Indy-Based Beauty Brands We’re Crushing On
Why spend hundreds of dollars on products made abroad when you can get affordable alternatives made locally? Beauty products are something that we’re constantly trying and shifting from due to the plethora of options available out there.
It is always great to support local businesses that may not have the resources and opportunities that well-established brands do, but still make amazing products. Especially since most of them commit themselves to social causes, like giving back to the environment or donating their proceeds to non-profits. In simple words, a purchase that is a win-win for the planet, people and you!
Here are some Indiana-based beauty businesses that you should definitely check out and support.
This is a popular name you might have already heard, but we’re here to remind you again! Ambre Blends is a women-owned business that makes organic and unisex body products. They’re also great for the environment since they produce handmade vegan goodies with minimal, clean, biodegradable and recyclable packaging.
If you want to make a purchase that doesn’t leave you feeling guilty, then this is a brand you should try. Skinny & Co. are not your ordinary “organic obsessed” brand, but they still value sustainability and naturally made processes. They are chemical-free and super affordable. With maximum transparency, they empower people in Vietnam by offering them secure jobs and quality education.
Naptown Flo
Sick of buying your beauty products online that don’t always come in the best condition? Then, head over to your local farmer’s market because Naptown Flo has your back with amazing plant-based dry shampoo. They also have hand-made essential oils, facial toners, sanitizers and much more. The best part is that these products are made naturally using real, organic ingredients. You’ll also be supporting a social cause as parts of their profits go to Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.
We’re not leaving makeup off the list for all the beauty goddesses! Crown makes the best lot of affordable makeup products, starting from their popular eyeshadow palettes, brushes, lipsticks, bronzers and much more. They are a family-owned business with their headquarters in Crown Point along with over 20+ outlets.
Obsessed with the process of soap-making, Get Lathered was founded by Indy pharmacist Rhonda Frye. She has been able to perfect a formula of shampoo and conditioner bars that suit a diverse range of hair types, made with eco-friendly, green and biodegradable ingredients, and they have plastic-free packaging.
