Get ready to celebrate your mom. This Mother’s Day, pamper her by choosing from an array of healthier skin care products, makeup and fragrances.
To help, we’ve compiled a list of gift recommendations bearing the EWG VERIFIED® mark. You can be confident that personal care products you give your mom with this mark are free from EWG’s chemicals of concern and meet our strictest standards for your health.
Skin care
Spoil your mom this Mother’s Day with something that will make her glow on the inside and out. These skin care products meet EWG’s rigorous health standards:
- Biossance Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser
- KORA Organics Turmeric Brightening and Exfoliating Mask
- True Botanicals Renew Chebula Active Serum
- DIME Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum
- Alder New York Nourishing Cream
- JUICE BEAUTY Stem Cellular Vinifera Replenishing Oil
Fragrance
Fragrance can be peak luxury pampering. But it can be tricky to find a fragrance that avoids harmful ingredients. A toxic cocktail of up to thousands of ingredients may be hiding behind the words “fragrance” and “parfum.” And they don’t need to be disclosed on the label. But we’ve got you covered with options that are safe to give your mom, including:
Cosmetics
Take Mother’s Day to the next level by adding cosmetics to your gift. Makeup can often contain an array of harmful chemicals – “waterproof” mascara and “long-lasting” lipstick, for instance, may contain the “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. Parabens are often used as preservatives. But you know a product isn’t made with any of those potentially harmful ingredients if it bears the EWG VERIFIED mark.
