Over the past few months, one of the biggest things on my mind has been my journey to get pregnant with my husband, Will. This experience has inspired me to take a closer look at the products I use every day—beauty, skincare, and haircare—and make the switch to cleaner options wherever I can.
I didn’t replace everything overnight, and I’m still gradually swapping products. Thankfully, tools like EWG make it easy to check which items meet clean beauty standards. Here are the 17 products I’m loving so far and why they’re worth adding to your routine!
Skincare
1. Nécessaire Body Wash
Nécessaire is one of my favorite clean beauty brands. Their body wash is vegan, cruelty-free, and free of sulfates, parabens, and other nasties. I love all the scents—Eucalyptus, Sandalwood, Bergamot—and they leave my skin feeling fresh and clean.
2. Nécessaire Body Lotion
The perfect everyday body lotion. Fragrance-free, lightweight but not watery, and packed with clean ingredients. I use this daily for soft, nourished skin.
3. Nécessaire Exfoliator (Sandalwood)
A gentle yet effective weekly scrub with activated bamboo charcoal. My skin feels smooth, refreshed, and cared for without any harsh chemicals.
4. Dr. Barbara Sturm The Good C Vitamin C Serum
A high-performance, clean vitamin C serum that’s worth the splurge. Helps brighten, protect, and nourish your skin.
5. Dr. Barbara Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops
A daily defense serum that protects against pollution, blue light, and free radicals. With vitamins A, C, E, and omega-3s, this is my go-to for healthy, resilient skin.

My favorite clean self-tanner for a natural, sunless glow. Use daily or as needed for a subtle tan without harmful chemicals.
