Top 10 Natural Moisturizers for Your Skin | Moisturizer to Nourish Dry Skin
Let Your Natural Beauty Shine
Our skin absorbs the majority of what we put on it—whether it’s creams, lotions, or oils. And we’ve all seen the side effects when products don’t work well with our skin: rashes, irritation, and dryness abound. That’s why we’re fans of using the highest-quality and most natural ingredients as possible.
We’ve found seven natural and organic face moisturizers for every skin type—the best route to natural and glowing skin. These moisturizers use ingredients like organic jojoba oil, seed oils, and shea butter to leave skin radiant—and leave you ready to take on the day with confidence.
Let us know your favorites! If you're on the search for other natural beauty recommendations, check out our guide to organic makeup and organic skin care.
