All products featured on No Kill Mag are independently selected by our writers or editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

The holiday season is one of the hardest times to cut down on waste. All the packaging from online orders, the packaging of the gift itself and of course, wrapping paper. But it’s doable, and with our gift lists you can keep your footprint small while still getting the perfect present.

The beauty lover in your life, whether they’re a skincare junkie, makeup artist or just taking care of their body, will be happy to find one of these clean beauty, low waste and natural products in their (recyclable!) gift box this year. And all makeup shown works for all skintones.


Zero Waste Starter Set | Plaine Products

Give a gift that’s good for them and the planet. We at No Kill Mag are slightly obsessed with this zero waste brand!

The bathroom seems to accumulate more single use plastic than any other room in the house! This hand wash and lotion provide great plastic-free alternatives to ease people into a lower waste lifestyle. The travel sized shampoo and conditioner are great for being on the road or giving Plaine Products a try for the first time. This set includes a 16oz hand wash and body lotion for the counter and TSA approved shampoo and conditioner travel size bottles in either a rosemary mint vanilla or citrus lavender scent.

Kate Mcleod Balance Face Stone Starter Set

This plant-powered solid blend of Kokum Butter, Tamanu Oil, and Blue Tansy Oil will melt into your skin as it deeply nourishes and locks in moisture. Perfect for combatting dry, winter weather, it soothes irritation and inflammation while reducing redness.

This set is entirely plastic-free and waterless, including a glass jar to keep your new face stone in!

A complete skincare ritual for your most transcendent skin. This four-piece collection contains all the elements to cleanse, tone, and treat your optimal skin barrier along with moisturizing your lips — with highly sensorial, cruelty-free, and vegan ingredients made in South Korea.


Shea body butter | hanahana beautY

This cult-favorite formula features a blend of ethically and sustainably sourced, natural ingredients. This Ghanaian harvested Shea Butter is paired with cocoa and mango butters that aid in the formula’s rich and creamy texture that help to deeply nourish and condition the skin.

The proprietary blend of fruit derived oils leaves  the skin feeling soft, silky + smooth all day and night. The result- a body butter that does the body and soul good + keeps the ash away! All are handcrafted in small batches and delivered to you in reusable glass jars.


Moongarden Vegan Eyeshadow Palette | KVD Beauty

Another great gift is this shadow palette from KVD Beauty. 12 high-pigment vegan eyeshadows in a limited-edition palette decked out in custom artwork by tattoo artist Miryam Lumpini.  Never tested on animals, this palette is also fully recyclable – the insert goes into plastic recycling while the exterior is a solid cardboard so goes with paper.


Crown Affair The Healthy Hair Value Set

Protect and hydrate your hair with this healthy hair duo! Featuring Crown Affair’s leave-in conditioner designed for all hair types, it’s sure to nourish, protect and reduces frizz!

The towel protects hair while speeding up dry time thanks to the custom waffle knit microfiber design, perfectly shaped to wrap hair of all lengths and secure it into place with elastic strap to comfortably keep things in place.

Of the Earth Lip-to-Lid Trio Axiology

Axiology Of the Earth Lip-to-Lid Trio is a versatile and eco-friendly product that can be used on the eyes, lips, and cheeks. We recommend it for its hint of shimmer or color, perfect warm blush tones, and nourishing balm-like texture.

Wanting to do their part to improve the health of the planet, Axiology was determined to keep litter off the streets of Bali and employed local women to gather and re-purpose trash – turning it into packaging for their own products.

Heads up: This zero waste product appears small because it’s tube and cap-free but it’s the standard lipstick size at .12 oz. They come wrapped in paper and rest in a recyclable carrying case that’s made from up-cycled materials.


Plastic Free scrunchies | Zero Waste Scrunchies

What happens when you take the world’s best selling plastic-free hair ties and wrap them in soft-as-silk organic cotton? The world’s first 100% fair trade, zero waste Scrunchies – and a new favorite accessory!  

Every detail has been considered in the design of these scrunchies – from how the materials are grown (using only textiles from the earth) to how they are made (using only fair trade labor) to how much scrunch (an art and a science) to how they pair with your wardrobe (teaser: every color will work). The biodegradable Scrunchies are oh-so-gentle on your hair yet strong enough to hold all day long, even during your Spin class


Lisa Eldridge Rouge Experience Refillable Lipstick

This new lipstick from Lisa Eldrige has been in development for five years and is set to be the next innovation in beauty!

This next-level refillable lipstick features a component that is 100% plastic-free, thanks to a recyclable, mono-material refill made entirely of aluminum. The lightweight, creamy lipstick formula is available in 8 refillable shades with a soft, luminous sheen and lip-smoothing blur.


Viori Hair Shampoo & Conditioner Bar with Bamboo Holder Set

This cheerful quad is sure to delight featuring Viori’s shampoo and conditioner bars with two bamboo holders.

All Viori products are 100 percent vegan, plastic-free, pH balanced, and cruelty-free, as well as sustainably and ethically sourced, and made without sulfates, parabens, or phthalates!


Jones Road The Lip Kit

This holiday set from Jones Road is the ultimate your lips, but better kit! Complete with a lip liner, lip tint, and cool gloss, it’s perfect for taking on the go!

The brand from makeup connoisseur Bobbi Brown features clean, strategic, high-grade formulations that work on every skin type and tone- a must have in today’s beauty industry.


Gift Box | Love Goodly

Okay, we were kind of on the fence about recommending a gift box subscription but this one is vegan, nontoxic, eco-friendly, organic and gives back to a charity –like our fave Farm Sanctuary. You can gift a single box or up to a 1 year subscription. If your friend or SO is a major beauty junkie this might be the ultimate gift!
