LIE BACK
Taking its name from the Egyptian goddess that personified concepts such as truth, balance and harmony, {MAAT} is all about mindful and meditative rituals that bring positivity to your day-to-day life. Formed during the pandemic —the sustained periods of isolation proved that a work-life balance was fundamental to wellness — this line is a luxe (and sustainable!) take on yoga and exercise mats; the mats are made from sustainably sourced natural tree rubber, cultivated via a process called rubber tapping that keeps the trees alive and can be reused for years. Winning even more brownie points, the mats are also recyclable and biodegradable, unlike PVC alternatives.
MUTHA NATURE
Made by a pregnant mother who wanted products she could actually trust (and who therefore set about concocting her own cream to help prevent stretch marks), {MUTHA} uses only the finest and purest ingredients. What began as a personal venture grew into MUTHA — a brand that champions self care both physically and emotionally via cruelty-free elixirs that care for your skin like your own MUTHA would…
BONDI-BOUND

We see a skin care haul on the sandy horizon…
NAILED IT
Leading the charge for change within the nail industry, {Manucurist} is a vegan and cruelty-free brand made in France. They pride themselves on swapping harsh ingredients (in the words of the brand, ‘endocrine disruptors and allergenic molecules’) for natural, eco-friendly alternatives that promote glossy, long-lasting manicures and healthy nails. Don’t know where to start? {Green Flash} is THE gel nail polish to know; it’s up to 84% bio-sourced and comes in a selection of shades for every mood.
