Indie Beauty Brands You’ll Want to Try from This Year’s Indie Beauty Expo

Did you know that when it comes to beauty, indie brands are one of the fastest-growing categories? I personally love discovering new brands and was thrilled to be chosen by the IndieBeautyExpo (IBE) to curate my own personal clean beauty boutique called onTUWI.

onTUWI stands for Team Up With Indie and it is a platform where influencers are asked to style a digital boutique with their favorite brands from the IndieBeautyExpo (IBE), which was held in Los Angeles last month. From close to 200 beauty, wellness and lifestyle brands, I chose 11 of my favorites that were represented at IBE, and I will be selling them through my online boutique at a 20% discount when you use the promotion code Melissam20.

My boutique will only be open for a limited time, so check out my fave picks below to see which ones you may want to try for yourself, and to read a bit more about each individual brand’s mission.

Click the images or shop buttons to purchase directly until March 31st and remember to use special promo code Melissam20 to receive 20% off all purchases!

Live Unstoppable with Source Naturals

As most of you know, I’ve been on a wellness journey over the past few years and have been doing my best to implement all the steps to be as healthy as I can be for my age. Not only do I want to incorporate clean and natural products in my beauty routine, but it’s super important for me to treat my body well from the inside out. So, I’m always on the hunt to find and try new products that benefit both. Say hello to the Wellness Formula supplements and CBD Cream from Source Naturals.

Since I seem to always burn the candle at both ends, I need to be diligent about taking my supplements like the Wellness Formula by Source Naturals to help me maintain a strong immune system! It’s an award-winning blend of over 25 vitamins and herbs that help support not only the immune system, but the respiratory and antioxidant defense systems as well. Source Naturals’ formulation strategy, called Bio-Alignment, was used to create the Wellness Formula, among other amazing supplements, by choosing optimal nutrient forms that work at the cellular level to provide balance to the body’s interdependent systems. The company’s signature formulas help manage internal imbalances that come up as a result of stress, poor nutrition, and environmental pollutions – which so many of us are far too familiar with. When I take the Wellness Formula, I feel confident that I’m doing everything I can to help my body and immune system stay strong!

With CBD being such a buzz-worthy topic, I’ve been intrigued by all of the ways it’s been incorporated into different products - from body creams to coffees. I couldn’t be happier with Source Pure CBD Cream as I spend a good part of my day sitting in front of the computer. This product is uniquely derived from orange peels rather than hemp and contains traditional herbs and organic botanicals. The plant-based cream is 100% THC-free, non-psychoactive, and is one of the purest forms on the market, so it is super high-quality. I like to apply at the beginning and end of each day to feel my best.

If you’re interested in stocking up on some key wellness products for the coming fall and winter months, Source Naturals has your back. They’ve been around for nearly 40 years and have a proven deep understanding of the body and its functions. Incorporating products that help benefit inner and outer strength is something I take seriously, and Source Naturals has helped me find solutions that make me feel and live unstoppable.
