Snag Alicia Keys’ favorite gifts for moms & mentors, just in time for Mother’s Day on May 11.
– KEYS SOULCARE
Nurturing and uplifting others is a skill moms, mentors, and lightworkers have down pat. They spend so much time and energy making it possible for us to thrive. In the hustle and bustle of taking care of those around them, we think of this holiday as a moment to pause, reflect, and consider the impact of all the meaningful caregivers in your life.
Bring the luxe spa day directly to her with these relaxing gifts designed to pamper, appreciate, and ground her in meaningful daily care and nourishment.
This Mother’s Day, opt for thoughtful soulcare with this Alicia-approved gift guide for all the mamas & mentors on your list. These unique skincare gifts for mom (and your favorite mentor or helper) celebrate self-care and relaxation, from aromatherapy to dermatologist-developed skincare.
Each soulcare offering in this guide includes a daily affirmation to uplift the moms and mentors in your life. Paired with a gift, these simple phrases will guide her intentions on Mother’s Day and beyond — like: “I am good to myself” or “I put myself first.”
5 UNIQUE MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS FOR SELF-CARE
1. SAGE + OAT MILK CANDLE
Diapers, dinners, meetings, giving priceless advice, and holding space during hard moments…the mothers in our lives do a lot in their day to day. They deserve a little aromatherapy and what better way to breathe in ease after a long day than with our OG offering, the Sage + Oat Milk candle?
There’s a reason why the Mother’s Day candle remains a classic gift for celebrating mom. This thoughtful gift has the soul-satisfying scent of clean, calming sage and sweet oats to soothe every supermom throughout her busy day. Help her shine at full wattage in full or votive sizes. Prepare in a Mother’s Day gift basket with other self care gifts — like a sleep mask, diffuser, silk pillowcase, or gift card — that’ll feel like a splurge to her but still fit the budget for you.
This offering’s affirmation: “I shine at full wattage.”
2. GOLDEN FACE CLEANSER WITH MANUKA HONEY

It’s a universal truth — not just for moms! — that, after a long day, there’s nothing better than taking a 5-minute break to wash your face and remind yourself that you are enough. Enhance her end-of-evening ritual with Golden Cleanser, a gentle daily cleanser formulated with glycerin plus Manuka honey and chamomile to melt away makeup while soothing and nourishing the skin. This short-but-sweet personal ceremony creates a moment of mindfulness in gratitude in the everyday.
This offering’s affirmation: “I am devoted to this moment.”
3. PROTECT YOUR LIGHT SPF
Remember when your mom would remind you not to forget your keys, lunch, or homework? Now’s your time to remind her to layer up on SPF. Protect Your Light is the daily moisturizing broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection your mom deserves with niacinamide plus squalane. The non-greasy feeling formula leaves no icky white cast to keep mom glowing, regardless of skin tone. So lightweight and effective that your mom won’t mind the ‘“don’t-forget-to-reapply” texts.
This offering’s affirmation: “I protect my inner light.”
4. TRULY BECOMING MULTI-BENEFIT PEPTIDE SERUM

A multi-benefit fave for your favorite multitasking mama, Truly Becoming Peptide Serum became an instant Keys Soulcare top-seller because of its clinically proven power to help improve the appearance of skin thanks to a potent blend of polypeptides, multi-weight hyaluronic acid, and marine bamboo.
In fact, 100% of test subjects in a clinical study showed an immediate increase in skin’s moisture. This offering is all about rising above the noise to radiate with the grace and timeless beauty our mothers give us.
This offering’s affirmation: “I rise above.”
5. SKIN TRANSFORMATION FACE CREAM WITH BAKUCHIOL
Packed with a gentle but powerful retinol alternative, bakuchiol, the Skin Transformation Face Cream is a moisturizing facial lotion packed with high-quality hydrators like ceramides plus hyaluronic acid. This fragrance-free favorite can be paired with the Obsidian Facial Roller to create a relaxation kit for mom to enjoy at home.
This offering’s affirmation: “I welcome all circumstances as a catalyst for change.”
6. LET ME GLOW ILLUMINATING SERUM WITH NIACINAMIDE

Let Me Glow Illuminating Priming Serum with Niacinamide helps to smooth, brighten, and plump the look of skin.
