Syren Spreads and Furtuna Skin both blend time-honored botanicals with modern indulgence, proving true beauty begins with pleasure.
Syren Spreads
There’s hope for the world. Beauty chocolate is here. Syren Spreads just launched its brand-new Chocolate Hazelnut Beauty Supplement. The idea is this: good for you can, and should be, an indulgence. The brand believes that when wellness feels good, it becomes sustainable. Syren Spreads encourages you to make it a ritual, breaking into a busy morning, an afternoon pause, or a wind-down in the evening. What makes this scoopable silky chocolate spread so good for you and your skin? Ingredients include Tremelia mushroom, aka the beauty mushroom, which has long been used in Chinese beauty rituals to support skin’s moisture. It’s an adaptogen that helps bring the body into balance in response to occasional internal and external stressors.
Astragulus root, another adaptogenic in Syren, promotes skin resilience and stress response. Gotu Kola, known as the herb of longevity, is added to nurture collagen synthesis and elasticity. Lastly, bamboo silica supports the structure of hair, skin, and nails. Organic cacao, hazelnuts, and MCT oil are the delicious base for the four ancient beauty botanicals. Syren’s instructions are simple. “Take one tablespoon daily. Straight from the jar.” Spooning a tasty chocolate hazelnut spread from the jar? Totally achievable and sounds kinda good. Syren has a lush hazelnut truffle flavor that brings a smile to the face. And a smile from the heart instantly makes everyone a bit more beautiful.
Furtuna Skin
Remember that famous Sophia Loren quote: “Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.” With Furtuna Skin, the metaphorical camera pulls back from a table laden with gorgeous Italian food to show the bounty of the Sicilian countryside and how its beauty begets more beauty. After all, the ingredients for Furtuna skincare products are grown on an 800+ acre organic farm in Italy. Furtuna Skin is thoughtful in its farming and sourcing. Agatha Relota Luczo, Founder & CEO of Furtuna, says, “We source in a way that respects the natural ecosystem and protects potency.”
Their “Beneath the Olive Tree” gift set is an amazing introduction to this quiet luxury line. Inside, you’ll find antioxidant-rich LXR06 Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which they recommend that you start your day with a spoonful. It’s a fresh, verdant-tasting olive oil and a novel way to kick off your day. (Pro tip: Be careful timing the olive oil with your toothbrushing.) Then it’s time for a cup of the Olive Leaf Botanical Tea with a dollop of the Sicilian Black Bee Honey. This antioxidant-rich, caffeine-free tea is blended with chamomile leaves, making it perfect for morning or evening.
Wash your face with the Artisanal Italian Bar Soap. It combines organic olive oil, rich in phenolic antioxidants, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids, with three wild-foraged plants: wild organic lavender, wild organic chamomile, and wild organic elderflower. Each bar is unique-looking and gentle on the skin.
Furtuna’s immensely popular Biphase Moisturizing Oil is included, too. This face oil contains botanically infused olive oil and nutrient-rich olive leaf water to help visibly plump, protect, and replenish skin’s moisture barrier. You also get blue light defense from the oil’s 360° Exposome Defense® Complex, a proprietary blend that combines the powerful anti-blue light botanical calendula flower with other wildly potent, antioxidant-rich plants such as grape vine, dog rose, and poppy. And it sinks into the skin quickly and restores suppleness. Furtuna is the skincare you’d use in your dream Sicilian villa. It embodies the elegance, power, and efficacy of Mother Nature herself.
