Juniper Ridge’s New Look

Juniper Ridge has a new look for fall. The rustic fragrance company has an updated rustic bottle that emphasizes the brands devotion to the wilderness.

The fragrance brand’s new bottles are as bold as their scents, and their story is even bolder – Juniper Ridge was founded by Hall Newbegin, a wilderness enthusiast in 1998. He spent countless hours harvesting plants and making natural fragrances from his kitchen and then selling his products at farmer’s markets in Berkeley and San Francisco.

The fragrance brand started to gain a following and the company has grown from Hall to a fifteen person operation. Hiking and foraging enthusiasts uniting to create great scents! Although the business has expanded, the brand sticks to their roots – making their signature scents from the mountains and deserts they love.

Now let’s discuss the updated designs. The Backpacker’s Cologne, Trail Soap and Cabin Sprays are encased in glass bottles that feature trail paintings by the company’s chief storyteller Obi Kaufmann. The colognes and soaps are also topped off with a hand-carved wooded cap (created in their Oakland workshop of course).

Along with the new designs, Juniper Ridge is also releasing two fragrances, Mojave –a snapshot of the brands favorite trail through the Mojave desert (desert cedar, leather and tonic) and Sierra Granite, which evokes the scents of a cabin in the woods.

Juniper Ridge distills their colognes and perfumes from everything nature has to offer – bark, moss, mushrooms, tree trimmings and plants you’ve never heard of. It’s an expedition in a bottle.

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?

Packing for a trip means making smart choices — especially when it comes to grooming. If cologne is part of your daily routine, hauling around a full-size bottle just isn’t practical. That’s where travel-size spray colognes come in: same great scent, just in a compact, easy-to-pack version.
