At Clean Beauty Collective we love embracing the spirit of Christmas and holiday gifting, which gives us the perfect excuse for honouring the people that matter most in our lives with a little something special. And if that person is you? We’re not judging, treats to self are always self-care in our books. 

With all that in mind, we’ve curated a guide for those that are looking to give the gift of clean beauty, of thoughtful choices that allow your loved ones to do good for themselves and the planet.

For the Skincare Enthusiast

Yes these types can be a little particular when it comes to their product picks. But they also love the gift of a new discovery that they can fall in love with and add to their already extensive regime.

If the skincare enthusiast in your life errs on the luxe side of beauty, they will love BYBI’s Acid Gold Mask an exfoliating face mask packed with natural AHAs to banish dulling, dead skin cells. It provides a potent hit of regenerating and skin-cell-renewing ingredients that brighten and replenish skin while improving tone and texture, all in a thick jelly mask that’s incredibly satisfying to apply.  It’s the perfect antidote to post-silly season skin stress. 

Henné Organics Lip Serum is another fabulous option, a supercharged lip formula comprised of an incredible blend of time-defying oils. The highly potent ingredients help nourish and smooth, promote collagen production, and bolster the lips’ protective barrier, and the stunning glass bottle with 24k gold plated rollerball is a joy in itself!

Or for the facial oil obsessive, opt for a top-up of the OG rosehip oil – Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil. The epitome of clean beauty, Trilogy’s pure, cold-pressed, wild-harvested rosehip seed oil is ideal for overall skin health as well as scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles.

And naturally every skincare obsessive will want to protect their good work, which is where People4Ocean Vegan Sunscreen SPF50 comes in. Wax from the Candelilla plant replaces beeswax in this SPF50 award-winning sunscreen, which is mineral-based, 100 percent natural, and vegan. It provides UVA/UVB protection to even the most fragile skin, including children (3 months and over) and comes infused with spa-grade essential oils and organic coconut oil to moisturise and protect.

For the Makeup Fan

These days clean makeup is really hitting its stride, with some incredible formulas that perform beautifully and knock their less-than-clean counterparts well out of the park.

Aleph Beauty’s Smoothing Skin Tint SPF20  An ultra lightweight sheer tint designed to blur and smooth the appearance of the skin instantly while protecting and repairing against UV damage over time. Your real life daily filter to wear alone or under your makeup. 

Aleph Beauty’s Hybrid Eye Pigment in Incense is another non-negotiable for clean makeup fans and works on eyes and brows.  A powder-creme-pencil hybrid that delivers various looks depending on your mood, you can smudge it into the lash line for a smouldering liner, swipe along the upper lash line to create a bold and graphic line, or blend to a buildable shadow across the lid. 

Top off the look with Aleph’s best-selling Lift/Lengthen Mascara. The key to perfectly defined, natural lashes, Lift/Lengthen Mascara is a consciously crafted formula, designed to lift, define and add volume to lashes on each application. We love that the glass vial it comes in is made from reusable and infinitely recyclable glass when sent back to Aleph HQ in their Re Aleph take-back system. 

And when it’s time to take it all off at the end of the day? Pop some Take it Off Makeup Removal Mini Towels in their stocking for the eco-conscious alternative to makeup wipes.
