You could probably eat up Schmear Natural’s Hibiscus and Pomegranate Antioxidant Face Mask if you were really hungry—a testament to how natural its ingredients are and just how damn good it smells— though you’d be missing out on the benefits it provides your skin. The colloidal oat base gently soothes and exfoliates while superfoods like pomegranate, hibiscus and acai berries help fight signs of aging, leaving you with a radiant and more balanced complexion.

The humble body wash typically plays second fiddle to volumizing shampoos and fancy keratin-infused conditioners in our bath time caddies, but this irresistibly scented entry by Mifa and Co. makes body wash the star of the shower. Composed of a delicious blend of aloe vera, cocoa butter and eucalyptus (plus lavender, peppermint and other essential oils), the all-natural revitalizing wash will transform your bathroom into a luxe, multiple-diffuser-equipped spa—and have you lathering up again and again.

A moisturizer, cuticle cream, lip balm—however you use this workhorse of a whipped balm, you can trust that it will hydrate the heck out of your skin. Formulated with argan oil, tomato oil, sea buckthorn, pomegranate extract and astaxanthin—a highly nourishing combo of ingredients that lends the product a gorgeous orange hue—the balm melts beautifully into the skin to help soothe, soften and renew. There’s no lingering scent or residue, just bright, glowing results for just about every skin type.
