Guest-Room Beauty Essentials

Guest-Room Beauty Essentials

Building out our goop Guest Room Shop got us thinking: Trying out new beauty products when we stay over at someone’s house is seriously fun, and an incredible way to discover new things that we may never have purchased without testing. It’s next-level medicine-chest snooping and next-level product sampling, all in one.

And since even the biggest clean-beauty skeptics convert once they actually try, say, the face wipes from Ursa Major, or the watermelon-and-vanilla lip balm from Grown Alchemist, stocking the guest bathroom with non-toxic products can actually help spread the good word.

Regardless, the best guest room products come in single-serving packages, or easily-sharable tubes (as opposed to a pot, where multiple people might find themselves dipping into the same product), so we’ve taken that into consideration here, along with a neither-too-feminine-nor-masculine aesthetic, so everybody’s happy:

PURE ATMOSPHERE

• 

  A scent of cool air, pale sun, new life unfurling on the forest floor, this mystical candle channels the energy of spring: sensual heat against cool, damp air. Shiso

  leaf (also known as perilla) is the unexpected star of this scent: It
  has a slightly spicy/fresh characteristic that’s green, earthy, and
  delicate all at once. Its complex simplicity is similar to Ikebana,
  the art of Japanese floral composition: The shiso note is closely
  hinged on the other notes, so the scent begins simply and then
  slowly opens up into spicy greens, crushed stems, and ancient
  exotic woods.

• 

  This nourishing, potent miracle oil sinks
  instantly into skin and starts to work. Made
  with a pure blend of organic oils, it leaves skin
  remarkably supple, soft, and glowing. It
  turbo-charges any moisturizer, but also
  hydrates beautifully on its own. It can even
  be patted on over makeup for a midday
  pick-me-up. The Enriching Face Oil is

MOISTURIZING LIP BALM WITH
A FANTASTIC SCENT

• Made with purified watermelon extract, rose
  hip, jojoba, and sweet almond oils, and shea
  butter, this everyday lip essential is incredibly
  moisturizing—amazing for serious dry or cold
  climates. Healing fatty acids visibly improve
  lips’ texture, while antioxidants nourish. All
  ingredients are bioactive and certified
  organic..e.g., good enough to eat.

DELIGHTS-EVERYONE SHOWER

• 

  Made with organic geranium and
  peppermint essential oils, this honey-like
  wash uplifts the mood—perfect for a
  de-stressing bubble bath or refreshing
  shower. Made of only nine pure
  ingredients, it’s blessedly gentle
  enough for sensitive skin.

AMAZING SINGLE-SERVING WIPES

• 

  The company’s miracle 4-1
  Face Tonic formula is infused
  into each individually-wrapped
  bamboo-cloth face wipe—use
  as a pH-balancing cleanser,
  gentle-but-powerful exfoliant,

  potent skin-healer, and firming hydrator, for all skin types. The
  wipes smell subtly of orange, fir, and lavender—refreshing after
  the gym, beautiful for taking off makeup, life-changing for
  the breakout-prone.

• 

  Try clean, refreshing Cocofloss
  once, truly, and you’ll be forever
  ruined for regular floss. Never
  mind its non-toxicity and social

  impact, it’s simply better than anything we’ve tried–ever.
  Created by two Bay Area sisters, one a dentist, the other an
  artist, Cocofloss is thick, yet glides smoothly between your
  teeth, is strong but flexible, and just feels—fantastic,
  transforming a chore into a pleasure. The floss has the faintest
  hint of the coconut oil its infused with, and the mint scent is
  especially fresh and invigorating.

HAIR PERFECTION

• True Nature’s shampoo/conditioner
  set packages together two of goop’s
  favorite hair care products. Both the
  shampoo and conditioner smell

  absolutely amazing, are extremely nourishing, and completely
  toxin-free. The scent is a refreshing mix of lemon and orange
  peel oils, ylang ylang flower oil, sweet violet extract, and mimosa
  tenuiflora bark extract. Bonus: The subtle silver tone of the
  bottles makes this a stunning combination on any shower ledge.

• 

  Sleek and softly, subtly matte, this daily
  moisturizer is super-charged with sun
  protection—a full, nontoxic (to people and
  to coral) SPF 50 that sinks in so easily.

  Amazing on its own, over makeup, on the backs of your
  hands…we keep one in the makeup bag and one in the glove
  compartment for emergency sun situations.

ULTRA-HYDRATING CREAM THAT SMELLS INCREDIBLE

• It smells fantastic, feels incredible, and
  moisturizes like crazy, leaving skin deeply
  nourished. Antioxidants and botanical
  extracts increase elasticity, firmness, and

• 

  This gorgeous ceramic aromatherapy oil
  diffuser is handcrafted in Taiwan and
  works as a stunningly simple piece of
  home decor at the same time that it
  softly streams essential-oil-infused

  steam out into any room. Use it simply to nontoxically fragrance
  your environment, or use it to treat everything from colds to low
  energy with essential oils. Ingeniously, it’s got longevity and
  safety off-switches, so it’s worry free. One of the most gentle,
  beautiful, life-enhancing ways to detoxify we know.

CHICEST TOOTHPASTE ON
THE PLANET

KEEP A STACK OF THESE HANDY

• This brush is amazing for preventing bad breath
  and thoroughly cleansing teeth and your whole
  mouth. Made with Binchotan charcoal-infused
  bristles, so it super-deodorizes and helps remove
  plaque, the brush’s natural antibacterial,
