How to DIY All 6 Products in Goop’s $655 Organic Skin Care Line

The average woman spends $15,000 on beauty products over her lifetime. But Gwyneth Paltrow? Reportedly $21,000 … each month.

Hey, we admire GP’s outspoken commitment to letting only clean, safe, organic ingredients touch her skin. Because of her influence, millions of people around the world think twice about buying conventional products filled with harmful, endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the name of saving money—and that’s definitely something to commend.

But when GP’s aspirational brand Goop released its new skin care line—featuring six products with a combined price tag of $655—we wondered how we’d ever be able to afford that “Goop glow.” Fortunately, a glance at the incredible, (mostly) edible ingredients restored our hope. Sweet almond oil, olive oil, shea butter, aloe juice, lavender oil—it all reads like a Thrive Market shopping list.

So here’s how you can DIY all six: cleanser, exfoliating facial, face oil, day moisturizer, night cream, and eye cream. They may not be exact carbon copies of GP’s posh offerings (e.g., for the sake of simplifying, we’re skipping a few harder-to-find ingredients like sweet iris and daffodil extracts), but trust us—they’re every bit as as clean and luxurious for your skin.

Shopping list

Here’s what you’ll need. Every ingredient, with the exception of yogurt, is vegan; and most are organic, aside from the few noted with an asterisk (*). It goes without saying, but opt for organic when shopping for the fresh ingredients—your skin absorbs everything you put on it.

Carrier oils

What they do: Provide moisture and antioxidants while also cleansing dirt and impurities.

• Sweet almond oil*
• Olive oil
• Coconut oil
• Sunflower seed oil
• Jojoba oil*
• Grapeseed oil
• Avocado oil
• Apricot oil*
• Macadamia nut oil

Cream bases

What they do: Give product creamy texture and moisturize skin. Yogurt subs in for lactic acid, which boasts acne-fighting zinc and helps dissolve dead skin cells.

• Shea butter*
• Cacao butter
• Plain, full-fat yogurt

Essential oils

What they do: Add lovely, natural scents, antioxidants, and in some cases, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

• Bergamot oil
• Lavender oil
• Lemon oil
• Geranium oil

Juices and fruits

What they do: Give an antioxidant boost—particularly vitamin C, which has anti-aging and brightening effects.

• Aloe juice (Note: we recommend one made with lemon juice, like this)
• Grape juice
• Apple juice
• Dried blueberries, crushed
• Orange zest
• Lemon zest

Humectants

What they do: Attract and retain moisture. Cane sugar also has natural glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates and encourages cell turnover.

• Vegetable glycerin
• Cane sugar
• Maple syrup
