Once upon a time, finding cruelty-free, clean, and natural haircare, makeup, and skincare products meant making a trip to a healthfood store. Thankfully that's no longer the case.

With more information at your fingertips about what goes into your beauty products than before, you might be interested in switching to cruelty-free, non-toxic formulas that leave certain ingredients out. (Unsure about any ingredients in particular? The Environmental Working Group's cosmetics database is a good place to start.) Thanks to the demand from beauty shoppers who give a damn, there are more clean product options than ever — and that includes on the shelves of your favorite drugstore.

Whether you're trying to reduce waste by using shampoo that comes in a bottle made from post-consumer recyclable materials or a natural mascara that doesn't smudge or get runny, there are plenty of affordable clean options out there.

Ahead, a rundown of the best affordable cruelty-free, clean, and non-toxic beauty products you can find at the drugstore.

This cult favorite multi-purpose cream is super thick, moisturizing, and its formula is certified natural by The International Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association (NATRUE). Slather it on your face, or any rough spots that need extra hydration like your elbows or hands, because unlike many thick creams, it leaves skin glowy, not greasy.

Natural mascaras have a bad reputation for flaking and smudging — but W3LL PEOPLE's cult-favorite formula is the exception. Thanks to hyper-pure mineral pigments, it has the same jet black finish as any other mascara. While the ingredients speak for themselves, the mascara is also verified by the Environmental Working Group for non-toxic health and safety.

Ah, powder bronzers. Many help you achieve that elusive lit-from-within glow, but other formulas can look chalky and uneven. That's why Physician's Formula infused its mineral-based bronzer with Murumuru butter, a nourishing plant-derived ingredient that hydrates and melts into skin for a seamless, radiant finish. Plus, it comes in four shades that work across a number of skin tones.

Love Beauty & Planet Murumuru Butter & Rose Blooming Color Shampoo

To shop: $28; amazon.com

The MO of this drugstore hair and bodycare brand is to keep its carbon footprint as small as possible. And this shampoo for color-treated hair does just that: its bottle is made from 100% recycled materials and it's also formulated with ethically-sourced oils and extracts.

Pacifica Alight Clean Foundation
