Hosting Season Essentials: Preparing Your Home (and Skin) for the Holidays
As the air turns crisp and calendars fill with dinners, gatherings, and weekends at home, November marks the start of hosting season.
It’s that magical time when our homes become the heart of connection — and a clean, intentional space sets the tone for everything that follows.
At Alpinia Labs, we believe a beautiful season starts with simple, effective rituals: clean dishes, fresh linens, and radiant skin that feels as good as it looks.
Here are a few of our must-haves to help you welcome guests (and care for yourself) all season long.
1. Reset the Kitchen with Plastic-Free Clean
Hosting means more dishes — but it shouldn’t mean residue, waste, or that chemical “aftertaste” on your silverware.
Our Plastic-Free Dishwasher Detergent delivers a spotless, film-free clean powered by enzymes — no pods, no plastic films, and no residue.
✨ Why it’s different:
-
100% plastic-free and microplastic-free
-
Rinses crystal clear (even on glassware)
-
Infused with mineral-based brighteners and enzymes for sparkling results
It’s the clean your guests don’t notice — just the quiet confidence of clear glass and fresh lemon scent.
2. Soap That Belongs Beside Every Sink
Between chopping, baking, and handwashing, your hands deserve something better than harsh detergent.
Our Chef’s Soap is made with citrus essential oils and gentle cleansing botanicals that cut through kitchen grime while keeping your skin soft and hydrated.
✨ Perfect for:
-
Post-cooking cleanup
-
Guests’ powder room sink
-
Everyday washing that feels like a small luxury

3. Keep Your Glow Through the Season
Holiday gatherings, late nights, and cooler weather can leave your skin feeling dull or tired.
Our Methylene Blue Daily Renewal Lotion and Methylene Blue Capsules help keep your glow — inside and out.
✨ For your skin: Methylene Blue is a potent antioxidant shown to support cellular rejuvenation and reduce visible signs of aging.
✨ For your body: Our capsules offer the same cellular support internally — now in an easy, mess-free format.

Simplify, Soothe, and Celebrate
Hosting season doesn’t have to mean stress — it’s about creating moments that feel like home.
Whether it’s a fresh stack of linens, the clean scent of lemon in the air, or a simple skincare ritual before bed, these little choices shape the feeling of the season.
✨ Made in Florida
✨ Small-batch and science-driven
✨ Always toxin-free, always intentional
