Zoe Saldaña first graced the big screen in Center Stage at the turn of the millennium, and she hasn't left it since! You've seen her in big-budget productions such as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and intimate features, such as Out of the Furnace and Infinitely Polar Bear. Saldaña can do it all — and then some!
She's appeared in some of the biggest film franchises ever — as Nyota Uhura in Star Trek, Na'vi heroine Neytiri in Avatar, and perhaps most famously as Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers films. In fact, Saldaña is the only actor to have appeared in three of the five highest-grossing films of all time!
When she's not donning green makeup and kicking butt as a Guardian of the Galaxy, Saldaña is recharging at home. And she strives to make sure that her home is happy and in tip-top shape so that her family is all smiles. We asked her to share her favorite products and she was eager to Sivako — Na'vi for "Rise to the challenge" — and present us with the five must-haves that she depends on every single day.
Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer
For all your air frying needs, Saldaña recommends the Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer. "I am a sucker for the instant fryer right now," shares Saldaña. "I fry everything there, from [zucchini and eggplant] to if my boys want chicken wings."
The Instant Vortex Plus, a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon, combines six functionalities into one: air frying, broiling, roasting, dehydrating, baking, and reheating. It's easy to use, with customizable cooking programs for easy chicken wings, roasted veggies, cinnamon buns and more — and is easy to clean as well, thanks to its nonstick, dishwasher-safe air fry basket and tray.
Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm
"I tend to have dry lips — my lips really chap very quickly," confessed the actor. But one product that Saldaña has come to depend on for her lip care needs is Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm. With this balm, you can keep dry lips moisturized while adding beautiful color. They hydrate and soothe with sheer, flattering colors that create a gorgeous everyday look. And they're on sale on Amazon now for less than $8 for a two-pack (was $10).
"Burt's Bees products I love...This new line of theirs..., it's wonderful. And they have beautiful shades that cater to all skin tones," raved Saldaña.
Method All-Purpose Cleaner
"I like organic brands. I like brands that encourage me to just be more environmentally conscious," noted Saldaña. And which brand does she trust for cleaning her home? It's simple: Method All-Purpose Cleaner.
Method provides safe cleaning for the whole family while staying tough on mess. Saldaña continues, "My kids are still very little, so if I'm using really strong chemicals as I'm cleaning around the house, I could expose them to having allergic reactions or getting sick, which is worse." No worries here — Method's powerful, plant-based cleaning agents include cleaners made from corn and coconut, so each spray packs a punch that cuts through dirt and gunk without leaving behind a ton of chemical residue.
Amazon Echo Show
How does someone as in-demand as Zoe Saldaña get a jump on her to-do list? She depends on the Amazon Echo Show, of course!
The Amazon Echo Show acts like your own personal assistant with capabilities that include keeping track of your personal calendar, delivering the news, making video calls to friends and family, streaming music or shows — and all using just your voice!
From saying, "Hey, Alexa," to making sure she's stocked up on all her home essentials, Saldaña says the Echo Show keeps life running smoothly. "I love it because like everybody else, I'm always ordering things [from Amazon]!" Including the Echo Show itself!
Corona Premier
"I've realized that I love to unwind while I'm cooking with a beautiful adult beverage," laughs Saldaña. "But I don't want the excess of sugars and the excess of alcohol." Enter the Corona Premier, an exceptionally smooth premium light beer that's only 90 calories, 2.6g of carbs, and 4% alcohol per can or bottle.
"Having Corona Premier is great; teaming up just made sense," shared Saldaña. Indeed, the brand has partnered with the star to create a campaign centered around achieving more by doing less and enjoying just chilling out in 2022. "They're just promoting some lightness to life, that you don't have to give something up...that you're capable of achieving balance," said Saldaña.
