Commence By Brooke Shields
Brooke Shields’ latest project is going straight to our heads: a collection of three hair and scalp treatments for women over 40. “We developed these products with passion and purpose, designed to be easy, effective, and additive to your hair care routine,” said Shields, Founder and CEO of Commence By Brooke Shields.

The range includes a root serum ($30), shampoo ($21), and conditioner ($26), all made with vitamin-rich alfalfa extract, antioxidant-packed açai stem cells, Lactobacillus ferment probiotic, and amino acids derived from quinoa. “The more I learn and know, the more I want to do to help other women age fearlessly, honestly, and beautifully,” Shields added. Launched June 4, the products sell for $21 – $30 and are available at shopcommence.com.

D.S. & Durga Let’s Dive Eau de Toilette
Luxury fragrance house D.S. & Durga took a deep dive into the sea for its latest scent, a marine-inspired eau de toilette made in collaboration with Project CETI. The non-profit organization studies and translates communication of sperm whales in Dominica, which inspired playful notes like “big whale energy” and marine water, along with seaweed extract, and woolly rock rose. Let’s Dive also contains a toasty Choya Nahk accord, made by distilling roasted seashells. “Getting to work with a real scientist who is expanding our understanding of our world is something new and special to me,” said David Seth Moltz, Perfumer & Co-Founder of D.S. & Durga. “We wanted to capture the serene feeling and scent of diving with whales. It’s oceanic and soft, ozonic and a meditation on ambergris, one of perfume’s true heroes.” The brand’s synthesized ambergris is a dupe of the musky note traditionally derived from whale secretions. Launched June 8 in honor of World Ocean Day, the fragrance sells for $250 and is available at dsanddurga.com.

Facegym x Isamaya Sculpt 01
Makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench and FaceGym founder Inge Theron have teamed up to create a gua sha tool that looks more like modern art than a staple for your beauty vanity. The sculptural metal objet combines expertise of both women, garnered from years in the cosmetics and wellness industries, resulting in a tool to help massage areas of the face, neck and scalp. The comb side can be used on the neck to stimulate lymphatic drainage while the large curved edge is designed to contour cheeks and nasolabial folds. There’s also a ball tip to target reflexology points along the brow and a scalp claw to relieve scalp tension. “When Isamaya asked me to collaborate on a face-sculpting tool, there was only one answer. Hell yes!” Theron said.  “I spent weeks in Korea working up a new routine for the scalp facelift. This has all my favorite tricks,” she added. Launched June 1, the tool sells for $60 and is available at facegym.com and isamaya.com.

Goop Beauty FeatherLash Lifting Serum Mascara
Gwyneth Paltrow and her team at Goop are rolling out the brand’s first-ever mascara. “I didn’t start as a big mascara person, but when you need a really major mascara, as I do on the red carpet and for events, you need one. And I’d never found a clean one that did the job,” said Paltrow, Goop Founder and CEO. “What I love about this one is it really lifts my lashes and makes my eyes stand out. You can do one coat for everyday situations and then three or four for the big-event moments in your life.” The organic formula combines treatment serum, a blend of biotin, tripeptide, and vitamin B5 complex. The mascara tube features a tapered brush with alternating bristle lengths to hold extra formula and separate individual hairs, which the brand says makes lashes look longer, fuller, and stronger. Available in black only. Launched June 16, the mascara sells for $28 and is available at goop.com.

Hårklinikken Hair Supplements
This new vegan supplement has been in the works for a decade, but famed hair expert Lars Skjøth and his Hårklinikken team finally found the right formula.“The most compelling thing about our Hair Supplement is the synergy between our formulation and choosing ingredients of the highest quality, efficacy level and bioavailability,” Skjøth said. “Our aim is to help inhibit factors that can impair hair health and boost elements that improve hair growth and quality. Many people don’t realize that hair is impacted by multiple factors, not always localized to the scalp,” he added. Each capsule contains biotin adenosine, saw palmetto extract, Ashwagandha root, probiotic Lactobacillus casei, and pomegranate extract to help boost growth, strength, and quality of hair while supporting gut function and boosting nutrient absorption. Launched June 5, the supplements sell for $82 (60 capsules) and are available at harklinikken.com.

The range includes mauves, browns, champagnes and grays in both shimmer and matte finishes.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 48 Perfume Mist
The Brazilian brand’s latest perfume mist is an olfactive nod to the birth of the bikini, which first made its first appearance in 1948 on Rio de Janiero’s Praia do Arpoador beach. To recreate the feeling of retro beach life in Brazil, perfumer Jerome Epinette blended tropical notes like guava nectar and fresh coconut water with a rich, warm heart and base. “To capture the vacation aesthetic, I turned to uplifting top notes like lemon zest and pink pepper, then added bold florals with a very gourmand back. Think cotton candy, vanilla, and musks. This bottles up the truly joyful, feel-good spirit of a getaway,” said Epinette. The fragrance launched exclusively at Ulta.   “Cheirosa 48 Perfume Mist captures the essence of that ultimate getaway, bottling up the truly feel-good spirit of a tropical escape through a succulent aroma,” the brand added. Launching June 23, the perfume mist sells for $38 and is available at Ulta Beauty stores and on SoldeJaneiro.com and ulta.com.

Even though Creal saw great innovation in ingredients and technology over the years, she noticed that most products do not perform well on skin of all ages. “We are inspired by strong women and want them to enjoy beauty as much now as they did in their 20s. Sarah Creal Beauty is not a consolation prize for women over 40, but a reward for all the steps it took to get here. I want every woman to enjoy the journey and feel amazing every day,” she added. The collection includes an eye cream, brightening essence, sunscreen serum, concealer, tubing mascara, solid lip serum, and makeup brush. Launched June 3, the products sell for $40 – $95 and are available at sarahcrealbeauty.com.
