The Ultimate Guide to Gifting Safer Skincare 2023

The Beautycounter Limited Edition Holiday sets are here and that officially  means it's my favorite time of year! This really is the start of a really fun time in our lives (lots to celebrate) and every time these sets release I just get excited for what’s to come!

One of my favorite things to do for my clients and readers is to create a ton of resources around this collection, in particular,  not only to highlight all the goodness for YOU, but to also help you with your budgeting and gifting this season.

Soooo, without further ado, let’s dive into all the goodness that is Beautycounter’s Limited Edition Holiday Collection 2023!

Why gift Beautycounter this Holiday season?

I always chat about this before I dive in because why?  I think it matters!  Where and how and with who we spend our money with MATTERS.  For the last few years, I’ve been personally focused on seeking out holiday gifts from companies focused on doing more good.  Sometimes that’s making sure those companies are B-Corporations (companies focused on people and the planet), or companies that I know are doing there very best to be as sustainable as possible.What I’d like to acknowledge is that Beautycounter IS a B-corporation - focused on providing safer products for EVERYONE, and ensuring our footprint is as small as possible  when it comes to our impact on this planet. I'm incredibly proud to be a part of this company, the work they do, and couldn't be more excited to give my friends and family the gift of safer products. If you want a full guide to my favorite B-Corporations, you can download that free guide HERE.
