Summer self-care gifts include Botnia SPF, Violette_FR lip balm
These launches solve summer's real problems: Botnia's $68 SPF, Violette_FR's $26 tinted balm, and Touchland's $36 Peanuts duo all gift well.
1. Botnia Skincare Gentle Sun Cream SPF 30
Botnia's $68 sun cream is the SPF gift for the friend who treats sunscreen like skincare, not a chore. The formula uses 18% non-nano zinc oxide plus astaxanthin and calendula, and it was developed with herbalists, skincare scientists, and estheticians in its Sausalito lab and Botnia Atelier after founder Justine Aurora Kahn started working on it in 2020.
2. Beauty of Joseon Dayscreen Lightweight Tinted SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen
At $20, this is the easier-to-give sunscreen for anyone who wants coverage without committing to foundation in July heat. The tinted mineral formula offers lightweight coverage with a pore-blurring finish.
3. Violette_FR Balm Amour Tinted Lip Treatment
Violette_FR's $26 lip treatment is the low-drama gift for the person who is always reapplying balm and wants a little color with it. The tinted extension comes in Rose Latte, Noisette, and Dahlia Noir, and the formula was six years in the making.
4. Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip Oil Stick
Rare Beauty's $25 lip oil stick is the one you buy for someone who wants a swipe-on lip that feels easy in the heat and still looks polished. It combines oil, gloss, and color, and comes in eight shades.
5. Special Edition Peanuts x Touchland Duo
This $36 duo pairs Beach Coco Hand Sanitizer with the new Coco Haze Body & Hair Fragrance Mist for a head-to-toe coconut layering ritual inspired by beach days and salty air.
6. Abbode Monogram Terry Pouch
Abbode's $26 terry pouch has an embroidered monogram and is built for travel, beauty products, and everyday use.
7. Phe Phe Braided Tank
Phe Phe's $48 braided tank is the style gift for someone who wants one easy summer piece instead of another overthought outfit. The brand's Jersey Shore-inspired collection got extra attention around co-founder Brigette's wedding.
8. Clarins Double Serum Eye
Clarins' $86 eye serum is the summer recovery gift for anyone whose under-eyes show every late night and early flight. The formula uses plant extracts plus squalane, niacinamide, and vitamin E to target the eye area.
9. Aveeno Positively Radiant Vitamin C Serum
This $20 serum is a smart gift for sensitive skin types who still want brightening ingredients in their routine. Aveeno's formula uses stabilized vitamin C with oat and niacinamide.
10. Fara Homidi Essential Bronzer Compact
Fara Homidi's $78 bronzer compact is the polished complexion gift for the person who likes warm skin without obvious shimmer. The powder has a cream-like feel and a soft-matte finish.
11. Oribe Hair Alchemy Bond Building Elixir
Oribe's $78 treatment is the hair repair gift for anyone whose strands are fried from sun, color, or hot tools. It is built to repair broken bonds, strengthen fragile hair, and help prevent breakage.
12. Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System
At $349.99, the Shark FlexStyle is the splurge gift for the friend who actually uses a hair tool every week. It curls, smooths, volumizes, and dries with no heat damage.

This $349.99 face mask is the self-care gift for the beauty-tech person who wants a more clinical-looking ritual at home.
14. Shark Beauty FacialPro Glow, Glow-Boosting At-Home Facial System
Shark's $399.99 FacialPro Glow is the biggest-ticket gift here, and it is for the recipient who would rather bring the facial home than book one.
15. Shark Beauty ChillPill: 3-in-1 Cooling System With Fan
At $149.99, ChillPill is the most literal answer to July heat on this list. It is built for a desk, bedroom, or dorm.
16. Shark Beauty Depuffi Instant Hot + Cold Contrast Therapy
Shark's $199.99 Depuffi is the gift for the person who wakes up puffy and wants a fast fix before leaving the house.
17. Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Rice Eau de Parfum
Ellis Brooklyn's $115 Vanilla Rice is the fragrance gift for someone who likes cozy scents that still feel polished in warm weather. The fragrance folds cereal, milk, bergamot, pink pepper, musk, rice, and ambroxan into a soft, creamy scent.
