A BETTER DEO
Nubian Heritage Aluminum-Free 24-Hour Deodorant in African Black Soap
With too few options in the natural-deodorant game, this gem of a twist-up blew us away. This stick keeps us fresh and dry ’til bedtime.
ORGANIC BALM
All Good Lips Organic Original
Organic and never tested on animals, this balm keeps lips naturally soft thanks to the addition of beeswax, vitamin E and essential oils, and each tube is made of 50% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable.

DREAM CREAM
Ola Tropical Apothecary Coconut Body Butter
Take a trip to the tropics with this opulent cream that feels like a luxurious treat and contains just the right amount of fragrance. Our food editor went nuts for this body butter, and it looks and smells good enough to eat.
ALMOND GOLD
Home Health Almond Glow
Made with nourishing almond, olive and peanut oils and vitamin E, we’d dive into a pool of this if we could. Your skin drinks up every emollient drop of this sweet, intoxicating oil, letting you get on with your busy day faster.
$10 per 8 oz, vitaminshoppe.com
PORE PERFECT
Everclēn Toner
Add a spritz of toner to your beauty routine to balance, freshen and tighten pores. We love it because it’s fragrance-, paraben- and phthalate-free, and extra-gentle on the most sensitive skin.
$15 per 4 oz, everclen.com
PITFECTION
Primal Pit Paste Coconut Lime
A longtime favorite among our staff, these pit paste tubs keep us sweat- and smell-free even through intense workouts. We know better now to order in bulk, and PPP has earned a cult following with our friends and family, too.
