Drunk Elephant’s new must-haves for year-round skin care
Check out Drunk Elephant's new products
drunk elephant mello marula cleanser therabu hand cream creative 33 2000px 300dpi

It's always big news when multipurpose skincare products become available, and it's especially fun if at least one has a unique origin story. That’s definitely the case for the first, Drunk Elephant’s new Mello Marula Cream Cleanser, which was inspired by a request for a cleanser that would also work as a shaving cream. The second DE offering, Therabu Buttered Reparative Hand Cream, provides the ultimate in winter skincare to ward off the effects of cold and harsh winter conditions.
The story behind Mellow Marula began when founder Tiffany Masterson needed to create a gentle cream that would remove water-resistant makeup, sunscreen, and the daily effects of pollution. Meanwhile, her husband also wanted a product that could be used as a shaving cream as well as part of a comprehensive skin care routine. She told him to mix two other Drunk Elephant products, Slaai and Beste, and the results were so impressive that she decided a two-in-one product was in order.

The Mello Marula package
The three key ingredients here are colloidal oatmeal, which has antioxidant properties and can soothe skin and reduce redness. The cream also includes marula oil, which provides antioxidants along with omegas 6 and 9 to help moisturize and nourish skin. The third member of this trio is shorea stenotera seed butter, which is rich enough to moisturize effectively and also contains vital fatty acids.
In keeping with the versatility theme, Mello Marula is a low-lather formula with an attractive vanilla scent, hence the appeal as a shaving cream. Like all of Drunk Elephant’s products, it’s free of silicones, dyes, solvent alcohols, and sulfate surfactants. It can be used daily on wet or dry skin, and Mello Marula can also be combined with the company’s other products.
The initial test results were impressive. Mellow Marula rinses off easily and completely, and over 90 percent of the participants said their skin was both soothed and comforted with consistent use.

The secret to tackling coffee stains: teeth whitening powder
Proactively stay ahead of coffee stains
Teeth whitening powder

As a daily coffee drinker (and addict), it's safe to say I've tried nearly every teeth whitening product on the market. Despite my best efforts, such as using a straw when drinking iced coffee, consuming three cups of coffee a day leaves me with quite a few coffee stains.  From whitening strips to on-the-go whitening pens, I'm always open to trying new ways to stay ahead of coffee stains. Plenty of whitening products on the market can make a difference in coffee stains, but they are only as good as my willingness to use them.

For me, whitening pens never seemed to make my teeth whiter. The whitening strips did seem to work, but the process of using them is enough to make me steer clear. Most whitening strips I've tried take at least 30 minutes and are unpleasant. Fortunately, I've recently discovered a game changer: teeth whitening powder. Meanwhile, brushing your teeth with teeth whitening powder takes only a few minutes and can easily be added to my regular oral hygiene routine. Here's why I use teeth whitening powder to fight against coffee stains.
