Alicia Keys’ new lifestyle beauty brand, Keys Soulcare, could be the clean-beauty line we’ve been waiting for. The ingredients are clean yet effective, ethically sourced from around the world, and brought to you with soul. Developed in partnership with clean-beauty enthusiast and dermatologist Dr. Renée Snyder, the brand incorporates soul-care by offering sets as rituals. Each product comes with an affirmation.
Keys Soulcare is a culmination of Keys’ journey to being comfortable with how she expresses beauty – in a way that wasn’t based too much on what other people thought of her. You probably remember her make-up free phase when she penned a letter on Lenny titled, “Alicia Keys: Time to Uncover.” In it she wrote:
“‘I don’t want to cover up anymore. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing.”
That gives you an idea of her beauty journey and her vision for Keys Soulcare. Cool, right? Check out some of the products here; they’re sold online and in Ultra Beauty stores nationwide.

Price $20.
