In today’s article, I’m sharing the best anti-aging organic skincare brands and skincare routines for your 30s, 40s and beyond. The best organic skincare brands that know how to target signs of aging understand that mature skin needs both clinically proven, advanced actives and potent plant ingredients.

Which organic & natural skincare brands can you trust to really tackle serious aging concerns like wrinkles, sun damage and age spots? Some of my favorite organic skin care brands for anti aging include Luzern Labs, Herbal Face Food, Amala Beauty, Marie Veronique and Bluh Alchemy. They make some of the most advanced clean skin care products that you want to incorporate into your routine in your 30s to slow down aging and 40s to fight aging.

Best Anti Aging Ingredients to Use by your 40s

You want to look for brightening, reparative and firming actives if you want to build a good anti-aging routine in your 30s, 40s and 50s:

• Retinol: Retinol is the most powerful anti-aging ingredient you can use hands down. It speeds up cell turnover and fights wrinkles. Look for clean BHT-free retinol like the one Mara Retinol Algae Face Oil contains. You could probably get away with using plant alternatives for retinol in your 30s, but by your 40s you want to consider using real retinol.
• Vitamin C: Feeding your skin antioxidants is like giving your skin armor for the day to protect itself. Oxidative damage, which comes from the sun, environment and daily life, is what causes our skin to age. Antioxidants. are vital to an effective anti-aging skin routine and Vitamin C is one of the best antioxidants you can use every morning. My favorite is L-Ascorbic Acid along with powerful plant ingredients high in natural Vitamin C. The best natural sources of vitamin C for skin include Kakadu Plum and Camu Camu.
• Astaxanthin: I recommend astaxanthin be part of your anti-aging routine by your 40s. Research shows that astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature and 6000 times stronger than vitamin C.
• Peptides: Peptides are small proteins that can penetrate the skin and smooth out wrinkles. These are great to introduce to your skincare routine in your 30s. One of the strongest peptides for skin is Epidermal growth factor (EGF), which is something you definitely want to consider using in your 40s and 50s.
• Resurfacing acids: Start incorporating acids like azelaic acid to help remove dead skin cells and fix uneven skin tone. Acids help revitalise dull skin by bringing fresh, new skin up to the surface. As we enter our 30s and 40s, our skin becomes slower at renewing itself.

Remember that a face serum is much more important than a face moisturizer when it comes to reversing damage and fighting signs of aging. You should splurge on a face serum, but never a moisturizer, if you needed to pick between the two. The reason is face serums are formulated to penetrate deep into skin cells, while a moisturizer is formulated to act as a protective layer that sits on top of your skin.

Read on for my favorite organic skincare products for anti aging in your 30s and 40s (and beyond). Further down this article, I’m sharing an anti aging skincare routine for every decade that includes natural skincare products only.

Best Organic Skin Care for Anti Aging

Bluh Alchemy

Bluh Alchemy makes really strong anti-aging organic skincare using incredibly advanced bioactive ingredients. Each product in this smaller, more focused skincare line is an advanced treatment in itself. They are the only skincare brand to use a specific cellular extraction process that makes their products so powerful. Bluh Alchemy’s Botanic Retinol is of the strongest natural retinol alternative products you can buy. I love their Nocturnal Repair Active Emulsion as a nighttime moisturizer and their Multi C Serum as a daytime antioxidant serum. This line is also potent enough to help with healing more serious skin conditions.

Luzern Serum Absolut V15 Vitamin C

I consider Luzer’s V15 Serum to be the holy grail clean beauty dupe to Skinceuticals C E Ferulic. This is one of, if not the most, potent Vitamin C serums in natural skincare that I’ve experienced, and while it retails for $215 it comes in a 2 oz bottle, double the size of most Vitamin C serums. Use a Vitamin C serum in your morning skincare routine every single day. If you are in your 40s or 50s and want a powerful anti-aging skincare routine with organic ingredients, Luzern Laboratories is my top recommendation.

Herbal Face Food

I would only recommend Herbal Face Food if you need extreme correction for uneven skin tone, blemishes and hyperpigmentation. Herbal Face Food serums are multi-correctional and target ten signs of aging notably sun damage, dullness and texture in my experience. 100% organic and made entirely from plants without filler ingredients, the Herbal Face Food serums are VERY powerful and have increasing levels of concentration to suit your skincare needs.

 

Marie Veronique Serums

I recommend Marie Veronique’s serums, especially their retinol products. Marie-Veronique Nadeau is a chemist (and trained esthetician) who founded Marie Veronique back in 2002 and collaborates with her daughter, Jay Nadeau, physicist and bio-medical engineer, to carefully choose each ingredient to address the causes of aging at the source.

Maya Chia Beauty

Maya Chia Beauty offers a clean skincare line of advanced formulas that target mature and aging skin. If your skin is in need of serious tightening, lifting and smoothing, look into Maya Chia’s hero products.

Odacite

If you’re in need of anti-aging but you ALSO suffer from breakouts or adult acne, then I recommend Odacite. Specifically their Black Mint Charcoal + Rhassoul Clarifying Cleanser, a super potent cleanser powered by Activated Charcoal, Rhassoul Clay, Apple Amino Acids, Tea Tree, Peppermint and more. The Odacite Black Cumin Cajeput Serum Concentrate is also a must for breakouts and will also deeply moisturize without drying out your skin.

Le Prunier Plumscreen

You will either love or hate Le Prunier Plumscreen – no in between! The Le Prunier Plumscreen is an eco-luxe sunscreen product, BUT I find it to be an amazing daytime moisturizer with secondary sun protection benefits. I would not consider this an outdoor sunscreen, I repeat, this is not an outdoor sunscreen. The consistency is unique and refined, which is why women keep coming back to this $78 product.

True Botanicals

If you’ve tried and enjoyed Tata Harper, which also offers a quality anti-aging collection, then you will probably enjoy a True Botanicals product or two. At nearly 60-year olds, Brooke Shields is their ambassador if that’s important to you. The True Botanicals Chebula line features Ayurvedic fruit Chebula, an ingredient known as one of the most bioactive, photostable, broad spectrum, cascading antioxidants with an ORAC score higher than Acai. I recommend their Chebula Active Serum for intense hydration.

 

Tata Harper Elixir Vitae

Tata Harper is a cult anti-aging line for their Elixir Vitae collection. This line is best for severe lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness/ elasticity, and dryness. It is prohibitively expensive even though the average cost of the products in this post are already high.

Furtuna Skin Due Alberi Biphase Oil

Regenerative organic skincare brand Furtuna Skin sources from their own certified organic Sicilian estate where the land must be untouched and irrigated by natural streams. Unconventional in many aspects of their approach to creating skincare, Furtuna uses powerful ingredient complexes like Splendore Anchusa® Complex, optimized delivery methods like Chronoutrition®, and innovative ingredient processes like Soundbath® Method.

Furtuna’s Biphase Moisturizing Oil features their Splendore Anchusa® Complex, a powerful wild-foraged complex that drives formula performance and contains medicinal flower Anchusa azurea rich in protective antioxidant powers, collagen-supporting chicory, Vitamin E-packed asparagus, hydrating beets, and moisture barrier-boosting mallow. Furtuna’s 360° Exposome Defense® Complex fights against the cumulative effect of everyday exposures with a proprietary blend of calendula flower, grape vine, dog rose, and poppy.

Emma Lewisham

I recommend Emma Lewisham if you want a luxury anti-aging skincare line that’s refillable and sustainable. Emma Lewisham is a luxury green beauty brand from New Zealand that prioritizes scientifically active and proven formulations. They even commission independent laboratories to perform in vivo (on people) and in vitro (in the laboratory) testing. Emphasis on independent labs and not their own. Their Illuminating Oil Cleanser is great for day and night and is formulated with 23 of the world’s most nutrient rich phyto-actives that work together as part of a triple-action ingredient system to deeply cleanse and nourish.
