Beauty Gifts That Give Back

November 26, 2020

From stocking stuffers to grand-gesture gift sets, these beauty brands make holiday gifting an extra feel-good experience. —Jeanine Gordon

Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. Partnering with Foundation of Stars, $5 of every sale of Kiehl’s must-have hand cream goes towards furthering pediatric research in Canada. Tuck a tube of Ultimate Strength Hand Salve ($21 from kiehls.ca) into anyone’s stocking to protect dry hands from all that hand-washing and our cold Canadian winters.

Cheekbone Beauty Pink Pop Warrior Woman Lipstick Trio. Slip a threesome of pretty pink liquid lipsticks ($87 from cheekbonebeauty.ca) under the tree for the beauty-addict in your life. These three rosy-hued lipsticks from this Indigenous-owned brand donate 10% of their sales to Shannen’s Dream—a charity dedicated to empowering Indigenous youth.

L’Occitane en Provence Lavender Collection. Give the gift of a hot bubble bath and a dreamy night’s sleep with this gift box that includes everything from exfoliating soap to body lotion to calming pillow mist ($89 at loccitane.com). The best part about checking this gift off your list is knowing that for every purchase, L’Occitane en Provence plants a tree on Canadian soil.

Fancy Face Give Love Lipstick. Pucker up to this present from Fancy Face—their “Give Love” matte lipstick in a classic red shade that’s perfect for a bold holiday lip ($40 at fancyface.ca). Even more reason for you and your lucky recipient to smile? With each lipstick sold, Fancy Face donates one tote bag of women’s essential items to Hope Totes, an organization that works with women’s shelters across Canada.

Attitude Super Leaves Hand Sanitizer. Let’s keep it real—everyone is getting hand sanitizer in their stocking this year, so why not make it natural, Canadian, and for a good cause? We love this Lemon Leaves hand sanitizer spray (from $5.95 from Attitude) that banishes bacteria, has a fresh citrus-cucumber scent, and is re-fillable to boot. Best yet, Attitude plants a tree with every purchase.
