Cold Snap Looking for a way to keep your cool? Engineers at The Coldest Water have spent the past seven years creating products (everything from coolers to pillows to dog bowls) proven to deliver icy results. Their durable, lightweight, 40-ounce sports bottle ($42) keeps liquids cold for at least 36 hours, offers no-sweat technology, and floats in the pool and ocean so you never lose it. Stay hydrated and reduce your plastic waste with this reusable phenom. The Coldest Water, Naples (thecoldestwater.com)
Masked Crusader With organic, vegan ingredients and nothing artificial, Teami’s Mask Essentials set ($76) is a stunning way to unleash your natural beauty. The company says the matcha green tea, lemongrass, and bentonite clay of the green tea detox mask will help rid pores of impurities and replenish skin, while it says the beauty mask with butterfly flower, zinc oxide, and kaolin clay works to reveal skin that appears smoother, hydrated, and more supple.

Worth Your Salt There’s no need to book a spa appointment to reap the storied benefits of Himalayan crystal salt. Simply add Saltability’s Himalayan salt detox bath ($22) to your bath and soak for a minimum of 20 minutes and it promises to detoxify your body and boost your energy field. It claims to release toxins and negative energy, while the salt’s minerals are absorbed through the skin. Saltability, Boca Raton (saltability. com)
Protective Instinct This is sun protection with soul. Every purchase of a Mang product plants a mangrove in your name to help restore coastal ecosystems. Plus, 10 percent of the purchase price of this supremely breathable UPF 50 Eco Snook hoodie ($55), which says it blocks 98 percent of harmful UVA and UVB rays, directly funds Tampa Bay Watch projects.
