As previously stated, squalene is a celebrated skin care ingredient with impressive hydrating abilities, but because of ethical reasons, it fell a bit out of fashion. With so much skin care innovation, now there are all kinds of great ethical squalene alternatives, such as Biossance's renewable, sugar-cane-derived version. Though there are a ton of great products to pick from this also Leaping Bunny–certified cruelty-free brand, a cult favorite is the squalene and Vitamin C Rose Oil. The lightweight, absorbent oil brightens, firms, and hydrates the skin without leaving an oily residue. Meanwhile, the Damascus rose petal extract leaves a lovely light scent while soothing the skin for an even, radiant complexion.

Effective, natural, and safe, Herbivore's products embody what it means to be a modern-day clean beauty brand that's as approachable as it is ethical. It's also Leaping Bunny certified and 100 percent vegan. There's nothing we don't love about this brand's identity. We're also partial to one of the brand's newest launches, the NOVA 15% Vitamin C + Turmeric Brightening Serum. It uses a highly stable form of vitamin C to target dark spots and improve hyperpigmentation. If you want a brighter, more even skin tone, this is the serum for you.

Youth to the People has been pushing the standard in the beauty industry forward since its launch in 2015. It depends on superfood ingredients sourced from local suppliers in California, where they formulate their products. These vegan and cruelty-free formulations are then housed in sustainable glass packaging that's equal parts chic and planet-friendly. As a staple in the brand's catalog is the Superfood Cleanser, which uses a blend of kale for its vitamin C and E benefits, spinach for moisture, and green tea for its anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids.

This K-beauty brand is new to the clean beauty scene, but there's lots of reasons we already love them. The no-fuss formulas are clean, vegan, cruelty-free, efficient, and free of harsh ingredients. As if that weren't enough, everything is under $30. You could fill out your entire skin care routine with just their products—no matter your skin type! If you just want to dip your toes in the SeSpring water, we recommend the So Rich Moisturizing Cream. It uses hyaluronic acid, lavender, and tea tree oil to leave skin feeling, soft, plump, and insanely hydrated.

For people who struggle with acne more than any other skin care concern, this vegan skin care brand is the one for you. Banish is an independent skin care company that develops small-batch acne-fighting formulas that are housed in recycled glass bottles. One of their bestsellers is the All Clear Mint Cleanser. Unlike lots of the other cleansers that target breakouts, this one won't leave skin feeling stripped and dry. However, it does still contain acne-healing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties thanks to plant-based ingredients like aloe, chamomile, peppermint, and spearmint.

Not only is it vegan, but it's cruelty-free, eco-conscious, and uses natural ingredients that are clinically tested to show results. One of our favorites is the After-Dark Natural Peptide Sleeping Cream. It uses Flaxseed Peptide to minimize fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful complexion and apple extract to provide hydration. Use it overnight and you'll wake up with skin looking healthier, younger, and just overall stunning.

Using plant-based ingredients grown in Costa Rica, Thrive developed vegan, cruelty-free products free of harmful ingredients like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. Even though there are so many great products to choose from, every good skin care routine needs a good sunscreen. The Daily Defense Sunscreen Balm uses SPF 30 to protect against UVA and UVB rays while also hydrating the skin and reducing irritation.
