Blume

So here's the thing about Blume-they're basically the anti-beauty brand that somehow became a beauty brand, if that makes any sense. Founded to make self care easier and healthier while destigmatizing normal experiences like acne, puberty, periods and sex ed, these folks decided the beauty industry needed a serious reality check.

And honestly? They weren't wrong. The founders experienced the messages in the beauty industry making them feel they were not enough, so they created what they call "the antidote to this." It's refreshing, really-a company that actually says breakouts happen instead of pretending everyone should have porcelain skin 24/7.

With over 400,000+ happy customers, Blume products are formulated with acne-prone and sensitive skin in mind, founded by sisters Taran & Bunny who believe that healthy skin is better than perfect skin. That philosophy runs through everything they do, from their award winning skin care that's clean, effective and affordable to their period care products.

What's particularly clever is how they've positioned themselves. They offer organic products for your period, from organic tampons and PMS essential oils to acne treatments and face wash. It's like they looked at the awkward teenage years and said, "Let's make products for all the stuff nobody wants to talk about."

The company ships from North America and has built quite the following-they've amassed a fan following of over 92k on Instagram and have been featured in numerous media publications such as Teen Vogue and Allure. Not bad for a brand that started because two sisters were tired of trying countless products that didn't work.

A portion of proceeds from each sale goes to Days for Girls, an organization that turns periods into pathways for girls around the world through proper education and access to safe resources. So you're not just buying skincare-you're supporting global menstrual health education, which feels pretty good when you're dealing with your own skin issues.
