We’re always on the hunt for innovative wellness and beauty products that really work. Most of our favorites come from small, independent brands that we’ve watched grow over the years, from May Lindstrom to Kypris Beauty.

From bacteria spray that promises to replace your moisturizer to a CBD body oil that’ll balance all the things, check out these interesting products, then join us later this month at the IBE.

The Seaweed Bath Co Firm + Lift Treatment Mask | This brand isn’t new, but the value of sea veggies for the skin is still a revelation to most.
