Face Cream
Everything Cream by Gender Non Specific
Powered by 23 potent botanicals to hydrate, smooth, and strengthen your skin—leaving it cleaner, clearer, calmer, and more even. Kinda like you after a vacation.
Lip Balm
Cedar & Citrus Lip Salve by Aesop
Chapped lips are never okay. Crafted with a rich blend of plant-based emollients—smoothing, softening, and keeping your pout ready for anything.
Wash
A woodsy scent with a lot of lather, this shower gel will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
SPF
Better Screen™ UV Serum SPF 50+ by Kiehl’s
Yes, being melanated helps us with natural sun protection but SPF helps against sun damage. See the distinction? This invisible SPF brightens, smooths, and blends effortlessly on every skin tone.
Wipes
Cool and Cleansing Wipes - Oars and Alps
Listen, we’re never going to cosign skipping showers (don’t care how many thinkpieces you see), but sometimes you need a quick refresh. Opt for these wipes to refresh after a hot commute or a late night.
