Beauty Bible Loves... SACRED Skincare
Here’s another wonderful brand we’d like to give a shout-out to, in International Women’s Month – technically #IWD is a day, but we’ve had a great time s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g it out over all of March, dedicating every daily post to female-founded beauty brands.
Sacred skincare came onto our radar recently in a roundabout way via Instagram, and we’re sorry it took us so long to discover them. Sacred was founded in the beginning of 2020 (a heck of a time for a start-up); as founder Natalie Hughes explains, ‘I’ve always believed in minimal beauty routines and the power of little rituals. I advocate slow, mindful beauty and ageing well. After all,’ she adds, ‘our bodies are in a constant state of flux. The key to feeling beautiful is to work with this reality, not against it.’
Ingredients are 100% natural, cruelty-free and vegan, and – to quote Natalie again – ‘We’re always looking for ways to reduce waste, ruse and recycle and regenerate nature.’
One particular product caught our eye, originally, which is the Spring Revival Body Balm (because at this end of a long winter, our bodies DEFINITELY need that). It’s powered by rosehip oil, olive squalane, botanical butters (we can smell some cocoa butter in there), infused with a blend of sweet orange, frankincense, rosemary, eucalyptus and cedarwood oils. Great for feet, for last-thing-at-night massage (something we do ritually), but also for dry and flaky bits anywhere. We can almost feel our skin coming back to life, with each anointment…
There’s a great kit, above, The Rituals Collection, which contains the ‘star’ products from the range, in travel sizes: Elemental Glow Balancing Face Oil, Elemental Glow Luxury Candle, TLC Lip Balm (this is fab), and that Spring Revival balm. It comes with a card that guides you step-by-step towards a calmer, grounded self-care ritual.
Meanwhile, we reckon you’ll feel a bit more chilled just looking at the film on the home page of Sacred’s website…
