From luxury skin and body care to innovative cosmetics and must-have hair products, these are the 10 products that are currently on our radar.
LOVE LIGHT LIPS ILLUMINATED LIP GLOSS WITH MIRROR (full size $22)
A healing lip gloss with an ingredient lineup that includes aloe, jojoba oil, vitamin E and shea butter to repair damage and instantly improve the look and texture of your lips. Popular for its hydrating abilities, jojoba oil acts as a deep-down strengthener to stop damage and chapping before they start. Probably present in your favorite lotion, powerhouse moisturizer shea butter tackles dryness and water loss on contact for smooth, supple skin.
Founders Ann and Stacey said, “We created an innovative beautiful lip gloss designed with an LED light and a mirror on the bottle for the perfect application.”
SPONGELLÉ BODY CONTOURING BUFFER WITH BUILT IN CLEANSER (full size $25)
A body wash-infused sponge and skin-smoother in one, this innovative, in-shower product helps smooth areas prone to cellulite and detoxify skin with help from natural ingredients.
One of the most potent sources of antioxidants, green coffee extract stimulates skin to rev up circulation and minimize unwanted dimples from within. Rich in vitamins and minerals, sea kelp repairs damage in the skin by replenishing protein and supporting natural collagen production for smoother, tighter skin. Your skin feels tighter, cleaner and more toned after one use. Plus, the straight-from-the-beach fragrance doesn’t hurt, either.
“Our Promise: Spongellé products will always offer the most innovative technologies, the finest ingredients and the essential touches of luxury,” says founder Elaine Binder.
CHRISTIE BRINKLEY DAILY FACIAL EXFOLIATING POLISH ($24)
This creamy scrub is kind to skin while clearing pores, refining texture and stimulating skin turnover for a purified, smooth complexion. Even delicate, easily irritated skin benefits from exfoliation. Unlike many formulas, this skin polisher is 100-percent vegan to ensure sensitive skin is never disrupted.
One of the key players when it comes to exfoliation, when used in moderation, salicylic acid effectively sloughs away dead skin cells to reveal a perfectly even complexion. Aloe, the ultimate skin-soothing ingredient, works to calm redness or exasperation in the skin to keep irritation at bay and clear skin.
Founder Christie Brinkley says, “I’ve been exfoliating every day for over 40 years, so it was important for me to have an exfoliator in my line that works gentle enough to use every day but strong enough to give visible results.”
GOLDWELL STYLESIGN BIG FINISH VOLUME SPRAY ($20)
This addictive offering can be used as an overlay hairspray to support your finished look. It also adds shine and flexibility thanks to one of its main ingredients, elastomer polymer.
It also counts UVA/UVB filters and antioxidants as key ingredients designed to add shine and flexibility to any style. Dryness, frizz and breakage can be prevented and fixed by incorporating antioxidants into your hair-care routine. Crucial for protection against the harmful rays from the sun, look for UVA/UVB filters in hair products to not only safeguard your strands, but to also keep the integrity of your color.
“Goldwell StyleSign Big Finish Spray allows the beginning set and final finish that will give you style hold and memory finish hold that will perfect every styling look!” says Goldwell artistic director Rebecca Hiele.
TRUIST SKINCARE LOTION-INFUSED MOISTURIZING GLOVES (full size $13; three gloves)
Designed with soft cloth and a barrier that keeps lotion inside the glove, this deeply hydrating treat fits right into your schedule for a spa-like experience at home. Because the lotion never slips or seeps from within the gloves, you can wear them while using your phone or tablet sans any mess. Plus, they work their magic in just 15 minutes.
Perfect for skin in need of serious care, avocado douses dry patches with moisture. Vitamin E, popular for its ability to defend against aging and repair damaged skin, works to heal every speck of dryness.
John Polatz, CEO of Truist Skincare, says, “With all those cracked, dry hands out there this winter, these gloves help seal moisture in against the skin to allow it to be absorbed where it’s needed most.”

OSMOSIS SKINCARE STEMFACTOR (full size $140)
While it seems like a far-fetched claim to stimulate cell turnover, heal pigmentation and reverse aging all in one pump, this serum does it all and more. From discoloration to wrinkles, more than 150 different skin growth factors from adult stem cells are at the center of this serum that builds new collagen and elastin to address all signs of aging.
Extremely useful when it comes to treating skin conditions like acne and eczema, witch hazel has been used as an organic astringent for centuries due to its high antioxidant content. Alphahydroxy acid lactic acid, found in many anti-aging formulas, works to eliminate fine lines, wrinkles and effects of sun damage when applied topically.
“StemFactor is the most advanced growth factor serum available with more than 150 different growth factors made from stem cells and fibroblasts. It contains ‘exosomes,’ which improve the delivery of skin’s most important growth factors, thereby activating the repair of sun damage and aging in a highly effective manner,” says CEO and founder Ben Johnson, MD.
GRANDE BROW-FILL (full size $20)
If pencils or powders aren’t your cup of tea, you’re in luck. Foolproof and super long-lasting, this gel does the job of a brow filler and definer in one easy swipe.
Mini fibers and peptides adhere to even the thinnest brows to fill in sparse areas, build and define arches, plus it tames and conditions unruly hairs. Peptides help thicken brows and make them denser by delivering hefty doses of protein to the core of each strand.
CEO Alicia Grande says, “Brows define the face and help you look younger. I’ve developed this product to give you a natural-looking brow without the penciled-in look”
BEBELLA PROBIOTIC (full size set $310)
Infused with natural probiotics, this system provides a protective shield—both internally and externally—to ward off any imbalances in the skin and rejuvenate it from within. The set is thorough, including a facial cleanser, eye cream, hydrating night cream and facial essence to totally transform problematic skin from the inside-out. Probiotics create an all-around better complexion by treating concerns at the source without any irritation.
Cofounder Linda Krebs says, “BeBella Probiotic skincare provides the probiotic boost from outside in and inside out allowing nature to do the work, revealing radiant healthy skin.”
MISS SPA DETOXIFYING SELF HEATING FACIAL CRÈME MASK (full size $3)
Free of parabens, artificial dyes, fragrances and sulfates, this mask infuses skin with zero harsh ingredients for a fresh, healthy and non-irritated result. Citric acid exfoliates the top layer of skin to reveal a brighter, smoother and younger-looking complexion by lessening the appearance of large pores and fine lines. It warms and purges skin of pore-clogging oil to keep sebum production and midday shine at a minimum.
CEO Kate Kimmerle says, “Chock-full of minerals, this self-heating mask leaves skin looking and feeling soft, smooth and refreshed. It’s the ultimate detox for congested skin!”
VBEAUTÉ LIP SPREAD (full size $19)
VBEAUTÉ RUB OFF (full size $24)
These potent products go above and beyond their usual call of duty by turning back the clock on your skin and smile with every use and swipe. The triple-acting smoothing elixir cleanses, tones and exfoliates skin in seconds while the gloss features cocoa butter and papaya to reduce the appearance of fine lines on your pout for a visibly younger appearance. Its lovely scent aside, Swiss Alpine rose strengthens the skin barrier, while protecting against environmental stress, increasing the vitality of your skin.
“I personally curated these shades from the best fall and spring designer fashion collections. The exfoliator purifies your skin and minimizes pores while helping to regulate oil,” says founder and CEO, Julie Macklowe.
