Wellness isn’t just an inside job—what we put on the outside of our bodies matters just as much. That’s why we created our first-ever Best of Natural Beauty Awards! We asked you to vote on the natural products you can’t live without—and the votes are in. Check out the winners:
Best Facial Moisturizer
Winner: Shea Moisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Hydration Face Lotion
Made with coconut oil, coconut milk, and other skin-loving ingredients like shea butter, aloe, and green tea extract, the 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Hydration Face Lotion from Shea Moisture promises to soften and restore skin. It’s a luxurious but light daily staple for a nourished, hydrated complexion. Plus, it doesn’t leave even the slightest of greasy residues.
Best Facial Serum
Winner: The Vitamin Shoppe® brand Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Serum
This simple serum moisturizes, rejuvenates, and restores skin. And, at just $5.94 a bottle, it does so for much cheaper than its competitors. Two pumps after cleansing and before applying creams works hydration magic.
Best Shampoo
Winner: Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Shampoo
This clarifying, sulfate-free shampoo gently removes product buildup while moisturizing hair, leaving it soft and shiny. Made with natural ingredients like Jamaican black castor oil and apple cider vinegar, it’s gentle enough for daily use. It’s also suitable for processed, color-treated, or heat-styled hair.
Best Conditioner
