brands are providing quality product with very small margins to begin with and to offer 20% off on top of that is just A STEAL.

#4. Sure there are other “green brands” that are affordable – just walk into any Target or drug store and you will see them in the “natural” section. But here’s the thing. When the price is low, formulations suffer. It introduces cheaper ingredients, fillers, harsher preservatives and more. I’m not talking about those brands today. I’m talking about real, clean beauty brands who formulate with integrity. I mean how about a titanium dioxide free foundation powder for only $6.95 or a clean shampoo that actually works for around $10 – yeah, I’ve got THREE!

#5. Everything on this list is under $30 – with just two exceptions for two products that bring a crazy bang for their $30-something buck.

#6. I’ve set you up with the cheapest places to buy. If I have a coupon code for you, I’m linking to that site’s store so you can take advantage. If it’s available on Amazon, I’m linking there too for easy buying – and noting if it’s cheaper. However, as we all know, Amazon’s prices fluctuate daily so it’s worth a click to compare either way.

HAIRCARE

I’ve been on a YEARS long quest to find clean shampoo and conditioners under $10 that actually work. It’s not worth it to save money if you wash your hair and its still dirty. These three brands are not perfect but have the cleanest ingredients I’ve found at the most affordable price points that actually still work!

Keep in mind, like most shampoos (green or other) doing 2+ rounds of washing will always give you the cleanest hair. And it’s also important to part your hair and apply product to your scalp so you are getting to the grease/root. Don’t just wash your hair, wash your scalp and you will have more success – promise. Most washes I do 2 rounds of shampoo. The first round usually doesn’t foam as much but the second one does and that’s where the magic happens. Depending on how long its been, sometimes I do three rounds!

---

45. Desert Essence

I’ve tried their Smoothing Shampoo/Conditioner and their Anti-Breakage Shampoo/Conditioner. These foam and they both work! $10

Shop Desert Essence on Amazon!

---

46. Andalou Naturals

Sometimes you can find this shampoo + conditioner on Amazon for less than $8 each! Foams and cleans.

Also trying their hairspray because it’s less than $8 and I hear it holds like a champ!

Shop Andalou on Amazon!

---

47. Attitude

Attitude is EWG verified and WORKS! I went a week without washing my hair last month and Attitude stepped up to the plate delivering a full head of bouncy, light and clean hair. I did 3 rounds of washing to give it a fair chance and it worked. It really worked! Available on Amazon! $13

Other ways to save

48-51. Beauty subscriptions

There are a handful of organic beauty subscriptions on the market that continue to deliver month after month without compromising ingredients. I’m talking the best of the best that green beauty has to offer at a FRACTION of the cost. Last month Boxwalla delivered a plant-based retinol serum by African Botanics that retails for $250 and we got it for LESS THAN $50!!!

• Beauty Heroes – The best of the best. A guaranteed $90 minimum value for $42.95/month. Three-month commitment.
• Boxwalla – Delivering things that must be discovered. A true delight! $49.95/mo. No monthly commitment.
• The Detox Box – Drops heavy hitters in organic beauty. A $90 minimum value for $55/mo. No commitment.

Two in Ones

There’s really no better way to save than investing in products that do double duty. Investing in 5 great products is better than buying 10. And this way you can spend a little more but know that you will get the most out of it.

• RMS Magic Luminizer – Love this on cheek bones but I also love it over eyelids for a quick wash of holy-bright-eye-Batman! $38
• Bless Beauty Balm – Love this as a makeup remover but it also doubles as a moisturizer. So good! $54

Coconut Oil

Now let’s be honest. What would this post be without mentioning coconut oil!? I love using coconut oil as a makeup remover. It’s especially great at removing mascara. And there are other oils I like to buy in bulk too that are super effective and less money when you buy off brand. Buy in bulk and save.

• Coconut Oil as a makeup remover and shave oil – PSST, the cheapest organic coconut oil is at Trader Joes for $4!
• Jojoba Oil as a moisturizer – it sinks in the fastest of all the oils, $8
• Argan Oil for a hair and beard – good for body too. $10
