A review of the best Andalou Naturals products that are made with natural, organic and plant-based ingredients and are paraben free, and best of all are an affordable natural skin care line.


Best Andalou Naturals Products

You’ve probably noticed, there are a lot of skin care brands to choose from out there. But sadly most brands contain synthetic and petroleum-based ingredients, many of which are potentially harmful, like paraben preservatives and undisclosed fragrance ingredients.

The good news is there are many better brands available today, but often you end up feeling like a detective trying to understand the tricky world of certifications, ratings and complicated ingredient names in order to find non-toxic beauty products.

Among all the cleaner, safer brands you’ll find on the shelves today, here’s a company that stands out among the crowd:  Andalou Naturals.

Andalou Naturals

I may receive commissions from purchases made through links in this article including Amazon Affiliates. Full Disclosure

Andalou Naturals products are made with a blend of natural, organic and Fair Trade ingredients and the company is committed to being transparent about ingredients and overall sustainability. Most importantly, Andalou Naturals products are accessible and affordable – meaning you can probably get your hands on them soon and try them out for yourself!

Here’s why I think Andalou Naturals stands out:

High quality ingredients

  • Minimum 70% certified organic ingredients (most formulas over 85%)
  • Majority of products score 1 to 3 (lower hazard) on the EWG’s cosmetic database
  • Increasing number of Fair Trade ingredients including shea butter, cocoa powder and hibiscus extract
  • Meets standard for Whole Foods Premium Body Care label

Transparent labeling

  • Full ingredient disclosure so that customers like you and me can make informed decisions
  • NO sulfates, GMOs, phthalates, petrochemicals, artificial dyes, synthetic fragrances, or paraben preservatives (paraben-free)
  • 100% Non-GMO Project Verified
  • Verified gluten-free, vegetarian, and cruelty free

Effective

Andalou Naturals products use Advanced Fruit Stem Cell science which has been clinically proven to help renew and repair healthy skin. I’ve tried many of their products over the years and have always found them to be very effective, easy and enjoyable to use with lovely naturally derived scents that are not overpowering.

(*Mindful Momma occasionally uses affiliate links. If you make a purchase using a link, I may receive a small commission. Thank you for your support if you do!)

A few of my favorite Andalou Naturals products include:

Andalou Naturals Avo Cocoa Skin Food MaskAvo Cocoa Skin Food Mask – It goes on super smooth, smells good enough to eat and leaves my face feeling nourished and healthy! Advanced Fruit Stem Cells, organic avocado and Fair Trade cocoa help to slow cellular damage and stimulate healthy cell renewal. 

1000 Roses Soothing Body Lotion – Lightweight but nourishing body lotion made with rosewater and aloe vera (lotions also available in a variety of other scents).

1000 Roses Daily Shade SPF 18 – My new go-to for daily sun protection. The lightweight formula goes on ultra-sheer and has broad spectrum (UVA & UVB) protection. The light scent from rose essential oil is divine!

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses BB Cream1000 Roses Color + Correct SPF 30 CC Cream – A lightweight, tinted moisturizer with mineral based (zinc oxide), broad spectrum SPF coverage. Available in Tan or Nude color.

Perfecting Beauty Balm SPF 30 BB Cream – Beauty balm with a natural tint, made with fruit stem cell complex, resveratrol CoQ10 and SPF 30 sun protection.

Affordable

Best of all, Andalou Naturals is affordable!! It’s nice to find a line that I can buy without cringing at the price. (for example, a 6-oz cleanser is $14.95 and nothing in the line is over $30.) You can find Andalou Naturals at Whole Foods Markets, Target, other specialty stores and online.

    It was honestly refreshing to see that these products are “Verified gluten-free, vegetarian, and cruelty free”. I saw a documentary recently on the use of animals in the cosmetic field. Do you know of other makeup lines that can assure buyers that they’re “cruelty free”?

    Hi Kiersten – I really recommend giving Andalou Naturals a try. I'm actually heading to Whole Foods today to pick up a facial cleanser today! I guess that means I'm hooked!

    Hi Maryssa – I agree – it's nice to know that products are cruelty-free. Peta.org has a search engine that helps you find companies that do not test on animals: http://www.peta.org/living/beauty-and-personal-care/companies/default.aspx

    Also – look for the leaping bunny symbol on products and check out their website for cruelty free products: http://www.leapingbunny.org/partners.php

    I haven’t heard of this brand before–thanks for sharing! I’ve had an easy time switching to natural home care products, but it’s been tougher finding skincare and make-up that’s still effective & doesn’t irritate my skin. I’m going to check out Andalou next time I’m at Whole Foods.

    I’ve recently started using the “Omega Glow Facial Concentrate” – I like it but fine the smell too strong so I only put it on before I leave the house so I know I’ll be walking for a bit.
    It feels good on and early results seem good as yesterday my mom commented that I looked very fresh-faced (this was after a 10hour work day) – so something is working. I’ll see if it keeps it up.

    I’m currently using an organic skin care line. And yeah, I love the results. I love that this is a vegetarian skin care line. Hmmm… I’ll definitely try this line from Andalou Naturals.

    I was looking for a product that would help me with anti aging and help me with achne every so often and something that would truely moisturize my skin, shrink my pores, help with wrinkles, etc. I found it, so far it is Andalou skin care, I use the Grapfruit c exfolating mask, blossom & leaf toner, eye serum, super polypeptide lift & firm cream, fruit stem cell night repair, daily defense lotion, dermal wrinkle filler, and the fruit stem cell revitalize serum. I have been using these products for two weeks now and my skin has lost the rosacea and other red spots, my red scares are deminishing, my fine lines under my eyes, between my eye brows and on my upper lip are deminishing, my skin tone is evening out and do not see little ache bumps any as much and my skin is finally soft as a babies bottom and the best part is with the even skin tone I no longer have a greasy T zone.

    So far I love this product and will never go back to anything else. So glad it is doing what they say it supposed to do and working for my skin after spending soooo much money on other products that don’t work and it is natural.

    The other products also bothered my eyes because of the chemicals in them and always gave me headaches. No no more headaches or irratated eyes, what a relief.

    I am not a seller of this product no an affilian of any kind, just a normal stay at home working mom that so desperately wanted to look and feel better.

    I love this line of skin care and have been using it on and off for years. I am 68 years old. I kept switching to other products thinking that they might be better but always came back to Andalou products. So for the past year and a half I’ve been faithful and see wonderful results. I especially love the fresh, clean and light feeling with everything that I’ve tried from this company.
    I have used Goji Perfecting Cream, Purple Carrot + C Night Cream, Reserveratrol Q10 Night Repair Cream, Meyer Lemon Creamy Cleanser. My new favorites are anything from 1000 Roses line…including 1000 Roses Floral Toner and Heavenly Night Cream. Even though I’m a mature woman of age and I still wear make up…all of these products produce a soft and glowing foundation for my makeup. I really do get many many complements on my skin. Also My skin is sensitive and a little on the dry side.
    I can’t say enough good things about line of skin care.

    Do you think that Andalou products are cleaner than or just as clean/good as Crunchi products?

      I’ve never tried Crunchi products.
