1. Aromatherapy Combination Hand Shower by Moen ($160.00): Give the gift of relax with this aromatherapy combination handshower and rainshower. Perfect to enjoy the benefits of a spa at home, the INLY patented technology allows capsules to infuse essential oils directly into shower water, and on demand.

2. Bia Discovery Set by Codex Beauty ($55.00): The perfect introductory green beauty skincare set, you ask? Look no more. This collection of mini size products include the hydrating and nourishing benefits of the celebrated Bia Collection line of the Irish brand Codex Beauty. Perfect for (socially-distanced) travel, a quick touch-up between Zoom meetings, or everything in between, it includes four hero products of the brand in mini sizes. Bia Skin Superfood is a multi-tasking cream for face, hands and body with ultra-hydrating and nourishing ingredients. A rescue cream of sorts, it is a must for the New York winter. The Bia Exfoliating Wash is a gentle and nourishing cleanser that has jojoba grains for a light daily exfoliation. It is actually a great companion for dry skin, because it tackles flakiness without leaving skin feeling tight. The Gel Eye Cream is a cooling and brightening magic wand to reduce under eye puffiness and dark circles. Now that masks only show our eyes, it is a really important step in any green beauty routine! And finally, the Bia Day Cream is a lightweight moisturizer enriched with calendula and sodium hyaluronate to create the mochi skin effect with natural ingredients.

3. Clean Body by PMD ($159.00): Your favorite green beauty lover will tell you that natural skincare is not only good for your body, but also for the environment.

A luxurious body treatment in an elegant device, the PMD Clean Body vibrates 7,000 times per minute to lift, firm, and tone the skin. What’s more, this clean beauty magic wand has three functions: First, to deeply cleanse body, including those hard-to reach areas, with a silver-infused loofah to provide a gentle exfoliation minus the nasty bacteria. Second, the aluminum oxide exfoliator tackles rough and calloused skin in a simple gesture. Third, the body massager is perfect to provide instant relief from everyday body aches (which is especially important now that we are living a lot of our lives virtually, which means bad postures and neck pain.) The massager can be used in the shower, or with your favorite body oil. Perfect to sustainably cleanse, exfoliate, and massage, it is the perfect gift for anyone on your nice list. Because who doesn’t want to treat their body to a luxurious, eco-chic self-care ritual?

A part of a holistic ritual, this body lotion has a cult following due to its intoxicating and crisp floral scent that smells like a Spring afternoon in Seville. A perfect gift to introduce your loved ones in the world of haute natural cosmetics, it is a wonderful way to unwind after a stressful day. Pro tip: After dry-brushing and a warm shower or bath, massage lotion into skin, always working towards the heart in long strokes. {This product is 100% natural and lovingly made in the USA}
5. Kissmas Natural Lipstick Set by Luk Beautifood ($52.00): Did you know that there is such a thing as a lipstick so clean that you can eat it? Luk Beautifood crafts its beautiful shades using natural fruits and vegetables to not only give an elegant color payoff, but also nourish and condition lips. This gift set contains the latest shades from the brand: Nude Sugar and Guava Blush. Nude Sugar is a champagne pink that tastes of creamy vanilla. With a gentle shimmer, gives lifts the softest hint of a very kissable pink. The perfect finishing touch for a glowy, dewy look, it looks as if you had been kissed by a rose. Quite literally. Guava Blush, on the other hand, is a soft pink that tastes of citrus and florals. With a healthy shine, it is the perfect shade for the green gal who loves to wear a ‘barely there’ touch of makeup. Perfect to enhance the natural beauty of your lips, this luminous shade looks (and tastes)… just yummy.

7. Calm Cleanser, Revive Serum, and Jade Roller Gift Set by Starling ($98.00): Clean beauty comes in different shapes and variations. And while it is usually very gentle due to the lack of harsh synthetics, sensitive skin can still struggle to find the right fit. This beautiful gift set by Starling includes a powerhouse duo designed to restore the natural balance of redness-prone and sensitized skin. Wrapped in a beautiful gold box, the gift set contains three full-size products, perfect to gift (or to keep) during the holiday season. The Calm cleanser is quite unique because it’s formulated to effortlessly remove make-up while keeping skin calm and free of redness. As a member of the redness club, it has worked extremely well on my skin, leaving it hydrated, balanced, and clean without looking like a clown. Plus, the ylang ylang scent is a very nice way to start and end the day. Revive is an anti-aging serum for stressed skin that needs a bit of extra help to come back to a balanced state. With fatty acids of grapeseed, borage, evening primrose, chia seed, pumpkin seed, red raspberry seed, and hibiscus oil, it is made in small batches to guarantee freshness. Perfect to recover a healthy glow during the cold winter days, it is surprisingly light and non-greasy and leaves behind a healthy glow. No greasy feeling, promised! And yes, even if you are dealing with maskne you can use this oil, because it is very low on the comedogenic scale. As a final touch, the Jade Roller helps improve circulation and depuff the face. This clean beauty routine for sensitive skin is made with no nuts, gluten, or soy, and of course stays clear of synthetic ingredients like phenoxyethanol, parabens, or phtalates. {This is a 100% natural product lovingly made in the USA by a small business}
8. Gift Box 1 by Nu Evolution ($48.00): Any beauty lover will tell you that lipsticks are the shoes of the face. You should have enough to combine with any outfit, mood, or occasion, and they can make or break your look in an instant.

9. Snow Mitty by Take My Face Off ($22.00): Say goodbye to landfill waste and hellow to reusable, sustainable beauty routines with this cute gift set that contains two ultra-gentle, reusable combo of a makeup removers. Great for green beauty lovers and those sensitive skins who could do with some extra luxury and gentleness in their daily routines, Mittys grab all the yuck, grime, and makeup without tugging or abrading skin. Each convenient finger mitty has a round side for larger areas and a pointed tip for delicate areas like the lash line. For an ultra natural experience, rinse the mitty, put your favorite cleanser on it (I personally use a couple of drops of organic olive oil), and you can say buh-bye to your makeup with two magic swipes. This gift set includes one Mitty Mini (for areas in which you would use a cotton ball, like the eyes), and one Makeup Mitty (for larger areas.) Packaged like an adorable snowman, this is the prefect gift for the ultimate beauty lover with a green conscience. Because sustainable can also be chic, the unique Take My Face Off Mitty gift sets come in other beautiful designs just in time for the holidays. {This product is lovingly made in the USA}
10. Organic Certified Skincare by Viking Beauty Secrets ($46.00, $44.00, & $34.00): For the clean beauty expert there is no better gift that a true organic certified beauty routine. Viking Beauty Secrets is a Nordic skincare brand certified by Ecocert COSMOS that uses three nordic super berries to leave skin healthy and glowing. Made lovingly in the European Union with the purest ingredients, Viking Beauty Secrets has introduced in the American market two new beauty superfoods. Rowanberries are nordic berries that have a high vitamin content to help skin regenerate and brighten, while protecting its natural defenses. Cloudberries are super berries that pack twice as much as vitamin C than oranges, and are loaded with vitamin E, omegas 3 and 6, and ellagitannins, which help skin look plump and radiant. Sea buckthorn, which was introduced a few years ago, is one of my favorite ingredients because it is the only planet in the world that includes omega 3, 6, 9 & 7, and is a nutritional powerhouse that works wonders in my very dry skin. The great thing about Viking Beauty Secrets is that you can customize your gift for your green gal depending on her needs and your budget. A good start is the Day Cream with hyaluronic acid and Nordic berries, which helps replenish lost moisture and boosts the skin’s natural barrier to protect against free radicals. For a rejuvenating touch, the Night Cream is an overnight treatment that repairs skin and helps neutralize daily environmental damage while you sleep. Perfect for those seeking to reduce fine lines, the appearance of environmental damage, and replenish lost moisture. And the Exfoliating Face Scrub is a wonderful intro gift to the world of Nordic beauty for those who want to reveal soft and glowing skin without chemical nasties. Perfect to gift or to keep, this line proves that clean and luxurious beauty doesn’t mean that you have to break the bank. {This is a 100% natural product line certified by Eco-Cert}
