In line with the start of the year, a few new brands have been making waves with their cruelty free, vegan offerings to help with grooming and wellness at a time when the collective needs it the most.
First off, I wanted to introduce a new range from Too Cool For School – Caviar Lime, with their really impressive Hydra Bubble Toner Mist. It’s double-functioning (brightening & anti-aging) and also contains 6-layered hyaluronic acid derivatives, which fills the skin with moisture from surface to deep inside the skin. It has a pump and comes out as bubbles which is great as it lends itself to more coverage overall. I used it first on my face and then felt inspired to use it on my whole body, which was a great and really revitalising experience.
The name Caviar Lime might be confusing as traditionally we know that caviar isn’t sourced in the most ethical ways and doesn’t count as a vegan product, but rest assured, this product is 100% vegan and uses the Finger Lime, which opens to reveal tiny citrus jewels, resembling traditional caviar. It’s sourced in Queensland, Australia.
The brand also offers a cream, eye gel, drop essence, a mask and a surge stick.
Next up, LGBTQ+ friendly grooming brand Harry’s has launched a very luxury experience in the form of their new shower gel. The Redwood contains notes of sandalwood, evergreens and sea salt and gives a really holistic experience with possibly one of the smoothest textured shower gels I have ever experienced.
With my work co-developing CBDecoded, we have our first partnership this month with innovative market-leading CBD brand, fourfivecbd. We’re offering an exclusive discount code: CBDECODED15 which offers 15% off ALL purchases made via fourfivecbd.co.uk!
I am really impressed with the brand which is a company developed for athletes by athletes, created by rugby players George Kruis and Dom Day who have been passionately working in the CBD space to create a product that is functional and an asset to society – tailored to the professional and recreational sports world.
Last but not least, at the last Misery party in London, I was introduced to gardener Tallawah Ali who created a bespoke salve / balm with nettle leaves infused in almond oil, cayenne pepper, olive oil, rosemary leaves, rapeseed oil, ginger and wintergreen essential oil. You should hit them up via Instagram for more information.
