evolvetogether hydrating body cream
This time of year, it seems like there isn’t enough moisture to go around, so continually applying lotions, salves, and oils is the name of the game until spring rolls around. Evolvetogether, a ROSE & IVY favorite, has released a wonderful new body cream in three different iterations to quench thirsty skin. Conjure up dreams of the the south of France with Provence, which melds the soothing aroma of lavender, chamomile, and tempered with green woods; Morocco, a modern rose laced scent entices with notes of wood, patchouli, and mandarin. Each delivers hydration, thanks to a blend of argan and avocado oils, without being greasy.
merit great skin instant glow serum
Give the complexion a little boost with Merit’s first foray into skincare. This glow-inducing serum is formulated with hyaluronic acid, Japanese Goldenthread Root, which is known for its antioxidant properties, and cacao seed that leaves the skin plumped. Wear it alone, or under makeup, and people will think you slipped away to a tropical island in the middle of winter.
paume moisturizing antibacterial hand gel
Living through the many iterations of covid, many people, myself included, have been on auto-pilot when it comes to washing and disinfecting before doing anything, especially now that I have a newborn. Before discovering Paume, I preferred washing my hands with a gentle soap and water to avoid the harmful additives of your run-of-the-mill hand sanitizer. But enter Paume, a brand powered by natural ingredients, which calls upon the likes of ethyl alcohol, aloe vera, and witch hazel to disinfect and unlike the others, their formula also hydrates. Another bonus? The packaging is refillable and the brand is plastic-neutral meaning for every product they sell, one piece of plastic will be retrieved from a landfill or the ocean and repurposed.
