Holiday gift-giving can feel like a balancing act. You want to give gifts that everyone will love, but you don’t want to sacrifice your ethics, and you def can’t stray from your budget.

Luckily, there are clean beauty brands that are doing more to give you peace of mind this holiday season. They’re organic, ethical, and affordable! The kicker? You can give while giving back, as some of these products help fund the organizations dedicated to making positive changes in the world around us.

These brands prove that quality & sustainability can go hand in hand.

Here’s a list of my favorite products and holiday deals that check all the boxes:

Allure Allure

Biossance Biossance

This dazzling line of skincare products is “effective and safe without harming the environment or animals.”

They go the extra mile when it comes to protecting sharks. Sharks are hunted for the beauty product agent squalene. To combat this endangerment of sharks, Biossance has created a vegan alternative: squalane.

All of their packaging is completely recyclable, and Biossance even takes a step further by “plant[ing] trees and fund[ing] reforestation efforts” as part of their sustainability strategy.

They also partner with organizations that represent important social causes, such as Black Lives Matter, Oceana, and Direct Relief.

This skincare brand takes clean to the next level. With every batch hand-made in california, their products are gentle on your skin and the planet.

Activist products are vegan (aside from sunscreens), and cruelty free. The company carefully selects their ingredients, partners, and packaging.

When it comes to vendors and partnerships, Activist “prioritizes women and people of color.”
