Kim Kardashian Is Backing Broc Shot
Kim Kardashian is the latest celebrity to get behind Broc Shot. The entrepreneur has joined the supplement brand as an advocate after adding its broccoli seed-based formula to her own routine. Kardashian, who has spoken openly about living with psoriasis, says she noticed her skin looked calmer and clearer within a few weeks. Broc Shot comes in flavoured sachets and capsules and gets its key ingredient, sulforaphane, from whole broccoli seeds. It’s also the first supplement to be recognised through the National Psoriasis Foundation’s Seal of Recognition programme.
Phlur Launches Vanilla Canyon
Phlur has added another vanilla to its fragrance lineup with the launch of Vanilla Canyon. Created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, the new fragrance leans into the warmer, woodier side of vanilla, pairing Madagascar vanilla with oak wood and patchouli. Velvet plum, jasmine petals, tonka bean, and wild honey soften things up without pushing it into full dessert territory. It’s inspired by open roads, vast canyons, and that freeing feeling of heading towards the horizon without knowing where you’ll end up.
Pat McGrath Labs Debuts Runway-Inspired Collection
Pat McGrath Labs has launched its new Backstage Artistry Collection today, turning some of Pat McGrath’s most recognisable runway techniques into a lineup of new makeup essentials. The range includes three Luxe Eyeshadow Quads, a bold Color Blitz Face Quad, and Invisibrow Gel, a buildable brow formula designed to create everything from soft definition to a bleached-brow effect. Invisibrow comes in six shades, with Pale Pink and White exclusive to Sephora and patmcgrath.com.
New Psoriasis Skincare Brand Relab Launches
A new skincare brand has arrived focusing specifically on psoriasis-prone skin. Relab has launched with Rescue + Restore, a three-product line designed to support skin through active flares and the periods in between. Active Rescue Psoriasis Cream ($72) is an over-the-counter treatment with 2% salicylic acid, while separate Barrier Restore moisturisers for the face ($55) and body ($62) are designed for ongoing barrier support. All three formulas also use effector proteins, which the brand is exploring as a new approach to topical skincare.
Salt & Stone x Cherry Los Angeles Returns
Salt & Stone has reunited with Cherry Los Angeles to bring back its Leather & Desert Grass collection for a second limited run after its sell-out debut last year. Inspired by the American West, the smoky scent blends apricot nectar, pink peppercorn, and cactus water with tobacco blossom, desert grass, violet leaf, tonka bean, mahogany leather, and sandalwood. The fragrance returns on 14 August across Salt & Stone’s Deodorant, Body Wash, Candle, and a new Body Mist, all dressed in Cherry Los Angeles’ signature red.
Frida Launches a Personal Care Range for Kids
Frida is growing up with its customers. Best known for baby, postpartum, and parenting products, the brand has launched Frida Kids, a 32-piece personal care range for children aged six to 11. It covers the everyday basics — body wash, deodorant, shampoo, detangling products, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and more — with details such as kid-sized pumps, easy-grip handles, and controlled dispensing. Developed with dermatologists and dentists, the range is designed to make it easier for kids to start managing their own hygiene routines.
Philip Kingsley Lands at John Bell & Croyden
Philip Kingsley has landed at John Bell & Croyden, bringing its trichologist-led hair and scalp care to one of London’s best-known pharmacies. The range includes targeted products for concerns such as hair loss and scalp health, alongside the brand’s wider haircare offering. It’s a natural fit for the retailer’s focus on science-led beauty and wellness, while giving shoppers another place to browse Philip Kingsley’s treatments — like the cult-favourite Elasticizer — in person.
