Brands infused their richest hair and skin care products with the natural ingredient, and before you knew it, you were slathering the stuff on from head to toe. Cocovít recognizes the beauty benefits of coconut oil and bottles a 100% raw, organic formula sourced from South India. Try the original Cocovít Coconut Oil, or any one of their products, which all contain the signature ingredient.

Recognize the last name initial? Founder of the eponymous polish brand, Lauren B.'s knack for beauty doesn't fall far from the tree. With hair guru Philip B. for an uncle, it was only natural for Lauren to turn her love for nail polish into a brand. The L.A.-based entrepreneur has created a range of vegan-friendly lacquers inspired by the Southern California region. We like Ivy at the Shore.

During a trip to a salmon hatchery in Norway, skin care veteran Patti Pao made a revolutionary discovery when she found that during the hatching process, salmon eggs release a natural enzyme with powerful anti-aging properties. The enzyme, now called Aquabeautine XL, is present throughout RestorSea's range of skin care products and works in tandem with other rich ingredients to smooth, brighten, and rejuvenate skin. This one's infused with 24-karat gold flakes! 24kt Liquid Gold Face Oil with Vibransea Complex.
