You probably know that when it comes to inexpensive pantry staples, quick heat-and-eat meals and floral arrangements, Trader Joe’s is everything. But if you’re shopping there and you’re walking past the products in the beauty aisle, you’re seriously missing out. The grocery brand is known for its unique private-label products that are high-quality without breaking your budget.
If you don’t believe us, social media is full of Trader Joe’s beauty believers who sing the praises of their products. These days, we’re all looking for ways to save on beauty products, but if you don’t know where to start, check out a few of our favorite things from Trader Joe’s beauty aisle that are all under $10.
Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer ($8.99)
If you don’t look at the label, you might swear that TJ’s Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer is Clinique’s Moisture Surge. With ingredients like aloe leaf juice, green tea and sodium hyaluronate, it’s made to hydrate your skin without making it feel greasy.
Lip Butter Balm Duo ($6.99)
This Lip Butter Balm Duo is a dead ringer for the popular Summer Friday’s Lip Butter Balm that is more than three times the price at $24. For just $6.99, you get a tube of the Vanilla Mint and Brown Sugar flavors that will give your chapped lips some much-needed relief. Fans love that the TJ’s brand moisturizes without feeling sticky.
Watermelon Overnight Face Mask
Don’t let anyone tell you that TJ’s Watermelon Overnight Face Mask isn’t just as good (if not better) than Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Mask. Fans of this refreshing mask love how soft it makes their skin feel.
“It’s my fav,” wrote someone on TikTok.
All-in-One Facial Cleanser ($5.99)
Who says you can’t find an inexpensive facial cleanser that is safe for sensitive skin? Trader Joe’s All-in-One Facial Cleanser is a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser that gets the job done without leaving your skin feeling dry. Safe enough to use every day, this cleanser will easily become one of your bathroom staples.
Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream ($4.99)
Constant hand washing and cold temperatures can leave your hands feeling rough and dry, but Trader Joe’s has a low-cost solution that gives you the same smooth feeling as L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Hand Cream. Made with coconut oil, hemp seed oil and shea butter, TJ’s Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream should be in your bag at all times.
Hair Oil ($5.99)

Argan oil, vitamin E and chia seed oil are what you’ll get in Trader Joe’s Hair Oil. It works wonders on the hair and scalp, keeping frizzies away and offering heat protection. As an added bonus, it has a nice, soft scent. Fans of this oil love how much it reminds them of Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil, which sells for more than $30.
Ultra Rich Body Wash Oil ($5.99)
If you like L’Occitane’s Almond Shower Oil or Sol de Janeiro’s Delícia Drench™ Moisturizing Shower Oil but you don’t like the price, TJ’s Ultra Rich Body Wash Oil is a great alternative. Although it’s not available year-round, it’s worth stocking up when you have the chance. It’s made with skin-friendly ingredients like aloe leaf juice and coconut oil…and it smells great!
Marula Oil Cream Cleanser ($6.99)
If you’re looking for a gentle cleanser that will remove oil, dirt and makeup without making your skin feel dry, the Marula Oil Cream Cleanser is a great option. Made with ingredients like oatmeal and chamomile extract, it does the job without doing damage to your skin…and the marula oil is oh so hydrating.

The Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask is the perfect treatment for dry and damaged hair.

The Cacay Oil Body Butter isn’t available all year long, but when it is, you’re going to want to scoop it up. Made with Cacay Coil, shea butter and coconut oil, it’s a nice, thick moisturizer that will keep your skin moisturized all day long. A little goes a long way with this stuff, and the pink dragonfruit and jasmine fragrance is a sweet treat.
Retinol Night Serum ($9.99)
You can rejuvenate your skin without breaking the bank. If you’re looking to get rid of dead skin cells, the Retinol Night Serum will do the work while you sleep. Made with ingredients, including vitamins C, E, and salicylic acid, this inexpensive gem will help clear your pores and leave you with a brighter, more even complexion. If you like L’Oréal Revitalift Derm Intensives Night Serum (which sells for $39.99), you’ll love this one.
