13 Organic Beauty Products You Can Trust

Did you know the organic and natural beauty product market has grown 23% in the last year?

That’s a lot more people searching for organic skincare and choosing to support organic in their beauty regimes.

Plus the other stats from the Soil Association 2020 Organic Market Report are encouraging.

87% of brands customers feel passionate about supporting environmental initiatives
64% of consumers are now looking for products with recyclable packaging
56% of people said they looked for logos because it allowed them to support the causes they care about.

However, mostly the organic and clean beauty markets aren’t regulated – there’s no global certification for what constitutes organic beauty or skincare, so as long as there is more than 1% organic ingredients, a product can be labelled organic.

The Soil Association is trying to combat that by being the organic beauty label you can trust, so we decided to round up some of our favourite – certified – organic skincare brands.

We talk a lot on pebble about sustainable skincare and beauty – from plastic free packaging to vegan friendly choices but organic can underpin all of that.

This is what organic beauty means:

Sustainably sourced ingredients
No controversial chemicals or pesticides
No animal testing
No synthetic colours, dyes or fragrances
Protects wildlife and biodiversity
Minimal packaging with a focus on it being recycled
