Looking for a gift set that won’t break the bank and the environment? You’ve come to the right place: I’ve assembled a list of my favorite green beauty gift sets. Some contain makeup, some contain skincare, and some contain a mix, but you’re bound to find one that’s perfect for that special someone.
It’s so important to shop green during this time of year, especially with all the chemical-ridden beauty products out there.
For example, you know those cute scented lotions places like Bath and Body Works sell? Take a look at the ingredients: I guarantee you half of them are chemicals. Not to mention that their scents are completely artificial and are known to cause allergic reactions. The same goes for most products that contain artificial fragrance such as perfume, soap, and air freshener. Whenever I was little I would always wonder why smelling these products caused my nose to have a sneeze-marathon. Now I know why: Fragrance is in them (which is linked to allergies, respiratory distress, and even dermatitis).
This, among other nasty ingredients, can be found in most conventional beauty products you’ll probably get shoved in your face this holiday season. Why you ask? There’s no proper regulation on beauty products: A beauty company can pretty much put whatever they want in their products because they are not required to have FDA approval before selling it to you.
That’s why this gift guide is so important: I made sure to choose only the best, most natural gift sets I could find under $100. None of these gift sets contain any harmful chemicals, and I’ve listed the ingredients in all of them so you can see for yourself. Happy shopping!
