Just when you thought you had a top-shelf, Instagrammable beauty collection going, Drunk Elephant bursts onto the scene with more must-haves.

The skincare brand – which has since expanded into haircare and body care – is one of the fastest growing names in the industry, with celebrities, beauty editors and ‘skintellectuals’ alike all singing its praises.

As well as offering chic, neon-capped bottles and cute and quirky names, Drunk Elephant are best known for their vegan, cruelty-free and ‘clean’ formulas. Every product is free of what the brand coins as the ‘suspicious six’ (essential oils, drying alcohols, silicons, chemical sunscreens, fragrances and dyes, and SLS) in order to minimize skin issues and guarantee visible, transformative results.

Want to find out for yourself just how good it is but not sure where to start? We’ve put together a complete guide to the best Drunk Elephant skin, hair and body products so that you can build the ultimate beauty routine.
