Clean Beauty Brands at Sephora

If you’re a Sephora insider or you just love how the store carries everything beauty related in one place, you’ll love the ease and big selection of clean beauty brands at Sephora.

I’ve shared how to find clean beauty because, honestly, it isn’t as straightforward as it should be. And while we’re all transitioning to cleaner beauty, it’s nice to just keep shopping at your go-to stores! That’s why I have this series, highlighting clean beauty brands and top picks at all your favorite stops.

Since clean beauty is an important part of sustainable living (what we wash down the drain matters as much as what we put on our skin), be sure to check out these other clean beauty roundups:

Clean Beauty at Nordstrom
Clean Beauty at Target
Clean Beauty at Walmart
Clean Beauty at ULTA

The one thing I love about the clean beauty offerings at Sephora, however, is how easy they are to find. Other sites make you wade through it and figure out for yourself if it’s clean. Sephora has a green checkmark symbol on every product that qualifies for their clean standards.

So even if you just type in “blush” in the search box, you’ll get all your results and easily be able to see the clean beauty marker and click on the product!
