Living in the UK is a blessing and a curse when it comes to natural and organic beauty products. We have many fabulous homegrown brands here and we have some equally fabulous importers, stores and distributors who make brands from further afield available to us. Obviously not every line makes it across the pond so we do miss out on a good proportion of the wonders out there. Read full post »
Lovely list! There are some great Germany-based brands. Thanks for sharing this list!
Thank you Jordan. I thoroughly agree so am glad you liked the list. Keep an eye open for more Top 5 countries soon :)

I love Alverde, Alterra (found in Rossman drogeries), Hauschka, Lavera, Sante, Logona… there are plenty of good organic make-up products in Germany. -Alterra is as cheap as Alverde. Some products are better in either of these lines, as eyeshadows with better pigment in Rossman line, not so good in DM. Anyway, both of them have lvely shower gels, body butters etc., on-average shampoos, pretty good pencils and lipsticks, bronzers etc. etc. I always come bags full from Germany :D
I haven't heard of Alterra, will definitely keep an eye out for it next time I am in the country. Thanks for the heads up :)
Looking forward to this series. I do live beauty globe trotting. Germany seems to do budget friendly natural beauty really well. As you mention, sadly on the base front, there's nothing for dark skin (not exclusive to German brands – I struggle to think of any British ones….)
Woohoo! Me too. There are so many great brands across the world I think it's going to be hard to narrow it down to 5 each month!! :)
