I am so excited to share my newest clean beauty discovery with all of you—especially if you’ve already experienced, or are currently going through menopause. Say hello to State Of, a very special brand that literally just launched a few weeks ago, and whose core beliefs are all about celebrating women. This brand was founded by the former President and CFO of Glossier, so you know we are in great hands here!
State Of was designed to help empower and complement this stage of life rather than sweep it under the rug. Whether needing cooling support for hot flashes, relief from aches and pains, or extra hydration for symptoms of dry skin, State Of has something that can help. I have tried the entire line and love how effective the products are and how they make me feel. Read on for an overview of their line, see some of my faves, and learn why they are all so good. Btw… the packaging is gorgeous too!

Changing hormones means changing skin and a feeling of always being in a “state of” flux. I have found the products from State Of to be incredible - the scent, the texture, and the overall effectiveness. My personal experience with menopause has ranged from hot flashes, dry skin and hair, brain fog, and some aches and pains, so these products are exactly what I need!
All the State Of products are vegan, cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified. Ingredients are ethically and sustainably sourced and free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, ethanolamines, formaldehyde, talc, mineral or petroleum oils, triclosan, synthetic fragrances, and dyes. Below are some of my favorites that you'll want to try right off the bat.

The Cooling Spray is a facial mist that offers an instant peppermint-fueled, calming sensation that helps keep hot flashes at bay when things start to heat up with sudden changes in body temperature.
The Rejuvenating Face Oil is an amazing recovery product intended to replenish and soothe the skin while you sleep. This concentrated blend of plant-based oils helps to promote a healthy skin barrier which can weaken with hormonal changes. It also works double duty by offering deep hydration, while at the same time helping me drift off to sleep with a soothing lavender scent.
I love a good CBD Body Oil and this one is full of naturally hydrating plant-based oils infused with US-grown CBD. It literally melted into my skin to instantly deliver a healthy glow and plenty of moisture! Soothing relief for the mind and the body.
The Cooling Facial Moisturizer is a lightweight, cooling cream perfect for when my skin feels both dry and hot. This super-charged, water-based formula soothes flushed skin instantly and delivers lasting hydration with no greasy feel.
I’m a big bath-time girl and absolutely love using the Lavender Bath Salts a few times a week to release muscle tension. A blend of soothing salt crystals combined with the calming scent of natural lavender soothes my mind and body—perfect after a long day of photoshoots.
State Of offers best-in-class beauty and self-care products that were actually developed by a Collective of “100 different women feeling 1000 different ways” to help target the challenges associated with all things menopause. Candid conversations with these women actually helped to formulate the products that I’ve been road-testing for the past few months. These women shared their views and feelings about their bodies, hot flashes, hormonal changes, and mood swings associated with pre, peri, and post-menopausal bodies
I love celebrating women by offering support where I can, and I’m always striving to help them look and feel their best, no matter what their stage in life. I’m thrilled to be partnering with the State Of and look forward to sharing more of my experiences with their products. As women, we should be able to feel confident and beautiful no matter what our age or stage of life!
