When I started looking up companies and items for this clean beauty brands at Nordstrom post, I thought I’d find a few of my favorites, maybe a few new ones, and make one post.
As I started making the list of brands (not even specific products), the number of companies was soon too long. So I started organizing it by type of product – skincare, makeup, hair, body. I contemplated making separate posts for each category, but I think it’s easier for everyone to just have it all in one place!
Nordstrom, like many other companies, is beginning to carry more brands that fall into the “clean beauty” category as well as others that focus on sustainable sourcing and packaging.
Call it a marketing tactic or good business, but I don’t care. I hope better quality items make companies money. And I LOVE the idea that the trendy thing is a good, less-wasteful thing!
And a quick note. When/where you’re allowed back in stores, you can always walk in and ask for a sample of many of these products to test it out for a few days!
