The feminine urge to gift a body-wash or lotion gift set. Apprenti Ôr’ganik, founded by Alexandrine Pierre, offers handmade products that feature organic, therapeutic ingredients without fillers or synthetics.

Our pick is this lotion scented with woodsy cedarwood and black pepper. Its silky formula has a mix of healthy skin ingredients like aloe vera juice; squalane, a natural emollient that locks in moisture; and chlorella, a vitamin-rich substance. The lotion leaves skin feeling smooth but not greasy, and the minimalist (and compostable) bottles will fit in with any bathroom counter or vanity they adorn.
