There’s no better gift than the gift of clean beauty.
And Beautycounter is the current frontrunner in the clean beauty industry! Since its inception in 2013, Beautycounter and founder Gregg Renfrew have made huge improvements to the American beauty scene. By changing legislation and sourcing cleaner, more-mindfully sourced ingredients, their company is making waves to improve and protect the health of Americans. Just Google the company and you’ll find a whole host of articles detailing their achievements.
But this year, I wanted to share something fun with you: a roundup of their holiday collections as well as my current favorite products! This will help you get a jumpstart on your holiday shopping, not to mention help you create your own Christmas wish list. I know there are quite a few products I’m eyeing for December 25th!

She is also a full-time Physical Therapist and a huge supporter of living an active, well-balanced lifestyle. Check out her blog and Instagram!
