Hot gear / healthy goods

This lotion gets skin-soothing power from sea buckthorn berries that are harvested in the Himalayas before dawn to maximize nutrient retention. Sea buckthorn oil is a rich source of omega-7 (aka the omega you haven’t heard of). Omega-7 helps skin regenerate. Sea buckthorn berries also contain eight to 15 times more vitamin C than oranges (whoa!). Speaking of oranges:  did we mention this lotion smells like a balmy citrus grove thanks to orange and lemon essential oil? @sibu_beauty; sibu.com

Mini Lumio+

This “book” is actually an LED lamp … and it charges your phone. (Insert your “illuminated manuscript” jokes here, calligraphy nerds!) If you’ve got a book-loving little one, can you imagine a more magical addition to their room or next backyard campout than this? Because of its pleated accordion design, the “book” opens a full 360 degrees into an orb of light. It’s USB-rechargeable, lightweight and portable. You can crack it open anywhere that’s dim and get some “oohs” and “aahs.” @hellolumio; hellolumio.com

Pacifica Kale Detox Deep Cleaning Face Wash

We’ve had a crush on Portland-based Pacifica for its range of vegan and cruelty-free beauty products for a while. (They infuse stuff with crystals! They have unicorn-forward branding!) This face wash cemented our love. The “kale” touted in its name isn’t just the leaves you love in salads. It also contains blue seakale … plus seaweed and clay working overtime for oily skin. Dubbed a “big fat detox juice for your skin,” it smells good enough to slurp. @pacificabeauty; pacificabeauty.com

FreshPaper

These little sheets of paper infused with organic spices keep produce fresh for longer. We’re talking two to four times longer! A sheet of FreshPaper can be tossed into a bag of spinach. Tucked into the bottom of a carton of berries. Cut into thirds and slipped into clamshells of fresh herbs. We’re stashing them everywhere we’re storing fresh produce! The sheets work for a month and are compostable when you’re done with them. @freshglowco; freshglow.co
