The Best Green Beauty Products I'm Loving Lately

primally pure deodorant

It has been far too long since I shared some new green beauty products with you. But my love for all things green beauty and skincare hasn't gone anywhere. And this is why I want to share the best green beauty products I've been loving lately. I do try and keep in mind different price points and budgets, so that I can provide different options for everyone.

This post was originally published June 27, 2019. This blog post has been updated as of March 2, 2021.

Sometimes I still can't believe how far the green beauty industry has come over the years. I've been using natural skincare and beauty products for over 5 years now and the growth I have seen has been amazing. There are so many new brands and products coming out that not only rival conventional ones, but actually perform better in many areas.

Here are my latest and best green beauty products that I have been using and loving lately!

Best Green Beauty Products: Makeup

Sensual Skin Trio, RMS

I love this new palette from RMS so much. It combines the best of RMS cult favourite luminizers and lip2cheek in powder form. If you aren't familiar with RMS luminizers they have been a favourite of mine for some time.

The trio includes:

  • A bronzer to warm up the skin
  • A highlighter to add some glow and
  • A blush for a nice, rosy flush

These go on the skin beautifully and if you are looking for a way to add some highlight from RMS but don't want to use a cream formula this is a great option.

Super Fine Eyebrow Pencil Automatique, Kimiko Beauty

HOLY MOLY you guys! This is by far, hands down, the BEST thing I have ever used on my brows. It is superfine and gives a totally natural look for your brows, which is exactly what you want, right!

I had high expectations when I purchased this product and it delivered on EVERY level.

Here's how it works:

  • Unlike other brow pencils, this ones low-oil formula strikes the perfect balance between the warmth and depth of its shades.
  • The twist-up precision point allows brows to be constructed with strokes that look like individual hairs - for truly realistic brows.
  • The buildable formula can be customized with pressure and it's 'dry' nature withstands heat and humidity.

So yeah, it totally lasts all day, in the heat! I have light-medium brown hair and I use the shade coffee which is great for brunettes and dark blondes. Trust me, if you are looking for the perfect brow pencil, this is it!

Nudist Eyeshadow Palette, W3LL People

I love this eyeshadow palette in neutral/nude shades. All of the colours work so well together and they go on and stay on (no creasing!) all day.

All five shades can be worn on their own or blended of course. I like mixing the second shade to the left with the middle one and a little bit of the second one to the right.

Best Green Beauty Products: Skincare

Aloha Youth Serum, Honua Hawaiian Skincare

After going through a full bottle of this stuff, I am now on my second bottle! I truly love this product because it hydrates and makes your skin glow. It also leaves your skin feeling a little tighter too, which is always a good thing in my opinion.

Also, it doesn't feel like it is sitting on your skin, it truly is absorbed. You only need a small amount of this stuff, just one pump is good. I like mixing it with an oil for extra glow and hydration, but if you use it on its own, it still feels really nice. Last, it smells amazing!

Pa'akai Cleansing Cream, Honua Hawaiian Skincare

I've also been using this cleanser from Honua and I really love it. For my skin type (more on the dry side), I find cream cleansers work best. I still like to take off my eye makeup first with an oil and then I cleanse with a cream cleanser. This ensures that all my makeup is off and my face is ready for whatever else I apply after.

Last, this cleanser also has seaweed extract which helps to renew and gently exfoliate your skin. If you use it on its own, it still does a fairly good job at taking off all of your makeup.

Blue Aura Cleansing Water, Odacité

I was a bit hesitant about this product because I genuinely enjoy washing my face with water, but I definitely have grown to love this product. I don't use it at night, I still like giving my skin a good rinse, but this stuff is perfect for when you are on-the-go or after the gym. Obviously, if you have eye makeup on, you cannot use this to take it off, but if you want to rinse just the makeup off your face, this is a great solution.

The ingredients include neem, holy basil and turmeric which are infused in aloe vera juice, and paired with salicylic acid and grapefruit to combat pollutants. You can also use it in the morning as well to give your skin an extra cleanse.

Hydrating Accelerator, Josh Rosebrook

This multipurpose product has been one of my faves for a little while now and the love just continues to grow. I love using it after cleansing to prep my skin for the products that will go on next.

But it also works really well to set your makeup and to spritz when you need an extra boost of hydration as well. It also smells amazing too! And with close to 200 reviews, you can see for yourself why it is so popular.

Natural Deodorant

Blue Tansy Deodorant, Primally Pure:

I have found my FAVOURITE DEODORANT! I have previously written about my fave natural deodorants over here, which still holds true, however, this one has taken the top spot. The smell of blue tansy is probably one of my favourite scents in the world.

But more than just the beautiful smell, the deodorant actually works and goes on really well. It only contains a small amount of baking soda, so if you do find you are sensitive to it in other brands, you may be ok with this one.

It also goes on fairly clear and won't stain your clothes. A little goes a long way, so only apply one swipe under each armpit, otherwise you can end up with some residue leftover.

Hi Alison! The light orange and pink things are beets, I used candy cane and orange beets in addition to regular ones. In the opening paragraph I explained you can use any variety of beets. I also have photos of regular beets as well :)

But there are more items on your photo plate than are in the recipe. What are the light pinky/ orangey things? They not on your ingredient list. 😩😩

Hello! Ive recently been sent down the dairy/gluten free path. Not gonna lie its not ideal. I adore food and cooking and all things food. In a very sort space of time ive tried one million + recipes, the thing is, nothing comes close to your tahini sea salt cookies. Theyr ethe most sublime thing of all time, even pre cutting every out if have thought so. Its not too dramatic To call them my saviour. In fact without them i may have lapsed. Thank you a thousand times…. I’ll continue spreading the word and try and chill on how many im ploughing through.

Hello Jaclyn, Your slow-roasted salmon with citrus and fennel recipe is a culinary revelation! The method of slow roasting to achieve that perfectly juicy salmon, combined with the bright, bold flavors of the marinade, is a testament to your skill and creativity in the kitchen. I particularly appreciate the focus on simplicity and the infusion of fresh, vibrant ingredients which elevate the dish to a new level of deliciousness. Thank you for sharing this, and keep those flavors coming!

Hello Jaclyn, I understand it when you say, "...I know how hard it is (for women especially) to look in the mirror and hate what they see". I also understand the historical targeting of women's bodies to be thin from the promotion of whale bone corsets to Spanx "shapewear". But, as a man currently using incognito mode to Google the phrase "how to love yourself when you hate your weight" (because I'm too self-conscious and embarrassed to have it in my search history) let me just say a lot of us men had parents and other toxic influences that passed along the same warped motto, "look good = feel good". I'm just beginning my journey to self love. I have no doubt it will be HARD AF, but so is looking in the mirror everyday and hating what you see. Thanks for the article - lots of takeaways to start on!

Hi Angela! You can omit the tapioca flour here and add more AP flour (1/4 cup). Just be sure to use the spoon and level method when measuring for the best results. Please let me know how they turn out :)
Angela
October 10, 2023
Hi, recipe looks great! Just wondering if I use AP flour, do I still also need the tapioca flour, or can I sub the tapioca flour also for AP flour, or leave that measurement out? Just want to be sure I get the measurements right when I sub in AP flour. Thanks!

Thank you for a wonderful tasty recipe. Loved the flavour of the sage (from our garden) and I paired it with baby spinach also from our garden. So delicious, quick and easy. Oh and filling! 😋 Yum

Hi Kimberly, I'm not sure what you mean by the taste is off as I'm not there to try it myself. You can always try adding more salt, lemon juice or nutritional yeast to taste. If it needs to be creamier, you can try adding a splash of milk (oat, soy or regular) as well. I hope that helps :)
Jaclyn
September 25, 2023
Hi! Yes, you could prepare them a day in advance and then reheat them to serve them warm. I have tried them cold, but personally prefer them warmed slightly.
Kimberly

I made the roasted butternut squash sauce with nutritional yeast and sunflower seeds as your son has a cashew allergy; the taste is off... I'm not sure what to do to correct it. Any ideas?
September 23, 2023
Can these be prepared in advance ( earlier in day)? Served warm or cooled?

Thank you so much for this article. I love tofu but I’m still trying to learn how to use it. I tried the air fryer method but it came out very dry and rubbery. I did spray it with olive oil and spiced it. Maybe frozen tofu isn’t appropriate for air frying. I’m trying to cut back on oils but I’ll try your way! Thank you again ‼️

Hi Bridgette! Yes, you can use regular all purpose flour. Enjoy :)

This is a delicious decadent cake! Do much like a flourless chocolate torte. Only subs I made was a flax egg, and solid heavy coconut cream for the coconut butter. Definitely keep this recipe!

SO YUMMY!!! I've finally made a good baked oats with following your recipe :'). I didn't add the maple syrup or banana, instead a banana flavoured GoGoSqueeze lol! I believe adding the egg is the game changer, thank you for sharing!

This is a game changer! I always throw my tofu in the freezer when I buy it… but rarely remember to thaw it on time. And have always soaked it in hot water the sink, it takes f o r e v e r. Giving this a try right now - thank you!

Thank you for this recipe. I modified it a bit because I wanted to have it for breakfast. I only used 1 1/2 tsp of sugar and used oat flour in place of AP flour. I omitted the chocolate chips and topped with an all fruit jam after it finished cooking. Delicious and nutritious. Love it!

Made this recipe for my boyfriend and I on Halloween! It is the perfect fall dish. It is easy to make vegan, nut & gluten free if you use gluten free pasta and do the sunflower seed substitute. My non-vegan boyfriend loved it so much they have asked me to make it again! It is so creamy & has the perfect crunch with the sage and pumpkin seeds.

Hi Marnie! You could use about 3 to 4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast instead of parmesan.

Absolutely LOVE this recipe - it's delicious (especially for those that like a hint of spice)!! My finance and I are obsessed and it's become part of our weeknight recipe rotation. It has a limited number of ingredients, it's quick to make/cook, but despite all of that - looks and tastes like much more time was spent! Thanks for the great recipe Jaclyn!

I made this yesterday and HOLY MOLY it hit the spot!!! It’s been so hot and muggy out here, so I was craving something light, cool, and filling. This recipe did not disappoint. The flavor of the peanut sauce was delicious. It had been a while since I prepared something with such color and flavor, which made eating it that much better. I will definitely make this again and try your other recipes too!! 😍🙏🏻❤️

Hi Henrik! Thanks for letting me know you made them. Depending on the size of your food processor, it can be a lot to pulse all at once, so maybe working in batches is better. I'm glad you liked them and they firmed up for you :) Enjoy the rest!
henrik bechmann
July 25, 2022
Yep, they firmed up nicely. I'm freezing four, and looking forward to having the other four, dressed with sauerkraut, pickles, mustard, vegan mayo, onions, banana chiles, and maybe even ketchup. Yum!
henrik bechmann
July 25, 2022
Well I ended up baking them for 23 minutes (@400F). They're delicious! A bit soft, but I'm hoping they'll firm up when they cool. Texture is good too. Thanks for this!
henrik bechmann
July 24, 2022
Seems like a good and tasty recipe. But I had to add a generous half cup of water to get any kind of movement in the food processor. I substituted flax seeds for hemp (what I had). The mixture was a bit loose because of the water, but still formed nicely into patties. Baking for 15 min at 400F. Looking forward to them!

Hi Roxanne! So for the meatballs photos with feta, I just used regular olive oil. But for the one photo with the red looking oil, that was olive oil mixed with fried green onions and Aleppo pepper. I have that recipe in full on my Instagram account - if you head over there, you'll see it - https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQXM2IlH4L/.
Roxanne
July 21, 2022
Hi! The topping on your whipped feta looked delicious. It appeared to be more than olive oil. Or maybe an infused olive oil? Do you mind sharing that recipe? I can’t wait to make this recipe. Appreciate the tip on room temp feta.
ANYA
July 19, 2022
Make these now! Once you buy your ingredients, this is the easiest recipe to execute...it's so hands off! I started the beef in the instant pot an hour before we wanted to eat and prepped the toppings while all of that was cooking. I used stewing beef and a home-made taco seasoning. I didn't have any beef broth so I used half of a bouillon cube - worked just fine! The enchilada sauce was store bought (Frontera brand) and it was delicious. Highly recommend the Monteray jack cheese - I used some Violife mozzarella that I happened to have at home but I can see how the sharp taste would add to the overall flavour.

Hi Carolyn! I'm so glad you are loving my recipes, thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. I don't provide nutritional information as it doesn't align with my brand or how I personally choose to live my life, having had a disordered relationship to food in the past. I hope you understand :)

I love your recipes and have tried them! What would be GREAT is if you could include the nutritional value with calories. It would be beneficial to those of us trying to lose weight. Thank you, Carolyn

Thanks for this! I came across this recipe very late in life, at a family meal. I liked it better than my mother's potato salad of my childhood, and better than my sister's which came from her in-laws. DH likes it very much. Win, win, win! Tip: if you don't want to steam up your summer kitchen nor fight the mosquitoes for the grill, pressure cook the potatoes!

Don’t sleep on this wing recipe. It is soooo good! I can see this being a staple for game days, casual dinners or honestly…any day. Such a crowd pleaser as well. Oh and please don’t skip the dip. It’s unreal stuff! I was grabbing random things in my kitchen to eat it with once the wings were done.

The simplest recipe to make a delicious desert! I left out the cacao and just made vanilla coconut flavor and it was heavenly. I plan to add different flavors in the future; cacao with Orange or raspberry essence, vanilla salted, caramel flour de sel- the options are endless. Glad to find a keto friendly treat that can be made easily at home.

These were good! I've been curious to try making a miso dessert for a little while now, but wanted it to be grain free. I've found that almond flour based chocolate chip cookies always have some kind of nut butter, and since I just use peanut butter, it's like a PB cookie. The miso did a great job replacing nut butter and achieved a great, chewy consistency! It's definitely strong, although I'm sure white miso would have been more mild. I used dashi miso, which in hindsight sounds pretty gross.. the cookies were not at all fishy tasting, but just bold and kind of salty/savory. I think next time I'll try a little less miso. I have a tendency to use less sugar than a recipe calls for, but I definitely needed it in this one to balance the miso flavor. I just used regular butter too, not ghee.

This is the first cinnamon roll recipe i've actually gotten to work! I let the dough rest in the fridge for 4-5 hours and then rolled and filled it, then let it rest in the fridge over night and it worked great for an early morning bake. I looked through the whole recipe and you never mention what temperature to bake at. It just says "place in your preheated oven to bake" I baked at 350. Also it would be really nice if the caramel sauce recipe was included here. All in all totally delicious, worth the effort, and I will be making this again.
