192 – that’s how many shea nuts are used to comprise each package of this melting shea butter. 100% natural, vegan-friendly and sourced via Community Trade practices by Ghanaian women, you can massage this multipurpose moisturizer from head to toe to restore dry skin and hair. It’s soothing quality makes it ideal for sensitive skin or any extra-parched spot in need of nourishing treatment, i.e. chapped lips, brittle cuticles or sandpaper-y elbows.

Infused with glycerin, shea butter, oat kernel meal and aloe leaf juice, this soap bar cleanses and calms irritated skin. Whether faced with clogged pores or a weakened moisture barrier, this sulfate- and mineral oil-free cleanser refreshes without over-drying.

Angelina swears by witch hazel toner with rose petals, and we are here for it! Our fave by an iconic French skin care brand is an alcohol-free spritz with four different types of floral waters (rose, orange, cornflower and hamamélis, aka witch hazel). An excellent choice post-cleansing to prep skin for serum absorption, we also love that investing in one hefty, long-lasting bottle won’t leave a dent in your wallet.
