Your mom has probably already told you this, but the secret to aging gracefully is money (sorry) and moisturizing. So give her some of that. This neutral blend of coconut, jojoba, castor, and argan oil is scented with light and lovely essential oils like palo santo and geranium, and our staffers have been drenching themselves in it for years. It hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy, and its warm, slightly sweet, beguiling scent lingers but doesn’t call too much attention to itself (an unscented version is also available). The simple, minimally adorned bottle is attractive enough to leave out next to the sink or tub. But if your mom wants to keep it all for herself, we endorse that, too. Though the smaller sizes cost under $25 and the 8-oz bottle shatters our price ceiling at about $52, the larger size is the better value.
