Recyclable packaging is a must these days.

But compostable? Even better. Pangea body care products up the ante with their plantable, pre-seeded packaging. You read that right. You simply remove the labels, soak in water for 1 minute, and plant. If you remember to water your planted packaging, you'll soon have sweet basil and flowering amaranth for very little trouble.

The product inside the packaging is pretty good, too. Made of whole herbal extracts and oils and entirely plant-based, these lotions, creams, scrubs, gels, masks, and toners contain no parabens, petrochemicals, or synthetics. Pangea puts together unusual combinations like Egyptian Geranium with Adzuki Bean & Cranberry and Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry.

The range is available on the Pangea website and at Whole Foods and other natural food stores and pharmacies. Highly recommended. $8-$35.

While you're at it, plant one on him, too.
