Whether they’re a regular gym rat or a Pilates princess, giving the gift of a foam roller to the fitness buff in your life is a great way to help bring relief to sore or stiff body parts. Made with wave-like ridges, this full-size foam roller delivers a gentle massage anywhere it’s needed. But it’s also good for the planet. While the core is made from recycled materials, the spongy outer layer was crafted with Bloom Algae Foam. Even though algae has innumerable benefits for underwater ecosystems like acting as a carbon sink, too much is actually a bad thing, consuming too much oxygen and blocking out light. With climate change triggering global algae forests to run rampant, Bloom harvests overgrown ocean algae to help keep ecosystems in balance. They turn the excess into algae foam and other production-ready materials.

One would not think that a lotion made from lobsters — whose tough exoskeleton doesn’t exactly scream soft skin — would deliver smooth, silky results. But it does. Made from marine glycoproteins, which lobsters use to regrow limbs, this boundary-pushing hydration cream from Maine-based, woman-cofounded skincare company Marin makes use of this innovative ingredient to repair the skin barrier. The result is an ultra-hydrating product perfect for those suffering from dry skin or conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, and it also allows these glycoproteins — which are a natural byproduct of lobster processing and are usually discarded — to be upcycled and put to use. Their lip treatments, which come in cozy flavors like blueberry french toast and s’mores, also make for great stocking stuffers.

When out on ocean adventures, you want a sunscreen that’ll both protect your skin and not leach harmful chemicals into the water that kill off coral reefs. Vetted by trusted organizations like the Coral Reef Alliance, Project Reef ticks all the right boxes with its natural, cruelty-free, and vegan mineral sunscreens. Instead of a lengthy list of unrecognizable chemicals, there are just three ingredients: reef-safe non-nano zino, coconut oil, and natural fruit extracts. Project Reef also participates in beach cleanups and partners with other organizations on environmental projects like restoring and protecting coastal landscapes and ecosystems.

When most people think about single-use plastics, their mind immediately goes to plastic bottles. But haircare products like shampoo and conditioner are another great example — used once and when empty, discarded. These shampoo and conditioner bars are a fantastic, plastic-free alternative, coming in recyclable packaging and made with natural ingredients like rice protein and B5 vitamins. The bars contain the equivalent of 4 ½ bottles of standard liquid product and reduce water waste thanks to their concentrated form. From moisturizing to repairing damaged hair, different kits target different haircare needs as well.

All Axiology makeup boxes are made with trash collected and upcycled into packaging by a women’s collective in Bali, which benefits the island ecosystem by reducing waste and provides economic opportunities and stable work for women. This bundle comes with a mix of products for all sorts of makeup needs including lip balms, highlighters, eyeshadow, contour sticks, and more, all in a cute reusable bag.
