It includes emollient balm in pineapple mint, natural mint and shea butter, and shea butter and vitamin E flavors, all with SPF 25 protection. Encourage the dad you’re gifting to keep one handy all the time (it’ll fit nicely in his pocket) to get the soft lip benefits faster.

$20.99 at Amazon
Have beard, must brush. Seriously — regular brushing keeps a beard detangled, and spreads the skin’s natural oils throughout the beard to keep it smooth. This brush is made from pear wood, with three bristle options: boar firm, boar soft, or vegan firm. Boar firm is best for long and thick beards, boar soft is best for sparser beards and sensitive skin, and vegan offers a plant-based alternative.

Bravo Sierra Body Wash
This gel-to-cream, coconut-derived body wash is gentle enough that it’s fine to use multiple times a day, making it an ideal gift for the dad who’s an athlete or whose job requires an extra shower. As an added bonus, Bravo Sierra donates a portion of each sale to support U.S. military veterans.

Wonder Valley Hinoki Body Wash
$34 at Amazon
Wonder Valley is not just a purveyor of skin care; they also make their own olive oil.

This body wash works well for all skin types and is free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and artificial dyes.

Another body moisturizing option, coming right up. Malin + Goetz was founded by two men in 2004, and makes a large line of effective, attractive products. With a slightly higher price tag, this comes in a fancier-looking package and uses shea butter, radish root ferment, and oat. It also absorbs quickly and keeps skin moisturized all day.
Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel
Extremely dry skin can be hard to manage with just moisturizer. That’s where this gel, which targets the top layer of the skin and works to soothe and restore moisture, comes in. Without alcohol, sulfates, parabens, or phthalates, this product isn’t harsh or painful, and combined with moisturizer, it makes a real difference for dry skin. PSA: A little goes a long way, so the relatively small jar should last for a while.
Drunk Elephant Wonderwild Miracle Butter
When it comes to skin, there are certain body parts that require a concentrated effort, and dry elbows, cracked heels, and windburned cheeks rank high among them. This product, which is made with restorative plant butters, is designed specifically to heal those hard-to-fix spots.

$14.39 at Amazon
$15.99Now 10% Off
Dry, cracked feet can feel like a forever condition that’s impossible to solve. This cream works to remove dead skin and soften feet by increasing moisture and dissolving keratin, which helps the dead skin cells fall off. Of note, urea is a powerful organic compound, and 40 percent is the highest concentration it comes in (and it should not be used on the face).
Derm Dude Foot File & Heel Repair Tool
$12 at Amazon
For a real one-two punch, combine the cream above with this kit and let the foot healing begin.

We’ve already sung this brand’s praises, but we really do love them, and for a dad who travels frequently, you can’t go wrong with this all-in-one kit. It includes a grapefruit face cleanser, vitamin E face moisturizer, bergamot hand and body wash, vitamin B5 body moisturizer, cilantro hair conditioner, and peppermint shampoo. With this in his dopp kit, he’ll have everything he needs for his face, hair, and body at the ready — and he’ll leave his hotel room every morning looking (and feeling) like a million bucks.
