Top 10 Natural Skin Care Ingredients For Healthy Skin

When it comes to glowing skin, nature has always known best. And now, with many people turning away from harsh chemicals toward more clean, conscious beauty, natural ingredients are gaining even more popularity. And this is for good reason. They’re gentle and packed with skin-loving ingredients.

Here’s the top 10 natural skincare ingredients to look for and why they should be part of your family's skin care routine.

What Are the Top 10 Natural Skin Care Ingredients?

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a soothing plant with hydrating and healing properties. It’s super moisturising and helps keep the skin soft and hydrated without giving that greasy feel. It’s packed with vitamins E, C and A, so especially helpful after a day in the Australian sun because aloe vera soothes sunburns, reduces inflammation and helps in the healing process of your skin.

Tea Tree Oil

Struggling with acne problems? We’ve all been there. Luckily, tea tree oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help with cleansing your pores and treating your acne without drying out the skin. Tea tree oil also helps to reduce redness and clear blemishes.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is an amazing moisturiser suitable for people with all skin types, from dry to oily. This is because jojoba oil is very similar to the natural oils that your skin produces. Plus, it also adds a dose of antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental damage.

Looking for sun protection with skin benefits from a natural sunscreen? Check out The Base Collective Tinted Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen with jojoba oil—it hydrates, protects, and gives a gorgeous glow.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is full of fatty acids and vitamins A and E. It is a fantastic moisturiser for dry skin that deeply nourishes the skin and is perfect to be used on dry as well as sensitive skin. Besides hydration, it also improves the elasticity of your skin, reduces stretch marks and the appearance of scars.

Shea butter is the hero ingredient in The Base Collective Magnesium and White Tea Body Balm. This is a deeply nourishing formula, so it can soothe and restore dry and stressed skin.

Rosehip Oil

If you’re someone struggling with hyperpigmentation or fine lines, consider adding rosehip oil to your self care routine. Extracted from the seeds of wild rose bushes, it is rich in essential fatty acids and is famous for brightening the skin and evening the skin tone. So, it’s no wonder that it is an anti-ageing skincare favourite.

Coconut Oil

This is one of the most underrated natural ingredients in skin care. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins. It’s super moisturising, heals dry skin and reduces wrinkles while its natural antibacterial properties make it great for calming breakouts or irritation. So, basically, coconut oil does it all.

Witch Hazel

Because it balances the skin’s oil production, witch hazel can be used to treat acne, eczema and psoriasis. Besides reducing inflammation and soothing irritation, it functions as an astringent that tightens the skin. And thanks to its antioxidant properties, your skin will also be protected from environmental stressors.

Avocado Oil

Avocado is not just for toast! It is packed with vitamins A, D, and E, plus essential fatty acids that moisturise deeply and support collagen production, thereby reducing wrinkles and fine lines.

You’ll love it in The Base Collective Magnesium White Tea Hand & Body Wash, where avocado oil teams up with aloe and white tea to leave your skin soft and nourished.

Chamomile

Just like witch hazel, chamomile is also great for treating eczema and psoriasis. This gentle ingredient has antioxidants that reduce inflammation, redness and puffiness.

For a soothing touch, try The Base Collective Beauty Sleep Balm, where chamomile and lavender work together to calm your skin before bed. When applied, you’ll find relief from itching and irritation.

Vitamin C

Brightening, firming, and protective, vitamin C is a true powerhouse. It boosts collagen production, fades dark spots, and helps fight damage from pollution and the sun, leaving your skin looking fresh and radiant.

What Do These Ingredients Do for Your Skin?

Each of the natural ingredients we discussed above brings something special to your skin care routine. Here’s what they can do.

Moisturising

Many of these natural ingredients, like aloe vera, jojoba oil and coconut oil, are moisturisers in themselves, which is key to a healthy and glowing complexion.

Anti-Inflammatory

Tea tree oil, chamomile and witch hazel are anti-inflammatory, so they calm and soothe the skin, reducing redness, puffiness and irritation.

Anti-Aging

Vitamin C, rosehip oil and avocado oil are best known for their anti-ageing properties. They help reduce wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen and prevent signs of ageing by protecting the skin from free radical damage.

Acne-Fighting

The antibacterial properties of witch hazel and tea tree oil prevent acne-causing bacteria from growing, keeping the skin clear and free of blemishes.

Brightening

Vitamin C and rosehip oil are brightening agents. They reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, giving the skin a youthful glow.

Soothing

Since they don’t contain any harsh chemicals, natural skin care ingredients help calm sensitive or inflamed skin. For instance, coconut oil, chamomile and aloe vera may offer a soothing sensation for people with conditions like eczema or sunburn. 

Nourishing

Avocado oil, jojoba oil and shea butter promote healthy skin renewal and long-lasting moisture by hydrating and repairing the skin.

Antioxidant Rich

By protecting the skin from environmental stressors, rosehip oil, vitamin C and avocado oil help in keeping the skin youthful and glowing.

Hydrating

Aloe vera, coconut oil and avocado oil are all hydrators that help the skin retain moisture and stay soft and supple.

Supports Collagen Production

By stimulating the collagen production, vitamin C and rosehip oil keep the skin firm and elastic. You’ll get a young look with less sagging and fine lines.
