These are the new beauty launches to know.
Can’t believe it’s August? Us either, but on the plus side, there’s plenty of new beauty launches coming out this month to treat yourself to. Scroll down for nine of the best new beauty launches happening in August:
The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder
What you need to know: Cult Canadian skincare brand The Ordinary has launched a Niacinamide Powder which offers “the most direct topical exposure” of the skincare ingredient and allows users to customize their dose. It works to decrease shine and even out skin texture, as well as visibly reduce the size of pores. According to a release, the water-soluble formula can be mixed into any non-conflicting, water-based treatments “provided that the pH of the base is between 5.0 and 7.0.” If you’re a brand junkie, this means you can mix it with several products in the range including the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, “Buffet” + Copper Peptides 1%, Matrixyl 10% + HA and Argireline Solution 10%.

Weleda Awakening Oil

The oil harnesses the power of pomegranate seed oil (as well as eight other plant oils) to boost moisture and nourish the skin.
