About
Hi, I'm Maya.
Clean beauty writer, ingredient nerd, and firm believer that you shouldn't need a chemistry degree to understand what's in your moisturizer.
I started Natural Beauty Finds because I was tired of "natural" products that weren't, review sites that were obviously paid placements, and ingredient lists that required a magnifying glass and a PhD to decode.
What I do here
I test products. I read ingredient lists. I research the science behind what actually works on skin versus what just sounds good on a label. Then I write about it. Honestly.
Every product review on this site is based on real testing. I buy most products myself. When a brand sends me something to try, I'll tell you. And my opinion doesn't change based on who sent it.
What I look for
- Ingredient integrity. Short ingredient lists, traceable sourcing, no greenwashing.
- Small-batch and founder-led brands. The people behind the products matter.
- Formulations that work. Natural doesn't mean ineffective, but not everything natural works.
- Honest pricing. Good skincare shouldn't require a second mortgage.
