Beauty & Personal Care

What is listed: brands and prices from $9.11 to $34.99

This guide covers the Beauty & Personal Care listings. They come from thirty-one brands: L'Oréal Paris with 15 of the 91, NYX Professional Makeup with 13, vH Essentials with 10, Sebastian Professional with 7, Dove with 5, COVERGIRL with 4, Banana Boat, CeraVe and Kristin Ess with 3 each, Harry's, Head & Shoulders, Maybelline New York, SheaMoisture, Sun Bum and Too Faced with 2 each, and one each from sixteen more, among them Batiste, Clinique, Grande Cosmetics, Olay, Garnier Fructis, Rimmel London, Marc Anthony, method men, Baby Bum and Nexxus. Prices run $9.11 to $34.99 with a $21.49 median — 76 of the 91 sit in the $15–$30 band and 7 come in under $15. The page splits into personal care, sun care, and hair and face.

Sun care: 5 of the 91, SPF 15 up to SPF 50

The “Sun Care” tag sits on 5 of the 91 listings, priced $13.39 to $15.99 — and SPF does not track price. Banana Boat Dry Oil SPF 15 Spray, Twin Pack is two 6 oz cans at $15.99, while Banana Boat Sport Coolzone Clear Sunscreen Spray, Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, Twin Pack, 2 x 6 oz is a broad spectrum spray at $13.39. Baby Bum SPF 50 Mineral Spray, 3 fl oz at $13.59 is the only one of the five labeled fragrance free; the others are a mineral SPF 50 sport lotion at $14.99 and NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Glaze Skin Tint SPF 30, a tinted skin tint at $15.91 rather than a sunscreen. Two of the five are twin packs, so compare total ounces: the $15.99 pack holds 12 oz across two cans, the $13.59 can holds 3 oz. More SPF sits in Sun Care, sharing 5 products with this collection.

vH Essentials: 10 of the 91, in seven forms

Third behind L'Oréal Paris and NYX: vH Essentials is 10 of the 91 listings, split into seven forms — two cleansing sprays, two wipes packs, two feminine washes, and one each of bikini gel, deodorizing mist, foaming wash and suppositories. The price floor sits here. Hypochlorous Acid Cleansing Spray, 3 fl oz at $9.11 is the cheapest item on the page and Bikini Skin Soothing Gel, 3 oz at $10.03 the only other under $11; the other eight vH listings all cost $20.15 — including Feminine Cleansing Wipes, 32 Count and pH Balanced Suppositories, 6 Tablets. With price flat across those eight, form and size decide, and the featured ingredient differs pack to pack: boric acid, tea tree and cranberry, hypochlorous acid, fragrance free. Check the carton panel and ask your healthcare provider before trying a new one.

Hair, face and makeup: from hairsprays to NYX pens

The hairspray aisle holds five products; the two under $20, both tagged “Hair Care”, are L'Oreal Elnett Satin Unscented Hairspray, 11 oz at $14.61 and Nexxus XXL Volume Hairspray, 10 oz at $15.97. Two things on the can separate them: hold, strong versus medium, and size, 11 oz versus 10 oz; the cheaper one is the larger and unscented. In makeup, NYX alone has thirteen listings (among them a liquid liner 2-pack, a brow tint pen, a clear gloss, a pore-filling primer and a plumping serum-primer), shelved beside L'Oreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation 20 Golden Ivory, 1 oz at $13.49, the only product here tagged “foundation.” Several foundations are listed, most of them L'Oréal shades, so match by shade number, not name.

Before you add to cart: what these 91 listings leave out

Count first: 72 of the 91 listings state no quantity in the title — the exceptions are the two 32-count wipes packs, the 6-tablet suppositories, the two Banana Boat twin packs and fourteen “Pack of” multi-packs, among them the NYX liner 2-pack, two Dove and two Head & Shoulders. Elsewhere the deciding number is fluid ounces: the $20.15 group runs from a 3 fl oz mist to 6 fl oz washes, so cost per ounce nearly doubles at an identical price. Then format: 90 of the 91 are sprays, gels, liquids, creams, wipes, sticks and other non-tablet forms; exactly one is a tablet — the 6-tablet suppositories. All descriptions follow the manufacturer’s own label claims. Deeper reading: How to Read a Supplement Facts Label and How to Build a Simple Daily Wellness Routine.
