Cate’s Favorite Beauty Products
By
After reading “How To Be Pretty and Poison-Free,” you might be wondering what I use for beauty and hygiene products. Although it takes time and money to transition to better products, it’s well worth it for better health. The best part is, you realize just how little you actually need. Even after writing this post, I’m already starting to narrow down my beauty cabinet to the essentials. Some of my favorites are listed below. I would love to hear from you on what safe brands and products you enjoy using. Please check out the CNK store for purchasing these items and more!

Items I’ve given up over the years include: perfume, shaving gel, make-up foundation, fake-tanning lotions, antibacterial hand sanitizers, countless hair products and facial concoctions.
I’m still searching for a safer: hair straightener, eyebrow pencil, hairspray, and lip gloss. As always, I would love any suggestions.

I didn’t realize Thorne research made body products! I’ve experimented a bit with Morrocco Method, but I haven’t been too thrilled. I love Coastal Classic Creations. Their face bar soaps are lovely and they last a long time. I love their facial oils too. I really dislike buying and trying all the “natural” products on the market since they usually just end up cluttering our bathroom over time. It’s good to stick to the basics!
I love love love Juice Beauty’s Tinted Mineral Moisturizer!
