Target Clean beauty guide: 7 top-rated products of 2021
Discover Target Clean bestsellers, ranging from Jessica Alba’s Honest Beauty and CeraVe to clean pet food from well-known brands like Purina and Rachel Ray.
Jessica Alba's Honest Beauty line makes clean cosmetics and skin care products, while her Honest Company brand produces baby and cleaning products, all available at Target. Her top-rated eye shadow palette contains a mix of ten matte and shimmer shades that are easy to apply with fingers and blend with your makeup brushes. This palette is also versatile — you can create soft, Zoom-ready makeup or achieve a dramatic smokey eye. The shadows range from Strobed Champagne, a copper; Gilded Mauve, a deep brown; Sunlit Copper, a red-brown with flecks of gold and Magnetic Ink, a rich black.
This deodorant genuinely smells like vanilla and coconut and glides on and dries clear — no pesky white marks transferring to your clothes here. It's made with natural ingredients, like coconut oil, shea butter and tapioca starch, which absorbs sweat. It's available in various scents, including Eucalyptus & Mint, Lavender & Rose Deodorant and Sea Salt & Cedar.
Before reaching for your blow dryer, flat iron or curling iron, be sure to employ this highly-rated heat protectant for easier styling and to prevent damage. Argan oil is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids and vitamins A and E, which help nourish your strands, while sunflower seed oil softens, adds shine and tames frizz. It's also gentle enough for those with color- and chemical-treated hair, like Brazilian Blowouts and keratin treatments, can mist this spray onto their strands.
This highly-rated green face serum — the pigmentation derives from chlorophyll — is designed for first-time retinol users and those with sensitive skin. It contains bakuchiol, a plant-based natural alternative to retinol that can improve the signs of aging, skin texture and fades dark spots. Unlike traditional retinol, this creamy serum is plant-based, and it doesn't cause dryness. Versed claims its serum is certified by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, meaning the company's harvesting of bakuchiol doesn't hinder its natural survival in the wild.
Patricia Wexler, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Wexler Dermatology, previously recommended this paraben- and fragrance-free sunscreen for acne-prone skin. The mineral sunscreen is non-comedogenic, meaning it is oil-free and won't clog your pores — an added benefit for those with oily skin. It is a non-greasy formula and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, according to La Roche-Posay. Plus, it contains Cell-Ox Shield, the brand's proprietary blend of sun-blocking agents, which help fight environmental skin damage.
Method doesn't just make natural cleaning products. The brand offers bath and body products, including this highly-rated shower gel, the second bestselling clean body wash at the retailer. The plant-based body wash — with cleansing agents derived from coconut and palm oils — is safe for sensitive skin and smells like peony, rose and sea salt, to boot. According to Method, the 18-ounce bottle is made from 65 percent recycled plastic.
You can shop the Target Clean page by categories or by brand. Here's a glance at 16 popular brands across various categories that have earned the Target Clean seal. Also, just because one product earned a Clean Target seal does not mean the brand’s other products can boast the same. For example, Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Naturals features the Clean Target logo but other Purell products like this hand sanitizer and these wipes aren’t Target Clean. Your safest bet is to look at the product description pages and look for the green and white logo.
Having said that, you might have some preferred brands in mind (I love shopping by brand, for example), especially when it comes to skin care, wellness, and other intimate genres. To that end, here are some Shopping-favored brands with products that have earned the coveted Clean Target seal.
