Acqua di Parma turns 110 this year, and the anniversary has produced a considered series of releases. The latest is La Caletta, a summer collection developed in collaboration with French interior designer Laura Gonzalez, known for projects including the Cartier Mansion in New York and the Hotel Saint James in Paris.

The Chicco Baby Moments Head to Toe Wash is formulated with 92 percent natural ingredients, combining mild plant-based cleansers, oat bran extract, and apricot extract to gently cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural moisture. Free from parabens, SLS, SLES, alcohol, dyes, phenoxyethanol, and tropolone, the dermatologically tested no-tears formula leaves skin and hair feeling soft, nourished, and comfortable after every bath.

Most anti-dandruff shampoos are built around a simple and quietly dishonest promise: suppress the flakes, keep the customer coming back. The scalp gets stripped, the barrier breaks down, the fungal environment rebounds, and the cycle repeats. The Indian haircare market has been running on this loop for decades, and most people dealing with dandruff have simply accepted recurrence as part of the deal.

The Nat Habit Tri-Leaf Rosemary Summer Hair Oil is part of the brand's DASABUTI range, which is built on an authentic Ayurvedic preparation method where fresh herbs are slow-infused for over ten hours in cold-pressed oils.

Before discussing what works, let's first cover a little about the brand. Salve Pharmaceuticals has been a trusted name in pharmaceutical skincare in India, and Parasoft is one of its most established products, widely available across leading pharmacies and online. It is not a lifestyle skincare brand in the conventional sense. It is a dermatologist-tested, clinically formulated moisturizer built around one clear purpose: tackling dry, dehydrated, and compromised skin.

Kess has arrived in the UK, and if you have been looking for a reason to finally edit down your makeup bag, this Berlin-born brand makes a convincing case for it. Founded in Germany's creative capital, the brand is built around multifunctional formulas that are designed to replace several products rather than add to the pile, with a minimalist design aesthetic that feels entirely at home in the current beauty conversation around doing less, better.

Sydney-based makeup artist Bonnie Gillies spent twenty years watching women overcomplicate their routines. In 2019 she built a brand around the opposite instinct and called it Basics by B.

We have so many sunscreens on our shelf right now that adding another one to the rotation felt entirely unnecessary. There are the fancy Korean ones, the clinical ones, the tinted ones that are half foundation, and a few impulse buys that never quite worked. So when the Oshea Herbals UVShield SPF 50 PA+++ came in for review, the expectations were cautious at best.

I received the Malli Malli moisturizer from Dipsy through AB Comm and have been using it consistently for a little over two weeks, incorporating it into both my morning and evening routine. My skin tends to lean combination, and my concern going in was straightforward: finding a daily moisturizer that hydrates without feeling heavy or leaving a greasy finish, particularly through the warmer part of the day.

Your skin doesn't just get dry on a long-haul flight — it undergoes a complex biological disruption. Here's the science behind what really happens at altitude, and how to recover fully.

If you have spent any real time in skincare communities in the last few years, you will have noticed that the conversation around retinol has quietly but significantly shifted, not away from it exactly, because retinol remains the most clinically validated anti-aging ingredient in dermatology and nobody serious about skin is suggesting otherwise, but toward a growing and genuinely complicated conversation about who retinol actually works for and who it leaves behind.

Somewhere in the mountains of southern China, there is a village where women wash their hair in the river with fermented rice water, where hair grows past the floor and stays dark well into the seventies, and where Guinness World Records once showed up with a measuring tape and confirmed what the women already knew.

Foundry, the new British luxury beauty brand created by cosmetic formulator and perfumer John Kilroy, builds its entire identity around that transparency. It launches from a former Saxon water mill in Frome, Somerset, with an edit of skincare, bodycare, and fragrance that sits as comfortably in the language of high science as it does in the Somerset countryside that physically surrounds it. What makes Foundry genuinely distinct from the wave of science-led brands that have de

Birkenstock has spent 250 years making footwear and the better part of the last decade making ugly-chic not just acceptable but genuinely desirable, so a nail polish collection is either the most logical extension of that brand universe or the most surprising, depending on how you look at it, and the answer turns out to be both at once because the range lands with exactly the kind of considered restraint and functional honesty that has always made the brand difficult to dismi

Suncare has long struggled to balance effective clinical formulas with aesthetically pleasing products that lack scientific credibility. Alta Marea, founded by beauty industry veteran Nico Morga Alden, arrives with a direct and considered answer to that gap, built around the sensory language of the Amalfi Coast and the kind of formulation rigor that daily SPF, the single most evidence-backed step in any skincare routine, has always deserved but has often lacked. The brand dra

Why the World Is Finally Paying Attention Injectables are costly, and surgical facelifts are permanent, leading the beauty industry to fill the gap with devices and products that promise lift but rarely deliver lasting results. Kobido, a 550-year-old Japanese facial technique, is gaining popularity for its effective, hands-only results, as evidenced by long waiting lists in Paris, London, and New York. The surge in interest has everything to do with where consumer sentiment a

NYX Professional Makeup has spent 27 years building its reputation from the jawline up, and the Fat Oil Body collection marks the first time the brand has deliberately moved in the other direction, extending one of its most recognized franchises into a 12-product bodycare edit that brings the same glow-led, texture-forward sensibility of the original Fat Oil lip range to the whole body through a mix of oils, mists, butters, and lotions built around avocado oil and vitamin E a

Italian beauty brand Miamo has made its UK debut carrying a philosophy that was never going to sit quietly on a shelf, founded by pharmacists Dr Elena Aceto di Capriglia and Dr Camilla D'Antonio with CEO Giovanni D'Antonio at the helm of what remains a family-run brand, built from the ground up around rigorously tested formulas, protocol-led routines, and the kind of consistency-first thinking that prioritises long-term skin transformation over the kind of immediate but short

Intimate care has spent a long time on the wrong shelf, sitting in the pharmacy aisle while the rest of the beauty industry moved forward in formulation, packaging, and the kind of sensory experience that makes a product feel worth reaching for, and Juice, the new intimate beauty brand founded by entrepreneur Hanushka Toni, has arrived in the UK with a direct and considered response to exactly that gap, built around a category of product that did not previously exist in this

Escentric Molecules has spent years making the fragrance world reconsider what a single molecule can do, building a devoted following around lab-born ingredients like Iso E Super, a compound created at IFF in 1973 that spent decades working quietly behind the scenes in perfumery, giving compositions a velvety, enveloping quality that most wearers could sense but never quite name, until Geza Schoen pulled it into the foreground in large concentrations and built the now cult-cl
