Drunk Elephant: Is the Viral Shelf Worth the Price?
Babyfacial, C-Firma, Protini — the cult clean brand, the products that earn it, and the ones you can leave on the table.
From the editor
This issue is a quiet shelf of things worth keeping: a rice-and-probiotics SPF that actually disappears on the skin, a massage gun that earns its price only if you will use it, a furniture brand that is beautiful if you shop the wood and skip the veneer.
Oriel still takes its name from a window. What we look at now are the objects that enter a life — beauty, recovery, rooms, journeys — and whether they deserve the space they ask for.
