Back-to-School Essentials for Skin, Sports, and Studying

We know something about moms:

You can't fully relax until your kids are ready.

That’s why we created this guide.

Whether you have a daughter asking for her first makeup products, an athlete heading back to practice, or you’re simply trying to survive the back-to-school rush without forgetting yourself in the process — we’ve gathered the non-toxic essentials to support every member of your family.

First Makeup Without Growing Up Too Fast

The “Sephora kids” trend has taken over social media, and many moms are left wondering:

When is it too early for skincare and makeup?

She’s begging to go back-to-school shopping for makeup.

You’re begging her not to grow up too fast.

The good news?

You don’t have to choose between saying yes and protecting her.

You can introduce age-appropriate beauty products that let her explore while still keeping ingredients simple, gentle, and safe.

For when she asks — and you’re ready:

Lip Gloss

Start with a classic clear gloss or the barely-there shade All About Me.

A little sparkle. A little confidence. Nothing overwhelming.

Tinted Lip Balm

Ready for something slightly more grown up?

Tinted Lip Balm offers a little more color than gloss while still keeping things subtle.

Mascara

Eventually, the mascara request will come.

And when the time is right, her first mascara can be a safe one.

Resurfacing Mask

Because study nights and sleepovers are more fun with a little self-care.

Our Resurfacing Mask helps support healthy-looking skin while giving her a chance to slow down, relax, and enjoy the process of caring for herself.

Tallow Lip Love

Every little girl needs something in her purse.

Our Tallow Lip Love is the perfect first beauty staple — completely sheer, deeply hydrating, and safe to ingest (in case she gets curious and takes a bite out of it).

The Student Athlete’s Gym Bag Checklist

Teenagers are going through major changes physically and hormonally, so the products they use every day matter.

For sweat, stink, and sore muscles, these are the non-toxic hygiene staples they need for sports and gym class:

Magnesium Balm

Magnesium Balm is an easy addition to a nighttime routine, helping support relaxation, muscle comfort, and better rest after the physical demands of the day.

Because recovery is just as important as performance.

Extra-Strength Deodorant

Strong body odor shouldn't require harsh ingredients.

Our Extra-Strength Deodorant provides reliable odor protection while staying gentle on sensitive skin.

Dry Shampoo

Some mornings are rushed. Some practices run late. Some hair just needs a refresh.

Dry Shampoo is the quick, convenient solution for post-practice hair when there isn’t time for a full wash.

Charcoal Face Bar

Perfect for acne-prone and oily skin, but gentle enough for dry and combination types, the Charcoal Face Bar supports clearer-looking skin.

Activated charcoal gently cleanses the pores, while tallow locks in moisture.

Mom Deserves Back-to-School Care, Too

You’ve spent weeks making sure everyone else has what they need.

New clothes.
New shoes.
School supplies.
Sports equipment.
Lunch containers.
Schedules organized.

And somehow, moms are usually the last person on the list.

But caring for yourself isn't selfish. It's part of caring for your family. Because moms can only pour out when they have something left to give.

So while you’re shopping for them, consider adding something for you:

Glow Serum + Gua Sha

A few quiet minutes before the day begins or after everyone is finally asleep can make a difference.

Pair our Glow Serum with a Gua Sha routine for a simple ritual that helps you slow down and reconnect with yourself.

Body Oil

Back-to-school mornings are busy.

Even a few moments after a shower to apply Body Oil can turn a rushed routine into a moment of care.

A reminder that you’re more than your to-do list.

Body Polish

Because moms deserve little luxuries, too.

In our Body Polish, sugar helps buff away dead skin cells, while grass-fed tallow and organic shea butter melts into the skin to soften it.
