The Top 5 Products of Conscious Consumers in November 2019

Healthy and sustainable products are what 3.5 million users of CodeCheck focus on. These users want products that are both healthy for the body and good for the environment.

In the monthly evaluation of CodeCheck Insights, we show those products with which conscious consumers had a particularly high interaction rate with last month (scanning, searching, displaying product pages, commenting, voting, and rating) and, thus, products that attracted a lot of attention.

Prepare skin for winter: The CodeCheck community relies on a lot of care

As in October, products from the body and skincare sector again attracted interest from conscious consumers in November. All of the top 5 products came from this sector. The interest in lip care and face cream products show that the CodeCheck community wants soft skin and lips, even in winter. In addition to ingredients that are nourishing and have good efficacy, CodeCheck users also value products that are packaged in an environmentally friendly way, are free of harmful ingredients, such as pungent surfactants, and contain no palm oil.

1. BEE Natural Lip Care Pomegranate

Bee Natural Lip Balm Pomegranate intensively and naturally nourishes the lips with its pure beeswax, coconut palm oil, sunflower seed oil, castor oil, rosemary leaf oil, and pomegranate flavor.

Super ingredients and good effect.

It is very natural and does not dry out my lips anymore, but cares for them gently.

I love it, it’s really helpful, my favorite!

Some conscious consumers, however, take a negative view of the fact that this lip care product is produced abroad and, therefore, has a long delivery route (45 backings). In addition, the product is not well received by vegans because it has animal ingredients (260 backings).

2. Sebamed soap bar soap-free washing bar

Sebamed offers an alternative to liquid shower gel with this soap-free wash piece. The manufacturer promises a new, particularly skin-friendly cleansing agent.

I feel the application is good but the ingredients are a no-go, so I won't buy it again.

I use the wash piece to shower and wash my hair. My hair is wonderfully voluminous with it. It's great that it doesn't contain palm oil or aluminum and is packaged in a plastic-free way.

Great plastic-free shower gel substitute! If talc and benzophenone-4 were removed from the ingredients, it would be top. Alternatively, similar wash pieces are available under this brand in drugstores.

3. Garnier BIO Day Cream Lavender Anti-Wrinkle

The anti-wrinkle moisturizer reduces wrinkles and softens fine lines on the face.

Beautiful fragrance, soft skin, not greasy, and absorbs immediately.
Good fragrance, soft skin, productive.
Its fragrance and consistency are super. Absorbs quickly and does not become greasy. Pleasant, velvety soft skin feeling.

Like the previous top products, this product polarizes the CodeCheck community. There are negative comments such as, "My skin is allergic to the ingredients in this cream. My whole face is red, irritated, and slightly swollen," or "funny feeling on my skin. Best mixed with a good oil."

4. Alverde NATURKOSMETIK Day Cream Naturally Beautiful

Makes great skin and is great for the environment. The packaging is made of glass with a plastic lid.

Cares very well, is very rich, is absorbed well, and leaves the skin feeling beautifully soft. Clear recommendation!

Skin has a soft feeling; the cream has a pleasant scent, and it is absorbed quickly.

However, some conscious consumers complain about the unnecessary outer packaging and the plastic lid. Also, some users do not think the product is rich enough for dry skin types, although, according to the manufacturer, it should be suitable for all skin types.

5. Alterra Moisturizing Shampoo Organic Pomegranate & Organic Aloe Vera

A shampoo of the brand Alterra by Rossmann.

My hair won’t be oily so quickly after using it

I like it because it makes my hair smoother.

It’s great: my hair smells great and I hope my hair will love it long term

Some CodeCheck users disapprove of the plastic packaging. Some conscious consumers also do not like the fact that the shampoo contains the surfactant sodium coco sulfate.
