One is from Berlin, the other from California… Girl Smells and Salt & Stone promise to brighten your spring and summer days! Jessica, our Director of Purchasing and Operations, has found two new beauty gems that will make your seasonal essentials much more fun and cleaner: girly deodorants, lip balms and ultra-convenient sun protection!
Girl Smells
It all began with two passionate women, Ella and Claire. Tired of constantly having to scrutinise the ingredients in their personal care products, they set out to create their own brand. Their firm belief that impeccable ingredients and effectiveness could go hand in hand led to their first products: natural deodorants. To make the switch easy for those used to conventional deodorants, Ella and Claire kept everything familiar, from the convenient roll-on packaging to the liquid texture… except the formula, which is 100% natural! Vanilla & Mandarin, Orange & Geranium or Lemon & Peppermint: plenty of ways to stay fresh all day! We also love their nourishing tinted lip balms and clear lip balms, easy to slip into your washbag or handbag.
Lisa, Retail Coach, shares her thoughts:
“I love its convenient yet classic format and its pleasant scent, which isn't overpowering. For me, it passed the test with flying colours: no body odour all day!”

Salt & Stone
Created just a year ago in California by a lively team of surfers and snowboarders, Salt & Stone sun protection products meet the demands of high-level athletes with 80 minutes of water resistance. They're also a must if you simply want to take a dip without risking a painful sunburn ;-) Their broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection is based mainly on zinc oxide: mineral filters that are ideal for even the most sensitive skin and for expectant mothers. We love the stick version, which provides very high protection (SPF50) and, as a bonus… it's tinted too!
Jessica, Director of Purchasing and Operations, shares her thoughts:
“I really fell for Salt & Stone! First, the brand name is a metaphor for the mountains and the sea… Just reading it had me dreaming of a holiday on the Brittany coast. What did I love most? You can really tell the brand was developed by Californian surfers: the products are so simple to use (especially the stick, which is so easy to apply and carry around), and the formulas are excellent, with no chemical filters to boot! In short, if you want to channel a Californian surfer in Biarritz this summer, THIS is the sunscreen to take to the beach.”
