Whether you're shopping for a skincare enthusiast, a wellness-minded friend, or treating yourself to a little seasonal self-care, this year’s Holiday Glow Essentials guide highlights our favourite gifts for brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Glow & Go Party Prep Set
A curated trio designed to bring instant radiance and hydration, Glow & Go is perfect for creating a soft, lit-from-within glow. Inside, you’ll find three of our most loved luminizing essentials to prep and enhance the skin, making it ideal for festive occasions or everyday confidence.
Why it makes a great gift:
- A ready-made set that delivers an easy glow routine—no fuss necessary.
- Ideal for someone who loves to look polished for events or wants to glow effortlessly on a low-key night in.
- Compact size makes it handbag- or travel-friendly (perfect for holiday get-aways).
Gift idea: Gift it to a friend who’s always on the go, or someone gearing up for holiday gatherings—this set brings glowing skin into party-mode!

Face Glow
This illuminating + moisturizing skin primer is a true multitasker in your glow toolbox. Face Glow enhances the skin’s natural luminosity while helping to even tone and soften the appearance of fine lines.
Why it makes a great gift:
- It’s the perfect add-on for someone who already has a solid skincare routine—they might think they have their routine perfect, but Face Glow is a true game changer in any minimal, gentle routine.
- Works for those who love the no-makeup look… but also for those who need a flawless base for their holiday glam.
Gift idea: Pair with a hydrating lippie or a tube of mascara to build them the perfect everyday “no-makeup” makeup routine.
Moon Boost Serum
Moon Boost is our brightening multivitamin serum, infused with a nourishing blend of botanical superfoods rich in vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, as well as torula oil, a truly sustainable biotech ingredient, to support overall skin wellness. Its velvety texture absorbs beautifully, leaving skin looking smooth, supple, and luminous.
Why it makes a great gift:
- Ideal for anyone who enjoys a sensorial skincare experience. We’ve had many compliments on the natural, light citrus and vanilla scent that makes it a delight to apply.
- Helps boost radiance while supporting skin strength and elasticity—all while doing it with ingredients chosen for sensitive skin (we use a gentler vitamin C source, for example).
-
Makes a thoughtful gift for someone with an out-of-control skincare routine who wants to pare it down—this serum is multifunctional, multivitamin goodness.
Gift idea: Pair Moon Boost with another citrus-y gift. We personally love the vanilla + orange scented bar soap and perfume from LoveFresh, but keeping it simple with something like a Terry’s chocolate orange works too!
Phyto Clear
A lightweight gel moisturizer powered by botanically derived retinol-like actives, Phyto Clear refreshes and refines the look of skin texture without the irritation often associated with traditional retinol. It’s ideal for those seeking gentle, effective skin renewal.
Why it makes a great gift:
- Perfect for someone who wants smoother, more refined skin but needs a sensitive-skin-friendly option.
- A great pick for those experiencing hormonal skin shifts or maturing skin needs.
-
The bio-retinols in Phyto Clear renew skin, giving the most gorgeous, natural glow to the skin.
Gift idea: Phyto Clear is packed with clarifying herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage, and parsley. Give the gift of feeding the skin both ways by pairing Phyto Clear with a tasty add-on like this broccoli salad recipe or a container of “Scarborough Fair” herb blend.
Supermoon Serum
Supermoon is our ultra-lightweight water serum designed to hydrate, smooth, and minimize the look of fine lines with its bio-retinol ingredients and soothing botanical extracts. Peptides, collagen, hyaluronic acid? Yep, it’s got it all. Plus, Supermoon delivers high performance without compromising on gentleness.
Why it makes a great gift:
- Excellent for someone who loves high-performance skincare without harshness.
- Layers seamlessly into any routine, making it versatile and universally appealing.
- Perfect for that person who wants their skincare to do a little bit of everything. Supermoon is our multitasking, multi-benefit serum!
Gift idea: Supermoon offers a ton of great hydrating benefits because of the maple sap water in the formula.
For a truly Canadian gift, pair Supermoon with a couple cans or bottles of maple sap water.
Face Foam
Face Foam is our fragrance-free foaming cleanser formulated with natural BHA, bamboo extract, and azelaic acid to help exfoliate the skin and improve texture while respecting the skin barrier. It leaves the skin feeling fresh, comfortable, and balanced.
Why it makes a great gift:
- Great for someone who enjoys a refreshing cleanse without dryness—it gets the job done without stripping the skin.
- A thoughtful everyday essential that supports smoother, clearer, healthier-looking skin.
- Perfect for those with sensitive skin who need a truly fragrance-free, neutral cleanser.
Gift idea: Combine with a funky towel or a unique soap dish to elevate the everyday cleansing ritual into a treat. Even though Face Foam is plain in colour and scent (to purposefully suit those with sensitive skin!), you can level it up with bright, fun add-ons.
Triple Cleanse Bundle: Aloe Milk, Face Foam, and the Bamboo Charcoal Sponge
Give the gift of truly clean, balanced, and refreshed skin with our Triple Cleanse Bundle—a complete three-step cleansing ritual that works harmoniously to support skin clarity, comfort, and glow. Featuring our Aloe Milk Cleanser, Face Foam, and the Bamboo Charcoal Sponge, this bundle makes a beautifully thoughtful gift for anyone who wants fresh, clean, radiant skin.
Why it makes a great gift:
- Cleansing is the foundation of radiant skin; this set turns a simple step into a true glow ritual that makes daily skincare feel luxurious—and delivers visible results.
- The idea of a “double cleanse” has been popular amongst skincare enthusiasts for a while now. Go the extra mile for a skincare-savvy giftee—it’s not a double cleanse, it’s a triple.
- Great for wellness-minded users who appreciate a fresh, balanced complexion.
Gift idea: When it’s time to cleanse, most of us like to tie our hair back so it doesn’t get in our faces. Pairing this cleansing bundle with a soft headband to keep hair back goes the extra thoughtful mile!

Body Bundle: All Over Soap, All Over Lotion, and Intimacy Oil
Our Body Bundle is a complete, head-to-toe nourishment system designed to elevate everyday body care into something indulgent and truly skin-loving. All together, they promote softness, hydration, and smooth skin.
Why it makes a great gift:
- This isn’t just “another body lotion”—it’s a full head-to-toe ritual that mirrors the sophistication of face care, with oils and botanicals you’d normally only find in premium facial formulas.
- For the person who already invests in their face routine or is starting to upgrade their body care, this bundle gives them luxe formulas and a complete routine in one thoughtful package.
- The combination of soap + lotion + oil means you’ve built a mini-system; gifting this shows that you’ve thought about their skin’s journey, not just grabbed a single bottle.
Gift idea: Pair this bundle with a fuzzy robe for a complete “spa-at-home” moment—perfect for your busy loved ones who deserve a restorative ritual during the holiday season.

Bamboo Charcoal Sponge
This handy exfoliating and cleansing tool is made with 100% biodegradable konjac plant fiber infused with bamboo charcoal. It’s designed to gently cleanse, detoxify pores, and smooth the skin—even for sensitive types.
Why it makes a great gift:
- The sponge makes a great stocking stuffer or add-on gift that still feels meaningful without being extravagant.
- The biodegradable, plant-based make-up aligns beautifully with sustainable skincare values, making it a perfect pick for eco-conscious recipients.
- The sponge is perfect for someone who appreciates details—it’s a small upgrade that their daily skincare ritual will genuinely benefit from.
Gift idea: Pair it with a soap dish so the sponge has a place to properly dry—and so it looks extra chic on your loved one’s bathroom counter.
