Leah's List: Top 6 Clean Beauty Subscription Boxes
Hi there and welcome back! So you’re convinced it’s time to start living a greener, cleaner lifestyle… But where do you start?! Good news, that’s what I’m breaking down for you in this post.
I’ll be the first to admit that a green lifestyle CAN be expensive. While good, quality ingredients DO often cost a little more, you can also find A LOT of affordable options AND cut some fat from your routine to make up for it. What I’m saying is, my hope is that I can help you navigate this busy landscape while taking it easy on your wallet and more importantly, keep you from wasting your hard earned cash on junk that doesn’t work.
So today is all about SUBSCRIPTIONS, easily the most affordable way to try a lot of products without straining your budget so you’ll be on your way to a new routine in no time!
BEAUTY:
SEE NEW - The best value in the game. Focusing on emerging brands, this box will give you the a high quantity of products in the box (meaning you’ll get to try A LOT of stuff) and the price points for re-purchase will be most reasonable.
Ships bi-monthly
Receive 4-6 full size products in each box, all from the same brand
Guaranteed value of $190+, cost is $44/box
BEAUTY HEROES - This one is more concentrated in luxury beauty so the repurchase price point will likely be on the high side. But the owner Jeannie has an eye for beautiful, incredible brands that really deliver on results so you’re likely to find powerhouse products that will become staples in your routine.
Ships monthly
Receive at least 1 full size product and a deluxe side-kick (usually another full size product)
Guaranteed value of $100, cost is $40-58 depending on how many months you can sign up for at a time (e.g. signing up annually offers the best price but requires you to pay upfront which isn’t possible for everyone)
Another perk, all members get 15% off purchases in their online store
CLEAN BEAUTY BOX - Clear distinction for CB is they build their box around a theme and partner with products from different brands around that theme. So it’s a great way to experience many brands quickly. It’s also the only box I’ve seen that you can tell them allergies or vegan preferences and they will help you work around it.
Ships bi-monthly
Receive 2-3 full size products each month, most often from different brands
No guaranteed box value (from what I can find!), cost is $42-68/box and similar to Beauty Heroes, you pay upfront.
Another perk, all members get 15% off purchases in their online store
BOXWALLA - Focused on artisanal brands and slow beauty, Boxwalla is most intentional about its choices and pairings.
Ships bi-monthly for $49.95
No hard and fast rules about quantity of products, brands, or guaranteed value, but very often 2 full size products from 2 different brands is around ~$200 value
There are other boxes, including The Detox Box, that really don’t offer anything too unique, so I left them off and brought you the SIX subscription boxes I fancy most.
LIFESTYLE:
MIGHTY NEST - Focused on making living a sustainable, healthy life easy. Each box contains a product that makes it easy to make ONE healthy change per month.
At only $11/mo it feels like a real steal for the impact it will have
You fill out a quick questionnaire to help them understand where you need the most help so they focus on sending you useful products
CLEANING:
GROVE - OK! I cheated. This is not a subscription box, just a great place to find clean, sustainable cleaning products. They have a ton of private label options which are affordable.
Happy subscribing! Let me know what products you’re falling in love with in the comments! Until next time…
Hugs,
