Grown Alchemist: The Organic Skincare Line You Need To Try This Year

Who else is a clean beauty skincare junky? We’ve come a long way in the skincare world from the days of our grandmother’s Pond’s Cold Cream. Just, no. Please no. We can do so much better than this, people. It’s 2021!

If you're looking to up your skincare game, the one brand I love is Grown Alchemist! I first was introduced to this amazing brand from a prior client, a past client, UK's Showcase Beauty. It remains a fave! It has one of the most minimalistic, sleek, and sophisticated packaging. Moreover, it’s eco-friendly and sustainable! Don’t you love that?

It’s a botanical brand from Melbourne. The products have absolutely ZERO harmful and artificial ingredients. Not to mention these products all smell absolutely amazing; it’s like stepping into a spa surrounded by nature. If you’re concerned about the fragrance, fete not; This fragrance is comprised of Essential Oils.


Through a profound understanding of human biology, cellular renewal, and nutrient utilization, our formulations represent a new evolution of scientifically capable biological beauty.

I mean… Could we ask for any better?

One thing I really want to say as a reminder is that just because a brand says they are Vegan or Cruelty-Free and they use plants in their marketing, it does not mean that they are natural and use the best ingredients.

I really try and look for completely natural and more importantly a brand that’s Certified Organic, especially if it’s a lip balm and going near my mouth and on my face. I have sensitive/super dry skin. The consistency of this cream is amazing. It's extremely moisturizing and seeps in the skin. Great for morning/through the day use.

I did a huge haul a few months ago at Credo Beauty, the largest clean beauty store. Today, I want to review the two exfoliants from Grown Alchemist.

I'm a fan of physical exfoliants, yes, and I’m dead serious. They work amazingly on my skin. Listen to your skin; what works for me may not work for you.
