It’s pretty remarkable to reflect on how much the natural beauty market has transformed over the past few years—namely that less than a decade ago, the market was a fraction of what it is today. A boom of new brands with eco-friendly philosophies emerged onto the scene. Not only were these options just as (if not more) effective than other options on the market, but many of them were gorgeous—smartly packaged, chic, and downright covetable. Fast-forward to today, and I can walk into any Sephora, Target, or even CVS and have my pick of plant-based products. Because my own beauty regimen has evolved with this shift in the market, it’s something I feel passionate about, and could talk about endlessly.

This is all to say: Over the past few years, I’ve tried a lot of natural beauty products. A lot, a lot. Especially given what I do for a living.

And while I’ve liked many things I’ve tried—and loved several more—it’s easy to know what my true hero products are. They’re the ones that have stayed on my vanity over the years, even as countless others around them have been rotated in and out again. Only a select few have earned that permanent real estate, and it’s more remarkable still when several products from the same label have earned that coveted status.

 Grown Alchemist, an Australian brand with gorgeously packaged natural beauty formulas, is a fav, what I love is they are unisex, have a beautiful scent profile and they have both skincare and haircare lines.

Grown Alchemist is best known for their clean, science-backed formulations for skin, body, and hair in minimalist, chic packaging

Grown Alchemist’s ultra-clean formulas don’t just look (and smell) great. By marrying quality-sourced, highly potent plant-based ingredients and hard science, cofounders (and brothers) Keston and Jeremy Muijs have made it their mission to prove that natural products actually work better than synthetic-laden formulas—because more often than not, chemicals may actually negate what those formulas are trying to accomplis

While reading about the line, my eyes were opened to the aging effects and potentially health-harming effects of carcinogenic chemicals found in traditional skincare formulations.

Our bodies naturally fight anything they regard as foreign or toxic, and this reaction creates free radicals, which we know greatly contribute to the aging process.

In developing Grown Alchemist, the founders took this natural approach a step further by choosing plant-based ingredients that specifically worked with the human body. Because natural ingredients are compatible with human biology, they have the ability to regenerate beauty with superior results. And that’s the overarching philosophy behind the brand; the thread that sets it apart from the rest of the quickly crowding segment of the market: It’s not just a natural brand, but a results-oriented brand.

Today I am sharing some of my favorite Grown Alchemist products.

Enzyme Exfoliant 

Grown Alchemist Enzyme Exfoliant 

SHOP

This one seriously delivers. Fruit enzymes and amino acids promise to help resurface dead skin cells while fig extract and omega-3 fatty acids are meant to replenish moisture, leading to a visibly brighter, dewier complexion within minutes. To use, apply on clean skin and leave on for five to 10 minutes and follow up with a hydrating toner and moisturizer.

Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser 

Grown Alchemist Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser 

SHOP

This is one of the most lush cleansers I have experienced. The luxe, creamy texture and the botanical scent give you a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home. It’s formulated with a blend of antioxidant-rich olive leaf extract, yarrow extract, Vitamin B, and zinc—all ingredients that contribute to an otherworldly glow. It also doubles as a makeup remover.

Age-Repair Hand Cream 

Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Hand Cream 

SHOP

My hands down favorite. This hand cream is a game changer. This one is formulated with a unique blend of phyto-peptides that are meant to increase collagen production in your skin (translation, plump, hydrated, and youthful looking skin). There’s also sweet almond oil, which is rich in fatty acids that help keep your hands smooth and moisturized.

Age-Repair Sleep Masque 

Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque 

SHOP

This is stellar in the winter for dehydrated skin. Fortified with amino-rich oligopeptides, helix-aspersa protein (a snail extract), and aloe, it offers an unrivaled dose of hydration. I like to slather it on at night and I wake up to noticeably more nourished and moisturized skin. Try layering it on thick if your skin is inflamed from sunburn, cold weather, or a particularly intense facial.

Shaving Gel 

Grown Alchemist Shaving Gel

SHOP

This shaving gel was the first product I ever tried from Grown Alchemist and I love the delicious sandalwood and sage scent. It makes shaving my legs extremely luxurious, and the botanical ingredients promise to simultaneously lift the hair follicle and soothe any irritation for the smoothest finish possible.

I highly recommend any of the Grown Alchemist hand creams, the Enzyme Exfoliant , and the Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser to try as a first timer.

This is a line that is luxurious as it is effective and it makes me feel like I am at a spa every time I use the line. Never mind the fact the products just look so darn good on my vanity.
