The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Face masks are supposed to soothe, nourish, and heal our skin, so why do most mask formulas include ingredients harmful to our health and the planet?
Thankfully, we have better options with organic and natural face masks. They include sustainably sourced botanical ingredients that are good for our skin and the environment. For healthy, glowing, and bright skin, check out these brands for organic face masks (creams and sheets) that are as sustainable as they are effective.
