It’s my favorite time of year in the safer skincare world. Beautycounter has released their holiday collection for 2019 which means it’s time for a Beautycounter holiday gift guide. This year is probably my favorite release with lots of budget-friendly options that appeal to a wide variety of folks.

Beautycounter is my go-to for 99% of my makeup and 80% of my personal care products. I appreciate their commitment to consumer safety, advocacy, and of course making non-toxic products that are also high-performing. (A rare thing in the crunchy skincare world!)

This year’s festive holiday collection features 19 new gift sets that are sourced and produced responsibly and free from more than 1500 potentially harmful ingredients.

Beautycounter is a female owned and operated, certified BCORP, which means they balance people, planet and profits equally.  One of my favorite sustainable moves: they offset all carbon emissions. Travel, shipping, production and more are offset, which is unheard of in our online instant delivery world. You can feel good about shopping from this forward thinking, advocacy driven, and planet hugging company.
