What sustainable skincare I’d buy in the 20% OFF Evolve Beauty Summer Sale!

I love and choose evolve organic beauty for health, ethics, and sustainability.

Skincare can feel like an impossibly big world so I want to break down my top picks from the Evolve Organic Beauty Sale! Sales can be the perfect moment to allow us to shop with the values that we want in terms of ethic, health and sustainability, but also to keep that in line with our budget. Because those both matter!

A few years back I dug into every skincare and makeup brand in the UK (it took forever) to see which were the best, from performance to sustainability. And then I did it again when Beautycounter closed earlier this year. Evolve came up top for me on all my values in creating safe products that are effective but with a positive impact – that’s a hard task. And they’ve only got better in the 5 years since I moved here and did that deep dive. Evolve have B Corp status, they’ve widened their range and options for more skin types, pushed to be stringent on formulation safety wise, and moved to extremely sustainable packaging. And something I LOVE: they’ve incorporated regeneratively grown ingredients into their products and a growing that area. This is the next step on from sustainability, actively improving the environment as they produce products. It’s something I love seeing and the ultimate goal in conscious consumerism.

Tip: Check for minis! Evolve have more affordable and giftable but still sustainable sizes on most items!

For all that they are, I think Evolve prices are pretty great. But I love that you can get smaller ‘tester’ and travel sizes that are a great place to start or make fantastic gifts. They’re one of my favourite things to gift year round. Evolve doesn’t compromise the sustainability for the smaller items either still using lower impact packaging, and keeping them refillable. I love getting to gift the B corp certified products and the values of sustainability, health and ethics for a lower price point!

My top Choices from Evolve Organic Beauty

You can really go wrong with Evolve, and you can return items too – but here are the Evolve Beauty picks I’d choose first.

1. Vitamin C and AHA Mask

This mask is a really good add on to your skincare routine, or a self care mask. It’s an exfoliating and brightening mask with vitamin C and AHAs. I use it as a part of my regular routine for brightening skin and smoothing it and I love anything with AHAs! It has a gentle citrus scent and like everything from Evolve, it’s COSMOS Organic, B Corp, Vegan and Leaping Bunny Certified.

2. Evolve Nightly Renew Facial Cream – my top night cream clinically proven to help sleep!

This is my go to Evolve night cream especially in winter when my dry skin needs something thicker and extra nourishing. It’s formulated for more dry maturing skin with sustainable Bio-Retinol from the plant Bidens Pilosa to help with fine lines and rejuvenating skin. It has a lavender scent (always essential oil derived) clinically proven to help with sleep. I thought this was a bit gimmicky (and I have no trouble sleeping) but I can honestly say when I put it on each night I feel so relaxed as I breathe it in and it feels like a simple night ritual that I love.

3. Evolve’s Gold Bio-Retinol Mask – perfect to gift or to nourish your own skin!

This is a personal favourite for really nourishing my skin in a mask. It doesn’t dry or peel off, it’s a hydrating, and rejuvenating mask with bio-retinol (not retinol at all though, it’s bakuchiol.) It’s very gentle and feels luxurious to apply, and using it in testing: 95.4% of people noticed a significant improvement in their skin, 100% of people agreed that their skin felt more nourished, and 80% agreed that the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles was improved.

4. Evolve Hyaluronic Serum + Eye Complex Roller – Favourites in my daily routine

These are my top choices for my every day routine. Evolve has a number of serums but these are the ones I find myself reaching for for the way they hydrate and make my skin feel. Both of them are more of a water based thin gel feel than an oil or serum. The eye roller is cooling and depuffing for me, and the hyaluronic acid serum feels like is hydrates, plumps and brings life to my face each day. Both are a 10/10 for my everyday routine.

5. Regenerative Kalahari Oil Cleanser – My daily cleanser

Skincare for me is about more than just my skin which is a reason I love Evolve Organic Beauty. I love this cleanser for how it cleanses everything (makeup too!) off my skin and leaves it hydrated and soft. But it also contains the Kalahari melon which is a naturally more drought resistant crop and is being used in regenerative farming in places where drought has hurt the land and economy. I love that. It’s a large bottle so it lasts a really long time too.

6. Evolve’s Facial in a Box – for a stunning bigger gift!

This is a bigger gift, but it’s something we’ve gifted and is a stunning gift. We love going together with other people to buy a more meaningful substantial gift which can be a great way to It’s got some of my everyday staples in it and that gold mask I love so much for really treating your skin (or someone else’s!) to a deep facial!

7. Climate Defence SPF

SPF is something I do wear pretty much year round in my makeup, but in the summer I make sure I’m wearing it all the time. Even when I’m not wearing makeup I want SPF for my face that doesn’t feel thick. And I love this one for being mineral SPF, safe for skin and the oceans, but not too thick and heavy on my skin.

7. Bio-Retinol and Vitamin C Booster Oil

I’m a huge fan of bakuchiol – which Evolve call Bio-Retinol. (It’s not retinol and doesn’t come with the same no use during pregnancy/breastfeeing warnings or potential irritation which I love). This oil can be used on it’s own, or to ‘boost’ any other product with that bakuchiol and vitamin C. I love the concept of being able to pick and choose skincare like that and add the actives in where we want them – like adding a drop to the Hyaluronic Acid Serum! It’s also a luxurious oil for using on it’s on. A few drops with a gentle citrusy scent hydrate the skin well and I sometimes opt for that.
