Cosmetics Business has named nine of the hottest beauty launches on the market this week.
Among them is newly launched 'clean' beauty brand Sann Beauty with its first lip offering and Rare Beauty’s newest skin care addition.
1. Simple
Unilever-owned skin care brand Simple has launched a trio of vegan Booster Serums.
The serums are designed to 'supercharge' shoppers’ skin care routines at a more affordable price point.
With the new range (from £7.99), shoppers will be able to choose from Simple Booster Serum 3% Hyaluronic Acid + B5 30ml or Simple Booster Serum 10% Vitamins C+E+F 30ml that protect the skin against environmental aggressors and moisturises and strengthens the skin barrier.
Meanwhile, the Booster Serum 10% Vitamin B3 30ml regulates sebum production to avoid breakouts, helping strengthen the skin barrier.
Shoppers can purchase the new range from Boots as well as British retailers Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Ocado.
2. Watermans
Hair care brand Watermans has broken into skin care with its dual action hair and skin oil.
The oil (£22.95) contains oleic acid and vitamins A, B, D and E to lock in moisture, while omega 3, 6 and 9 keep the hair hydrated and moisturised.
Meanwhile, the use of ingredients such as camelia oil and black castor oil are said to help soften, seal, and protect hair and leave skin soft, hydrated and smooth.
The oil also aims to enhance the colour and appearance of tattoos as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Sann Beauty
Newly launched 'clean' beauty brand Sann Beauty has introduced its first offering.
The initial offering of the Nourish + Care Lip Serum and Nourish + Tint Lip Serums (£22) are available in three shades Wild, Sunset and Morning Dew which cover nude, copper and berry tones.
Featuring cannabis sativa seed oil, cocoa butter, meadow foam seed oil and liquorice leaf extract, the lip serums aim to hydrate and nourish the lips.
For the month of March, all proceeds from the sale of Wild will be split between charities Choose Love and Doctors Without Borders to aid the humanitarian aid effort in Ukraine.
Available now via sannbeauty.com.
4. Aesop
Natura & Co-owned brand Aesop has teamed up with eponymous fashion and lifestyle brand Rick Owens for a limited edition fragrance collection.
The collection includes a candle and a travel kit featuring a quartet of body and hair care products, a jersey wrap and the Stoic edt.
The Stoic edt, developed in partnership with perfumer Barnabé Fillion, distils spicy aromas of black pepper and coriander seed, with frankincense and woody notes.
Meanwhile, the Stoic Aromatique Candle, which is available in three sizes, are inspired by the sculptures of Constantin Brancusi and Dadaist Hans.
The travel kit was curated to include the namesake of the brand favoured formulations and contains Coriander Seed Body Cleanser, Resolute Hydrating Body Balm, Classic Shampoo and Classic Conditioner.
“I am not sure if it was my body responding positively to the alchemy of the unguents they produce or my head responding to the quiet and gentle aesthetics of their ethos as a company, but Aesop’s balms represented a soothing mood that I wanted to continue seamlessly throughout my home life and my travel life,” said Owens.
The limited-edition collection is available now at aesop.com and select Aesop and Rick Owens stores.
5. Santa Maria Novella
Italian apothecary Santa Maria Novella has created five home fragrances to celebrate the brand's 800th anniversary.
The I Profumi del Mondo editions (£80 each) are inspired by five exotic journeys across Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
Africa features notes of eucalyptus, mango, peony, baobab and white musk.
Asia includes notes of lotus flower and the lily of the valley intertwined with blends of tea and iris to add a lightness to the scent.
Meanwhile, America aims to echo the vastness of the Amazon with notes of vanilla and caramel and Europe embraces the “old continent” with scents of bergamot, rose and red wine.
Each of the five home fragrances are available to purchase exclusively from Santa Maria Novella.
6. St. Moriz
Tanning brand St. Moriz has combined acne prevention and hydration for its new launch.
The Professional Clear Complexion Face Tanning Mist is infused with salicylic acid to help prevent breakouts in oily or spot-prone skin while aloe vera and vitamin E hydrate, soothe and protect the skin.
The clear mist is transfer-resistant to avoid stained sheets and is best used daily for a golden, glowy complexion.
The brand also recently combined anti-ageing and tanning with the launch of its Advanced Miracle Glow Face Tan Serum containing Q10, which is said to increase collagen in the skin and improve skin elasticity.
7. Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana evokes sun-drenched days on the island of Capri in the spring with its latest fragrance.
The two limited edition scents, Light Blue Italian Love (from £65) introduce woody notes to the beauty and fashion house.
Created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, Light Blue omits a fruity floral scent combined with fresh Calabrian lemon and crisp Granny Smith apple, while notes of heady jasmine and pure white rose adds a warmth to the scent.
Meanwhile, perfumer Alberto Morillas captures a blend of Mediterranean citruses in Light Blue Pour Homme including zesty Italian bergamot, sun-sweetened Sicilian mandarin and tangy frozen grapefruit.
Each bottle is housed in a blue and white striped box, a nod to beach themes that adorn the island of Capri.
Available via The Perfume Shop from 1 April.
8. Rare Beauty
The make-up brand by actress and singer Selena Gomez, Rare Beauty, has added a tinted moisturiser to its portfolio.
With built-in SPF 20 sunscreen plus vitamin E, the tinted moisturiser (US$29) provides light to medium coverage while evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of fine lines and pores.
Available in 24 shades, it also features botanical blends of lotus, gardenia and white water lily.
“It’s perfect for those days you just want something easy to throw on and still look put together,” said Gomez.
Suitable for sensitive skin, vegan and cruelty-free, the moisturiser is available from 30 March via the brands website and Sephora online and in-store and will roll-out to Space NK from 25 April.
9. Maison Francis Kurkdjian
French fragrance house Maison Francis Kurkdjian has extended its Oud Satin Mood range this spring.
Available from 16 March, exclusively at Selfridges, the latest additions include Oud Satin Mood Precious Elixirs edp, a set of four roll-ons (£120) and a scented candle (£90).
The woody, leathery accents of oud from Laos, selected by Francis Kurkdjian, are presented featuring ambery, woody, floral notes on contact with the skin.
Meanwhile, the candle comes in a handcrafted jar made of bisque porcelain from Limoges, France, and releases a fragrance of roses, violet and amber-vanilla accord.
