Support eco-friendly wellness products--and a new Asian American Pacific Islander-owned beauty brand--by purchasing Selfmade True Grit Resilience Scrub. Unlike harsher exfoliants, this product won’t damage your sensitive skin. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free--and made without any micro-plastics. Plus, the encouraging messaging on the side of the bottle, “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” will spark some positive thoughts during your morning shower.

Searching for an eco-friendly yoga mat? Consider this one from Ashtaluxe. These mats, which are made in limited batches by a small business, are created with the lowest carbon footprint possible. A win for your environmental footprint--and your practice. If you prefer a yoga mat with more grip, cushion, and support, this is a great one to support your practice, while simultaneously protecting your joints. Ashtaluxe LuxeGrip(tm) Yoga Mat, $99

Mache I Am Yoga Homi Tube

Instead of leaving your mat stuffed in a corner (yes, we see you) or shoved under your bed, store it in a practical and beautiful tube. This tube is made with sustainable materials--and without any harmful heavy metals and chemicals. Additionally, Mache prioritizes the long-term sustainability of its products, ensuring your tube will last through years of use. We love the special collaboration print for the “I Am Yoga” tube, designed with Harmony Willow Studio in Brooklyn, New York. Mache I Am Yoga Homi Tube, $108
