Brandless is a website offering private label products including a full line of beauty products at a price of $6 or less. Previously, all the products were offered at $3, but the prices of some products have recently been hiked up. This post will review the Brandless beauty products I have tried.
The Green Tea & Aloe Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner are both lightly scented. The shampoo cleanses hair well and leaves it smooth and moisturized. The conditioner is leaves hair silky and isn't too thin which can sometimes happen with cheaper products.
They also produce a matching body wash in the same scent - Green Tea & Aloe Body Wash. This body wash also has a light scent and includes aloe vera as an ingredient. It lathers well and is non-stripping.
For me, the biggest miss of the products I tried is the Green Tea & Aloe Shave Gel. This product contains a lot of aloe vera as an ingredient. It has the same light green tea scent as the others. The trouble with this is, I find the product too slippery. It slides right off my leg when shaving! I would not repurchase this product. I think I prefer shave cream that adheres to the skin better.
My favorite of what I've tried is the Grapefruit Facial Cleanser. This has a nice refreshing grapefruit scent. It too is a translucent clear gel that lathers easily. It's non-drying and cleanses well. The product is also reminiscent of the pricier, Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Cleanser.
The website offers three choices of lip balm flavors Coconut, Acai Berry, and Cranberry Spice. I chose the Acai Berry. The lip balm is petroleum free and contains coconut oil and shea butter as primary ingredients. It is non-waxy. It's decently long-lasting.
The site also sells hand soap. I have used both the moisturizing Lemon Verbena as well as the Lavender Eucalyptus. Both lather easily and leave a lingering scent on the hands. I did not find to be too drying despite washing my hands many times a day.
Lastly, is the Citrus Bergamot Hand Cream. This too has a nice scent. The cream contains shea butter, olive fruit oil, and vitamin E. It's a decent hand cream, but probably not thick enough for the driest of hands.
