Travel Smart With Beardbrand’s New Solid Colognes

There’s nothing worse than arriving at your vacation destination, opening your luggage and realizing your cologne bottle has broken in your suitcase. Solid cologne is the key to smelling great while on the road. Unlike glass bottles of liquid fragrance, they’re easier to pack and won’t drench your wardrobe. Cult beard care brand Beardbrand’s new collection of solid colognes make great travel companions.

Let’s face it, not everyone on your flight will smell so good. But you will, with these new TSA friendly solid colognes. Beardbrand’s Silver Collection of colognes smell just as good as regular spray scents but are made with beeswax and jojoba oil instead of alcohol. Because they have a high concentration of natural fragrances these colognes have staying power. They evaporate less quickly on your skin than traditional liquids, so a little goes a long way. Apply sparingly to your pulse points like wrists, neck and behind the ears to improve your in-flight experience.

Polyglutamic acid is revolutionary when it comes to moisturizing
Polyglutamic Acid

The skincare world is full of hero ingredients that do yeoman’s duty in a variety of products, but there's always a "next big thing" ingredient waiting to work its wonders.  Hyaluronic acid has been the king of the hill for some time when it comes to moisturizing, but now there's a new contender for the throne.
It’s called polyglutamic acid — PGA for short, and it’s getting a lot of play for one major reason. It’s five times more hydrating than hydraluronic acid (HA), so it’s definitely got a lot to offer, and PGA is starting to turn up in an increasing number of products.
It is, new, though, so there’s a lot to unpack. Specifically, what benefits can you get from PGA? Where is it from, and how is it sourced? Is it easy to add to your skincare routine, or are there some hoops you need to jump through to do that?

Just what is polyglutamic acid?
