11 Clean, Natural Lipsticks That Feel Like Silk & Dress Your Pout With Rich Color


Call us biased, but when it comes to the creamiest high-quality lipsticks, we believe clean and natural options are stealing the show.
Not only are they formulated with nourishing, good-for-skin ingredients, but the lippies are just as showstopping as their traditional counterparts.
Essentially: They are so, so good. You can slide on a velvety shade and trust that your lips won't wither up midday—because nothing is more annoying than a feathering lipstick.
We should note: The products below all have naturally derived and clean ingredients—for example, fruit pigments to create a rich color payoff as opposed to artificial dyes—but they aren't necessarily 100% organic. They are, however, 100% worth a buy.
Check out our lipstick picks, and find your shade of shimmery coral, intense crimson, or vampy oxblood—we simply adore them all.
Axiology Multi-Sticks
Coconut oil, castor oil, avocado butter, and grapeseed oil make this creamy lippie extra smooth and pillowy. It's formulated with rich, high-impact pigments (just check out this bright fuchsia number), and leaves you with a vivid, never caky hue.

Westman Atelier Lip Suede
Why stick to one lipstick? This lip palette contains a group of four romantic rosy hues you can either wear alone or swirl together to create a customizable color. (Or, since the compact itself is so dang pretty, you may want to keep the pan as pristine as possible—that's fine, too!)

Y et Beauté Edie
This high-quality formula is jam-packed with nourishing players, like sweet almond oil, moringa seed oil, jojoba oil, and cranberry seed oil. And the color? A complex shade of violet.

Beautycounter Color Intense Lipstick
Every beauty fan needs their go-to shade of red—am I wrong? And Beautycounter's velvety formula is a classic grab for many of those in the know: Jojoba oil and castor oil help it glide on effortlessly, while peppermint oil keeps it lightweight and fresh. The color, an intense crimson, simply can't be beaten.

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Cocoa Butter Matte Lipstick
A dream for thirsty pouts everywhere: This blend of cocoa and shea butters condition the lips with a single glide.
