Best of 2022: Top 13 (non-Beautycounter) Products of 2022

I was able to spend a lot of time researching and testing products to recommend – both sustainable and safer. So many of these showed up on my 2022 Sustainable Gift Guide & Non-Toxic Wish List for good reason! But, my top favorites from last year are:

Personal Care

1. Vegamour (get 20% off with this link) transformed my hair into healthy, long locks of my dreams! And you all made my routine about it one of the top posts of 2022 so you must agree!
2. These Microfiber Towels became one of my top recommendations to all my skincare clients; in black for removing makeup and a charcoal mask.
3. Ritual multi-vitamins (get 10% off with this link) are the first I’ve ever recommended, based on their safety testing and transparency standards. Learn more on this podcast.

In the Kitchen

1. Sustainable Nontoxic Nonstick Cookware from our guide – Upgrading cookware is a gift people will appreciate everyday, but maybe not splurge on for themselves (360 stainless steel nonstick is 25% off non-toxic cookware with code WHOLEVIEW
2.  Colima Sea Salt (free bag with this link) was the surprise favorite find of the year! I looove salt (podcasted about it here) and this one is the best I’ve ever had – briney, textured, and full of mineral-rich nutrients.

Fashion

1. CozyEarth.com is the gift to give for the person impossible to shop for or if you want to spoil someone, Matt and I are are obsessed with our bamboo sheets and their clothing is on his wishlist after feeling mine while doing laundry! (code WHOLEVIEW for 35% off)

For home & family

1. Stanley Adventurer Tumblers are the absolute best way to get your water in! They’re hard to find, so it will also show your loved one that you cared a lot to find it for them.
2. Biom Biodegradable and Compostable Wipes in a reusable canister is the perfect gift for the eco-conscious person in your life!
3. Boardgames we loved playing with the kids: Everdell and Machi Koro 2
