Why Are Some Skin Care Products So Expensive?

As we said above, the sticker shock from some beauty and cosmetics products can be, well, shocking, and there are a number of reasons for that. Sometimes, it really can be because the cost of the ingredients is so high, for example, in the case of a gold facial. Sometimes, however, it’s because the company spends a significant fortune on marketing and paying the celebrities who appear in company advertisements. Or perhaps that company is using very elaborate, costly packaging. It depends on the product and the company, but you might very surprised at some of the factors that can contribute to the price of skin care.

At Fleur & Bee, we aim to offer both affordable and effective skin care, which is why our products are priced at $80 or less. We use high-quality, sustainably sourced, 100% vegan ingredients and none of the nasties like parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, GMOs, artificial fragrances, gluten, or dyes.

5. Fleur & Bee Youth Fairy Retinol Moisturizer

Fleur & Bee Youth Fairy

If you haven’t incorporated retinol into your skincare routine, what are you waiting for? One of the most studied and widely used skincare ingredients out there, retinol is known for its ability to lift, firm, smooth and even out skin tone. It encourages collagen production and increases cell turnover, both of which deplete and decrease with each passing year. This wonder ingredient is ideal for reducing the appearance of dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. We’ve concocted the perfect beginner’s retinol moisturizer to nourish your skin while targeting those pesky signs of aging. Supported by plant stem cells, evening primrose oil and squalane, Youth Fairy will superbly moisturize while revealing radiant, younger looking skin– all at the incredibly affordable price of $80.

6. Pacifica Beauty: Vegan Collagen SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Every Day Face Lotion

Pacifica Beauty Vegan Collagen SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Every Day Face Lotion

If there’s one part of skin care that’s really going to keep you looking your best and youngest, it’s wearing a great sunscreen which is why we’re fans of this lotion from Pacifica. With a 30 SPF and vegan collagen, it will help protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays while helping hydrate it. As a lotion, it’s also very easy to incorporate it into your skin care routine. Just make sure you’re re-applying every few hours or after going in the water!

Made with shea butter and coconut, it’s the perfect shampoo to drive the frizzies away ethically–and at about $10, it’s also the perfect choice if you’re trying not to spend a lot on your hair. And don’t forget, they also make an accompanying conditioner if you really want to give your hair the moisture treatment!

8. Love Beauty And Planet: Deodorant with Coconut Oil and Ylang Ylang

Love Beauty And Planet Deodorant with Coconut Oil and Ylang Ylang

We usually don’t think of skin care as including deodorant, but it really does fall under that umbrella which is why this affordable deodorant is such a great find. Yes, it’s a little more expensive than a “regular” deodorant, but given that it’s all vegan and offers 24-hour protection, it’s well worth it!
