Product Review: UVShield SPF 50 PA+++ Sun Block by Oshea Herbals
We have so many sunscreens on our shelf right now that adding another one to the rotation felt entirely unnecessary.

Product Review: Malli Malli Moisturising Cream by Dipsy
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.

What Is Bakuchiol: The Indian Ayurvedic Ingredient the World Is Calling the Natural Alternative to Retinol
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.

Who Invented the High Heel? Hint: Not Her.
From the stirrups of Persian cavalry to the mirrored floors of Versailles, from Roger Vivier's steel rod to the runways of contemporary menswear — the high heel has never really been about the shoe. It has always, without exception, been about power, and who gets to wear it.

Marca Corona's Calcecreta Collection Brings the Texture of Lime, Earth and Clay to Porcelain Stoneware for Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Marca Corona has been making ceramic surfaces in the Sassuolo district longer than any other company in the area, and the Calcecreta collection draws on that depth of material knowledge to do something that requires genuine craft confidence, recreating the imperfect, time-worn surfaces of lime, earth, and clay in porcelain stoneware with enough textural conviction that the result reads as something remembered rather than manufactured. The collection achieves that quality thro

Febal Casa's Origina Kitchen Presented at Salone del Mobile as a Minimalist Architectural Statement Built Around the Atlas Island
The kitchen has been renegotiating its place in the home for years, moving steadily away from its origins as a purely functional service space and toward something considerably more central to how people actually live, entertain, and experience their homes on a daily basis, and Italian kitchen brand Febal Casa has been tracking that evolution closely enough that Origina, its newest system presented at Salone del Mobile, reads less like a product launch and more like a conside

John Kilroy, Cosmetic Formulator and Founder of Foundry on Building a British Luxury Beauty Brand From a Saxon Water Mill in Somerset
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.
