The must-have
A clear lip balm is a standard beauty item for everyone, and this one boasts the matte look he's always asking for. It's shine-free, non-sticky and full of hydrating and nurturing ingredients, like beeswax and vitamin E, that soothe and heal dry and chapped lips. Extra points for the graphic packaging and the fact that this comes as a 4 pack, so he's covered for loss and misplacement.

The 2-in-1
A necessary upgrade for the bearded gentleman who's currently using a facial cleanser that doesn't take facial hair into account — or worse, no cleanser at all. This award-winning gentle formula breaks down buildup, softens hair and boosts shine. It's also vegan and cruelty-free, so you can feel good about gifting it.
