Plus, the reef-friendly sunscreen is formulated without oxybenzone, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances—so it’s good for your skin as well as the environment.

Coalatree Baseline Midlayer
Made with fibers created from recycled coffee grounds and plastic bottles, Coalatree’s innovative mid-layer is the perfect gift option for the vegan hiker or runner on your list.

In addition, it’s colored with waterless dyes, saving thousands of gallons of water throughout production. The eco-friendly design, however, doesn’t sacrifice functionality and comfort. Its super soft and durable honeycomb fabric is antimicrobial, water-resistant and breathable enough for daily use. The lightweight jacket also features hidden pockets to safely stash valuables and a carabiner loop, making it easy to attach it to your bag. (* current price at the time of publishing)
