The Christmas season is upon us and what better way to say you care about someone than with some non toxic beauty goodies? Be it a co-worker, friend, niece, granddaughter, daughter, wife or mother, these items make great gifts or a special stocking stuffer!
#1 The JeNu Plus Ultrasonic Infuser $99 - You've probably seen this little guy all over Facebook. This skin care tool uses ultrasound technology to force your own (non toxic👍🏼)products deeper into your skin, therefore, making them work more effectively in a lesser amount of time. Don't worry, there is no pain in using the Ultrasonic Infuser, just a slight vibration. You get the Infuser, Infuser gel, and a wall charger. You can purchase Jenu's new naturally derived conducting gel "Microsphere Infusion Gel" separately for $29 (6 month supply) which is free of dyes, parabens and sulfates. To decide if this infusion gel meets your requirements for non toxic, click HERE to read more about it.
#2 Thrive Causemetics Perfect Eye Palette (warm neutral eyes) $45 - Have you heard of Thrive Causemetics? This cosmetic company makes high end, non toxic cosmetics and with every item you purchase, one goes to a woman fighting cancer. These items are distributed to female cancer patients in hospitals and other events around the world. How awesome is that? This palette contains six matte and one shimmer eye shadow which are in neutral tones of brown and beige. The formula is a very pigmented, creamy powder that applies like a dream, wears all day long and didn't crease on me. This one palette can take you from running errands, to work appropriate, to an evening out. Who wouldn't love that!?
#3 Essensu Botanical Perfume Sprays and Rollerball - I LOVE shopping on Etsy.com for individuals and small businesses that put their passion and love for a non toxic lifestyle into their products. This brand is cruelty free and offers holistic, organic and botanical skincare with only the finest botanical and cosmeceutical ingredients. Their line consists of everything from shampoo, shower gel and body lotion, to skincare and perfume. Shown are three scents I absolutely love, Pink Sugar (described as a playful scent with a touch sweet sugar, cotton candy, vanilla, warm caramel and light floral) $15.50 for 4 oz spray. Warm Vanilla Sugar (described as an intoxicating blend of rich vanilla bean, cocoa bean, sparkling sugar, white orchid, hints of jasmine, fresh coconut, grounded in seductive sandalwood) $15.50 for 4 oz spray. And Cherry Blossom Roll on which I could not find available on the site to give you their description of the scent but it is a very clean, fresh floral scent. These run $12 to $14 for a .35 fl oz bottle. This etsy store is FANTASTIC! The owner is wonderful and they will make any item in their store in any scent and they will try to accommodate any scent creation of your own!!!
#4 Prim Botanicals Mademoiselle Swell Perfume Oil $42 for 5 ml roll on.- I always get asked what I am wearing when I have this perfume oil on. It is described as clean, fresh and delightful and is a crisp blend of neroli, lemon and jasmine. A blend of both citrus and floral. I love that is it very bright and uplifting. I usually do not like floral fragrances but I am in love with this one! www.primbotanicals.com
#5 Carefull Candles $12 for an 8 oz candle, $4 for wax melts - These candles are incredible! They are handmade with 100% non GMO soy wax with zero additives, a paper/cotton blend wick and phthalate and carcinogen FREE fragrance oils. My favorites are the Marshmallow Campfire (smells exactly like Bath and Body Works Marshmallow Fireside described as warm, sweet and toasty) and Tobacco and Vanilla (described as a smooth, sexy scent). All of the scents she has are available in candles or wax melts. The owner, Caroline is super nice and will even try to make a custome scent for you! www.etsy.com, shop name Carefull Candles
These next two items I'm going to talk about make great stocking stuffers. Face masks are such a big DIY at homes these days. Who doesn't love putting on a treatment mask, drawing a nice warm bath and soaking with a glass of wine? I know it's a once a week must for me! These Andalou Naturals individual sheet masks and clay masks are fantastic! Shown is the Instant Lift and Firm Hydro Serum face mask (sheet) with Resveratrol and CoQ10 ($4.99) which hydrates, plumps and rejuvenates. Instant Lift and Firm Marula Oil and Purple Clay face mask ($3.69) which nourishes, firms and smooths the skin while stimulating circulation. Last is the Instant Clarity Blue Clay and Argan Oil mask which detoxes skin of impurities and clogged pores while nourishing the skin.
Another absolute fav of mine are these Jumbo Organic Lip Balms by Treat Beauty. These are so nourishing and moisturizing. Great for dry winter lips that crack. I use it all year round though. They have so many delicious flavors and my number one favorite is Marshmallow Cream. It smells and tastes like marshmallows! Yum! Mocha and Coconut Cream are yummy as well. I am dying to try the cake flavors that came out more recently. These lip balms are .50oz of softening organic goodness and are $13.99 each.
So there you have it, some of my most favorite products that, in my opinion, would make great gifts for the Christmas Season. What healthy beauty items are you asking Santa for this year?
As always, thank you for reading!
Stay healthy, BE YOU tiful, and have a blessed holiday season with your loved ones!
