Buying natural, good-for-the-planet products is commendable, but let’s be real, not everything labeled “all-natural” smells or feels all that great. These products are different, made with ingredients like avocado, rosemary and bamboo that are easy on the environment and feel wonderful on your body.

When it comes to cleansing, all-natural trumps dehydrating alcohol-based products. PLANT’s Rice & Clean’s gentle cleanser only uses three simple ingredients: rice, chamomile and vitamin E, all known to soothe the skin. Their products are made in Brooklyn with the help of adults with physical and mental disabilities.
