Best Natural Body Scrub
Love & Toast Dew Blossom Sugar Scrub, $11, loveandtoast.com
“It has a very pleasant citrus scent and is a good, gritty, aggressive sugar scrub. I definitely liked this product and feel it really helped to exfoliate and rejuvenate my skin.”
–Meagan Tallman, Wellington, Colorado
Best Natural Sunscreen
W.S. Badger Company Badger Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen Cream, $16, badgerbalm.com
“The scent is almost nonexistent, which is perfect for sunscreen.
It protected my skin from the sun better than many other sunscreens I’ve tried.“
–Donna Fiorino, Flushing, New York
Best Natural Body Oil
Erbaviva Shaping Oil, $29,

“The light citrus scent is infused with comforting vanilla. And the texture of the oil is perfect; it easily absorbs into damp, freshly exfoliated skin, is not greasy, and leaves a silken appearance and feel. I used this line during my first pregnancy a decade ago and postpartum.”
–Amanda Dumenigo, Longmont, Colorado
Best Natural Body Lotion
Earth Science Naturals Multi-Therapy Ceramide Healthy Skin Lotion, $12, earthsciencenaturals.com

Best Natural Hand Cream
