We love a good beauty recommendation\u2014but clean beauty recommendations? Even better. Our team is sharing their tried-and-true clean beauty products that they actually use and love.<\/p>\n

With retailers like Target<\/a> and Sephora<\/a> now labeling clean options, it\u2019s easier than ever to shop consciously. And no, clean beauty doesn\u2019t have to break the bank\u2014many brands are committed to keeping prices low while keeping many of their ingredients pure.<\/p>\n

\n

Here\u2019s our team\u2019s recommendations for the best clean beauty products:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. The Kosas concealer is Sara\u2019s go-to for toxin-free, fresh eyes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kosas Brightening Concealer<\/a> \u2013\u00a0$32 shipped<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sara ditched Tarte\u2019s Shape Tape years ago in favor of this much cleaner Kosas concealer\u2014and she\u2019s never looked back. Not only does it offer medium, buildable coverage, but it also goes on smoothly for a clean, natural-looking finish. Even better, the skin-loving ingredients work overtime to fight dark circles, puffiness, dry skin, and more. Meanwhile, it continuously hydrates, plumps, and calms redness, making it a multitasking favorite in any clean beauty routine.<\/p>\n

    Kosas DreamBeam SPF 40<\/a> \u2013 $40\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    The Kosas DreamBeam SPF 40 is not only a clean mineral sunscreen, but it also doubles as a skin-smoothing base with a sheer tint that offers natural, barely-there coverage. Plus, it\u2019s packed with skin-loving ingredients like ceramides and peptides, which means it goes beyond sun protection. In fact, while it shields your skin from UV damage, it simultaneously nourishes the skin barrier\u2014all while leaving you with a fresh, radiant glow.<\/p>\n

      \u201cI don\u2019t wear foundation, skin tint, or anything else\u2014just this Kosas DreamBeam, and I\u2019m completely OBSESSED! Since it\u2019s lightly tinted, it provides just the right amount of coverage and glow without feeling like makeup. Admittedly, it\u2019s a little pricey; however, because I wear so few products on my face, I\u2019d much rather invest in one product that I truly love instead of layering on multiple steps like foundation, concealer, highlighter, and so on. Plus, it actually works\u2014no sunburns to date, even though we\u2019re outside swimming, at baseball, biking, basically 24\/7!<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Chelsey, Hip sidekick<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Our Hip sidekick, Cara, loves this Kosas medium coverage foundation.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25<\/a> \u2013\u00a0$42<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Cara ultimately landed on this foundation because she said it\u2019s the only olive foundation shade that works for her. Overall, their shade selection is amazing, no matter your tone, and it doubles as a skincare treatment. It contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptides, squalane, vitamin B5, arnica, caffeine, and reef\u2011safe zinc oxide (SPF 25). Even better, it\u2019s clinically proven to hydrate, brighten, plump, firm, soothe, and blur texture while looking like real skin.<\/p>\n

        DIME Mascara<\/a> \u2013\u00a0$22<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        DIME follows its own DIME Clean Promise, prioritizing ingredient transparency, sustainable U.S. manufacturing, and a wellness-first approach. I also love their lash-nourishing primer\u2014infused with amino acids and peptides, it strengthens lashes over time while perfectly separating them for smooth, clump-free mascara application.<\/p>\n
