The Best in Clean Beauty
Cult Favourites & Must Haves for 2022
2021 was not your typical year but certainly a year that saw us seek self-care rituals that not only supported healthy skin but also holistic wellbeing. From bath to at home facials, our clear beauty and wellbeing must-haves have led to us thinking differently about at home skincare and beauty. We are firm believers that good beauty practices don’t happen overnight and that the road to great skin is through good lifestyle choices and diligence.
We did a roundup of your most loved products for 2021 and with no surprise our Clean Beauty Hall of Fame is dominated by science backed skincare and most recently, devices that have once been exclusive to only the Doctor’s office or Day Spas. Our Science meets Nature ethos has also evolved during this time and our edit here at The Natives Co. has us more than ever before turning to the Brands that take an aligned approach to bringing to you the best science and plant efficacy nature has to offer.
Here are your most loved products of 2021 and those we are absolutely taking with us into 2022.

Innovation and ground-breaking formulations continue to emerge in the clean beauty space, offering alternatives to mainstream beauty that aligns to modern wellbeing and sustainable conscious living.

We thank you for voting with your wallet in 2021 and continuing to challenge the practices of brands that prioritise profit over our planet and cruelty free mantras. We are excited to help you discover the best clean beauty has to offer in 2022.
