All the Clean-Beauty Items I’d Buy During Credo’s Sitewide Sale
It’s that time again: The annual Friends of Credo Beauty Sale is back, and the entire site — filled with clean, cruelty-free products held to the retailer’s high standards — is 20 percent off. Many of the included brands and products (Tower 28 face mists, Osea body oils, and Ceremonia hair spritzes among them) rarely get price cuts, so the sale is worth shopping before it ends on October 26. I sifted through the site and found all the Strategist-approved products worth stocking up on, many of which also make great gifts if you want a head start on holiday shopping.

This rejuvenating moisturizer is one of our favorites for aging skin. Its chebula and acerola-cherry ingredients maintain hydration and, according to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Daniel Butler, it “works phenomenally well at reversing the stressors that show externally on the skin as we age.”

Ilia’s discounts are few and far between, so I like to stock up during Credo sales. A true triple threat, this skin-care–SPF–makeup hybrid is one of the best tinted moisturizers on the market. Makeup artist Rose Siard specifically loves the way it blurs imperfections.

We first raved about Tata Harper’s hydrating, acne-busting face mask back in 2017, and it’s still worth buying in 2025 (especially while it’s under $50, which very rarely happens).

AKT’s balm is a very effective full-body deodorant — and it smells great, too. It applies like a balm, dries down into an invisible powder, helps with chafing, and is vetted by London’s West End performers.

Cocofloss is the best floss — but it’s more expensive than typical drugstore brands. Stock up while it’s a few bucks cheaper.

If your scalp gets dry and irritated in winter, our writer Arielle Avila highly recommends Nécessaire’s scalp shampoo and conditioner — both of which are on sale. She reaches for her set whenever her scalp needs a little R&R.
