16. Voila French Nail Polish Collection by *Hype ($27): For a green gal, it is virtually impossible to find all-natural nail polish, as such a thing does not exist. The next best option comes from *Hype, a brand lovingly made in the USA with up to 85% natural ingredients. The French Collection features a palette that any macaron-lover would kill to own. Inspired by the classic French manicure, this collection offers three beautiful sheer colors plus an ultra white enamel. Such a chic gift will surely not leave her indifferent (especially if you pair up with an offer to go to Paris on a long and decadent honeymoon, wink wink.)
17. Pure Marula Facial Oil by Marula ($58): Remember all the hype with the now famous Argan oil? Well, Marula Oil is another skin superfood that has been the secret of supermodels for a long time. Clinically proven to have way more antioxidants than argan oil for supple skin, this golden elixir works wonderfully well on its own or mixed with other facial products to boost their efficiency. Yeah, this is the next BIG THING in green beauty. My skin loves this product, and as a little goes a long way it’s a gift that will keep her thinking about you until the next Valentine’s Day.

Hint: If you’re not too good at that, you can always add 1-2 capfuls to a hot running bath for an intoxicating experience.
19. Damascus Rose Face Care Starter Set by Badger ($33.98): If you really want to gift high-quality skincare that is also certified organic, you should look at some of the terrific gift sets that the folks at Badger have put together. To celebrate the month of love, there’s nothing better than their Damascus Rose Line, designed to pamper dry/delicate skin with roses, one of the most precious natural oils recognized for its anti-ageing and regenerating properties. The Face Care Starter Set includes a Damascus Rose Face Cleansing Oil (yes, you can learn more about my personal experience here) and a Damascus Rose Face Oil that works as a serum/moisturizer. Non-comedogenic, gentle, and restoring, this kit is a wonderful introduction to the world of chemical-free skincare that is also handmade in the USA. {This is a 100% natural product certified 100% organic by the USDA}

She has recently launched the first Thermal Mud Bath Bomb, designed to keep skin soft and luxurious all winter long. The formula is chock-full with all-natural goodness: The hungarian thermal mud minimizes breakouts, maximizes hydration, and is purifying and brightening; the poppy seed is an anti-inflammatory that pampers skin during the harsh winter months; the olive oil has powerful anti-aging benefits, and the ginger milk essential oil has a calming scent.
