So you’ve got your at-home facials down to a science, but what about your body-care routine? It’s equally important to give skin (our largest organ) a little extra TLC on the regular—we’re talking balms, butters, lotions, and oils with clean ingredients to keep your body soft, smooth, and hydrated. Read on for our moisturizing must-haves to find out which formulas are right for you. (Rest assured that no matter your pick, it’s a safe choice, thanks to our Blueprint for Clean™.) 

FOR A LIGHTWEIGHT, EVERYDAY GLOW… 

Everybody needs a good standard lotion—something fresh and moisturizing that doesn’t cling to your clothes. So, we created our Hydrating Body Lotion in Bright Grapefruit, a light, creamy concoction that includes organic coconut oil and safflower oil. This clean-ingredient combo helps to moisturize and smooth skin, while absorbing super fast. And trust us, you’ll barely notice you’re wearing it—until you get complimented on your healthy-looking glow and that subtle grapefruit scent.*  

*After two weeks of use, 100% said it left skin with a healthy-looking glow. 

FOR INDULGING DRY SKIN… 

Let’s face it: sometimes, lightweight body lotions simply don’t cut it, especially during dry winter months when we need to up our hydration game. That’s where our thick, velvety body butter comes into your clean beauty routine—and this one takes “rich” to a whole new level. For a nourishing experience, we’ve used shea butter and mongongo oil to provide hydration, and more clean ingredients like organic sunflower oil, aloe, and chamomile to soothe and smooth. Oh, and that subtle hint of citrus? That’s our signature Citrus Mimosa scent. Learn more about our take on clean fragrance here.  

GENTLE ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY… 

Wondering whether you need a body balm and a body lotion? Our answer is an unequivocal “yes.” Think of Balm For All as your lotion’s sidekick, targeting chapped lips, cracked skin, and dry cuticles all year long. Fans report that our Balm For All works like a charm in more ways than one—and for every member of the family. The secret to its success? A gentle, fragrance-free formula of shea butter, jojoba oil, and organic sunflower oil that makes it safe enough for the most delicate skin. It’s even easy on the eyes and has ophthalmology testing to back it up—so it’s safe for contact-lens wearers, too. What can’t this balm do? 

FOR SPA-LIKE LUXURY… 

We’re here to say that spa-worthy self-care can be an everyday thing, and our Melting Body Balm is proof of that. This balm-meets-oil is so much more than your average moisturizer, with its unmistakable monoi scent and unique texture that melts from balm to oil as you massage it into your skin. Wondering what that feels like? Well, when we ran a consumer study, 100% said skin felt hydrated, soft, and silky. Plus, the appearance of dryness and ashiness was reduced**. That’s why we consider this balm a year-round luxury. After all, hot summer days and freezing-cold winters can do a number on our skin, and sometimes your lotion needs support.  

Pro tip: Apply Melting Body Balm after using our Luminous Hydration Body Oil for a spa-worthy moment.

FOR A LUMINOUS GLOW…. 

Thought body oils were slick and greasy? Not this one. Our Luminous Hydration Body Oil in Citrus Rosemary feels like pure silk on skin. And there’s nothing sticky about it—just a safer, hydrating blend of grapeseed, argan, rosehip, and passionfruit oils, plus a few more Beautycounter-approved ingredients that will change your shower routine forever. After a quick rinse (with either our go-to body wash or creamy body bar), massage the lightweight oil in, soaking up its delicate citrus and rosemary scent. It’s our recipe for head-to-toe glow.  

BTW: Did you know that some body oils contain mineral oil or synthetic fillers? These may contain potentially harmful ingredients, so they’re a no-go for us.

Great, healthy skin starts with clean skin, and that means investing in a facial cleanser that does more than just take off makeup or start the day fresh.  

Here at Beautycounter, we know skin care isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’ve created a variety of results-driven cleansers that tackle a host of skin-care needs, whether you’re looking to hydrate, rejuvenate, or simply refresh your skin.  

Making the switch to a clean cleanser has many benefits. Here’s why you should take the plunge: All of our clean cleansers work overtime to deliver real results without compromising on safety or efficacy. There’s no secrets about what’s in (and out) of our cleansers, either. We’ve ditched the harsh surfactants, skin irritants, and pesky fragrances, and added in skin-loving ingredients like squalane, vitamin E, and aloe vera.  

Which begs the million-dollar question: What kind of cleanser is right for you? Read along to discover a clean cleanser that works for your skin type. Whether you’ve got oily, dry, or mature skin, we’ve got you covered.  

Sensitive/Normal Skin 

Counterstart Cococream Cleanser 

Feeling a bit sensitive? This gentle daily cleanser removes makeup and impurities without stripping away moisture. The formula—made with a blend of coconut oil and aloe vera—leaves skin feeling nourished and soothed. Pair it with Counterstart Cocoboost Moisturizer, a gentle moisturizer perfect for everyday use.  

 
Mature 

Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil 

Our Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil is a luxurious and lightweight alternative to your standard cleanser. It gently (yet effectively) removes makeup and impurities without stripping essential lipids from the skin. Rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, and our plant-derived Retinatural Complex, the formula reinforces the skin’s fragile moisture barrier for a soothed and nourished complexion. It’s the perfect introduction to our Countertime line, a collection designed to visibly firm, brighten, and plump the skin. 

Blemish-Prone/Oily 

Countercontrol Clear Pore Cleanser 

Too often, cleansers meant to combat oily or blemish-prone skin strip moisture from already stressed-out skin. Our Countercontrol Clear Pore Cleanser removes oil, makeup, and other impurities without harsh surfactants. With our signature SkinBalance Complex and aloe vera formula, it helps purify pores and soothe skin, while jojoba beads gently slough away dead skin cells. Infused with an energizing citrus scent, it leaves your complexion feeling refreshed and balanced without dryness or irritation. Banish blemishes for good with our entire Countercontrol line.  

Dry 

Countermatch Refresh Foaming Cleanser 

All the products in our Countermatch line are designed to match the natural structure of the skin and deliver long-lasting moisture—and this refreshing cleanser is no exception. It features squalane, plum oil, and phytic acid to remove makeup, wash away impurities, and, most importantly, get you glowing.  

Universal All-Star 

Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm 

This multitasking cleansing balm, perfect for day and night use, is one of Founder & CEO Gregg Renfrew’s favorites for a reason. It hydrates while it cleanses, removes makeup and impurities, and has skin-nourishing ingredients like jojoba seed oil and shea butter. (Bonus: It can also be used as a mask for a hydrating overnight facial.) 

With any of these cleansers, you’ll build a rock-solid foundation for the rest of your clean routine. Curious about what other #betterbeauty you should include? Check out our skin-care quiz, and get a clean routine customized just for you.  

Glowing skin is like the skin-care holy grail: mysterious, highly sought after, and difficult to attain. The beauty industry is obsessed with a naturally radiant complexion, and while many products make big promises, very few can deliver lasting, luminous results. But at Beautycounter, we’ve got hydrated, glowing skin down to a science. If you’re over dull skin (and who isn’t?), read on: it’s time to meet your clean skin-care match. 

What Causes Dull Skin? 

In order to achieve radiant skin, we need to understand what causes dullness in the first place. Here are some of the most common complexion culprits—and their clean solutions, courtesy of our glow-boosting, ultra-moisturizing Countermatch Collection. 

Lack of Sleep 

Anyone who’s looked in the mirror after a lackluster night of rest already knows this one. Missing out on your beauty sleep can leave skin looking dull and tired. 

The Clean Solution: A deeply hydrating night cream will maximize sleep’s skin-care benefits. After just two weeks of using our hyaluronic acid-infused Countermatch Recovery Sleeping Cream, 97% of users said they woke up with softer, smoother, more vibrant-looking skin*.

Dehydration 

A quick myth-busting: Science hasn’t proven there’s a direct link between your complexion and daily H²O intake (though there are plenty of other benefits). Healthy, hydrated skin starts with powerful skin care.  

The Clean Solution: Our best-selling Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion provides up to 24 hours of hydration* with the help of squalane, which visibly restores elasticity, and plum oil, which is rich in omegas 6 & 9 and vitamin E. 

*Based on a 30-subject clinical hydration study over 24 hours. 

Environmental Stress 

It’s a fact: Exposure to increasing air pollution and free radicals can cause premature aging and inflammation. And don’t even get us started on the damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays. 

The Clean Solution: Since skin-care bodyguards aren’t a thing, clean ingredients are the next best thing. Our Countermatch Intense Moisture Serum is formulated with vitamins C and E to provide antioxidant protection against environmental stress (and help fight free radicals). And never forget the SPF. 

Dead Skin Cells 

Sorry for the visual, but dead cells sitting on the surface of skin can make otherwise healthy skin look dull and tired. Sloughing off that unnecessary layer can reveal instant radiance. 

The Clean Solution: Forget the drying witch hazel toner you used in high school. Our Countermatch Hydra-Gel Radiance Toner combats dull skin with phytic acid, a gentle, rice-derived exfoliator that boosts radiance and helps skin breathe for a natural-looking glow. After two weeks of use, 97% agreed skin looked more radiant and felt more hydrated*.
