Wild Brooklyn Lavender hand cream from DS & Durga: "Like a slice of Brooklyn, Brooklyn flowering in the early aughts where wild packs of dogs roamed free among savage weeds and anything seemed possible.

Travel size, for excellent and transportive moisturizing on the go." $8 for 30 ml (and also available in Big Sur After Rain) at Catbird NYC.
Boka's first toothpaste for kids: Orange Cream Space Paste. "Boka's first official kid's flavor, Orange Cream, has vibrant notes of oranges paired with creamy natural vanilla. The name, Space Paste, is a nod to NASA's invention of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHa) in the 1970's. The ingredient, once only enjoyed exclusively by astronauts, is now available to junior space voyagers." Fluoride free & SLS free, $12 for 113g at Beautyhabit.

Make your bath or shower ritual more indulgent with our long-lasting, plant-based, triple-milled Lilac soap.
