New in Sustainable Beauty
MOB Beauty, a sustainable beauty brand, launched. MOB Beauty has an “earth-first” philosophy, and all packaging is reusable. Current products include eye shadows, a cake liner, blushes, bronzers, highlighters, lipsticks, and tinted lip balms.
Those wanting clearer skin will be interested in FitGlow Beauty’s newest product, Clear + Bright Mandelic Drops. This serum blends 5% mandelic acid, kojic acid, and hyaluronic acid to gently exfoliate.
In addition, SkinOwl released its first liquid cleanser, Pomegranate Enzyme Cleanser. This cleanser features fermented pomegranate enzymes, which are supposed to be a gentle exfoliator.
If you can’t get enough of the Bum Bum Cream scent, you’ll love Sol de Janeiro’s Triple Brazilian Butter Hair Repair Treatment Mask. Cupuaçu butter, murumuru butter, tucumã butter, and plant-based keratin repair hair and prevent further damage.
Nailtopia released 3 new “skittle” kits. Each kit includes 3 bright mini polishes in complimenting colors and costs $19.99 at Ulta. The 4 kits are Cloud Paint, Sweater Weather, 3 Shades of Fall, and Pretty in Pink.
I love everything ILIA Beauty. I have no doubt I will also love their newest offering, the Lip Wrap Clean Hydrating Lip Mask. In addition to hydrating ingredients like sea succulent extract and hyaluronic acid, this lip balm includes papaya enzyme for gentle exfoliation.
Biossance released a new squalane-based treatment for dark spots. The Squalane + 10% Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum uses white shiitake mushroom extract and vitamin C to fade dark spots.
It’s not a new product, but Atolla updated its personalized serum packaging. It’s still plastic-free, but the new label comes off cleanly, making it easier to recycle. Get 50% off your first month with code ATOLLAGLOW142 at atolla.com.
