By Lindsey O'ConnellHome » Nurture Yourself » Clean Beauty Holiday Gift Guide
Nutritious Life is making holiday shopping effortless this year. We have handpicked (and tested so you can shop stress free) the healthiest, most practical and inspiring items for every area of your life. We have something for everyone on your list. We’ll help you (and your loved ones) get better sleep, relax, cook up healthy and delicious meals, sparkle with self-care, and simply be more joyful!
Here are our favorite items for the person who loves to nurture themselves from the inside out. We’ve got everything from toning technology to gold-infused serums.
Outdoor Benefits, Inside
The heal is real with this product, which is essentially forest bathing in a bottle. When you’re unable to get outside and ground yourself, which seems to be the challenge of all quarantine challenges, simply spray the mist to bring on the healing benefits of nature instantly. Actual time outside is essential for our wellbeing, as it’s proven to reduce the production of stress hormones, improve feelings of happiness and creativity, lower heart rate, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness. But on those crazy busy days when you’re glued to your desk dreaming of adventure, use this to get the mood boost you’d get from being outdoors.
I’m Outside Forest Bathing in a Bottle, $28
Set Up Your Beauty Space
Setting your bathroom up for relaxation is a great beauty ritual. We love this candle from Lake & Skye. All products are unisex, vegan cruelty-free, and formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates or palm oil. Their 11 11 line is inspired by numerology and the practice of kundalini yoga and designed to enhance and elevate the everyday beauty routine. It’s a gift that gives back, too. One tree is planted with every order!
LAKE & SKYE 11 11 Candle & Fragrance Duo, $86

Tap into Your Inner Spirit Animal
Truly’s best-selling product and one that’s gone viral on TikTok (check it out here & here), this product is known for its rainbow look and chocolate smell. Clean and packed with four of the brand’s favorite ingredients: Matcha, Acaii, Chia, Rose. It’s super fun, but also really hydrating. Truly uses vegetable collagen, which brings a youthful appearance to the skin.

A Complete Facial Gua Sha System
If your loved one is missing their facials, this is the gift for you! Wildling’s Empress Collection really brightens your skin.

Use Matcha for More Than Your Morning Latte
Looking for a skincare line with a “less is more” approach and plant-based products that are effective, sustainably made and yield positive results? Well, then look no further. Matcha Mask: for the self-care guru—this is the perfect gift for that person on your list who is constantly looking for efficient ways to practice self care. A 5-minute flash mask will brighten up their skin—and day! Add in a face cloth, made from organic bamboo, for a little set.

Strike Gold This Season
Our skin has never looked better since we tried Makanai. The beloved, clean J beauty line, Makanai, launched in the US this month and we are super psyched about it. Kanazawa, Japan is known for gold leaf, which is the foundation for this line. Gold has the unique benefit of increasing fibroblast production—which improves skin’s elasticity and texture. Give anything from their skincare line and you’ll impress. We like their Skin Jewel Oil Serum, a 100% natural beauty oil made with seven different botanical oils and flecked with pure 24K gold leaf. Shake the bottle and the gold flecks float, snow globe-style.

Pretty Brushes
A makeup brush set is something we all need, but rarely prioritize when buying beauty products. So it’s the perfect gift. This set by Luxie has all you need for natural to glam looks. Plus, they are so pretty with rose quartz designs.
Give Your Cheeks Some Love
Undone Beauty is a minimalist beauty brand with major benefits. We love their whole aesthetic—inspired by multitasking women, who want great makeup, but don’t have a lot of time. Each product multitasks (genius!) and has clean ingredients like coconut and castor oil. Their 3-in-1 cheek palette is a great stocking stuffer.
Undone Beauty Lip 2 Cheek 3-in-1 Cream Palette, $22
