Caroline Hirons launches two Retinoid products
Skincare expert Caroline Hirons has unveiled her highly-anticipated skincare line, Skin Rocks, launching with two Retinoid treatment products.
Retinoid 1 contains 0.2% HPR (hydroxypinacolone retinoate). It is described as a 'beginner' product aimed at those who have not used Retinoids before or who have had issues with sensitivity. The formula also contrains retinoid 'boosters' such as bakuchiol and soybean extract, as well as squalane and vitamin E.
Retinoid 2 contains 0.55% HPR. As well as the ingredients in Retinoid 1, it also contains Retinal (0.05%). This is described as an 'intermediate' product and is for those used to using Retinoids.
Priced at £65 and £75, the two Retinoid treatment products are available online at Skin Rocks.
Lush launches Stranger Things collaboration
Lush has launched a limited-edition bathing duo in celebration of Netflix's Stranger Things.
The 'Hellfire Club Bathing Duo' includes two bath bombs inspired by the latest season, as well as two collectible playing cards compatible with the Dungeons and Dragons game played in the show.
The ‘D8’ bath bomb is a replica of the eight-sided dice used by the Hellfire Club to play Dungeons and Dragons, featuring numbers relating to the show and Lush, such as 11 (the name of the main character ‘El’ who has supernatural powers) and 29 (the address of the Lush’s first ever shop in Poole, Dorset).
‘The Rift’ is a pitch-black bath bomb, with red and orange at its core. It has a spicy scent and will "crackle, swirl and pop" in the water.
Priced at £15, the Stranger Things bathing duo is available online and in-store at Lush.
Hermès debuts fragrance for children
Hermès has launched its first-ever fragrance for children, called Cabriole.
Described by the luxury brand, the Cabriole Eau de Senteur scent claims to evoke the feeling of childhood's earliest wonders and reveals the child at the heart of Hermès.
Created by Christine Nagel, Director of Creation & Olfactory Heritage for Hermès Parfums, Cabriole combines the "velvety tenderness of Osmanthus and the delicate freshness of honeysuckle with the noble elegance of sandalwood in a composition that subtly evokes the apricot-like scent of a child’s cheek".
Priced at £82, the Cabriole fragrance is available online at Hermès.
