Happy Paul

Happy Paul was conceived by a not-so-happy Paul (Founder, Paul Gerrard) who has lived with depression, and has spent much of his life looking for happy in all the wrong places.

Happy Paul is fresh, new self-care and wellness brand aimed to provide mood-lifting products; and is based upon an award-winning mood lifting fragrance, Bright Spice. The collection includes an Eau De Parfum, Roll-On Fragrance Oil, Hair and Body Wash, Cleanser, Scrub and Moisturiser and exists to lift one’s mood and encourage a little bit of effortless, everyday self-care.

The ingredients are a priority, as is the smile that forms the start and end point for all that Happy Paul does and creates:

“For me a smile is the most basic and yet dynamic form of self-care. It is restorative, transformative and completely contagious.” says Founder, Paul Gerrard. “I set out to create a mood lifting fragrance. That made me feel happy. I hope it makes you feel happy too.”

And it is only fitting that a percentage of all profits go to www.youngminds.org.uk – the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health, with a growing emphasis on self-care.

OSKIA is a (bare with me here) nutri-cosmeceutical brand, founded after a personal journey with the food supplement MSM, that specialises in bio-cellular skin nutrition.

Using complex scientific procedures such as plant stem cell technology, they combine them with natural ingredients and minerals to create great award-winning products.

Kivu Skincare’s Dermatologist-made mist (formulated by Dr Benedetta Brazzini, of the Marylebone Clinic, Harley Street), has astringent hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, and is the perfect hydrator and antioxidant solution not only for acne-prone and greasy skin, but all skin types can benefit from this mist after sun exposure, as it decreases UV damage and calms redness. It’s the perfect salve for after a workout at the gym, as its fights the lasting effects of sweat on the skin, and is lightweight, non-sticky and easy to apply.

Now don’t panic, but the main ingredient in this mist something called Helix Aspersa secretion – which also goes by the name of snail mucin. HOWEVER, if it’s popular and good enough for the celebrities this year, then you definitely know it’s going to be good!

This aftershave balm is infused with the scent and contains nourishing shea butter, aloe vera, cucumber and menthol to soothe and repair skin after every use.
