Tis the season to gift something meaningful.

As a mother and founder of the Clean Living Founder's Collective, I know a thing or two about the importance of giving gifts that contribute to the health and wellness of those I love (plus they are woman-owned and made by my dear friends pictured below!).

If your holiday shopping season list is overflowing and you’re not quite sure what to give this season, consider giving something that’s clean, non-toxic, and made by female founders.

This 2024 gift guide doesn’t feature just your average clean living products, some of these inventions have not been seen before and are truly novel and valuable for a person who cares about clean products, natural living, and sustainability.

Take your pick of products that fill the home with natural aromas that cleanse and delight or products and tools that make someone feel empowered and beautiful. No matter what you choose from this list, it will be a good choice — for the gift receiver, their wellbeing, and the planet.

1. The Miracle Powder Cleanser from Glotanicals by Kat Scarlett

Even the packaging is sustainable—seed paper that you can plant and watch wildflowers grow!

If you’re looking to gift a clean beauty product that works wonders, look no further than Glotanicals’ Miracle Powder Cleanser. This innovative facial cleanser is one of a kind with its 100% waterless formula that gently yet effectively cleanses the skin. It’s perfect for the clean beauty lover who’s glamping, on the go, or wants a double-cleansing step that doesn’t require water. It also doubles as a face mask! My friend Kat Scarlett is the formulator, founder, and also a podcaster who’s constantly dropping knowledge on the clean beauty space on her podcast, Eco Glo. Who knew you could upgrade your skin and your knowledge in one shop?

The founder of Glotanicals (Kat Scarlett) has an amazing podcast called Glo Eco and is a huge sustainability advocate that’s worked on countless levels initiatives at Clean Living including the 2025 Grant Program to support self-funded female founders at the Oscars.

2. Touchfree Skincare Applicator from Lunaescent (https://lunaescent.com/)

This is an invention not often seen when it comes to tools in the beauty market. Available in a few colors to suit your style.

If someone you know is looking for the hottest cleansing tool on the market, the Lunaescent Touchfree Skincare Applicator is it! It’s an all-in-one massage, depuffing, and cleansing tool that allows you to refresh your skin with your usual skincare products without touching your face. Its soft applicator is held like a razor and can distribute skincare products without using your fingertips. It’s perfect for on-the-go skincare applications, glamping, and for moments when you don’t want to get your hands dirty. Give it a try!

3. Super-G Youth Serum Mini from Six Gldn (https://www.sixgldn.com/)

Clean botanical skincare that helps you age gracefully never goes out of style. Gift your loved one a skincare routine that’ll turn back the clock—naturally. Six Gldn’s Super-G Youth Serum Mini is a fan favorite for its lightweight vegan and cruelty-free formula that visibly brightens and evens skin tone while minimizing the look of dark spots. The secret ingredient is the Glow ReActivating Complex made with synergistic bio-active botanicals that target eight visible signs of aging, like increasing skin volume, firmness, and elasticity while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Your loved one who is into anti-aging products that are clean and effective will love this!

4. Sustainable Palo Santo from Maison Palo Santo

Give the gift of good vibes and an incredible-smelling home with sustainably sourced palo santo home care products from Maison Palo Santo. Palo santo, called the “wood of the saints” is a type of wood from South America. Its incredible cleansing properties have been used for centuries to ward off bad spirits and infuse spaces with beautiful scents and vibes. Maison offers wild-crafted palo santo smudge sticks, candles, and more harvested from branches that have naturally fallen to the forest floor. It’s a great way to gift a sustainable home care experience to someone who loves that aroma of this sacred wood.

5.Hand poured Coconut Wax Candles from Eves & Co (https://evesandco.com/)

Non-toxic, luxury candles anyone? Eves & Co has the perfect gift for that candle lover in your life. With scents ranging from vibrant and fruity pink grapefruit to fresh and woody evergreen, there’s something for everyone’s aromatic palatte. Their candles are made mindfully crafted with vegan coconut wax and lead-free cotton and wood wicks that burn slowly without leaving a toxic trace. They also have a gift box option at checkout that makes packing and wrapping this beauty smooth and easy.

6. Non-Toxic Sunscreen from Espieve

Sunscreen is a necessity, but not every sunscreen company uses clean, vegan, and non-toxic ingredients. Espieve (https://espieve.com/) does. Their mineral spray body sunscreen and SPF 40 facial sunscreens are all free of harsh chemicals such as parabens, sulfates, and dyes. They’re the perfect gift for your friends or family who live in sunny places and would love cleaner sunscreen for their daily skincare needs.

7. Cocoa & Onyx 

Who said walking your dog had to be drab and fashionless? For the dog lover in your life who doesn’t mind looking chic when they walk and feed their furry friend, gift a bag from Cocoa & Onyx. Their genuine leather dog treat bags are an innovation that will surely stand out at the holiday party. Each bag is handcrafted with dedicated spaces for treats, poop bags, and everyday essentials. It’s everything that pet lover needs to enjoy time with their doggo and be hands-free. Oh, and they come in 8 beautiful colors ranging from classic Black to colorful Terracotta.

8. Lash Binder

This innovation is near and dear to my heart because I created it! Lashes are big these days. More and more people are choosing to pop on beautiful lashes to complement their looks, but they’re not always easy to install. The Lash Binder makes applying your eyelashes now easier, faster, and quicker than ever! Give that lash lover in your life the gift of 10 extra minutes in the morning without the struggle. The Lash Binder is a sanitary way to apply lashes. It’s made from 100% recycled materials, it’s easy to clean, water resistant, and reusable for life. It’s a no-brainer for easy lash application when you’re in a rush.
