Farm to Face: Beauty Brands that Grow Their Own Ingredients

Farm to Face: Beauty Brands that Grow Their Own Ingredients

Think of this beauty trend as beauty you could almost eat. Potent and healthy natural ingredients from farms that the brand owns. The brands in this list are the cream of the (organic crop) when it comes to clean beauty. They grow their own ingredients and really care about the integrity and transparency of the product they make. It’s a huge step for the beauty industry as a whole and will push bigger and less transparent bands in the direction of all natural which is better for your skin and the earth. Here are 15 of my favorite farm to face beauty brands.
