Gntl & the Future of Full-Body Formulation
Exploring the Brand Reshaping How We Think About Skin From Head to Toe For the past few years, the body category has been undergoing a meaningful transformation. Ingredient literacy has surged, textures have become more considered, and consumers are no longer willing to accept a diluted version of skincare simply because it’s packaged in a larger bottle.

HPPY Skin Is Putting Pressure on the Industry (Literally)
When you think of cold-pressed, you probably think of juicing, not skin topicals. But HPPY Skin is bringing that same freshness-driven philosophy to skincare, and the science behind it is seriously impressive.

Twofold Rewrites Inside-Out Beauty
Some brands enter the beauty landscape. Others quietly redraw it. Twofold Wellness , founded by Callie O’Brien and Kenna Whitnell, belongs to the latter; a brand less concerned with trend cycles and more intent on re-establishing a truth the industry once knew and then forgot: the skin and body are not separate systems, and our rituals should honor that. In a category long enamored with maximalism with steps stacked like merit badges and routines choreographed to perfection,

Parëva™ Beauty: The Joy of Science-Backed Transformation
The first time I opened a box on my doorstep to find Parëva™ Beauty’s packaging, I did a double take. In an industry saturated with clinical whites, muted pastels, and “quiet luxury” minimalism, here was something unapologetically bold: a serum in fire-engine red, a moisturizer in cobalt blue, a primer in emerald green. It felt like skincare that wanted to be noticed.

This Mist Is What Dae Dreams Are Made Of
As someone who works in beauty marketing, I always pay close attention to how brands evolve their hero SKUs into something bigger. And Dae Hair? They’re doing it right.
Their latest launch, Dream Veil Hair & Body Fragrance Mist, is a masterclass in brand expansion. Retailing at $24, the mist bottles up the brand's viral Signature Citrus Scent, the same one in their viral Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream and gives it new life in a format that's been trending.

Beauty Meets Brain Freeze: Laneige x Baskin-Robbins
Another day, another beauty x food collab, but this one actually makes sense.
Laneige just dropped its first-ever marbled Lip Sleeping Mask, and it’s inspired by Baskin-Robbins’ Rainbow Sherbet. At first glance, it’s a playful, colorful product drop designed for social media. But when you take a closer look, it’s also a smart, multi-layered marketing moment that taps into emotional connection, sensory play, and retail strategy all at once.

Danesa Myricks Colorfix: Now in Stix To Swipe and Sparkle
Ten years ago, Danessa Myricks sat in her basement mixing pigments by hand, driven by one question: What if everyone could feel like an artist?
That turned into the creation of ColorFix, the original multi-purpose waterproof pigment that makeup artists and beauty lovers quickly adopted as a staple. It wasn’t just another product to go to market; it was a tool for creative freedom. A single tube that could turn eyes, cheeks, lips, or even the entire face into a canvas.
