Do you recommend all natural products?

We do not rely on marketing to convince us if a product is natural or green, we look at ingredients. Unfortunately, it's rare to find good skincare products that meet our criteria in the natural beauty space. Beauty products that are good for the skin will be good for the body. That is why ALL products we approve will automatically be pregnancy and nursing-safe.

Do you recommend vegan and cruelty-free products?

Yes, most ingredients that come from animals will always create acne. All the products in the Gritty Beauty Shop are cruelty-free.

Selected Roccoco, AnteAGE, TIZO, NeoGenesis, Saian, and Mirabella products are available in the Gritty Beauty Shop. If you would like access to more products, become a Gritty Beauty Member!
