Sourcing, storytelling and safe cosmetics advocacy reigned supreme at Expo West 2016. But a commitment to transparency wasn’t the only statement our favorite natural beauty brands made at the show.

Companies successfully brought mass market and international beauty innovation to the natural space, satisfying a need for convenience and performance (biodegradable paper facial masks, anyone?). Contemporizing ancient beauty practices, such as aromatherapy and other uses for essential oils, also proved to be a strong trend.
