The Barrier Boosting Combo included in the “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bag.

This year, Canadian skincare line ēcōMD will be included in the “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bags given to Oscar® nominees in the major acting and directing categories. 

A Hollywood tradition going back some 20 years, these luxury gift bags always attract attention due to the high-profile assortment of deluxe items included. The bags are provided independently by marketing firm Distinctive Assets.

Dr. Namita Rao and Dr. Jaggi Rao, founders of Edmonton-based ActivMD and creators of the ēcōMD skincare line, are delighted to have such high-profile exposure, and to know that nominees like Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, Cate Blanchett, Steven Spielberg, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Angela Bassett will have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with ēcōMD’s ethically-sourced, toxin-free products.

And although the backdrop is the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, they hope it will raise awareness of how their products offer a down-to-earth, non-toxic alternative to conventional skincare products. 

“So many popular skincare and cosmeceutical products have a negative effect both on humans and the environment,” says Dr. Namita Rao. “Our goal was to provide a truly effective alternative that’s clean and toxin-free.”ēcōMD is a family of gentle yet highly effective scientific formulations using naturally and ethically sourced ingredients where possible to provide preventative and effective treatment for skin aging and photoaging, mild acne, rosacea, and sensitive, dry or menopausal skin. 

The ēcōMD line of scientific formulas is particularly characterized by its exceptionally high concentrations of active ingredients used to successfully address virtually all aspects of skin health – cleansing, hydration, restoration, nourishment, and protection. 

Their commitment to a product that is natural and sustainable extends to the packaging itself, emphasizing glass over plastic bottles, no inserts, recyclable kraft boxes and vegetable-based inks.

The “Barrier Boosting Kit” package included in the gift bag comprises five ēcōMD products: Purifying Facial Cleanser, Soothing Hydrating Mist, Soothing Serum, Vegan Retinol Serum, and Soothing Face Balm.

While the gift is aimed at the A-list of Hollywood stars, ēcōMD “clean, conscious” skincare products can bring anyone the glow of attractive, healthy skin.
