Gender-neutral beauty products to gift everyone this holiday season
The holidays are quickly approaching, and we’re scrambling to find gifts for the people in our lives, from white elephant gifts to TSA-approved gifts you can travel with, stocking stuffers, and treat-yo-self fashion finds, we’re all shopping like mad. If you’re looking for gender-neutral beauty products to gift anyone and everyone, we’ve got you covered! Let’s start by clarifying that all beauty products can be used by all genders—lipstick doesn’t have a gender—but some brands are taking extra steps to market their makeup and skincare as unisex and to communicate that they cater to everyone, including cis women, cis men, and gender non-conforming, non-binary, gender-fluid, and transgender individuals.
See below for a list of beauty products from gender-inclusive brands—from fragrances and foundations to lipsticks and cleansers. Happy shopping!

This fragrance has notes of wasabi, sandalwood, and mimosa—a combination that creates an electrifying floral essence that strikes the perfect note between traditional masculine and feminine scents. Plus, the fragrance bottle is squishy—we love squishy.
2Fluide Universal Gloss
Use this gloss as a highlighter or eyeshadow, and add it wherever you want to see a pop of glow, like on your cheekbones and collarbone.
