Mid-Range Clean Beauty Gift Ideas $$
Below, you can find each product’s safety scores according to the Environmental Working Group and the Think Dirty app, as well as links & downloads to each product’s safety report from EWG. I also triple check them with the Switch Natural app, as even some cosmetics that are EWG Verified contain potentially harmful ingredients…

Why I Love It
A heavenly lip drink treat made with organic ingredients and plant ceramides to support the skin barrier. A perfect gift idea for someone who loves natural lip and skincare who might not splurge on themselves. I love how silky this feels when I apply it and how moisturized my lips feel in the morning!
Fitglow’s products are perfect for those with sensitive skin as they follow all of the stricter EU cosmetics regulations.
EWG Score
*I think this EWG score is misleading. The ingredients in question by EWG are Benzyl Alcohol, Lecithin, and Aloe Vera Gel (inside the leaf, not the skin). I am not concerned with these ingredients, especially since I am not putting the product on my eyes, lips, or inhaling a powder. Nevertheless, here is the EWG report. I used EWG’s Build Your Own Report feature.
Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide 14% (sunscreen, active ingredient) *Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe Vera Gel) Juice, Aqua (Deionized Water), Astaxanthin, Benzyl Alcohol, Betula Alba (Birch) Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Citric Acid, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Dehydroacetic Acid, Dodecane, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Lecithin, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Butter, Prunus Domestica (Plum) Fruit Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract, Rubus Chamaemorus (Cloudberry) Oil, Sodium Polyacrylate, Stearic Acid, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Tridecyl Salicylate, Propanediol.
Why I Love It
This primer is definitely multi-tasking. It color corrects, provides SPF 30, and preps your skin for makeup. I love using this on days when I don’t want to wear a lot of makeup, but I want to even out my skin tone – it’s perfect for those days!
