Daughter of the Land | CBD Bath Soak
Packaging? 100% compostable. Printing? Entirely done with vegetable ink. And the inner bag? Well, that’s made of renewable wood pulp. That should say enough about why this one made the list. Daughter of the Land uses 100% organic, fair trade ingredients.
The calming essence of lavender fields after the rain is paired with floral notes of Vetiver and 10mg of Full Spectrum CBD in this other-worldly bath soak. This one’s a no-brainer for Valentine’s Day. And worth adding an extra one to your cart to gift yourself! Or, go for the full monty with their curated Bath Soaks Gift Set.

Their goal is pretty on point with our own: to preserve and protect our planet (and parks, specifically) for the generations to come.
And their Yellowstone Geysers Sherpa Fanny Pack is just icing on the cake. Built for any adventure, and made using 100% recycled polyester sherpa.
