NEW + NOTEWORTHY : AUGUST

So…a few interesting launches lately, ahead of big “new launch month”, September!

Tisserand Aromatherapy joins forces with National Geographic with the launch of 3 new voyage-inspired blends RETREAT (Neroli, Frankincense & Vetiver), EXPLORE (Peppermint, Cardamom & Petigrain) and PARADISE (Jasmine, Grapefruit & Mandarin).

I haven’t tried these yet but the new range features sustainably-sourced ingredients from around the world. Neroli from Tunisia, British Peppermint…I’m drawn to the Paradise blend and as a mint lover, Explore sounds like an intriguing, refreshing blend.

The collaborative range has sustainability as its main feature, with all packaging being fully recyclable and the bottles made out of 100% recycled plastic.

The products have been made with 100% natural pure essential oils and blended with naturally derived ingredients.

These new aromatherapy blends aim to combat the symptoms of life’s everyday stresses and there are three collections, each offering shower gel, bath oil, diffuser oil, rollerball, mood mist, and a Travel Kit.

The collections are:

The Paradise Blend: Fusing jasmine, grapefruit, and mandarin together to inspire positivity and deeply relax the mind and body.
The Retreat Blend: Uses the sweet and smoky aroma of vetiver, neroli, and frankincense to encourage inner strength, a sense of calm and contentment in the self.
The Explore Blend: Offers fresh and invigorating petitgrain, cardamom, and peppermint to bring clarity to busy minds and help soothe the respiratory system.

Coming soon…

Tisserand Aromatherapy and National Geographic‘s collections will be available at Boots from 17 August and online at Tisserand.com from 1 September.

Solid & Striped’s oxybenzone-free facial SPF is here just in time for the last official month of summer, Toni & Guy’s Damage Repair Mask should sort salty-sea, windy beach hair, and Inlight’s new Lip Serum (which I have tried) is a bodyguard for sun-dried summer lips that’ll be making regular appearances in winter too.

REN’s ClearCalm range has always been much loved and it just got bigger with the arrival of its non-drying spit treatment.

Free-from nail brand Kure Bazaar have some pretty pale blues and pale corals out this summer along with two new Rose or Ginger Lip & Nail Balms.

If you’re travelling soon, British countryside brand AMLY Botanicals’ Discovery Kits include 3 mini samples and a muslin cloth and Swiss nail brand Mavala’s legendary minis collection (so good for handluggage!) just went retro with six new striking shades.

Wrapping August up, Flower Supply’s multi-use oil has landed while OSKIA fans will be excited about this one: the new Retinoid Sleep Serum which promises to be a high performer like the entire range by this brilliant London brand.

OSKIA’s very foundation is nutrition/nature-meets-science for skin, so this serum should be well worth a test-drive, as OSKIA virtually never (and you really can say “never” with this brand) disappoints.

Happy barefoot August! x
