OUR WEEKLY BREAKDOWN of everything in our editors’ pantries, go-bags, bathroom cabinets, health and wellness spaces that we’re obsessing over at the moment.
IOTA SUPERGREENS SET
Have you ever wondered why you have a 50-step skincare routine for your face, and yet all you do for your body is wash and moisturize (hopefully both of these things!). iota’s super clean Supergreens Set, which includes their Body Wash, Body Serum, and Body Lotion, is the ultimate “face-grade” routine made just for our bodies (yes, your body needs serum too).
All of their products have been thoughtfully formulated with nutritional, microbiome-supporting ingredients such as 47 supergreen multivitamins, adaptogens, antioxidants, minerals, and face-grade actives like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and copper peptides that are as effective as they are gentle and best for health and wellness. With all of the green juicing, smoothie-ing, and tonic elixir-ing we do to glow from the inside out, it just made sense to give ourselves full-body wellness to glow from the outside in.
BRANCHE NO.1 & NO.2
Olive oil is the cooking essential in almost every kitchen, but what about in every health and wellness routine? We’ve been keeping our eyes on the luxury olive oil trend for a while now, but one that we crossed paths with recently has us “hitting the bottle” over and over again. Branche’s No.1 & No.2 is the perfect match, made from olives that are only harvested in small batches….in November…in Spain (three things we love!). The result is two outstanding olive oils with two completely different flavor profiles and richness. No. 1 delivers a more complex flavor profile, meant to provide dishes on the decadent or elaborate side of the spectrum. Think: spicy, bold, tangy, aromatic. The No. 2 is more delicate, balanced, and subtle, meant more for light sautées or salads. Think: buttery, fruity, nutty.
Obviously, these olive oils are premium stand-outs for any dishes, but we’ve been taking it a step further by drinking a tablespoon every night before we go to sleep for an extra glow-worthy, antioxidant boost.
GREAT JONES KING SEAR PAN
A decade ago, almost no one was talking about PFAS, which are also known as “forever chemicals” that disrupt our endocrine system and can take thousands of years to break down in the environment. Nowadays, people have caught onto these carcinogenic substances being snuck into our beauty products, clothing, and cookware.
Women-run Great Jones has somehow managed to design kitchen essentials that feel as though they’ve been passed down for generations without all of the toxic chemicals, and Their King Sear Pan is no exception. This new take on the old school cast-iron skillet packs a weighted punch with a 12-inch pan that is pre-seasoned for minimal maintenance, and provides the perfect crisp and pop of color.
REBALANCE ANXIETY SYSTEM
It’s rare to find a supplement brand that hopes to give you everything you need to get to the root of your imbalances and not really need supplements at all. That brand is Rebalance, whose approach focuses on helping to balance one’s hormones throughout the day using synergistic Superceuticals® in a lozenge-based “system” that can be easily consumed as a part of any daily routine.
Their Anxiety System specifically targets cortisol and other hormones using mood-stabilizing, central nervous system-supporting ingredients like ashwagandha, bacopa, beet root powder, cordyceps mushrooms, and many more. All of their formulas have been built with a team of experts and specialists in endocrinology, naturopathy, cortisol, and age management for optimal performance, quality, and bioavailability. Now that’s science.
FLOOF SOOTHING CREAM
With summer kicked into high gear, our furry besties are having to carry the burden of walking on scalding hot asphalt (should you be city-inclined) just to go for their daily walks. This can lead to dry, irritated paws and owner anxiety that IYKYK.
Formulated alongside a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologist, Floof’s Soothing Cream has all-star, natural ingredients that even we would use in our daily skincare regimens. With a nourishing blend of almond, coconut, and jojoba oil, as well as mango butter and calendula, this moisturizing cream is the ultimate go-to for dry paw pads, rough nose patches, and other dry or irritated areas. And don’t worry about any incessant licking. This formula is specifically fragrance-free. We also, admittedly, love their Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner, which leaves our pets shining bright like a diamond after every wash (without itching!).
