Natural beauty is no longer just a trend – it’s a new way of life for some consumers and a whole new category for mainstream beauty products. Brands big and small are jumping on the natural beauty bandwagon in order to better our environments and our appearances; however, there are a few brands who have been providing natural beauty products from the get-go.
Whether you have been looking to reduce your eco-footprint, or are after a more transparent ingredients list, here are our picks for brands that are leading the charge when it comes to natural beauty:
Nude by Nature Natural Mineral Cover Foundation
Nude by Nature’s Natural Mineral Cover Foundation is a cruelty-free, fragrance-free and vegan loose mineral powder foundation that delivers sheer to full coverage with a satin radiant finish, and SPF 15. The feather-light Natural Mineral Cover Foundation formula adapts naturally to skin tones, evens out complexion, covers redness and pigmentation, and conceals enlarged pores. The powder is composed of 100 per cent natural ingredients including jojoba esters to nourish the skin and kaolin clay for a radiant flawless complexion.
Proving just how much Nude by Nature’s products have changed the natural beauty game, Nude by Nature’s Mineral Cover is the number one selling cosmetic product (medium) within the AU pharmacy channel (covers Priceline, Chemist Warehouse and independent pharmacy) and has been for the last three years. Also, in Priceline, Natural Mineral Cover topped the best-seller list during their 40 per cent off sale in Nov 2016, after selling three every minute over the 48-hour period.

Ingestible beauty is one of 2018s hottest wellness trends, and Skin Physics Collagen Beauty Elixer is leading the charge.

This innovative inner beauty supplement harnesses the scientific proven benefits of Collagen-Bio Peptides.
