Natural beauty products you need to add to your beauty bag

Bite Beauty
The Lip Pencil, $20, sephora.com
Cheat your natural lip line with a more plumped look or sculpt what Mother Nature gave you. Either way, you’ll love the smooth application and shade selection (22 colours!) of these all-natural pencils that were three years in the making.

RMS Beauty
Swift Shadow, $28, rmsbeauty.com
Mineral eyeshadows are usually limited in colours and notoriously hard to blend. These are pressed, not baked, which avoids heat exposure and preserves the integrity of the raw ingredients like jojoba oil so they’re easier to apply.

Tata Harper
Illuminating Moisturizer, $113, tataharper.com
Sometimes all-natural moisturizers don’t absorb quickly enough for even makeup application. But this one layers seamlessly, adding dewiness to dry skin.

Biolage
R.A.W. Shampoo and Conditioner, $25 each, matrixprofessional.ca
Rethink your suds routine with this eco line of shampoos and conditioners. The formulas are biodegradable, the bottles are recyclable (made from former plastic water bottles) and, while they’re sulphate free and gentle on hair, they don’t skimp on a rich, satisfying lather.

French Girl
Crème Fraîche Néroli/Camomille Moisturizer, $62, etsy.com
This moisturizer has a creamy, rich consistency but doesn’t slip and slide on skin — it absorbs right away.

Saje
Skin So Clean Exfoliating Cleanser, $23, saje.com
The rice grains help to gently buff away dirt and makeup while neroli helps to improve the appearance of pores and skin texture.

Farmacy
Eye Dew Total Eye Cream with Echinacea GreenEnvy, $49, farmacybeauty.com
Potent antioxidants help to shoo away the signs of aging with zero irritation.

Burt’s Bees
Gloss Lip Crayon, $10, burtsbees.ca
Formulated with 100 percent natural ingredients, these chubby pencils allow for easy application with a great glossy colour payoff that hydrates all day.

BioEffect
EGF Serum, $220, thebioeffect.ca
The star ingredient (whose developers were recognized with a Nobel Prize) is EGF, a plant-based epidermal growth factor that stimulates skin growth and repair at the cellular level. It’s been double-blind lab tested to show lasting results, which reduce the overall appearance of brown spots, fine lines, redness and wrinkles. We’re sold.

Province Apothecary
Healing Eczema Balm, $19, provinceapothecary.com
This concentrated balm for adults and babies alike harnesses the power of cell-renewing rose hip, hydrating hemp seeds, restorative zinc and itch-relieving turmeric to calm and heal skin irritations like eczema, swelling and dryness.
