by Julia O'Donnell

The sheer variety of products available on Amazon is incredible — no matter how obscure the item you’re searching for seems, it’s still likely to turn up dozens, if not hundreds, of results. Because of the fact that Amazon shoppers have a near-endless array of options, it’s worth paying attention when they’re all buying the same thing. When an item becomes so popular that sellers can’t keep up with demand, it’s usually a sign that said item is worth investigating. Curious? Then check out this list of surprising products that keep selling out on Amazon, so you can see for yourself what all the buzz is about.

The items on this list include everything from skincare products to organizing tools to decorative accents for your home; no matter what you’re shopping for, you’re sure to discover at least one thing that interests you. Don't be surprised to find that even the simplest of items have managed to garner hundreds (or even thousands) of glowingly positive reviews; when people find something on Amazon that they love, they’re generally more than happy to let their fellow shoppers know.

2. A Himalayan Salt Lamp That Gives Off A Warm, Soothing Glow

When a trip to the sea just isn't possible, this Himalayan salt lamp is the next-best way to experience the soothing feeling of salt in the air. While technically the evidence is mixed as to whether Himalayan salt lamps really do purify the air, they certainly can't hurt — and either way, they look beautiful. This one comes in two color options: white salt and pink crystal salt. "The dimmer switch makes it even more gorgeous, and allows you to set whatever ambiance you’d like," wrote one reviewer.

4. A Natural Deodorant That Actually Works

If you're looking to make the switch to natural deodorant, it's important to do your research — even the most ardent advocates for going natural admit that many of the formulas on the market simply aren't effective. This charcoal-based coconut deodorant, though, is a very solid option. Not only is it free of aluminum, chemicals, parabens, or animal products, but it has over 1,100 glowing reviews confirming that yes, it actually works.

Stash this reusable mesh bag in your purse, desk, or glovebox, and you're sure to end up using it far more than you'd expect.

Plus, it looks so much chicer than your typical reusable grocery bag.

6. A Rich-Yet-Lightweight Moisturizer For Soft, Comfortable-Feeling Skin

This moisturizer from Korean skincare brand CosRX is powered by ceramides that work to restore moisture and reinforce your skin's natural protective barrier.

This makes it an amazing choice for sensitive skin types, whether you're dealing with dryness, redness, inflammation, or a condition like eczema.

10. A Microfiber Towel That Dries Hair Faster & Minimizes Frizz

Since microfiber is much more absorbent than cotton, this microfiber hair towel will dry your hair significantly faster than a typical bath towel.
