If you have come across this post, chances are you are searching for cleaner health & beauty products. Starting your journey to a non-toxic lifestyle can be difficult and overwhelming—which ingredients are good, which are bad, what brands will work best? Something that we know for sure is that when choosing healthier products, you have to work at your own pace and give yourself time to find products that work for you and help you to feel your best.
Thankfully, in the natural beauty world, there are great opportunities to try products monthly in the form of subscription boxes, which allow you to try several brands without having to commit to tossing all of your products at once or splurging on expensive full size products you aren’t sure will work. With this mentality in mind, we are happy to have found Good Green Box. A monthly subscription box that encourages you to find Better Beauty and to “Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful”, and that’s something we can definitely get behind!
Good Green Box is based in Australia, and was launched in April 2016. After founder, Kristy, noticed there was a gap for a beauty box subscription dedicated to ‘better for you’ products, she knew she had to explore her idea. Kristy had worked in a number of categories from soft drinks to dishwashing liquid and it became very clear to her that even across all of these different categories, people were really concerned with what they were putting on and into their bodies. With her passion for beauty and knowing of all of the wonderful boutique brands in the market, she knew this was something people would love!
What can you expect in your box each month?
Every month, subscribers will find their box packed full of products that are either natural, organic, vegan, non-toxic or cruelty-free. Good Green Box aims to include a staggering 6-10 sample size products in each box! When it comes to choosing the brands that will be included, they are very supportive of local Australian brands, but most importantly, the products need to be better for you. They also strive to curate each box with a lot variety so you aren’t receiving multiple samples of the same product type.
Australian green beauties rejoice!!
Good Green Box is currently only available to residents of Australia, and will cost $25 AUD per month. (shipping is included!) So, if you live in Australia and have been searching for a green beauty box that is available where you live – search no more!

Better beauty, to me, means companies committed to excellence that don’t cut corners by using crappy fillers or any harmful or even potentially harmful ingredients. And products that do nothing but GOOD in terms of uplifting the spirits (through essential oils etc.) and making you look and feel fantastic. -@ericaleib

Better beauty means the products we use not only good for our skin, health but also for our mind and planet @luvbuzzbuzz
Better beauty means learning about all the toxins that are on our conventional beauty products and discovering that that there are better options out there. Most of these better alternatives are not only better for your skin, they are better for the environment, better for the animals, are made by better persons, and better quality. When we switch to Better beauty we are not only making better decisions for our wellbeing, but also for the future of our planet. – socali_azul
significa mejores productos para nuestra piel, y para el planeta

Better beauty to me, means knowing what you’re putting on/into your skin doesn’t have any scary side effects that can effect your health!! As a new mama to a baby girl, I hope I can teach her the importance of beauty coming from within in acts of kindness empathy and understanding not about how much makeup you wear or how thin you look..in this time it is so important to teach the next generation that beauty and makeup or cosmetics can be safe and empowering without all the nasty chemicals which ruin not only our bodies but the environment around us!!

Better Beauty is putting our planet first; by putting our planet first , we put ourselves first. When we choose to use products that are kinder to our bodies, then we are kinder to our earth. Self love is Earth love. @thebohogardener
Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s about having a pretty mind, pretty heart and pretty soul.

Better beauty is being healthy in mind body and spirit. It also means taking care of the environment and everything we share this planet with to maintain the beauty rather then destroy it. Better beauty is non toxic, no chemicals, no pesticides or GMO’s. It’s all about being organic, and buying products off organic companies, organic shops, and organic Etsy shops, also buying only organic fruits and vegetables #9 from farmers markets. Better beauty is loving and taking care of ourselves,the air,the plants, and every living organism in the ? ❤️????????????????????
