The skin is the largest organ in your body, so we need to take the best care of it that we can. We shouldn’t let the sun’s harmful rays hit our skin, unless we want a leathery texture, annoying spots or the other countless things that can happen to our skin. We also need to give it the nutrients it needs.

The folks at Ursa Major, an organic grooming line, created the brand “to provide a healthy and highly effective skin care solution that’s also a real pleasure to use – a robust, natural alternative to the bland, toxin-laden products that pervade today’s marketplace.” Everything is 99 to 100 percent natural, cleanly processed, and has zero toxins.

They also use nature’s finest ingredients to produce grooming products that nourish your skin, ingredients that they refer to as “super natural.” You can have clear, healthy skin in three-and-a-half simple steps. First, start out by lathering your face up with the foaming gel cleanser with a natural brightening complex. Next, spray on the 4-in-1 essential face tonic to clean, exfoliate, soothe, and hydrate your skin. Afterwards, use the fortifying face balm to moisturize and prevent those pesky wrinkles. When you’re on the go pack up the essential face wipes — single-use versions of the 4-in-1 essential face tonic to freshen up while you’re on the move.

If you’re interested in seeing just how well the three-and-a-half steps work for you, Ursa Major made the perfect trial kit. The Clear, Healthy Skin Kit is a two-week supply of all of the products, so you can decide if you’ll want to go full sized — and we’re pretty sure you will — or, if you need trial sizes when you’re going a trip half way across the world. That way you’ll have everything you need to keep your skin looking fresh, healthy and youthful.

When you have healthy skin, you’ll feel great about everything else, and the Ursa Major Clear, Healthy Skin Kit will put you on your way to the skin you’ve always wanted, so you can impress everyone else.

Iconic monsters define the latest Dr. Squatch soaps
Dr. Squatch gets monstrous for its latest soap release
Dr. Squatch Godzilla King soaps

When it comes to new soap releases and the role that marketing plays in the clean-up process, breaking down a Dr. Squatch promo is like entering a unique portal where some of the specifics take some very different twists and turns.
That’s definitely the case for this release, which features a pair of iconic monsters: Godzilla and King Kong. They’re inspired by last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which redefined this old-school sci fi rivalry by bringing in over $500 million at the box office.

ALTAIA’s Woo(E)D features exotic international fragrances
ALTAIA is an Italian company with an international approach to fragrances
ALTAIA WOO(E)D men's cologne

With a product name that leans heavily into the concept of seduction, ALTAIA is taking an intriguing approach to masculinity in its latest eau de parfum release. There’s more than a little ambiguity behind the “who seduces who?” question behind the name, and the foundation fragrances are designed to enhance and deepen that mystery.
ALTAIA is an Italian company with a flair for internationally-based fragrances, so it isn’t completely surprising that the foundation here consists of a combination of Atlas cedar, Gaiac wood, and cistus. This combination is well worth exploring, so let’s go there.

Not the usual woody foundation fragrances
 
While cedar might feel familiar as a foundation ingredient in men’s fragrances, this particular version is different.  Atlas cedar is native to the Atlas mountains in Algeria and Morocco, and it’s prized for having a warm scent that also offers a hint of delicate sweetness.
Gaiac wood is equally unique. It comes from a tree native to South America, and its smoky, sweet scent blends with both its woody cousin and the leather in the next layer. It offers traces of amber, too, and in its natural form this versatile, super-hard wood is used in both tool handles and traditional medicine.
Cistus has its own special origins, too. It grows wild in the areas around the Mediterranean, and it produces labdanum, a sticky resin that’s a staple of the perfume and fragrance world. It’s often used to support wood fragrances in the base layer, so it’s not surprising to see it turn up here. Perfumers see it as both cozy and romantic, hence the appeal in a fragrance that seeks to evoke this level of romanticism.
After an early April release, WOO(E)D is now available in the US. It is available in 100 mL  quantities for $230. It’s an expensive offering, but ATLAIA is hoping it will entice younger buyers, especially, to try some of the company’s other unusual fragrances.
