When making a beauty purchase, sure, you want to make a choice that's good for you and the environment. But, sometimes, information overload can make your head spin. It feels like you need a PhD to discern ingredient lists, and scouring the internet for answers feels like a full-time job. That’s where SwearBy comes in. We polled the SwearBy community for the best clean, non-toxic, and Swear-worthy beauty products for an all-star lineup of beauty goodies made of good stuff, some of which classify as “green,” as well. What’s the difference between “clean” and “green," BTW? Tara Foley, founder of the clean beauty destination, Follain, says that both are free from the toxic ingredients that may be harmful to the user, but green products feature “ingredient formulas that are good for the planet" and "packaging that's good for the planet, too.”

Lizzy Trelstad, chemist crusader at Beaker, says “green beauty is as much about the use of naturally-sourced ingredients as it is about sourcing them responsibly. The supply chain matters to me as much as the product's performance on my skin.” To discern which products are toxin-free and ethically-sourced, Tara advises to “shop with highly-educated retailers who excel in these products and can guide you to the best options.” If you’re looking for a place to start, here’s a round up of our discerning community’s favorite non-toxic and clean Swears, some of which pass the green test, too!
