As many of you may know I’ve been seeking out products that are made with cleaner ingredients. Places like Sephora has made the process somewhat easier as they know have a Clean at Sephora seal on these products that they sell. During this clean beauty/ingredients quest I came across of a store by the name of Follain. The clean beauty store, Follain is known to carry beauty and body products that contain clean ingredients. I’m happy to say I’ve teamed up with them and now I’m an ambassador.

Follain carries a wide variety of products from different categories that include skincare for face and body, hair care along with makeup products. I was happy to see that they have stores all over the United States. I was able to go in store to the NYC-West Village location to have a look around. While there I saw many of my favorites along with brands I’ve briefly heard about and many that were new to me. Follain even carries their own brand of skincare items from many of the categories mentioned.

Follain was founded in 2013. They restrict toxic ingredients. If you’re interested in seeing the which ingredients, click here. They have a five step approval process to ensure that the products that they feature and carry are safe and effective. The fact that I’m interested in trying out and incorporating clean beauty products, I thought Follain would be a good fit for me to partner up with and be a part of their ambassador program. As an ambassador I’ll be exposed and able to try out more beauty and lifestyle products that fits this niche.

Indie Lee CoQ10 Toner- This is already my favorite night time toner. I love how hydrating it is along with the benefits. Now that I have this mini, I’ll probably keep this in my bag. I also have another mini in a travel bag. A full size in use at home and a couple of backups for when they run out. I can easily say that I will continue to repurchase this toner. Now that I have this mini is a skinny tube, I plan on keeping it in my makeup bag to use at work or after my gym workouts.

Follain Refillable Soap: I really like the lemongrass scent. The idea of an all in one soap that can be used on hands, body, dishes, counters, pets, delicates and children. I’ve used the soap a few times as a body wash and I really like it! I find the lemongrass scent to be refreshing and perfect to use in the morning as a pick me up. The over-all texture and performance of the soap is nice as well. It lathers, but not as much as a traditional body wash. After using it my skin feels clean and not drying. I fully intend on purchasing the Follain Soap in the full size to use as a body wash.

Ingredients: ⓥ Vegan - *Saponified Coconut Oil, **Saponified Olive Oil, **Saponified Jojoba Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, **Guar Gum Extract, **Rosemary Extract, Aloe Vera Gel

The Go-Clean Pouch is the perfect size to hold makeup brushes, pens and other necessities. I plan on using my pouch daily to hold pens and other stationary supplies in my work tote.

As for the other items, I’ll be testing them out in the upcoming weeks and months. I’ll be sure to check back in to let you know what I like and what I don’t. If you’re interested in purchasing this kit or any of their other kits, you can save 15% with the code: ref15_ev3dsg

Where to start with clean beauty?

Not sure where to start? One thing that really stood out to me on the Follain website is that they offer an online Skin Quiz. You’re also able to obtain a clean consult via text or through a live chat. Once you complete the skin quiz, the results are emailed directly to you with multiple options from each category to choose from.
