Editors' Picks: New launches from Rhode, Haus Labs, Murad and more...

From Murad's clear SPF to Rhode's stick blushes, and more, here are the top beauty launch picks of the week from TheIndustry.beauty team.

The Pocket Blush, Rhode

Over the past few years, Hailey Bieber and her beauty secrets have had the beauty industry (and myself) in a chokehold, whether it be for her 'glazed doughnut' manicure or 'cookie butter' hair colour. Since her skincare brand Rhode launched at the end of 2022, fans have clamoured to snap up her glaze-inducing skincare products. Admittedly, I've only tried the viral lip peptide treatments, which cost a pretty penny, and soon after thoroughly disappointed (nonetheless, I still gained the street cred for owning one).

Now, as predicted, the brand is venturing into colour cosmetics for the first time with its Pocket Blush. The oh-so-small and dainty stick blushes arrived on the scene and immediately sparked my interest. Available in six shades, the on-the-go cream blush promises to wake up cheeks and lips with a "diffused flush that melts on smoothly and stays all day". Unlike its rivals, the blush stays glowy on the cheeks without feeling greasy or slimey. Not only does it have Kylie Jenner and countless other A-listers' approval, it also has mine - especially shade Piggy.

Multi-Vitamin Clear CoatSPF 50, Murad

From La Roche Posay's Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid and No7's Future Renew Damage Protection Defence Shield to Naked Sunday's SPF 50 Cabana Crème Hydrating Moisturiser, and more, it's safe to say I've tried my fair share of SPFs in recent years, and the latest one to capture my attention is from Murad.

The brand's new Multi-Vitamin Clear Coat SPF 50 promises to deliver protection against early skin ageing with a powerful blend of vitamins and patented biofermented technology. Not only that, but it also helps recharge antioxidant levels depleted by sun and environmental exposure and encourages ceramide production to strengthen the skin barrier. However, despite all these great benefits, what particularly stood out to me was its clear, gel-like formula - something I'm sure will appeal to many beauty enthusiasts along with its easy application.

Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm, Haus Labs

Haus Labs continues to impress with its NPD. I'm sitting here wearing its outstanding foundation and concealer and can now add a glass-like glow to my cheeks with its Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm.

As with all make-up from Lady Gaga's range, this combines the benefits of skincare with the artistry of makeup. It's a serum balm that imparts a glass-like finish and is packed with skin enhancing ingredients from arnica to goji berry, vitamin E and plant squalene, to name a few.

This glides on, does its thing and doesn't leave a sticky residue. It's available in seven highly pigmented shades, with an eighth on its way. Available now priced at £30.

Exfoliating Hand Wash, Grown Alchemist,

It’s only been a couple of months since Grown Alchemist left the L’Occitane Group to go it alone under the new rule of CEO, beauty maven Anna Teal, and it is already out of the traps with a new product – the Exfoliating Hand Wash.

The hand wash is packed with active ingredients, including pumice and eco beads for gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and smooth skin, aloe vera to hydrate and refresh, and vanilla and orange peel (its most-loved essential oil blend) for subtly scented hands.

I was lucky enough to use it ahead of today’s launch, and let me tell you, it will not disappoint. Don’t just take my word for it, just take a look at the clinical trials...

• 98% agreed effective hand cleansing​.
• 98% agreed gentle enough for daily use.
• 91% agree hands are left feeling soft​.

Priced at £29 for 500ml, the new Exfoliating Hand Wash is now available at Grown Alchemist.

Motherhood collection, Luna Daily 

Microbiome-balancing bodycare brand Luna Daily has expanded its product line-up with a new Motherhood collection, designed to support women’s bodies through pregnancy, post-birth, and beyond. While I don't personally fit within the target market for this new collection, it's nice to see a brand making an attempt to "revolutionise" this category, as Luna Daily has also done across women's health in general with its wider product portfolio.

Developed with a collective of dermatologists, gynaecologists and a pelvic floor physiotherapist, the range includes a Post-Birth Soothing Spray, Perineal Prep Oil, Everywhere Motherhood Wash and Nip + Lip Balm, as well as a Hospital Bag Essentials Kit and Mum to Be Kit boasting a selection of the new products.
