Credo’s Biggest Clean Beauty Sale Is Coming - Here’s How to Get Early Access

One of the most anticipated beauty events of the year, the annual Friends of Credo Spring Sale has earned icon status among clean beauty insiders. The retailer, long respected for its uncompromising standards and tightly curated assortment, rarely marks down its shelves, which is exactly why this event carries so much weight. When it does arrive on Monday, April 27th, it signals a brief, highly anticipated window to shop some of the industry’s most trusted formulas and celebrity favorites at meaningful discounts.

The Friends of Credo Spring Sale typically spans the entire site, bringing coveted skincare, makeup, haircare, and fragrance into rare promotional territory. But beyond the percentage off, it’s the edit itself that draws attention: every product meets Credo’s stringent guidelines for safety, sourcing, and sustainability, making the sale feel less like a clearance moment and more like a considered opportunity to invest.

For those who follow clean beauty closely, it’s less about impulse buys and more about timing—restocking essentials, upgrading routines, and securing bestsellers that are almost never discounted.

Westman Atelier — Favorite of Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, and Reese Witherspoon, makeup artist Gucci Westman’s products prove that “luxury” and “clean” are not mutually exclusive. Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation perfects skin like foundation and concealer in a single swipe while giving it a natural finish. For purists who like an extra bit of coverage, pick up the Westman Atelier Concealer.

If you prefer a skin tint to foundation, opt for Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops. This serum glides on, instantly brightening, hydrating, and visibly improving skin texture. Complete your look with Westman Atelier Hydrobalm Tinted Lipstick or Westman Atelier Sun Tone Bronzing Drops.

Bonjout Beauty — Are the words “regeneration” and “reparative” part of your HG product descriptors? If so, Bonjout Beauty makes next-level products combining pharmaceutical-grade actives and a “patented biotech stem cell process” that even perform on sensitive skin.

Coveted by Dree Hemingway and Christy Turlington, Bonjout Le Balm Skin Savior Solid Serum contains 68 active ingredients, melts into skin like a dream, and offers much needed nourishment and long-lasting hydration while repairing the skin barrier. Bonus: You can choose the original or a fragrance-free option!

Saie — Paige DeSorbo, Apple Martin, Hailey Bieber, and Dree Hemingway all appreciate the brand’s hero products. Fresh-faced skin fans like Gwyneth Paltrow, Miranda Kerr, and America Ferrera choose Saie Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 for its lightweight finish and natural look. Ferrera says, “it’s glowy. It’s moisturizing, [and it] evens the skin.” If you’re a fan of mistake-proof, liquid-cream blush, Saie Dew Blush™ comes in 11 beautiful shades. P.S. “Flirty” is one of the cheeriest cream blushes I’ve ever owned.

ILIA — Founder Sasha Plavsic’s beauty journey began when she set out to create a safe, natural, effective lip balm that was on par with her non-clean faves. Today, Plavsic formulates skincare and makeup products that enthrall the likes of Martha Stewart, Sarah Paulson, Viola Davis, Rebecca Ferguson, and Pamela Anderson. The brand has thousands of 5-star reviews and lifelong fans thanks to its hybrid skincare/makeup approach.

ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara has over 25,000 5-star reviews and doesn’t clump, flake, or smudge for up to 12 hours. ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint provides light coverage in a serum formula that incorporates mineral SPF to protect your skin. And, for minimalists that need a do-it-all color product, the ILIA Multi-Stick is safe for use on eyelids and lips as well as cheeks.

RMS Beauty — Founded by master makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift before Credo Beauty even existed, RMS Beauty has achieved cult status for its innovations in skincare and makeup. The RMS Beauty UnCover Up Concealer makes skin look healthy, hydrated, and flawless and works beautifully even on dry and mature skin.

Celebs like Gisele Bundchen, Zoe Saldaña, and Miranda Kerr – as well as industry insiders – call it the “Meryl Streep of Concealers.” 

Finding Ferdinand — Looking for a vegan, non-toxic, cruelty-free lip balm with a universally flattering tint that truly tastes good AND protects your lips from UV damage? Finding Ferdinand’s Delicious Balm: The Black is a TikTok viral sensation with a berry scent and cool undertones.

You’ve seen it on Kristen Bell, Bethany Frankel, and Sarah Jessica Parker, so try it for yourself. Completely buildable for increased intensity, the Delicious Balm makes lipstick utterly unnecessary.

Le Prunier — How does a solitary product sell out for over six months and gain a wait list of 35,000 clamoring soon-to-be-admirers? Have Chrissy Teigen refer to it as “the holy grail.” Le Prunier’s Plum Multi Purpose Beauty Oil works on all skin types, so don’t shy away from it if you have troubled skin.

Plum oil contains antioxidants as well as fatty acids to fight off free radicals while keeping moisture in. Grab this one quick because the “out of stock” situation is very real. Psst: Freida Pinto, Jennifer Coolidge, and Katherine Schwarzenegger love it, too.

Josh Rosebrook — On a personal note, my love of Josh Rosebrook’s products goes back several years. Plant-based skincare took on a new meaning when I experienced the Josh Rosebrook Vital Balm Cream. This gem extinguishes tretinoin-induced sensitivity, banishes itching, and lasts longer than jars double its size. The dense blue balm works wonders overnight.

Naomi Watts swears by the all-in-one moisturizing/SPF duo found in Josh Rosebrook’s Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30, and Kristin Davis, Alanis Morissette, and Alicia Silverstone adore Rosebrook’s Hydrating Accelerator.

Tower 28 Beauty — Looking for a clean brand with a California vibe and the blessing of the National Eczema Association? Then look no further than Tower 28 Beauty. Their MakeWaves Mascara became a staple in my routine thanks to a recommendation from celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. It’s contact lens safe and has solid staying power.

Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray proved itself worthy of the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance because it calms and repairs stressed skin thanks to hypochlorous acid, which triggers the body’s natural immune response to repair and heal itself. Hailey Bieber, Emma Chamberlain, Mila Kunis, Olivia Rodrigo, Kate Hudson, and Molly Sims, are among the brand’s VIP fans.

RŌZ — Many Beautytap experts, enthusiasts, and content creators fell hard for celebrity hair stylist Mara Roszak’s brand. As far as leave-ins go, RŌZ’s Milk Hair Serum performs across the board for all hair types. This cream/liquid hybrid serum smooths and detangles hair weightlessly. It also smells divine thanks to the BotaniComplex™ that includes frankincense, grape, ginger root, and walnut.

Roszak’s A-list clientele include Olivia Wilde, Cara Delevingne, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Nicole Kidman. Lily Collins, Mila Kunis, and Emma Stone are fans of both the RŌZ Foundation Shampoo and RŌZ Foundation Conditioner.

Nécessaire — You’ve no doubt seen Nécessaire in your social feed thanks to Ashley Tisdale, Courtney Cox, and Jennifer Aniston. Nécessaire’s The Body Exfoliator physical and chemical ingredients to exfoliate the body and prevent ingrown hair. Tisdale says, “Scent plays a huge role in [her] moods and [she finds] the combination of sandalwood and eucalyptus to be really soothing when [she does her] bath time routine.”

Bonus: This product has the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Approval. 

True Botanicals — Luxury might not be the first word to come to mind when you think of botanical-centric skincare, but Brooke Shields, Jessica Chastain, Eva Mendez, and Lisa Rinna will tell you otherwise. True Botanicals’ Chebula Active Anti-Aging Serum brings luminous skin to a whole new level. Chebula, a potent bioactive antioxidant, tackles fine lines, evens out skin tone, smooths rough patches, and makes skin look brighter and firmer simultaneously.

Chastain credits her makeup artist for showing her how to incorporate it into her routine, saying, “It layers beautifully under makeup, [and] it gives my skin a gorgeous glow.”

Tata Harper — A well-established favorite among the Beautytap community, Tata Harper counts Taylor Swift, Minnie Driver, Amanda Seyfried, and Kate Dennings among her devotees. Tata Harper’s Regenerating Cleanser received 4.8 stars from nearly 200 Beautytap reviewers and was praised for its ability to do double duty an exfoliator/cleanser. And Minnie Driver is “obsessed” with Tata Harper’s Brightening Eye Gel for its “de-puffing [properties and ability to remove] dark circles.”

AKT — Need a deodorant that would make a professional performer applaud? Who doesn’t! AKT was born out of necessity and a desire for “durability, portability, and recyclability.” AKT The Deodorant Balm SC.02 After Thunder has surpassed the demands of the cast of Saltburn, and English actress Rosamund Pike reportedly had it couriered to her hotel.

This aluminum-salts free innovation goes on as a balm and dries to a powdery finish and is lauded for offering “professional grade protection that lasts all day.” Bonus: If you’re curious about the various scents available, The Deodorant Balm also comes in 5ml tubes, so you can test out the options before making a 50ml purchase.

DedCool — In 2025, DedCool took the Beautytap community by storm when it shared its Xtra Milk Fragrance. The brand avoids defining scents by typical industry descriptors, and reviewers described DedCool’s XTRA MILK Fragrance as “gentle,” “addictive,” and as “a warm hug from an old friend.” Actress Sarah Pidgeon, the star of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette calls it “your-skin-but-better.”

Clean Beauty, Rigorously Vetted

Since its 2014 founding, Credo Beauty has offered more than just “clean” products. It has championed indie brands, demanded transparency, and maintained strict standards that consumers not only want but deserve. At the center of Credo’s Clean Standard is “The Dirty List” – a comprehensive accounting of 2700 chemicals that companies cannot include in their products if they want to partner with Credo. And unlike “free-from” lists utilized by other widely known retailers, Credo’s commitment to safety and sustainability restricts and/or bans more ingredients than even the European Union (which just recently added 18 more substances under Commission Regulation (EU) 2026/78 that takes effect on May 1, 2026).
