Cult-classic products made in the land of stars and stripes.
Products made with input from an online beauty community and a “no-makeup” makeup aesthetic are at Glossier’s core. Beauty staples like Boy Brow and Balm Dotcom are well-loved for more than their clever names and packaging — a bevy of online reviewers rave about their efficacy too. And every product is manufactured in America.
Memorable makeup formulated in the Big Apple.
Milk Makeup has garnered a slew of beauty awards from media outfits like Teen Vogue and InStyle. And with innovative bestsellers like its Kush Mascara and Holographic Stick, it’s not hard to see why this brand’s highly sought after at retailers like Sephora. Covet the brand’s beauty game changers in good conscience, since everything is made at Milk Studios in downtown NYC.
Clean hair thanks to simple, ethically-sourced ingredients.
Free of common haircare offenders like sulfates, parabens and silicones, Briogeo notes the percentage and sourcing of each ingredient in its product lineup. Its formulas are cruelty-free and mostly vegan, and it’s one of a growing number of beauty brands to do its manufacturing right here in the USA.
Non-toxic polishes in every color of the rainbow, including red, white and blue.
If you’re looking for a non-toxic nail polish for yourself or your kids, Piggy Paint offers water-based paints in fun, vibrant colors. And each one is manufactured in the USA. We love that nail paints are odorless, cruelty-free and vegan.
You can find a large selection of made-in-the-USA beauty products at major retailers like:
Not necessarily. American-made beauty products come in a variety of price ranges, much like other products. You can find less expensive options that are available in many drug stores, as well as higher-end products in salons and boutiques.
Bottom line? Just because it’s made in America doesn’t mean it’s more expensive.
Check the product description or FAQ page for the brand you’re interested in. Most brands will note where a product is made on the product description — though it might simply be labeled as “imported” if it’s made outside the US. If you can’t find this information on the brand’s website, contact the company directly to inquire about a specific item.
Keep in mind if you find out from a brand that it makes its products here, but that fact is not widely advertised across its site, it’s possible its packaging contains imported materials. Some brands make their products in the US but use bottles or other supplies manufactured overseas.
The FTC Made in USA standard maintains a product must be “all or virtually all” made in the USA to receive the designation. Some brands will use language like they are “based in the United States” but will not explicitly say its products are made in the USA to comply with the FTC.
