The Chicago luxury body care brand founded by Kela Nabors joins the holiday gift guide in its 30th year.*

CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Noël Jolié, the Chicago luxury body care and wellness brand founded by Kela Nabors, announced today that its 6-ounce Velours Voile de Cachemire Silken Body Cream was selected for the 2026 Oprah‘s Favorite Things list. The holiday gift guide features 79 selections in its 30th year.

Nabors named Noël Jolié after her youngest daughter. Teaching her daughter to trust herself, take her time and make room for her own needs led Nabors to rethink how she cared for herself. Her background in social work shaped the brand’s belief that everyday care deserves a place before exhaustion sets in.

Velours is Noël Jolié’s signature expression of quiet indulgence. Cold-whipped to an airy, silken texture, the cream blends shea butter and botanical oils to leave skin feeling soft and moisturized, with notes of bergamot, sandalwood, neroli and jasmine. For Nabors, quiet indulgence means making time for yourself in the middle of an ordinary day. Velours brings that idea to a familiar ritual, turning the simple act of caring for your skin into a moment to slow down and return to yourself.

As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com: “I was taping with KeKe Palmer when she asked me for hand cream. My camera guy Keith had this lotion, which we both tried. We both had the same thought: *It’s the ash killer!* It’ll bring back the driest skin out there.”

A special holiday episode of The Oprah Podcast, available today, features Oprah surprising an audience of caregivers with selections from the list. The episode also includes a live holiday performance from Grammy-winning artist Jacob Collier.

Viewers can watch and shop on Amazon Live, the Amazon Live FAST channel and Prime Video’s Shop the Show. The episode is also available on Oprah‘s YouTube channel and major podcast platforms.

The full list is available now at OprahDaily.com and will appear in Oprah Daily’s special print 2026 Holiday Edition, on newsstands nationwide Nov. 17. Shop Velours and explore the full Noël Jolié collection at noeljolie.com. Velours is also available through the Oprah‘s Favorite Things storefront at amazon.com/oprahsfavoritethings.
