Kinder Beauty Box Review January 2021
Kinder Beauty Box is a vegan and cruelty-free makeup, skincare, hair-care and accessories box, curated with kindness and delivered to your door each month! They kindly sent us this box for review.
Each Kinder Beauty Box is packed with $75-$165 worth of carefully-curated, totally cruelty-free & vegan skincare, makeup, hair-care and/or accessories. You’ll get at least two full-size products in each box, and every month they’ll help you discover new brands to fall in love with!
They work to be as eco-conscious as possible with their packaging by shipping in boxes made from 100% recycled materials that are both biodegradable and compostable along with packing materials inside the box that are also made from 100% recycled materials, and even the ink used to print the logo and designs on the outside of the box is an eco-friendly soy-based ink.
A portion of all sales benefits some of their favorite animal rights and environmental causes such as ASPCA, Farm Sanctuary, Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation and Compassion Over Killing.

January Box Details ($60.88 total value)
“The TLC2021 collection features six items that will help you put yourself first. Help rid your skin of excess oils, irritation, and dryness from the winter cold with a fortifying face mask, a calming face salve, a concentrated formula to fight acne, a cult beauty favorite travel-sized deodorant, a bold eyeliner, and a sample of a vegan collagen drink.”
Here’s a look at what’s in this month’s Kinder Beauty Box:
Box Insert
To cut back on paper use and give subscriber’s even more in their box, their product information cards have gone digital! I really enjoyed the product cards they sent before, but I love even more that they are trying to up their eco-consciousness. The digital version is super easy to find and follow and includes all the same info. Plus, the website is really nicely designed too and includes a quick video rundown of the month’s items. Find it here: kinderbeauty.com/mybox
Kopari: Mini Original Deodorant ($10)
“Empower your pits with Kopari Beauty’s cult-favorite, aluminum- and baking soda-free, natural Coconut Deodorant. This combo of plant-based enzymes helps to provide odor protection while simultaneously helping to break down odor-causing bacteria. This one-of-a-kind vegan and cruelty-free formula is like skincare for your pits!”
I love trying out new deodorants and I’ve not tried this one before so this is great! It smells really good, kind of a soft beach scent, and seems super easy to apply.
Province Apothecary: Clear Skin Advanced Spot Concentrate ($7.50)
“Province Apothecary blend of superior botanicals targets the appearance of spots for a brighter, revitalized complexion. Clear Skin Advanced Spot Concentrate purifies acne-prone skin without harsh, drying, or irritating ingredients, improving surface texture for healthier-looking skin. One drop is all you need to rejuvenate your skin’s appearance! It includes turmeric root oil—which is a source of curcumin that improves the look of the skin and brightens the tone. Calendula flowers infused in jojoba oil are hydrating and improve the quality and appearance of skin.”
I so need this right now! My skin has been so fussy lately so a new spot treatment was on my radar of things to find – perfect timing that it came in this box. I’ve really liked anything else I’ve tried from Province Apothecary so I’m sure I’ll like this one too. Here’s hoping it helps reduce some inflammation.
J&L Naturals: Calm Vegan Face Salve ($14.99)
“This Calm Face Salve from J&L Naturals is an absolute must in your skincare regimen. The vitamin-rich shea butter and olive oil work to moisturize and condition your skin while hemp seed oil helps balance your skin’s natural oil production. Packed with antioxidants, the babassu oil calms irritated skin and works with a blend of tea tree and lavender essential oils to fight acne and prevent future breakouts. This outstanding combination replenishes troubled skin to revive your natural glow. Oh yeah, and did we forget to mention it comes in a completely compostable and biodegradable container?”
This is another great item for my fussy skin! It’s made with super simple and nourishing ingredients that sound like they’ll help tend to irritation. It’s a rich balm that’s harder in the container, but melts when applied to skin for easy application and it smells so herbally-wonderful. I love that it’s consciously made and housed in a completely plastic-free container.
Vianek: Fortifying Face Mask ($4)
“This is a purifying, kaolin-based face mask formulated for intensive care of sensitive and irritation-prone skin. Not to be outdone, it is rich in naturally occurring minerals that nourish the skin—including magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, and silica—and it absorbs excess sebum and oxygenates the skin. Moisturizing coconut and sunflower oils, and valerian root extract, help to soften and regenerate. Regular use helps boost the skin’s resistance to irritants, improves coloring, and promotes a smooth, blemish-free complexion.”
This face mask sounds perfect for my fussy skin. It says it’s made with red clay and sesame oil to detox and nourish skin. It’s nice that it’s a pre-mixed mask so it’s ready to apply. I also appreciate that it’s a sample single-use mask so in case it doesn’t work for my skin there’s no wasted product.
Inika Organic: Eye Pencil (Assorted Shades) ($22)
“Inika Organic’s eye liners are one of our new Kinder Beauty favorites. Crafted from natural plant-based ingredients and mineral pigments, this formula utilizes coconut oil for an easy-glide application. With these liners, you can easily say it with your eyes as you can use these liners to create a dramatic, long-lasting look for any eye shape and color.”
I’m not sure what all the color options were for this item, but in my box I got “Pure Purple” which is a deep purple with a hint of iridescence. It’s so pretty! I generally only wear black eyeliner whenever I do, but I’m excited to switch it up a bit with this lovely purple. It glides on skin nicely and I’m intrigued to test out the wear.
Bonus: PlantFusion: Clear Skin Hydrator Citrus ($2.39)
“PlantFusion Clear Skin Hydrator is a plant-based collagen-boosting supplement that supports smooth, luminous, and nourished skin. Hydrate skin naturally with plant-based hyaluronic acid and coconut water. Nourish skin with collagen-boosting peptides and clinically researched botanicals Dermaval, Saberry, and OxyPhyte. Increase skin luminosity and restore skin radiance with clinically studied melon and grape extracts. Clear Skin Hydrator is vegan-friendly, dairy-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, and kosher.”
I drink collagen every day in my tea so this is a fun way to switch up how I get it in. This one is so easy to use by just mixing with water for quick hydration. I’m intrigued to see how it tastes!
Kinder Beauty Box Review January 2021 – Final Thoughts
What a great way to start the new year! The January Kinder Beauty Box box is packed full of so many fun things. I was surprised at how many items was included, it’s at least 1 or 2 more than past boxes. They mention on the card that notes the change in the info cards going digital (which I love btw) that the change means they can include more product so that’s great – even more for your money! I love everything included and, as usual, appreciate being introduced to new brands like J&L Naturals and Vianek. I can’t wait to try everything out!
