Founder of AILLEA, Kathryn Dickinson, Shares Her 5 Favorite Clean Beauty Products For Summer
Kathryn Dickinson is a long-time executive in the beauty industry, Dickinson has worked with some of the most successful beauty and fashion brands in the world. Driven to clean beauty out of necessity when she developed severe allergies herself later in life, she was shocked to find the amount of green washing and poor performing products in the beauty industry. Realizing she needed to become the industry expert in safe ingredients with effective and high-performing products, Dickinson has now spent years doing extensive research on ingredients, regulations, and brands. After thorough vetting, Dickinson finally found products that met her lofty standards on all fronts and started AILLEA, now considered the gold standard of curated clean beauty. Here are Kathryn’s five favorite clean beauty products for summer.
ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40: This is probably the hottest product at AILLEA right now and is PERFECT for summer. Light to medium coverage, flawless glowing finish and SPF 40! What more could you ask for?
Vapour Aura Multi Stick in Intrigue: This newly-launched shade is stunning. It's the most beautiful warm, peachy/pink, sun-kissed shade of blush.
Osmia Purely Gentle Mud Cleanser: All of the sweat, dust and makeup can make summer the hardest time for my skin. This magical cleanser detoxifies my skin while leaving it so incredibly soft. Added bonus - Osmia is a local, Colorado-based company!
One Love Organics Gardenia + Tea Antioxidant Body Serum: The gardenia/floral scent of this body oil embodies summer to me. I also love the spray applicator - no goopy mess, just the perfect light mist of body oil. Pro tip: Use your moisturizer when your skin is still wet, straight out of the shower, it helps to lock in the moisture.
Rahua Hydration Detangler + UV Barrier: I love this detangler! It helps keep my hair hydrated in the arid Colorado weather, and the added bonus of the UV barrier to help protect my color is fantastic since I spend so much time outdoors in the summer. And it smells like passion fruit and mango!
