My 5 Favorite Non-toxic Natural Skin Care Products

When I started struggling with symptoms of hormonal imbalance seven years ago, I was shocked to discover that many of the everyday skincare products I’d been using for years were likely part of the problem. That realization sent me down a path of deep research and discovery. I started paying close attention to the ingredients I was putting on my body and became relentless about reading labels.

I was shocked when I found that not only could I not pronounce 90% of the ingredients in most mainstream products, but many of them contained toxins and hormone disruptors. That’s when I became desperate to find the best non-toxic and natural skin care products on the market.

After years of trial and error, I’ve learned that finding clean beauty brands that actually work is no easy task. So when I found the brand that now makes up the entirety of my skincare routine, I was so thrilled and relieved. These products from the brand Toups & Co are now staples in my natural skin care routine, and I can honestly say they’ve transformed my skin—and my overall wellness.

1. Lavender Tallow Soap Bar

Full disclosure: this was a very recent switch in my skincare lineup. Up until a few months ago, I was using the Plumping Bar from Primally Pure (which I still love). But when prices went up significantly, I decided to try something new—and I’m so glad I did.

This luxurious Lavender Tallow Soap Bar combines grass-fed tallow with the soothing, calming scent of lavender.. The Lavender essential oil soothes and contains antimicrobial properties which cleanse deeply. While the 100% grass-fed tallow boosts collagen production and hydrates, leaving your skin soft and nourished. 

2. Seabuckthorn Cleansing Oil

Honestly, when I first heard about oil cleansing, I was super skeptical. “Cleanse with oil?”  It seemed so counterintuitive. But once I gave this cleansing oil a try, I was hooked for life. Oil cleansing has completely transformed my routine. It gently removes dirt, makeup, and impurities without drying out my skin—especially important since we live in an exceptionally dry climate. I love pairing this with the Lavender Tallow Bar for a nourishing double cleanse. My skin has never felt more balanced.

3. Glow Serum

This serum is a bit on the pricey side but it lasts forever and it is a game-changer. It’s packed with nutrient-dense oils, including helichrysum, which is known for its powerful healing and anti-aging properties. The Glow Serum strengthens the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and protects against environmental stressors.

With just a few drops a day, my skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and stays hydrated all day long. Plus, the earthy, botanical scent is so grounding—it turns my skincare routine into a mini self-care ritual.

4. Frankincense Face Balm

I have been using this face balm for the past year and absolutely love it. I do confess I started making my own tallow products this past year. So I’ll alternate this face balm with my own tallow balm. But I love how luxurious the whipped texture of this balm feels. It’s deeply moisturizing without being greasy, and it helps reduce redness, even out skin tone, and promote skin regeneration.

Tallow is one of the most bioavailable moisturizers you can put on your skin—it mimics our skin’s natural structure, making it incredibly effective. If your skin is dry, sensitive, or showing signs of aging, this balm is a must-have in your natural skin care toolkit.

5. Flawless Face Primer

If you’re looking for a clean beauty primer that actually performs—this is it. The Flawless Face Primer is aloe vera-based, rich in antioxidants, and suitable for all skin types. It preps the skin with a smooth, silky base that makes makeup application flawless.

What I love most is how it hydrates without being oily, shrinks the appearance of pores, and keeps my skin looking fresh all day. It’s humidity-proof and packed with organic botanicals—making it a total win for both performance and purity.

Why Making The Switch To Clean Natural Skin Care Matters

If you’re still on the fence about making the switch, I can’t emphasize this enough—transitioning from conventional products to natural, non-toxic skin care has been one of the most important changes I’ve made for my health. Our skin is our largest organ, and it absorbs a significant percentage of what we put on it. When you’re using conventional beauty products that are loaded with synthetic chemicals, preservatives, artificial fragrances, and endocrine disruptors, those ingredients aren’t just staying on the surface—they’re making their way into your body.

Over time, this can contribute to everything from hormonal imbalances to skin sensitivity, inflammation, allergies, and even more serious long-term health effects.

Some of the biggest benefits I’ve personally experienced from using natural skin care products include:

• Improved hormonal balance: I noticed a huge difference in my symptoms after reducing my exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals.

• Healthier, more resilient skin: My skin feels stronger, heals faster, and reacts less to environmental stressors.

• Fewer breakouts and irritation: Once I removed synthetic fillers and fragrances from my routine, my skin became much calmer.

• Peace of mind: There’s something empowering about knowing exactly what you’re putting on your body and why it’s there.

Natural skin care is about more than just beauty—it’s about supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
