The world of clean beauty products didn’t really exist when goop started in 2008. But as we began to learn about the lack of regulation in the cosmetics industry in America, the rest of the world was waking up, too. The clean beauty space grew at the same time goop did (and, indeed, at a similar pace)—and we watched the entire category explode with wild creativity, mind-blowing technology, and a devotion to craft and luxury.

Today, a lot has changed. goop Beauty, our collection of luxurious, results-driven, clean skin care products, includes GOOPGLOW (essentials to exfoliate, smooth, and brighten for glowing, healthy-looking skin) and GOOPGENES (next-level treatments for firm, smooth, super nourished, moisturized skin, no matter your age), as well as magical baths, transformative body care, an essential dry brush, skin care you can drink, and even a detoxifying scrub shampoo studded with Himalayan salt crystals.

The number—and fabulousness—of the brands now in the goop clean beauty shop is something we couldn’t have imagined when we were just getting started, from blockbuster glossy black mascaras to the perfect your-lips-but-better lip colors. Our top sellers represent the best there is in the world of beauty—clean or otherwise. We love them, and we know you will, too.

    goop, $98/$89 with subscription

    Remarkably silky and gentle on skin despite its high-strength ingredients, this overnight treatment works hard—targeting skin tone, uneven texture, wrinkles, dullness, spots, and clogged pores—and delivers powerful results. A 10% multiacid blend mixes with a “desert milk” complex made with soothing, moisturizing extracts of Kalahari melon, jojoba, and aloe for serious exfoliating and resurfacing that comforts skin at the same time. Smooth it on before bed and wake up with your softest, smoothest skin ever.

    goop, $20

    You won’t believe how good this ultraluxe hydrating mascara is until you see the glossy, fluttery, inky-black results for yourself. A single coat gives you natural yet super defined you-but-better lashes; the curved triple-wave wand pulls the stretchy, blackest-black formula up and out for a gorgeous lift. Use the inner wave of the dual-sided brush for volume, and the longer bristles to lengthen and define for a beautiful, wide-awake finish.

    Famous for delivering results for practically every skin type in existence (the breakout-prone rave about it as avidly as the dry-skinned and wrinkle-prone do), this wildly luxurious oil serum deserves all the hype it gets. The magic is in the groundbreaking formula of organic botanicals, essential oils, phytonutrients, minerals, phytoceramides, nourishing fatty acids, and antioxidants. It sinks in beautifully, smells absolutely gorgeous, and leaves anyone’s skin smooth and glowy.

    goop, $75

We especially love this goop-exclusive shade—a tawny rose-pink flecked with shimmery gold—inspired by the glowy freshness of GP’s sun-kissed skin. It’s ultraflattering on eyes, brow bones, cheekbones, lips, and even your collarbone—anywhere you need a little lift.

    goop Beauty GOOPGLOW 20% Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid Glow Serum

    goop, $125/$112 with subscription

    Two skin-care powerhouses, L-ascorbic acid (the purest, best-for-skin form of the antioxidant vitamin C) and moisturizing hyaluronic acid, work together in this daily serum to help improve skin’s brightness, firmness, tone, texture, and hydration. The clinical results—after one use, 100 percent of women showed a dramatic improvement in skin hydration, and after four weeks of twice-daily use, 90 percent said their skin looked and felt brighter—are outstanding, but we predict the comments you’ll receive from people on your skin will be even better.*
