The unofficial start to summer is this weekend, and you’ll find many of us here in the US spending time with family, friends, and loved ones over this long weekend.

You’ll also see Memorial Day sales everywhere—from storefronts to websites, many brands use this moment for cutting prices before the new season. If there’s a product that’s long been on your wishlist, or in need of replacement, we’ve gathered the best deals from our favorite sustainable brands. Because finding more sustainable choices on a smaller budget can be difficult, and we’ve found seasonal sales to be one of the most helpful approaches. Well-crafted and fairly made goods are inherently more expensive than those available on the ultra-mass market, sometimes leaving folks who have less money to spend feeling excluded (which isn’t sustainable either).

Below you’ll find a regularly updated list of the sales you can find this weekend—if there’s a product or brand on your list, be sure to bookmark this page as new sales will go live daily through the weekend. (The most deals will be live between Friday May 26th and Monday May 29th.) We especially encourage you to use this list as a reference for goods you were already planning to buy. If you have a specific brand or item in mind, skip all the rest and hit Ctrl+F or ⌘+F on desktop to search the page for what you want. (If you’re on mobile here’s how to find on page on Apple and Android devices.)

Wherever this weekend takes you, we’re wishing you a restful one filled with the people and places you love the most.

The post The Best Memorial Day Sales From Sustainable Brands—Including Mattresses And More appeared first on The Good Trade.

Despite the good hair genes in my family (both my sisters have the coveted mermaid hair; people can never believe they aren’t wearing extensions), my hair has always been a pain point. Blame it on the box dyes I started using in middle school, or rather my obsession with looking like Rachel McAdams in The Notebook. Unfortunately, Revlon’s discounted drugstore dye did not turn my fine brown hair a natural shade of red—or any of the many other colors that followed (post-breakup dyes, anyone?). Instead, it fried and colored my strands strange shades of whatever result I was truly after. Then again, it was the early ‘00s, so I just kept dying it. 

In the past decade, I’ve worked to repair my hair after all that damage from my younger years. Breaking up with box dye was a start, but healing my scalp and seeing new growth has taken a lot more. I’ve tried it all, from scalp brushes and treatments to the fanciest shampoos and serums to eating “hair superfoods” and trying out supplements. To say I’ve been desperate to find a solution, preferably something natural and affordable, is quite an understatement, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to try Prose.

Prose was founded in France in 2017. The brand’s lab is in Paris, and the team’s HQ operates in Brooklyn. If you spend any time on social media, you’ve likely seen your favorite influencers boast about Prose, or you may at least recognize the branding, which is super fun and a bit flirty. The B Corp Certified and Climate Neutral Certified brand formulates custom regimens for each customer based on an in-depth haircare survey you take on the site. Here’s how it works: 

On the website, you answer a series of questions so Prose can “understand your unique hair needs and goals, lifestyle, and environment.” Questions range from age and hair type to how often you wash your hair to your daily diet and water intake. There are even questions about your location since air quality and humidity make a difference. The survey is about 30 questions and takes roughly 10 minutes. 

Once you’ve submitted your results, Prose then formulates a custom haircare regimen, including products, supplements, and a suggested routine. My profile showed that my hair could benefit from nourishment, fiber repair, and a scalp detox, among other recommendations. What I really loved about this part of the process was that I got to see exactly what ingredients were in the formulas since I’ve always found it challenging to understand haircare labels and what/why certain ingredients are in there. 

Prose’s formulas are safe, natural, and sustainable. The brand promises that every ingredient used is “meticulously researched by our world-class R&D team and sustainably sourced from trusted partners around the globe.” Formulas are cruelty-free and have zero parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oils, or GMOs. Prose can also make specific hair products vegan, and they have silicone-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free options. 

If you do prefer a fragrance, Prose lets you choose the scent for your products before checkout, which is a fun perk! I selected one that is no longer available but has a light floral scent. Again, you can choose unscented if you prefer fragrance-free or are sensitive to smells. This great personalized option makes the brand that much more special, which they are very good at. 

Now, for my experience trying Prose on my very damaged hair, which the survey results kindly pointed out. I was sent a shampoo, conditioner, and two hair masks (one for the scalp and one for the ends) to use over the course of a few weeks. Costs start at $32 for shampoo, with discounted subscriptions available. 

When my haircare arrived, I immediately felt seen and cared for upon opening the box. The products were carefully packaged; each bottle had a personalized label with ingredients and my name. There were also detailed instructions explaining when and how to use the masks.

Before using Prose, I alternated between a few different shampoos and conditioners from brands like Kristin Ess and other semi-affordable Target options. For this experiment, though, I decided to halt the usage of any product that wasn’t Prose so that I could get the maximum benefits from the customized formulas. 

I started with the pre-shampoo scalp mask and hair mask. The custom cards with the kit gave easy-to-follow instructions about when and how to use them. (“Begin with damp hair. Part into sections…”) I was most excited about the scalp mask, which exfoliates, detoxifies, and helps balance oil. My hair can get excessively oily after only one day, so I was eager to see if this would tone that down. The hair mask, which goes on the ends, is meant to revitalize and repair for overall health, which, again, my damaged hair very much needs. I put both on and let them sit for the specified 5-15 minutes. 

Next, I hopped in the shower, rinsed out the masks, and introduced my hair to the shampoo and conditioner. It’s super foamy, which I am grateful for as it makes me feel like I’m really getting my hair clean. After a rinse, towel dry, and a quick blow dry to see the results, my hair felt soft and silky. So far, so good. 

For the next few weeks, I continued to use the masks as instructed and only washed with Prose, usually every two to four days, depending on the week. While my hair seemed to soak up the nutrients at first, it eventually adjusted to the formulas, and my hair didn’t feel as clean in the hours after washing it. I’ve also continued to struggle with oily hair on day two, so that hasn’t really changed. 

I do notice less hair loss though, and my color has faded minimally (it usually fades a lot with other color-protecting shampoos). I also love that, with Prose, I can give feedback about the formulas and adjust them for my next order to address any concerns or changes. The process of restoring hair health is an evolving and sometimes lengthy journey, and while I think this regimen is helping, it may just take a bit longer than 30 days to restore decades’ worth of damage. 

Overall, I loved my experience with Prose, from the questionnaire and certified clean ingredients lists to the personable packaging and custom natural formulas. It’s an excellent brand for anyone needing more than a standard Target shampoo for hair health, and while a bit pricier than drugstore brands, you get what you pay for. After too many years with box dye and cheap hair products, you can bet I’ll be a repeat Prose customer.

The post I Tried Prose To Heal My Damaged Hair—Here Are The Results (2023 Review) appeared first on The Good Trade.

At the age of 32, True Botanicals founder Hillary Peterson was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. This inspired her to look seriously at the skincare products she was using and her overall health. 

Ironically, I’ll be turning 32 myself this summer and I’ve been dealing with a lump near my own thyroid. Thankfully, my mass turned out to be benign, but the parallels felt eerily similar, and I could deeply empathize with how Hillary must have felt. Don’t we all deserve products that are free of toxins and protect our health, not endanger it?

The timing felt fortuitous to get to review True Botanicals products while I was reconsidering my own health. I appreciate how thoughtful the brand has always been, from its sustainable packaging to third-party certifications (MADE SAFE certified! EWG certified! FSC certified!) to its focus on regeneratively farmed ingredients.

My hot take? Well, you definitely get what you pay for—and this skincare works.

Now, I should disclose again that I’ve spent the last year working with a dermatologist, so certain medications have drastically improved my skin (bless you, Spironolactone). But I can fairly say that True Botanicals products have enhanced my skin too and felt luxurious to use along the way.

True Botanicals has three signature collections: renew, clear, and calm. renew focuses on anti-aging, clear is for blemish-prone skin, and calm is for ultra-sensitive skin. If you’re not sure where to start or are overwhelmed by the different options, you can schedule a free consultation via Zoom. I personally opted to try most of the best sellers and award winners (awarded by Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, Byrdie, and more), so here was my all-star lineup:

• renew | Pure Radiance Oil ($110)
• renew | Chebula Active Serum ($90)
• renew | Chebula Extreme Cream ($110)
• SuperSEA Firming & Lifting Treatment ($188)
• Vitamin C Booster ($90)
• Deep Repair Eye Serum ($90)
• Moisture Lock Glossy Glossy Balm ($24)
• Body Love | Boob Cream ($48)

OK, let’s dive in.

Moisture Lock Glossy Lip Balm, $24 

I am ashamed to admit this publicly online, but I will do so here just for you, dear reader: My AIM screen name in middle school was “lipglosslovex” and so I feel it’s fair to say that I have long been into the best lip products. (My ride-or-die to date is ILIA’s Lip Tint, but I digress.) 

I opted for clear (the other choice is red), and I was genuinely impressed with how easy it was to warm up and dab on without feeling sticky or too watery. It’s designed to “help fight signs of aging while drenching your lips in nourishing moisture,” and while I can’t say I see a difference in the “age of my lips,” they felt hydrated. 

The formula includes hyaluronic acid and pomegranate sterol instead of animal-derived lanolin, which I appreciate as a vegetarian. The seed oil makes my lips feel plump in the best way. It also has the loveliest rose scent, so it feels like a treat to put on. Now, $24 is a bit higher than what I’d typically spend for such a small amount, but if you opt to subscribe, the price drops 15% (making it closer to $20), which seems worthwhile since shipping is always free.

Body Love | Boob Cream, $48 

The True Botanicals team really wasn’t kidding when they said it was ultra-rich. It smells heavenly—like your favorite florals and candles—without being overpowering. And because it’s designed for such a delicate area—the neck, décolleté, and breasts—I like how a little goes a long way without feeling greasy. My skin felt nourished, and while I haven’t seen any long-term effects quite yet that address any “crepiness,” stay tuned. I’ll share an update if that changes! 

Deep Repair Eye Serum, $90

I have genetically dark circles under my eyes (thanks, Mom, I still love you though) so I’ve been dealing with some volume loss, fine lines, and shadows. But—and this is a big but—I also know it’s unreasonable to expect an eye serum to fix volume loss, so my expectations here were pretty tempered.

At just 0.42 fluid ounces, this bottle is teeny tiny. I was surprised at how small it was for such an expensive product. The formula is very concentrated, using blackberry seed and carrot seed oils, and has a neutral, natural scent. And the reviews are right once again: A little goes a long way. I only needed a tiny drop or two every time, and it blended seamlessly into my under-eye area, quickly reducing puffiness and looking brighter. Ultimately, I suppose I’d prefer a super-concentrated formula like this one that actually works and is slightly more expensive rather than a cheap alternative filled with water or synthetic fillers.

Vitamin C Booster, $90 

Per the True Botanicals site, “Since Vitamin C is unstable and degrades once exposed to liquid, this booster is in powder form to remain stable and potent until the moment you use it.” Consider me impressed.

While not inexpensive, I do feel good about the amount of use I’m getting out of the powder formula since I can mix it with any other oil or serum I’m using. In my case, I added just 1-2 shakes to the Pure Radiance Oil and it magically absorbed into my skin. 

Unlike other Vitamin C oils I’ve tried, this one didn’t irritate my skin or drip right off. I’ll continue using this for months to come, but the jury’s out on if I’ll repurchase at such a high price point if I don’t see an improvement in my hyperpigmentation.

The SuperSEA Firming & Lifting Treatment, $188 

The treatment (made with seaweed and sea minerals) is “clinically proven to give you a lift” by visibly firming, tightening, and lifting your cheekbones and jawline. Now since I’m only in my early 30s, I’m probably a bit outside of the target demographic, so I didn’t see as drastic results compared to the clinical test where 92% said their skin looks and feels tighter and better defined. But I did notice how my skin seemed to immediately “drink” in the formula; by the time I had dabbed it into my neck, the parts I had rubbed into my face had already disappeared. 

Afterward, my skin felt a little sticky but overall supple and smooth. If you’re dealing with a loss of elasticity, have any roughness, or want to reduce wrinkles, I could see this working well. And if you’re hesitant about the price, there’s a 30-day guarantee with free shipping and simple returns. Hopefully, this will become available in a sample/trial size in the future so you can experience the treatment before committing.

The renew collection: Pure Radiance Oil, $110 | Chebula Active Serum, $90 | Chebula Extreme Cream, $110

It was pretty clear to me why Pure Radiance Oil is one of the brand’s best-sellers. This oil is crafted with a number of seed oils, including chia, kiwi, passionfruit, and papaya. (Call me weird, but that kind of makes me hungry to think about.) Mixed in with the aforementioned Vitamin C Booster, a few drops absorb right into my skin. I’ve been using it every morning and I really like that it’s not greasy, smells lovely, and keeps my face hydrated. And can we just talk about that gorgeous amber color? 

You can use this as a PM treatment, too, and I wonder if you’d get double the results if you used it twice a day—if you try this method, let me know! For now, this will stay a staple in my morning routine and one I could see myself buying again.

The Chebula Extreme Cream was named an Elle Green Beauty Star in 2022, and so I was curious if I’d see the same results “100% of women experienced” in the True Botanicals clinical trial. The brand says it works because “it’s one of the ONLY moisturizers in the world made without any pore-clogging waxes,” and I can say that it hasn’t irritated my skin at all to date. The moisturizer is light pink (a treat!), smells vaguely like a mix of clay and rose, and has a thick but spreadable consistency that’s easy to apply. It definitely gives me dewy, glowy vibes and I’m starting to see an improvement in dullness too.

Lastly, the #1 best seller at True Botanicals: The Chebula Active Serum. This formula is lighter than the Pure Radiance Oil, both in color and weight, and they can work in tandem with the serum first, followed by the oil on top. Based on a six-week trial with women aged 35-65, 100% experienced softer and smoother skin in just a week. Again, I’m a bit younger than this age range, but I’ve really enjoyed this product so far. It’s got an herby scent, which I assume comes from the chebula itself, plus the elderberry, ginger, and echinacea, and it’s a bit milkier than most serums I’ve come across. 

When I want to keep things simple, I put on the Chebula Active Serum first, mix in a bit of the Vitamin C Booster into the Radiance Oil, then apply that second. I walk around feeling a bit like a glazed donut, but hey, my skin looks pretty amazing.

Overall, I’m impressed with the quality of True Botanicals and their formulas. Everything is so highly concentrated and effective that it’s hard to be mad about the price point—these are definitely worth the investment if you can swing ‘em.

Key Takeaways

• True Botanicals offers biocompatible skincare aimed to help with anti-aging, blemishes, and ultra-sensitive skin. Ingredients are sustainably or regeneratively sourced and are all clean, cruelty-free, and MADE SAFE certified.
• The price point is on the higher side, but we’ve found that the formulas are packed with high-quality ingredients that last for months at a time.
• While you could theoretically skip on some of the supplemental offerings like the lip balm and boob cream, the signature collections are absolutely worthwhile to invest in, depending on your skincare needs.

The post I Reviewed True Botanicals Best-Selling Products—Here’s My Honest Take appeared first on The Good Trade.

By now, you probably know all about the benefits of using sulfate-free shampoo to help preserve your hair’s shine and color and to reduce irritation. Sulfates can also be potential endocrine disruptors, meaning they can dysregulate your body’s natural hormone production, causing you to produce too much or too little of certain hormones. 

But good shampoo doesn’t need sulfates to do its job—we’ve rounded up some of our favorite shampoos that clean hair with other surfactants or cleansing agents. These science-backed brands use clinically-proven formulas to boost hair health and target specific hair goals, like repairing damage, managing frizz, or adding volume. And our very favorite formulas keep sustainability top of mind—some are even Certified B Corps. Read on for our favorite sulfate-free shampoos.

1. Prose

Best For | Custom formulas
Natural & Organic | Organic & natural ingredients, free from parabens, sulfates, & GMOs
Price | $32

Prose believes that all hair is different, so all shampoo should be, too. They make custom clean sulfate-free formulas based on your hair type, specific concerns, and where you live, adding in more of what your hair actually needs—like oat oil for color protection, honey for volume, arginine for heat protection, or apple cider vinegar for shine—without the junk. Prose is a B Corp and Climate Neutral, and they’re constantly updating their formulas with the newest research from their Paris lab.

2. Jupiter

Best For | Dandruff
Natural & Organic | Naturally derived and plant-based ingredients
Price | $25

Jupiter’s Balancing Shampoo calms scalp irritation and rejuvenates locks with a color-protecting, sulfate-free formula that controls oil production. It’s made with 1% zinc pyrithione, an active anti-fungal commonly used to treat skin conditions that cause flaking (like dandruff), while keeping hair moisturized with ingredients like squalane and coconut oil. Best combined with Jupiter’s Nourishing Conditioner, the shampoo leaves a natural mint, vanilla, sage, and lavender scent, to make fighting dandruff one of the most luxurious parts of your day.

3. Vegamour

Best For | Sustainable ingredient sourcing
Natural & Organic | Nontoxic, 100% vegan ingredients from fair trade partnerships
Price | $38-58

Vegamour develops its hair products with four core pillars in mind: vegan ingredients, a holistic approach to hair wellness, clinically-proven formulas, and bioavailability, or the body’s ability to absorb ingredients. Their shampoo line includes products formulated for different hair types or hair concerns like volumizing or strengthening. They’re all color-safe and free of sulfates, phthalates, silicones, and artificial fragrance—they scent their products with natural ingredients like citrus and ylang ylang. The brand is committed to sustainability, too, creating its own supply chains and fair trade partnerships. 

4. JVN Hair

Best For | Patented hemisqualane
Natural & Organic | Free from silicone & sulfates
Price | $21

Founded by Queer Eye star and hairstylist Jonathan Van Ness, JVN Hair makes products created with 100% clean ingredients, keeping sustainability and inclusivity top of mind. They make three shampoos—hydrating (for all hair types), volumizing (for finer hair types), and strengthening (for damaged hair types). All three formulations are color-safe, vegan, and free from sulfates and silicones, and they all use JVN’s patented hemisqualane, a molecule made from sustainably sourced sugarcane that penetrates the hair shaft for deep nourishment.

5. Sienna Naturals

Best For | Curly, coily, and textured hair
Natural & Organic | Nontoxic, free from sulfates, silicone, & parabens
Price | $24

The breakthrough line by actress Issa Rae and entrepreneur Hannah Diop makes hair care products formulated for textured hair and rooted in technology. Sienna Naturals products are all vegan, cruelty-free, responsibly sourced, and dermatologist approved. Their H.A.P.I. Shampoo is a moisture-rich cleanser that’s effective enough to remove build-up from styling products but gentle enough to restore natural curl patterns. It’s making waves in the beauty world, winning 2022 beauty awards from Elite Daily and Byrdie. It soothes irritation, detangles, and leaves a subtle spa-like lavender and geranium scent.

6. Authentic Beauty Concept

Best For | Ingredient-driven products
Natural & Organic | Sulfate- and silicone-free, 95% naturally-derived ingredients
Price | $31

Authentic Beauty Concept has five straightforward shampoos: one for colored hair, one for dry hair, one for fine hair, one for damaged hair, and a deep-cleaning shampoo for all hair types. Each one is formulated with different botanicals—date extract helps color-treated hair appear more shiny and soft, mango’s vitamins C and E give dry hair more bounce, and green tea and lime add body to fine, thin hair. All of Authentic Beauty’s products are vegan, cruelty-free, and sulfate-free.

7. Ursa Major

Best For | Sustainable packaging
Natural & Organic | Free from parabens, sulfates, & silicones
Price | $26

Ursa Major’s Go Easy Shampoo is sulfate-free and lightly conditioning to clean hair without stripping it. The shampoo has coconut-derived surfactants to give a creamy lather, macadamia for its nourishing fatty acids, and licorice to help combat scalp flakes, and the natural scent is a woodsy blend of ginger and balsam. The B Corp certified brand launched by a Vermont couple makes gender neutral, sustainably sourced, and responsibly packaged skin and body products. The brand is even plastic negative—in partnership with rePurpose Global, for every plastic bottle they sell, they remove two from the environment.

Now that skincare has outpaced cosmetics as a beauty routine essential, we’re learning about the best possible natural ingredients that support nourished, healthy skin. Sunscreen is the cornerstone of protecting our skin from excessive sun damage. But not all sunscreen is guaranteed to be safe for our bodies or for our environment (read more about the benefits of mineral sunscreen here).

Fortunately, there are dozens of brands making all natural and eco-friendly products that protect our health—the only issue now is choosing the one that fits our needs and budget!

To help narrow it down, we’ve rounded up all natural face sunscreens that range in price, texture, function, and SPF. These products melt into our skin with ease and keep us sunburn-free during beach days, morning walks, and car trips.

Don’t forget to top off your sun care routine with a natural body sunscreen and our favorite sustainably made sunglasses!

Many of us take great pride in caring for our hair—and sometimes we care just a little too much. Over-washing strips our hair of its natural oils, and in turn causes extra oiliness and irritation. But thank goodness for dry shampoo. With it, we can opt to wash less and spray more for hair that feels just as clean, but without the hassle.

Rather than using aerosol bottles or dangerous chemicals, you can find natural dry shampoos that have organic ingredients, are cruelty-free, and abide by eco-friendly standards. We’ve found seven brands that are giving our hair new life. Simply sprinkle a little on your roots and take on the day.
