Clean Beauty: Our Spotlight on Grown Alchemist

The search for clean beauty products is not a trend; it’s a movement. While there’s no standard definition of what it means for a shampoo or a lotion to be “clean,” independent brands and organizations are doing the legwork to make sure the products you put onto your body’s largest organ are made with active ingredients that do no harm to your skin or the environment. That’s why we’re featuring Grown Alchemist and discussing what they’re doing to provide the best skin care and hair care to an increasingly holistic-minded world.

Who is Grown Alchemist?

An alchemist is a person who practices alchemy. But pause right there because we’re not referring to the impossible practice of turning iron into gold. The term alchemy has broadened to reflect the modern-day ability to make something extraordinary by using innovative processes. After all, it is where the term chemist comes from. We’re talking more proven, science-y stuff and less speculation. 

So, if you love products that combine the latest beauty technology with familiar ingredients from the earth, you will flip for Grown Alchemist. Their brand focuses on achieving your best health at every age, and they utilize highly-researched plants known to benefit skin and hair with dynamic actions that nourish, cleanse, moisturize, and balance.

Additionally, they’re partnered with Think Dirty, an independent company that strives to keep consumers informed about what’s going into their beauty products. Their affiliation ensures that you’re using the highest quality ingredients free of cancer-causing agents, immune system disruptors, and hormone disrupters like parabens and phthalates.

Lastly, all their packaging is recyclable, and low-waste refills are available to save you from buying bottle after bottle. Vegan and cruelty-free brands like Grown Alchemist are leading the way in the clean beauty movement, so let’s talk about some of our favorite products that you’re going to feel good about using on your body.

Every Day Luxury

Hopefully, we’ve all learned the importance of handwashing multiple times a day by now, but did you know that antibacterial soap is only recommended for use in healthcare settings? Experts encourage washing with regular liquid soap to prevent killing our skin’s healthy bacteria and to prevent antibiotic-resistant bacteria from forming.

A great liquid soap like the Grown Alchemist Hand Wash Sweet Orange, Cedarwood, Sage will also prevent your hands from getting dry and cracked, for which antibacterial soaps are notorious. Don’t worry, though, because when done right, liquid soap is just as effective at cleaning your hands and killing germs. And why not do so with an uplifting, woodsy-scented soap made with natural essential oils, hyaluronic acid, and moisturizing oils from sweet almonds and coconut? You’ll always remember to wash your hands.

For the softest skin, follow your several trips to the sink with a dab of the richly hydrating Grown Alchemist Hand Cream Vanilla Orange Peel. This concentrated cream has nongreasy oils from grapeseed and rosehips to nourish your skin with antioxidants. They protect against environmental damage that accelerates aging, and there’s an additional wealth of vegan bioactive ingredients that plump hands and improve their overall appearance. Plus, its handy travel size means you can keep using the good stuff on the go.

Shower Time Splendor

Reset your day with the calming and delicate florals in the Grown Alchemist Body Cleanser Chamomile Bergamot Rose. Like their hand soap, the body wash cleanses while supporting skin hydration with plants like rosemary, rosehips, and ultra-luxe rose petal oil, which takes 250 pounds of your mom’s favorite flowers to produce one ounce of oil. You won’t find any bubbly but harsh sulfates in this formula, but you can create a luscious lather with a natural loofah or add a few pumps to your bath for an indulgent experience.

The next step is to get clean from the top down by adding a Grown Alchemist Shampoo and Conditioner to your shower collection. Their salon-quality Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Anti-Frizz Conditioner aren’t just for squeaky strands; they’re specially formulated to support optimal hair health, which includes a gently cleansed scalp, fortified strands, and ideal hydration and moisture.

They’re both powered by plant proteins and conditioning gingerols derived from ginger to strengthen weak spots. And Abyssinian oil, light and loaded with vitamins and fatty acids, is also in both products to soften hair and protect it from heat damage and oxidative stress. All hair types can use this cohesive set for a strong head of hair full of elasticity, shine, and frizz-resistant sleekness.

Post-Cleansing Replenishment

Have you ever used body oil? Consider this your sign to try the Grown Alchemist Body Treatment Oil to see what the hype is about. This anti-aging oil has a base of sweet almond oil, which moisturizes, softens rough skin, and improves its moisture-locking barrier. There are also vitamin C-packed citrus and rosehip oils that boost collagen production, protect from UV damage, and brighten skin. It’s like getting the anti-aging cheat code for your whole body. Apply it liberally to clean, damp skin (or use it as a massage oil!) and get swept away by the worldly, comforting scents of ylang-ylang and sandalwood.

For a supple, smooth facial complexion, moisturize and prime your skin with the Grown Alchemist Hydra-Repair Day Cream. There’s a ton to summarize about the many calming and protective ingredients in this non-comedogenic face and neck cream. To keep it short and sweet, it has all the bioactive botanicals that you’ve just been reading about, like those that are rich in skin-supporting fatty acids (jojoba oil and aloe vera), powerfully protective antioxidants, and anti-aging phytonutrients that even tone and firm skin. It’s balanced enough for all skin types to get lasting hydration without feeling weighed down and powerful enough to see glowing results.
