So you didn't make it onto Jessica Alba's holiday gift list this year. That's probably to be expected (unless, of course, your name is Cash Warren), but that doesn't mean you can't still get in on the clean, eco-conscious, and just-plain-good beauty gifts on her radar this holiday season.
"I'm all about gifting with a purpose for every generation," Alba told POPSUGAR. That's why we worked with the actress, philanthropist, and Honest Beauty founder to curate your ultimate guide to presents "that make a positive impact on the environment and community" — for everyone on your list. It may not be an all-access pass to Alba's house for Christmas dinner, but the beauty gifts ahead will leave someone feeling like a superstar all the same.
Lord Jones High CBD Formula Chill Balm
Know who'd really appreciate the gift of zen? Your parents. "I like to use the holidays as an opportunity to remind my mama why she's number one (and a great grandma, too)," Alba said. "Go all out for yours this year, because she deserves it." Her pick for doing so: the cruelty-free Lord Jones High CBD Formula Chill Balm ($75), which is formulated without formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, sulphates, synthetic dyes, and synthetic fragrance.
The Little Market Love & Light Curated Gift Bag
"The Little Market creates adorable gift sets with a purpose all year round," Alba said. "The Love & Light Curated Gift Bag ($46) is handmade by female artisans at CORR — The Jute Works in Bangladesh. The candle is hand-poured by female refugees at Prosperity Candle in the US."
Causebox Socially-Conscious Monthly Subscription
The Causebox Socially-Conscious Monthly Subscription ($50) isn't just one gift you give during the holidays; it's also one that keeps giving throughout the year. "The products support women and female entrepreneurs and focus on community-focussed, ethically made, environmentally conscious, impact-driven products," Alba said. "I wanted to pick [a gift] that my homegirls would love. I'm always looking for special inspiration to empower them."
The Honest Company Holiday Rouge Lip Colour Trio
"The Honest Company Holiday Rouge Lip Colour Trio ($30) features our three fave shades to go from holiday partayyy all the way through Valentine's Day date night — because now is the season to go rich with your lips," she said.
ManiMe Stick-On Gels
If you're looking for the perfect gift for the teen in your life, Alba's got you: "Choosing presents for these angels can be a bit . . . challenging," she said. "Kids change their minds and their looks constantly, so the ManiMe Stick-On Gels ($20 and up) are a stress-free way to keep it fun."

The Little Market Spa Gift Set
Each product in The Little Market Spa Gift Set ($76) has been crafted with good intentions: the soap is made by women transitioning out of homelessness and working with MADE in conjunction with the Downtown Women's Centre in LA; the salt and sugar scrub is hand-blended by young mothers at Bright Endeavours; and even the gift box is made from recycled materials.
Palermo Body All Natural Enlivening Aromatherapy Oil
This gift goes out to all the expecting mothers out there: Palermo Body All Natural Enlivening Aromatherapy Oil ($20). "Scent has had all kinds of beneficial uses for thousands of years, and this is a great natural way to energize — you'll need it," Alba said.
Nailmatic Water-Based Nail Polish Set
Alba said she plans to give plenty of gift kits from the plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free brand Nailmatic, because "when you're staying out of nail salons, it doesn't mean you give up on your glam," Alba said. We especially like the pretty pastel colours in the Water-Based Nail Polish Set ($26).
The Honest Company Clean Glow Starter Kit
The Honest Company Clean Glow Starter Kit ($50) contains "our bestselling skincare staples in one ready-to-gift (or treat yo'self) starter kit," she said.
Maha Living Self Care Crystal Kit
For new parents — who Alba knows "have a lot on their plate" — get them a little self-care reminder like the Maha Living Self Care Crystal Kit ($25).
The Little Market Soaking Salt Flight
"The powerful women in your life deserve to look and feel their best," Alba said. "Help keep them going with gifts they'll definitely use, like this The Little Market Soaking Salt Flight ($84)."
The Honest Company Gently Nourishing Bathtime Routine
"I always tell my girls they have no idea how much cooler kids' stuff is nowadays," Alba said. This truth even extends to beauty – just look at the The Honest Company Gently Nourishing Bathtime Routine ($42), which "leaves skin feeling supremely soft and fresh."
