5 Non-Toxic Makeup Must-Haves That Earned a Permanent Spot in My Bag 💄
If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know I’m passionate about clean beauty—and I’m especially picky about what goes on my face.
After testing countless non-toxic makeup products over the years, I’ve finally narrowed it down to 5 favorites that perform just as well as conventional makeup—without the hormone disruptors, synthetic fragrance, or toxic fillers. 🙌🏼 These are tried, true, and officially makeup bag essentials.
🚫 First, Let’s Talk Ingredients to Avoid:
Most drugstore and department store makeup is packed with hormone and endocrine disruptors like:
Parabens (linked to hormone imbalance)
Phthalates (can disrupt the reproductive system)
Synthetic fragrance (a vague label that hides dozens of chemicals)
PEGs + BHT (often contaminated with carcinogens)
✅ My Top 5 Clean Makeup Picks:
RMS Tinted Radiance Serum (Code: KARLY-20)– Glowy skin in a bottle. Lightweight, SPF 30, and filled with nourishing ingredients.
Honest Beauty 2-in-1 Mascara – Lengthens without clumps or flakes. It’s been a long-time favorite for a reason!
EXA Foundation – Buildable and breathable. As someone who does not like heavy foundation, I like this one!
RMS ReDimension Blush – Creamy, pigmented, and full of skin-loving ingredients.
Crunchi Eyeshadow – Pigmented and clean. No irritation, just beautiful color!
