Though many conventional, big-name brands continue to line grocery store shelves with goods containing harmful ingredients such as fluoride and sulfates, The VanMan Company provides alternatives carefully formulated with pure ingredients and free from toxic chemicals. Upon releasing their wildly successful Miracle Tooth Powder, The VanMan Company has since launched a series of products replete with anti-inflammatory, healing benefits. Underrated Brands

3. GetMr.
Created by mother-daughter duo Dr. Beth Goldstein and Elianna Goldstein, GetMr. is a health and wellness brand geared towards helping men cultivate healthier skincare regimens with products designed to reduce UV damage, skin cancer and more. In 2018, after Elianna Goldstein’s father was diagnosed with skin cancer, the mother-daughter team struggled to find SPF products that were accessible, effective and comfortable for him to apply daily. Following extensive research on men’s attitudes and behaviors concerning sunscreen use, the Goldsteins found that while most men rarely use sunscreen regularly, most have implemented other skincare products such as aftershave or moisturizer into their everyday routines. As a result, they developed their idea for a multifaceted, all-in-one men’s skincare item that acts as a daily moisturizer, aftershave and mineral sunscreen—GetMr.’s Daily 3-In-1 Face Lotion. Trusted by dermatologists around the globe, GetMr. has since gained acceptance into a competitive four-month accelerator, partnered with Tennis Pro and Commentator Brad Gilbert and published a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Drugs and Dermatology.
4. Berra Bites
