There has been a boom in hand hygiene and hand care products as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant jump in products that care and soothe.
MiniLuxe, the brand known for clean self-care in both their industry leading nail studios and line of non-toxic, vegan, cruelty- and gluten-free nail polish and treatments, is adding to their portfolio of products by introducing their collection of hand and body care to continue their mission of making self-care an everyday luxury in a clean and conscious way.
Launching on 8/26, the Care Collection is a suite of self-care products that includes hand and body creams, salt and sugar scrubs and a foot balm with ingredients that boast benefits such as brightness, moisture, anti-aging and relaxation. The Care Collection can be used in salon and spa services, of course, but it's also a new retail offering. Clients can extend the pampering you provide and take care of themselves at home, in between appointments.
MiniLuxe Anti-Aging Hand Cream ($32) - With natural, time-stopping ingredients including squalene, and antioxidant superhero vitamin E, MiniLuxe's Anti-Aging Hand Cream leaves a slight sheen on your skin to see a difference instantly while also being quick-absorbing and non-greasy so you can get on with your day
MiniLuxe Hydrating Foot Balm ($32) - Put your feet up at the end of the long day and treat them with this hydrating balm. Made with eucalyptus, a natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, menthol to soothe tired feet, and shea butter to keep them soft and nourished, this foot balm extends the life of your pedicure so you’re always sandal-ready.
MiniLuxe Himalayan Salt Scrub ($40) - The Himalayan Salt Scrub gently exfoliates dead skin and stimulates and detoxifies for brighter, softer skin. Boasting a lovely lavender scent, this scrub invites a deep sense of calmness and relaxation.
Pairs well with the MiniLuxe Body Cream
MiniLuxe Body Cream – Two Scents, Citrus/Fresh ($30) - Hydrating shea butter softens and nourishes, and the non-greasy silk finish dries and absorbs quickly.
Pairs well with the MiniLuxe Himalayan Salt Scrub and/or Sugar Scrub
MiniLuxe Sugar Scrub - Two Scents, Citrus/Fresh ($40) - This easy-to-spread, emollient Sugar Scrub won’t crumble when you massage it into your skin, but it dissolves easily in water, and is gentle enough for freshly shaved skin. Just the thing when you’re in need of a treat.
