Winner of the 2025 Beauty News NYC Editor’s Choice Award
There’s always someone on your holiday list who’s tricky to shop for: maybe it’s the teacher who’s on their feet all day, the friend training for their next half-marathon or the parent who’s been quietly battling stiff joints. This year, we found a small but mighty gift that’s sure to make their season a little more comfortable: the Freeze Gel Roll-On from Barefoot Sunday.
This soothing roll-on won a spot in our 2025 Beauty News NYC Editor’s Choice Awards and for good reason. It delivers fast, cooling relief to sore muscles in a convenient, mess-free format that fits right into a purse, gym bag or desk drawer. It’s the kind of gift that feels thoughtful, useful and even a little indulgent: perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, or as a self-care treat for yourself during the holiday hustle.
What makes this freeze gel stand out is the formula that combines CBD, menthol, arnica, tea tree oil, and aloe vera (a dream team of natural ingredients known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory properties). The moment you apply it, you feel a cool tingle that starts working almost instantly. Whether you’re dealing with tension in your neck and shoulders or trying to ease the aches of a long workday on your feet, this gel provides “on-the-spot” comfort.
We especially love the roll-on applicator, which makes it easy to target specific areas like your back, hips, or even wrists, without getting any product on your hands. Plus, it dries quickly, doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue, and has a subtle, refreshing scent.
Gift this to just about anyone on your list: teachers or nurses who spend long hours standing, parents or grandparents with arthritis or joint discomfort, friends who love hiking, cycling, or staying active – anyone who could use a little extra TLC this winter.
