Discover the best beauty launches of the month below.
ACQUA DI PARMA ‘COLONIA IL PROFUMO MILLESIMATO’
Created to mark 110 years of the Maison, ‘Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato’ offers a refined new interpretation of an icon. Built around a singular 2024 harvest of Ylang-Ylang from Nosy Be, the fragrance amplifies the brightness of Colonia’s signature citrus opening—Italian bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain, and grapefruit—while adding depth through rosemary, patchouli, and vetiver. The result is luminous yet structured, familiar but noticeably richer, presented in a commemorative yellow hatbox that underscores the craftsmanship behind the scent.
CAELI PERSONAL CARE COLLECTION
Caeli approaches personal care as a lifestyle ritual rather than a routine. Rooted in Mediterranean scent memories and formulated with up to 97% natural and naturally derived ingredients, the range spans body wash, body lotion, hand care, and lip balm. Olive oil, shea butter, argan oil, and cacao seed butter anchor the formulas, while refined fragrance profiles add a subtle sense of escape. The collection feels thoughtful and considered, sitting comfortably at the intersection of beauty, wellbeing, and design.
HELLO KLEAN SCALP SERUMS
Hard water doesn’t get nearly enough blame for what it does to our scalps, and Hello Klean tackles that problem head-on. These lightweight post-wash serums are engineered specifically for the moment when the scalp is most vulnerable, right after rinsing, when minerals and chlorine can disrupt the barrier. ‘Full Control Anti-Thinning Scalp Serum’ focuses on density and shedding with peptide growth factors and zinc chloride, while ‘Fresh Start Anti-Dandruff Scalp Serum’ targets flakes and irritation using niacinamide and salicylic acid. Both rely on the brand’s patented Klean Complex™ to neutralize water-triggered stress, and the fast, cooling texture makes them feel like a reset rather than another heavy step.
HOURGLASS ‘ILLUSION LUMINOUS GLOW’ FOUNDATION
This is one of those foundations that quietly earns its reputation. The Hourglass Cosmetics ‘Illusion Luminous Glow’ Foundation blends makeup, skincare, and sun protection into a creamy, buildable formula that wears beautifully throughout the day. Powered by hydrating microspheres, it smooths and evens the complexion without settling into fine lines, while broad-spectrum SPF 30 adds everyday protection. Available in 32 shades, it delivers a radiant, skin-like finish that still feels weightless. The longer-term hydration and texture improvements make it feel like an investment in skin, not just coverage.
ILIA BEAUTY ‘THE BASE’ FACE MILK
Positioned somewhere between an essence and a lightweight moisturizer, Ilia Beauty ‘The Base Face Milk’ is designed to calm, hydrate, and visibly smooth skin while reinforcing the barrier. The fluid, shake-and-press formula absorbs quickly, making it easy to use alone or layered under makeup without disrupting complexion products. Powered by four sizes of hyaluronic acid, a biomimetic barrier renewal complex, and nutrient-rich microalgae extract, it delivers both instant and long-term hydration while helping reduce redness and improve texture over time. Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and suitable for sensitive skin, it’s the kind of quietly effective base that makes skin feel balanced before anything else goes on.
LOOTAH ‘TITAN’ & ‘FIREBLOOM’
With ‘Titan’ and ‘Firebloom,’ Lootah expands its Classic Collection with two contrasting expressions that feel modern yet grounded in traditional perfumery. ‘Titan’ is crisp and luminous, opening with ginger, pear, mandarin, and bergamot before settling into soft florals and dry woods. ‘Firebloom’ leans into warmth and intensity, blending oud, amber, and dark vanilla with unexpected floral and fruity accents. Together, they showcase the brand’s ability to balance clarity and emotion through meticulous craftsmanship.
OBAGI ‘NU-CIL BIOSTIM SCALP SERUM’
Obagi brings its clinical credibility to the scalp with ‘Nu-Cil BioStim’ Scalp Serum, a leave-in treatment designed to support thicker, fuller-looking hair at the root. The formula combines biotin, amino acids, peptides, and a concentrated mix of hair-supporting nutrients to strengthen follicles and improve scalp health over time. With daily use on damp or dry hair, the serum helps reduce shedding, boost density, and improve overall hair resilience, making it a straightforward, results-driven addition to a haircare routine.
ROJA ‘ISOLA SNOW’
‘Isola Snow’ continues Roja’s olfactory journey with a striking alpine chapter. Created by Antoine Cotton, the fragrance sets out to capture the scent of a snowflake through a crystalline Snowflake Accord paired with peppermint and grounded by cypress. Cool, energetic, and sharply defined, it evokes glacial air and snow-covered landscapes, translating that sensation into a modern parfum that feels precise and transportive.
