2. Hyaluronic Moisture Boost Serum
To stay moisturized, you need to keep your skin’s moisture locked in. (That’s where Hyaluronic Acid comes in.) The compound is ideal for doing just that, and this $9 serum is loaded with it, along with 1% sodium hyaluronate that truly penetrates your parched skin.
PRO TIP
According to Northwestern Medicine, gel moisturizers can be particularly effective on oily skin. They are most effective when applied to slightly damp skin to seal in moisture and help prevent your skin from drying out.

3. Marula Facial Oil

TRADER JOE’S BEAUTY PRODUCTS
1. Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40
This lightweight, invisible gel will provide you with daily sun protection – and you won’t even realize you’re wearing it! We also found it’s the perfect dupe for Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen (and just a fraction of the price!)

1. Sensitivity + Whitening Peppermint Fluoride Toothpaste
Beauty isn’t just about your skin and hair. It’s also a bright and healthy smile. This peppermint oil fluoride toothpaste is formulated for sensitive teeth, and also works at strengthening enamel and whitening. Plus, at just $4 a tube, it’s also considerably cheaper than other sensitive and natural brand toothpaste.

2. Unscented Deodorant
What we like most about this deodorant is that it’s natural (made with arrowroot powder and zinc ricinoleate to absorb odors, as well as coconut oil and jojoba esters to moisturize) and eco-conscious. It comes in a paper tube that uses much less plastic than other brands.

This is great information. Thanks for doing the research. Do you know when the Lemon Body oil is normally carried. I understand some products are seasonal. Is this the case for any of the ones you listed.
Yes, some of these are seasonal. I believe the lemon body oil is available in the spring and summer. Thanks for your comment! xx -B
