- From books to car parts to groceries, Amazon sells just about everything and anything.
- While shopping on the site can be overwhelming, you’ll come across a world of cool brands and unique products.
- If you’re looking to discover a new favorite skin-care or beauty brand, Amazon has some great indie beauty brands from all over the world. Here are eight of our favorites.
While Amazon first started out as an online bookstore, its goal was always to become "an everything store."
Since its launch in 1995, the e-commerce behemoth really has become the destination for just about everything. You can still find a sprawling selection of books along with electronics, household goods, automotive parts, sports collectibles, fine art, credit cards, music, and much more — the list of categories only continues to grow.
With all of these options, shopping on Amazon can be an overwhelming experience. But if you do a little searching, you can find some cool brands and great products. I just stumbled upon the indie beauty section, which stocks unique, independently-owned beauty brands. Here are eight brands with great products and missions we can really get behind.

Avarelle
Amazon
Shop acne patches, serums, and sheet masks from Avarelle
Founder James Oh started cutting up large hydrocolloid patches to help heal his pregnant wife’s pimples and scarring from hormonal acne. When he realized how well the products worked on her and how much they improved her confidence, he thought it was time to share this simple solution with the world, and so Avarelle was created.
The brand offers a spot treatment and a few different kinds of spot patches and sheet masks, all with the goal of clear skin. All of the products are free of sulfates, parabens, and other questionably toxic ingredients. Plus, the brand is cruelty-free.
Marlowe
Amazon
Shop men’s scrubs, lip balms, and more body products from Marlowe
Marlowe is a men’s skin-care line with high-quality, no-nonsense products. That means you can expect simple yet efficacious bath and body products — like deodorant, facial scrubs, and body lotion — made with clean ingredients right in the U.S.
All of Marlowe’s products contain its proprietary M Blend — a formulation of willow bark, deep sea algae, green tea, and passionflower extracts that help nourish skin. And for every Marlowe product sold, the brand donates soap to Clean the World, an organization working to help those at risk of hygiene-related illnesses.
Coco & Eve
Coco & Eve
Get the nourishing hair mask from Coco & Eve
This British brand’s Like a Virgin Hair Masque is a 5-in-1 hair mask made with five key natural ingredients — it’s also the only thing that the brand sells. (Well, except for some hair accessories like a microfiber towel.)
The mask is made with coconut, fig, shea butter, argan oil, and linseed to rejuvenate dehydrated hair in five to 10 minutes. The product helps smooth frizz, deeply conditions, boosts shine, and all around restores hair to a healthier state.
This mask has the Amazon’s Choice seal of approval with a 4.2 rating and a price of just $50.
