In Search of a Natural Face Moisturizer? Here Are 8 We Love

Finding a skincare product these days is no joke. Not only are there are thousands upon thousands to comb through, but marketing is also a real thing and many of those so-called “good for you” products are chock-full of sulfates, synthetic fragrances, mineral oils and phthalates. To help you cut through the clutter, here are eight natural face moisturizers we love that won’t sacrifice your skin.
