Another month, another excuse for a fresh set of beauty products. One place to get your fix is Sephora, the beauty behemoth that stocks over hundreds of beauty brands. This always gives you something new to look forward to each season.
Craving some novel skincare infused with fresh seasonal ingredients or mood-boosting care products for a sensorial experience? Then here are four new brands to check out.
01 - Daily Habits
Sisters Karol, a former aesthetician, and acupuncturist-in-training Kamila, together founded Daily Habits. The Miami-based brand takes a holistic approach to balancing mind, body and skin. Not sure where to start? Feed your skin a blend of black cumin, blue tansy and meadowsweet with the Bliss Face Oil (SGD65 for 30 ml). Besides deeply hydrating and calming skin, it can also act as an oil cleanser.
Aside from nutrient-rich skincare products that utilise ingredients derived from nature, it also has a line of skincare tools. These include gua sha stones and cupping kits for a routine to keep skin healthy and glowing. Prices range from SGD33 for their scalp massage brush to SGD90 for the Green Adventure Gua Sha Stone.

02 - Salt & Stone
Bringing the shores of California closer to ours is this Los Angeles label from Nima Jalali. The former professional snowboarder created Salt & Stone to deliver skincare and self-care that forms a connection to the natural world. By combining active ingredients from the sea and mountains with skin science and intoxicating fragrances, its sensorial products offer a restorative experience.
Prices range from SGD33 for the cult-favourite deodorant to SGD80 for a scented candle. There’s also the Santal & Vetiver Body Wash (SGD58) that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine. Get ready to refresh your senses and soothe your skin. SALT & STONE
03 - Sioris
Clean beauty brands are indeed a-plenty. But what sets this K-beauty label apart is its use of fresh, seasonal organic ingredients. Sioris sources these directly from farms in South Korea in order to maximise their nutritional value. Case in point, its bestselling facial mist is enriched with yuja citrus fruit water during its autumn production, while its spring production features green plum water.
Prices range from SGD10 for a 30 ml tube of the Cleanse Me Softly Milk Cleanser to SGD62 for a 100 ml Light It Up Essener. Another must-try is the bi-phase Time Is Running Out Mist (SGD17 for 30 ml and SGD39 for 100 ml). The hardworking signature product works as a toner, mist and serum, all at once. SIORIS
04 - Sol De Janerio
The name of this Brazilian brand translates to ‘sun of January’, when the summer sun hits its zenith. Its aim? To bring that blissful peak summer feeling to everyone while feeling good in your skin. Thanks to Sol De Janerio’s deliciously scented and benefit-rich collection of body care, hair care and fragrances, of course.
Prices range from SGD19 for its Brazilian Joja Strengthening + Smoothing Shampoo to SGD82 for the Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil. Not forgetting the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (SGD35 for 75 ml and SGD77 for 240 ml). The star product is formulated with caffeine-rich berry guaraná to stimulate microcirculation for tighter-looking skin. SOL DE JANERIO
