The 8 Best Natural and Organic Concealers for Dark Circles

Concealer is an absolute must for me and has been since I was in my teens. I now use my concealer most often for my dark circles but in early years I had more acne that I needed help keeping unwraps. Since I am wearing my make-up for typically 6-19 hours a day it is really important to me that I am putting safe organic high-quality products on my skin. In this article I am sharing with you a list of the best natural and organic concealers for dark circles that have great ratings, company details, and product details.

A note on organic beauty products; unfortunately finding products that use only organic ingredients is extremely unlikely due to the fact almost every brand will use some kind of lab made material that cannot be labeled organic. For me personally it is more important that my products use safe, non-toxic ingredients than all organic ingredients. On this list I focused on the best natural concealers that use organic ingredients and label themselves as organic. I did cross check all products with ewg.org and skincarisma.com to verify they were indeed non-toxic.

What is the best organic concealer for dark circles?

RMS has been producing organic beauty products with natural ingredients for 11 years. The main ingredients are Coconut Oil, Castor Seed Oil, Beeswax, Cocoa Seed Butter, Jojoba Oil, Tocopherol (non-GMO), Rosemary Extract. They also use recycled packaging and green manufacturing to make their products good for the earth too!

W3LL People is an all around great company. They have a list of over 1700 ingredients they will not use in their products, they work with fair-trade facilities and are researching ways to continue to make their packaging more environmentally friendly. They are also vegan and cruelty free to make them truly “clean.”

Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Perfecting Concealer 

Juice Beauty was founded in 2005 and is committed to creating non-toxic organic products that perform well in clinical tests proving their effectiveness. The company mentions sustainability, vegan and cruelty products but doesn’t go into detail on those practices. 

Ilia- True Skin Serum Concealer

Ilia was founded in 2011 and is a well-rounded company focusing on safe non-toxic beauty products and sustainable packaging and practices. They have a make-up recycling program where you can mail back empty bottles, even if they are from another brand! They are also committed to sustainability and have an initiative where 1% of sales from their super serum go to planting trees in the rainforest!

100 Percent Pure

100% Pure has been around since 2004 creating some of my absolute favorite products. In terms of natural, commercial beauty products I personally do not feel this brand can be beat. When you look at their ingredients list you can instantly recognize about 95% of the products listed on their labels which isn’t always the case with other brands. They strive to make their products as natural as possible and work towards sustainability. I found this brand many years ago while I was in college and feel it still provides phenomenal coverage, even as my skin ages.

Han Skincare is all about non-toxic, sustainable and cruelty free beauty products. They have a list of over 2700 ingredients they do not allow in their products, use recycled packaging for their products and ensure their entire line is vegan. 

Kosas-Revealer Concealer

Kosas is my favorite organic concealer for dark circles and other eye issues. This brand puts clean beauty and ingredients at the forefront of their products. They have a huge emphasis on clinically backed products that show actual scientific results on skin through lab testing. They also are big on putting ingredients that are actually good for your skin and can improve it as you use it in the long run. They also offer sustainable packaging and practices which makes them a win, win, win!

Inika is another truly great clean beauty company. They focus on organic ingredients when possible and note them on their label. They have numerous certifications for organic ingredients, vegan products and earth friendly practices. Their packaging is recyclable and they are making huge strides in using less plastic and new plastic in their products.

How is concealer used?

Concealer is essentially like a foundation on steroids, it is hyper-pigmented to provide heavy duty coverage for problem areas of the skin. It can help correct uneven skin tone, skin scarring, dark circles, dark spots, age spots, and act as a highlighter when contouring your face.

Concealer can be used in a variety of ways. For this article we focused on the eye area and specifically the dark circles or area under the eye. Each of these concealers can be considered an eye concealer.

Concealer can also be used all over the face if needed. It can be used to conceal any kind of marks, discolorations or other skin issues on the face or body. A little concealer goes a long way so the small amount you receive should last a long time if used correctly.

Almost all concealers are cream concealer or considered creamy concealer because of the nature of what they are used for. There is also liquid concealer which is so similar to cream I’m not sure it’s worth the difference unless you’re a beauty guru.

Why do you list more than one concealer option?

I like to give my readers options to choose what works best for them. I cover many options so you can choose the best concealers for you skin. Some people have sensitive skin that requires more gentle ingredients than other skin types. Others may have dry skin or oily skin that needs specific ingredients for their skin.

I also included multiple companies because some had a limited shade range that may not be the perfect match for everyone. Along with shade, the finish can be a big factor, if you’re layering you may want a matte finish versus a natural finish if you’re putting just the concealer on.

We are also all looking for different coverage options and finishes. I have young children who are terrible sleepers so light coverage is not for me, I need full-coverage concealer to avoid looking like a I’ve pulled an all-nighter for the last 2345 nights.

What is wrong with traditional concealers?

Traditional concealers often contain synthetic chemicals that can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or even health issues. Some of the most common ingredients in conventional concealers that cause the most concern are, parabens, fragrances, formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, phthalates, and sulfates.

Parabens are preservatives that may mimic estrogen and disrupt hormone balance.

Synthetic fragrances can trigger allergies or respiratory issues for some.

Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.

Phthalates have been linked to reproductive and developmental issues in animal studies.

Sulfates are surfactants often used to create lather or foam in cosmetics. They can actually build up in your body with long-term use which is terrifying!

Talc is a mineral that is commonly used as an absorbent in cosmetics, but it has been linked to respiratory issues and cancer when inhaled over a long period, which is obviously concerning with make-up that you’re putting very close to your mouth.
