Clean Beauty Brands Worth Shopping This Summer
Beauty brands are a dime a dozen these days, but not all of them are actually worth your dime.
This is especially true if you're only shopping for clean products and ones that actually do what they say they will. With that said, it isn't impossible to find brands that care about what they're crafting for their customers—it just takes a little extra searching. Thankfully, you've come to the right place with us, as we've done the searching for you.
If you care about the quality of what you're putting on your face (as you should) and want to branch out by finding some additional brands that are worth shopping this summer, look no further. We've put together a list of a few of our favorites so you can search at your leisure for all the makeup and skincare your clean beauty-loving heart desires.
Tru Alchemy
Beauty is more than skin deep, and that's something that clean beauty brand Tru Alchemy knows well. Along with combining powerhouse ingredients that actually deliver visible benefits for your skin, it also creates conscious formulas that are responsibly sourced, never tested on animals and free of any of the bad stuff (think sulfates, silicones, parabens and any of the other not-so-skin-friendly junk that you'd find in some other skincare products). We're obsessed with everything they make, but we'd recommend starting off with their Glow Serum ($32) and the Celestial Cleanser ($23) to start.

Live Tinted
Live Tinted isn't just a clean beauty brand—it's an award-winning one. Known for creating makeup that truly works for all hues, this brand delivers across the board when it comes to multi-tasking products. From a three-in-one moisturizing primer with SPF ($32) to liquid highlighter drops ($34) you can use anywhere you want an extra glow, you'll find everything you need to fill your makeup bag this summer with this clean company.

Caliray
From long-wearing mascara ($24) to lightweight foundation ($40), Caliray is your new clean beauty bestie for this summer and beyond. Their bright packaging alone is enough to make us want just about everything they make, but the real thing that makes them worthy of a spot on this list of the best clean beauty brands for summer is how clean and all-around wonderful their diverse range of products are. Trust us when we say that Caliray will have you California dreaming far into the future with their green, clean beauty solutions.

Daybird
If there's one product we beg you to never leave the house without (especially during summer), it's a solid SPF. At the same time, we know that sunscreen might not be top of your mind during your day-to-day life, but trust us when we say it's not something you want to save only for those days when you're hitting the pool or beach. Thankfully, clean beauty brand Daybird is here to save the day with their everyday-wear-friendly tinted skincare ($39.50), which combines powerful ingredients like niacinamide and bisabol with a full dose of SPF 50. Plus, it's all in a formula that basically doubles as a tinted moisturizer or lightweight foundation, saving you several extra steps in your daily beauty and skincare routine.

Nakery Beauty
Summer beauty troubles have met their match with clean beauty brand Nakery Beauty, which whips up products we need before we even know we need them. For example, if shorts season is something you dread due to the uncomfortable chafing that comes along with it, this magic friction stick ($15) comes to the rescue. Seriously, this brand has everything from smoothing serums to plumping lip glosses in their wide selection of products, so you can rest assured you'll find something you're searching for this summer.
