2. JLo Beauty: That Blockbuster Wonder Cream

It was only a matter of time before Jennifer Lopez expanded beyond fragrances with a full-fledged beauty line. JLo Beauty launched in 2021 with cruelty-free and clean skincare featuring the proprietary Olive Complex, a concoction packed with extra virgin olive and fermented oils, olive leaf extract, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. It’s the hero ingredient in the brand’s That Blockbuster Wonder Cream, resulting in dewy hydration and soft skin.

4. Keys Soulcare: Be Luminous Exfoliator

Alicia Keys superfans can copy the Grammy-winning artist’s makeup-less routine by way of her newly-launched wellness lifestyle brand, Keys Soulcare. Created in collaboration with drugstore stalwart E.l.f. Cosmetics and formulated by a board-certified dermatologist, the cruelty-free line is made without the over 1,600 ingredients banned by the EU Cosmetics Regulation.

This water-activated exfoliating powder turns into a creamy foam that removes dead skin cells and restores the skin. It’s concocted with antioxidant-rich Hojicha powder, mung beans, and oats that leave the skin softer and smoother, while lactic acid and alpha hydroxy acids reveal a brighter visage.

5. Honest Beauty: No Makeup Makeup Kit

Jessica Alba‘s non-toxic lineup of brands includes Honest Beauty, which is cruelty-free and spans across skincare, cosmetics, and accessories for all skin types and tones. We’re fans of the label’s Extreme Length Mascara and Primer duo, and we like that this “no makeup” makeup collection includes the best-selling lash product alongside favorites such as the vitamin C-infused Clean Corrective tinted moisturizer with SPF 30, the Everything Primer, Luminizing Glow Powder, an eyebrow pencil, tinted lip balm, and blendable blush.

The brand’s priming and lightweight oil features antioxidants and pearlescent pigments that bring radiance and smoothness to the skin when worn underneath makeup.
