Crave new beauty products? Adore surprises? You’ll love these natural & organic beauty boxes!
By Diane Small
Attention Beauty Junkies! It’s now easier than ever to get pressies in the post every month. The trend for organic beauty boxes has really taken off, thanks to subscribers getting quickly addicted to the anticipation of getting a veritable cornucopia of beauty treats delivered right to the door every month.
Shampoo? Perfume? Eyeliner? Skin cream? Who knows? Every month holds a new surprise (or five!) for subscribers to natural and organic beauty boxes.
Apart from the obvious pleasure of receiving a lovely monthly package, a good organic subscription box can also save you a lot of time, money and hassle in finding new organic beauty products that work for you, especially if you don’t live in an area where organic beauty products are widely available. There are other benefits, too! For example, you will:
- Benefit from the convenience of have a box delivered to your door, instead of having to go to the shops
- Receive great discounts on products you may have previously thought were too expensive
- Get stuff that really suits you, after you fill out a profile card for the brand describing your preferences
Ready to treat yourself to a natural or organic beauty subscription box?
Here, we’ve found over a dozen gorgeous natural and organic beauty boxes that come packed with everything from luxurious lippies to natural nappies. As an added bonus, many of these boxes can be delivered anywhere in the world.
The Best Natural & Organic Beauty Boxes to Try
1. Birchbox
Cost: $10 a month or $110 for the year
Ships: All over the world
What’s Inside: Of all the best natural and organic beauty boxes, this is possibly the biggest and the best known of them all. Birchbox is a beauty junky’s dream come true, because you get to create a profile that customises whatever you get in the box.
For example, we would just choose ‘organic, vegan and all natural’ products, for dry skin and a fair complexion.
That being said, all the stuff on Birchbox isn’t organic – it pretty much carries gazillions of different brands.
What we love: Unlike most other subscriptions, Birchbox offers a box for dudes.
2. Glossybox
Cost: $21.00 per month
Ships: Worldwide
What’s Inside: According to the brand, you’ll find five ethical products that are ‘carefully selected by our experts’ to suit your tastes, skin type and complexion. This is not a designated organic beauty box, but there are plenty of organic and natural brands to choose from.
What we love: The boxes themselves are so pretty, you’ll want to keep them to store all your beauty products in.
3. Ecocentric Mom
Cost: $24 bi-monthly.
Ships: USA only
What’s Inside: Your monthly box will contain natural, vegan and eco-friendly goodies from businesses that care for the planet and your health. There is a strong focus on healthy, natural, non-toxic and organic products exclusively for moms, moms-to-be, and babies.
You might get some vegan snacks, 9-free nail polishes, or organic body oil, for example. This is definitely one of the best natural and organic beauty boxes for gifting at a baby shower or a child’s first birthday.
What we love: Makes a great gift for an expecting or new mom!

4. The Honest Company
Cost: $35.95/month for an Essentials Bundle or $79.95/month for a Diapers Bundle
Ships: USA and Canada
What’s Inside: This is beauty for your baby from the company co-owned by Jessica Alba. More a bundle of products than a box, the Diapers Bundle is a monthly supply of eco-friendly nappies, whilst the Essentials Bundle is comprised of natural & organic baby care and home cleaning products.
In short, everything you need when you have a baby, but are too busy to go out and buy!
What we love: You get to pick 5 products you prefer for the Essentials Bundle each month.

What’s Inside: 4-5 natural and organic sample and full sized products. Any samples you may get will be rather large, meaning you have more than enough product for you to decide if it’s right for you. You can also earn points in their shop with every purchase, review, and friend recommendation.
What we love: These guys carry over 35 different brands, all of which are vegan and cruelty-free. If you’re in the USA, you can enjoy free shipping. Oh, and the boxes are lovely! Candy pink and tied with a lovely re-usable ribbon. Definitely one of the best organic beauty boxes for gifting!
6. The Detox Box
Cost: From $39.95 to $55 a month

You’ll find a mineral toothpaste, a 3 in 1 bar that can be used to wash, shave and shampoo hair, and a skin fuel moisturizing oil. All three of these products are created to replace at least ten in your typical beauty routine, thus saving you money in the long run. Plus, almost all their packaging is recyclable.
What we love: This is one of the best organic beauty boxes for minimalists! Whilst many companies are trying to sell us multiple products, Akamai is built upon the ethos of wanting to sell you less! What they do deliver is stuff you will definitely want to use.

I don’t see Clean Routine Beauty listed here. They are a wonderful subscription box that is non-toxic and cruelty-free! Check them out…www.cleanroutinebeauty.com
I cannot find ANY subscription box from the “All Natural Face,” so they may have discontinued it…
Hi Christina! You are absolutely right. The company has gone under 🙁 We’ve instead replaced it with this fab sub box, which is also 100% vegan friendly http://www.thecrueltyfreebeautybox.co.uk/ Hope you love it!
Please note Bare Bliss is no longer in business and has TONS of complaints against them. Their website is still up so they continue to take peoples money (myself included) when you sign up but do not send anything and are no longer in business, have a valid phone number or email address. You should remove Bare Bliss.
OMG! Thank you so much for the info, Laura! Done!
