Awards season is upon us and that can only mean one thing... what’s in the bag? While celebs strut their stuff on the Oscars red carpet, it's their wellness-packed goodie bags that truly steal the spotlight.
From top-tier treats like adaptogen waters and glutathione tablets, stars bag the crème de la crème of wellness products (alongside over $200k of travel experiences and shiny kitchen gadgets) to rival their statuettes.
But guess what? You don’t need a golden gong to enjoy some little luxuries – H&B has your backstage pass to our version of these star-quality products.
Lights, camera, wellness...
In 2024, amongst sound baths, kitchen blenders and designer pillows, Oscar attendees received 1MD Nutrition's LiverMD luxury mocktail kit. LiverMD packs a punch with its exclusive formula, including EVNolMax (no it isn’t a new cinema experience), a form of vitamin E from red palm fruits.1
Making waves in the wellness world, New Nordic Active Liver is a unique formulation designed to support healthy liver function. Combining natural extracts such as milk thistle,2-3 artichoke and turmeric, this Swedish-made tablet includes choline, which contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.4
Forget Glinda, meet Glutaryl: the spray that was shaking things up at the 96th Academy Awards. Made with pure water, it's non-comedogenic, with cutting-edge L-glutathione that absorbs right into your skin.5
Zooki Liposomal Glutathione showcases 500mg of vegan-friendly glutathione, using advanced Liposomal Encapsulation Technology.6 Speaking of award winners, this independent and innovative health brand from the North West is taking centre stage with eye-catching packaging and bioavailable ingredients that are earning them accolades.
Fetcha us that goodie bag... Award-winning chocolates, crafted in Scotland, loved by Oscar nominees and chocoholics worldwide. No more missing out due to allergies, founder and chocolatier Fiona McArthur's movie-themed chocolates made the cut for the Oscars gift bags.
Indulge in Brownie Bites with Benefits, a delicious treat packed with potential perks. Boasting calcium, fibre and friendly cultures, these tasty treats may support gut health while satisfying your sweet cravings. Enjoy the natural sweetness and crunch from a blend of dates, walnuts, cashew nuts, peanuts and cacao nibs. Plus, calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.
The Deafinitely Divine Glow Kit by Hotsy Totsy Haus, a deaf-owned luxury brand, made its debut in the 2024 Oscars gift bags. This set is a collaboration with Deafies in Drag, offering handmade beauty essentials that blend glamour, inclusivity and indulgent skincare.
A wicked skincare addition that’ll leave people green with envy? Enter stage left: the Grass & Co. GLOW Hydrating CBD Day Cream. Made in the UK, this moisturiser combines CBD with rosehip, ginger, and ylang ylang, along with vitamins A, C and E, which may help battle the negative effects of oxidative stress and the appearance of premature ageing.
We advise against the use of CBD for people under 18, individuals on medication, those trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding, unless directed by a healthcare professional.
Windy City Sweets, the Chicago candy gurus, treated last year’s Academy Award nominees with black liquorice. This tasty mix featured black liquorice from around the world, their famous pecan caramel nut patties and a delightful S'mores sampler. Who could resist?
Would it be the Oscars without popcorn? Enter an irresistible raspberry and liquorice combo – where sweet and fruity berry meets the distinctive flavour of aniseed. Hand-popped in small batches, this high-fibre snack could become your go-to movie night snack.
When "Everything Everywhere All at Once" swept the 2023 Academy Awards with seven wins, the stars indulged in celeb-owned spirits, luxury skincare and Manuka honey packed in their swanky goodie bags.
If the stars were looking to support their immune system, they might have been happy to see this in their bag. Infused with ginger, honey, vitamins C, D, B6, B12, zinc, ginseng and elderberry, these NaturGeeks Immunity Shots are a hit in the US.
Put a little zing in your step with this James White Drinks Organic Ginger Zinger Shot. Made with organic, crushed ginger juice and pressed apple, this Soil Association certified organic drink promises an invigorating tipple without relying on artificial sugaror caffeine.
This inclusion wouldn’t get a PG rating... C60 Sexy is an unscented massage oil packed with 100% organic avocado oil and Carbon 60. Their handy 3oz pump bottle ensures an easy, generous application for those relaxing massages and a deeper connection with your partner.
Unwind and relax with Weleda Arnica Massage Oil. Enriched with carefully selected plant extracts and pure essential oils, it soothes the senses with a gentle warming effect. (It’s worth mentioning that this one isn’t edible, though).
Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water: the protagonist of their drinks range. This naturally sweet, crisp drink hydrates and satisfies, thanks to its electrolytes, phosphorus and potassium, whether you’re on a hike, at hot yoga or just chilling in the park. Picture Jamie Lee Curtis or Barry Keoghan sipping it in the taxi home.
Quench your thirst with Vita Coco Pressed Coconut Water, where a satisfying coconut taste meets hydration and naturally occurring potassium. Plus, you can feel good about the 100% recyclable packaging, making a choice that's kind to the planet.
Crispy, crunchy goodness from Clif. Snack-sized and only 100 calories per pack, they're perfect for a sneaky snack. Even celebrities surely can't resist snacking on their chocolate chip, chocolate brownies and white chocolate macadamia nut flavours between speeches.
Looking for your next snack? A little more savoury than the celeb offering, Kallo Veggie Thins Rosemary & Sea Salt Thins might just be the answer. With plant protein and fibre, these chickpea flatbread crackers are more than just a nibble. Perfect for topping with cheese or dipping in hummus, they're a cracking good choice for any snack time. Plus, they also come in beetroot and three seeds flavour.
