Men
Here at Let Me See The Label, I wanted to create a safe, welcoming space for men just as I did for women. I have a big male presence in my life — friends, family, and the men who’ve supported this journey from the beginning — and they all asked for a dedicated Men’s Section. So cheers to the men in my life… this one’s for you.
Start by swapping out a few everyday products to help you feel confident in your skin. The items below have been carefully selected, tested, and approved — and they work for all skin types, races, and ages. They’re affordable, sustainable, allergy‑friendly, travel‑friendly, and quick to apply. Clean grooming doesn’t have to be complicated.
Enjoy — and welcome to the clean side.

Face
Simple, effective, and clean — these face care essentials are designed to fit any routine, any skin type, and any lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with breakouts, dryness, irritation from shaving, or just want healthier skin without the fuss, these products are easy swaps that make a real difference
Blemish Clearing Cleanser-Face wash - A balanced, acne‑clearing face wash that keeps your skin clean without stripping it. Perfect for men who want clearer skin for Instagram photos, Zoom calls, or online video dates — no filters required.
The Ordinary – A powerful, affordable kit for congested or oily skin. Includes:
• Squalane Cleanser for gentle daily cleansing
• Salicylic Acid 2% Masque for blackheads and buildup
• Niacinamide + Zinc to reduce shine and minimize pores
• Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA for lightweight hydration
Easy, effective, and perfect for men who want results with minimal effort.
Oil Free Moisturizer- Oil free Lightweight moisturizer - A Lightweight, fast‑absorbing, and ideal for daily use. This is the kind of moisturizer you can apply and immediately move on with your day — no shine, no residue, no heaviness.
Carina Organics- Lightweight moisturizer- A fragrance‑free, low‑key option for men who want something simple and clean. Gentle, lightweight, and great for sensitive skin or anyone who prefers a minimal routine.
Cocokind - Mymatcha Stick- A versatile essential for dry spots, winter skin, or everyday lip care. Easy to travel with, affordable, and incredibly practical. Use it on dry patches, chapped lips, or anywhere that needs quick moisture.
Toner - This toner worked beautifully on my combination/sensitive skin and on my partner’s oily‑to‑dry skin. Adding a toner helps balance the skin, especially for athletes or active men who tend to get breakouts along the hairline from sweat and friction.
Aftershave and Beard Oil- Shaving often leads to nicks, bumps, and irritation — but this oil helps calm all of it. My partner reaches for this more than any traditional aftershave. It reduces ingrown hairs, acne, and scarring, and works for all skin types.
Bonus: in the winter, it doubles as a fast‑absorbing moisturizer. No greasy residue, no shine — just healthy, soothed skin.
Body Wash, Shaving and More
Simple, effective, and clean — these body care essentials keep your skin fresh, balanced, and comfortable without unnecessary chemicals. Whether you prefer bar soap, liquid wash, or multi‑use products, these options are reliable, affordable, and men‑approved.
Saje Natural Wellness- Saje offers several scents, but our household favorites are Tingle Mint or Liquid Sunshine. You can choose between a classic soap bar, foam mousse, or a soap bar wrapped in a jute bag depending on your routine. This brand uses very clean ingredients, refreshing scents, and is a great everyday swap.
Ocean Bottom Soap- These handcrafted soap blends are a huge hit in our home. Scents like Activated Black Charcoal, Avocado, Carrot, Eucalyptus, and Tree Hugger are incredibly high‑quality — and once you try them, it’s hard to go back to anything else. Rich lather, clean ingredients, and long‑lasting bars.
Dr. Bronners- Castile Soap (unscented baby)-A clean‑beauty classic you can find almost anywhere. It’s extremely versatile — use it as body wash, hand soap, or even for cleaning your shaving tools. I personally use it to clean my makeup brushes because it’s gentle and cost‑effective.
Alaffia- Unscented/Lavender/Coconut- This brand ranks fair on the Think Dirty app and offers great value for the size. Just note: the coconut‑based formula may not be ideal for acne‑prone skin. I used this body wash early on mainly for shaving because you get a lot of product for your money, and it creates a smooth glide for razors.
Shampoo and Conditioner
100% Pure -A lightweight formula suitable for all hair types. The scent is simple and neutral — perfect for anyone sensitive to fragrance or looking for a gender‑neutral option. Both sizes are great because the whole family can use this clean, gentle formula.
Carina Organics- Try the Peppermint Shampoo for a cooling effect and dandruff control, then pair it with their Deep Treatment Conditioner in any scent. I personally use the deep treatment instead of the daily conditioner for extra moisture — it makes styling so much easier.
They offer a wide range of scents, it’s affordable, and it’s organic. My favourites are Sweet Pea and Citrus, depending on the season.Rahua- I ordered the classic version, and my first impression was the woodsy, earthy scent — but don’t worry, they offer lighter options too. The classic formula is clarifying and works well between seasons, especially if you deal with dandruff or scalp imbalances.
As always, check the label for any allergies, even with organic brands.True Botanicals- A high‑end, celebrity‑loved clean beauty brand. I finally purchased the shampoo and conditioner bundle, and just like the other brands listed, it’s highly rated for its clean, nourishing ingredients.
Deodorant
Finding the right clean deodorant is definitely a trial‑and‑error journey — just like every other clean beauty category. Over time, I’ve found reliable options for both men and women that actually perform.
Tip: When transitioning from conventional deodorant to non‑toxic formulas, consider doing an armpit detox to help your body adjust.
ThinkSport - With scents like Bergamot and Cedarwood its a balanced scent and a gel‑like texture that applies easily. As a former athlete, I can confidently say it lives up to its performance claims.
Note: This formula contains baking soda. If you have sensitive skin, patch‑test first
Pretty Frank - The brand recently updated its name and packaging, but the formulas remain the same — especially the baking‑soda line, which includes scents like sandalwood and unscented, both of which my partner used this year.
They also launched a baking‑soda‑free line that I’m excited to try next. The texture is creamy, smooth, and easy to apply.
Rustic Maka - A Michigan‑based, women‑owned company — and one of the cleanest deodorant brands I’ve found. Their formulas are smooth, gentle, and ideal for sensitive skin.
Scents I’ve tried and loved:
• Calming Fields (Baking Soda Free)
• Lemongrass Gardens (Baking Soda Free)
• Take a Hike
Their deodorants smell amazing, work well, and are some of the most affordable clean options available.
Canada Note: If you’re looking for Rustic Maka in Canada, you can find it at theorganicbunny.com.
Body Spray/Cologne
Sam Soulutions- This bold body spray from Sam Soulutions only has a few ingredients, which makes it ideal for consumers looking healthier alternatives. This body spray is the perfect swap if you are still using conventional name brands, well not anymore!!!
Acqua Mirabile Odorosa – “Futura” (Made in Italy)
The specific mens cologne I purchased from this line is called Futura, a sophisticated Italian fragrance crafted for men who appreciate depth, longevity, and modern elegance. Futura opens with bright notes of lime, bergamot, pink pepper, and apple, followed by soft floral touches of magnolia and bergamot flowers, and settles into a warm base of synthetic musk and patchouly.
It’s a refined, contemporary scent with an old‑world Italian touch — perfect for men who want something unique, elevated, and long‑lasting.

Cleaner alternatives for Condoms- Yes even condoms need to be healthy! Listen up guys it’s 2020 and women are paying attention to what kind of condom you buy because we care about our vagina health!

Lovability- I love finding healthier condoms for you all! These condoms can be purchased online and shipped to residents in the United States or Canada!
Good Clean Love - “Almost naked”-Organic Lubricant is great!
Honey Pot- Another option but I have not personally tried it. Just another brand I have seen in passing and has cleaner ingredients then the highly marketed brands.
Cocokind-Calming Powder- Women can use this powder for dry shampoo and men can use this powder to reduce moisture in the summer months. You know what I am talking about!
