Topicals Bright Eyes & Slick Lips Kit Holiday 2026: Products, Shades & Price

Topicals Bright Eyes & Slick Lips Kit box beside Canela and Fresa Slick Salve tubes and brown and pink Faded eye masks

Tired eyes and dry lips tend to show up together once the weather turns. Topicals has a gift set for both: the Bright Eyes & Slick Lips Kit, a limited-edition Holiday 2026 Sephora exclusive. It's newly listed at Sephora with a "New" badge and no reviews yet. It pairs the brand's cooling Faded Brightening Under Eye Masks with two bundle-exclusive shades of the Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm. The promise is hydrated lips and visibly brighter under-eyes in 15 minutes.

Topicals also has a second new gift set at Sephora this season: the Topicals Faded Dark Spot Kit Gift Set, a $28 three-step set with a Faded cleansing bar, peel pads and dark spot patches.

What's Inside: The Products

The set includes:

  • Faded Brightening Under Eye Mask in Pink
  • Faded Brightening Under Eye Mask in Cognac
  • Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm in Fresa (15 mL / 0.5 oz)
  • Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm in Canela (15 mL / 0.5 oz)

The packshot shows one pair of each eye mask.

The kit costs $30 in the US. Sephora says buying the items separately would cost $45. Topicals hasn't published a per-item price breakdown, so we can't show how that figure is calculated.

The Shades

The two lip shades are exclusive to this bundle:

  • Fresa is a pinky mauve with a strawberry scent.
  • Canela is a sheer, rich brown with a spiced scent.

The Cognac eye mask isn't exclusive. Topicals also sells Cognac Faded Under Eye Masks on its own site at $22 for 6 pairs.

Why the Faded Eye Mask Works

The Faded masks are made in Korea from a cooling hydrogel that gives an instant chill. The key ingredients are:

  • Caffeine, which helps lessen the look of dark circles and wakes up the under-eye area.
  • Kojic acid, an antioxidant that helps even out the look of dark spots.
  • Arbutin, a plant extract that fades the look of excess pigmentation.

Topicals ran a two-week independent clinical study and questionnaire with 33 participants:

  • 94% said their under-eyes looked brighter right after use.
  • 94% said the area felt more hydrated and smoother.
  • 85% said their dark circles appeared lighter.
  • The brand also reports a 17% reduction in the appearance of dark circles after two weeks.

Slick Salve: Serious Lip Hydration

Slick Salve uses what Topicals calls "Cling Technology" to lock in moisture and protect lips from drying elements. It's built for severe dryness. Ceramides help strengthen the moisture barrier, while hyaluronic acid and glycerin add hydration. Rice bran wax, a vegan wax, conditions and softens lips while preserving moisture. The balm is 100% vegan.

The whole kit is cruelty-free. It's free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and SLS/SLES, and contains less than 1% synthetic fragrance.

How to Use the Kit

  1. Chill first. Store the masks in the fridge for an extra-cooling treat.
  2. Apply to clean skin. Leave the masks on the under-eye area for 15 minutes, two to three times a week.
  3. Try the reverse trick. Put the round end near your nose, where darkness and puffiness tend to sit. Or point it towards your temples to target dehydration lines.
  4. Finish with Slick Salve. Smooth on Fresa or Canela while the mask works, then reapply through the day.

Where to Buy

  • US: Sephora ($30)
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • International: Sephora Canada (C$40.50); other markets not yet confirmed

This is a limited-edition holiday set, so it may not stay in stock for long.

Biossance 10 Days of Wonder Advent Calendar 2026: Release Date, Products & Price

Open teal Biossance advent calendar with pink-to-mint numbered doors, gold ribbon and skincare products arranged in front

Holiday countdown season is officially here, and the latest skincare calendar to land is the Biossance 10 Days of Wonder Advent Calendar 2026. This limited-edition set packs ten days of the brand's squalane-powered bestsellers, mixing travel and full sizes, into a teal book-style box with holographic foil inspired by the Northern Lights. It's up for pre-order now, so here's everything you need to know about the release date, products and price.

Price and Value

The calendar costs $99, while Biossance puts the value of the contents if bought separately at $216, which the brand says is a saving of $117 (54% off). Biossance doesn't publish an item-by-item breakdown for the travel sizes, so that $216 figure is the brand's own.

What's Inside: All 10 Products

Biossance hasn't revealed which door holds which item, but the full lineup is confirmed:

  • Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser – travel size, 50ml
  • Squalane + 5% Niacinamide Brightening Eye Serum – full size, 15ml
  • Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream – travel size, 5ml
  • Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum – travel size, 12ml
  • Squalane + Omega Repair Cream – travel size, 15ml
  • Squalane + Firm and Lift Dual Serum – travel size, 12ml
  • Squalane + Ectoin Overnight Rescue – travel size, 14ml
  • Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil – travel size, 12ml
  • Pro-Peptide Lip Perfector in H2Glow – full size, 15g
  • Creaseless Hair Clips – green leaf-shaped clips

Why It's Worth Unwrapping

Biossance describes the set as a curated lineup that runs "from powerful hydration to visible plumping," and the brand-reported results back that up:

  • Omega Repair Cream: 100% showed improved skin hydration five minutes after use (clinical study, 35 women)
  • Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum: 97% noticed improved firmness and elasticity after one week (consumer study, 31 women)
  • Ectoin Overnight Rescue: 97% saw reduced irritation and dryness after four weeks (28-day consumer study, 33 women)
  • Firm and Lift Dual Serum: 92% agreed it was immediately effective on fine lines (questionnaires, 24 subjects)
  • Vitamin C Rose Oil: 91% agreed skin had a healthy radiant glow (21-day consumer study, 32 women)

There are accolades too. The Marine Algae Eye Cream, Omega Repair Cream and Ectoin Overnight Rescue are accepted by the National Eczema Association, which is good news for sensitive skin. Vitamin C Rose Oil is an Allure and Glamour Readers' Choice winner, and the Lip Perfector won Allure Best of Clean Skincare 2025.

How to Use Your Calendar Finds

Build a simple routine as you open each door:

  1. Cleanse: Work 1–2 pumps of the Amino Aloe cleanser into a lather and massage it onto damp skin for 30 seconds.
  2. Treat: Shake the Firm and Lift Dual Serum to activate it, or press in a dropper of the Copper Peptide serum.
  3. Eyes: Use the niacinamide serum's rolling applicator in outward motions, then tap on the Marine Algae Eye Cream with your ring finger.
  4. Night: Finish with Ectoin Overnight Rescue, which is formulated for nighttime use.
  5. Glow: Press a few drops of Vitamin C Rose Oil onto clean skin.

Keep the Lip Perfector in your bag. It works on its own or layered over matte lipstick.

Where to Buy

  • US: Biossance ($99, pre-order). Sephora and Ulta Beauty: not yet confirmed.
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • International: Not yet confirmed

With only ten doors and a limited run, this is one to grab early if you want your holiday glow sorted.

U Beauty Holiday 2026 Gift Sets: Release Date, Products & Prices

Stacked white U Beauty gift boxes for The Barrier Set, The Foundational Set and The Icons Set against a dark backdrop

The U Beauty Holiday 2026 gift sets have landed, and they're some of the most useful skincare gifts of the season. The brand calls them "three expressions of the U Beauty ritual," with one set for the devoted ritualist, one for the glow chaser and one for the minimalist. All are limited-edition, and every formula uses U Beauty's SIREN Capsule Technology delivery system.

The Products: Three Rituals, Three Personalities

The Foundational Set is the complete face-to-décolleté routine. You get the Resurfacing Compound, which pairs stabilized vitamins C + E with a gentle retinoid (retinyl palmitate) and glycolic, mandelic and lactobionic acids to smooth texture and brighten tone. It also includes The SUPER Hydrator, which uses five types of hyaluronic acid for up to 48 hours of hydration, and The SCULPT Neck + Décolleté Concentrate, which targets the often-forgotten skin of the neck, chest and jawline. The set costs $172. Buying the three items separately would cost $214 ($88 + $68 + $58).

The Barrier Set is a day-to-night duo for barrier care. The BARRIER Bioactive Treatment is an overnight treatment with PDRN (sodium DNA) that restores bounce and suppleness. The BARRIER Bioactive Mist is a microbiome-friendly serum-mist with a postbiotic ferment and ectoin, and it also refreshes makeup on the go. The set costs $98, against $116 if bought separately ($78 + $38).

The Icons Set is for less-is-more devotees. It pairs the bestselling Resurfacing Compound and SUPER Hydrator in full 50ml sizes for dewy, glass-like skin. It costs $348, while the two products bought individually would total $396 ($228 + $168).

There's also a fourth option, available only at Sephora US. The Super Sculpt Set is described as super-limited and costs $168 ($206 value). It includes a full-size SCULPT Concentrate, a mini SUPER Hydrator and U Beauty's Signature Beauty Bag.

How to Use

  • Resurfacing Compound: After cleansing, massage 2–3 pumps onto dry skin, morning, evening or both.
  • SCULPT Concentrate: Smooth onto the neck in upward strokes.
  • SUPER Hydrator: Let your skin dry, then seal everything in with 2–3 pumps. Reapply any time your skin needs a boost.
  • BARRIER Treatment: Apply a generous layer on at least 2–3 nights a week. Pat it on rather than rubbing it in, because it's designed to sit on the skin barrier.
  • BARRIER Mist: Shake well and spray as your last step. Use it again over makeup during the day.

Gifting tip: The Barrier Set is the most accessible of these products and a great introduction to the brand. The Icons Set is the best pick for someone who already loves U Beauty.

prept Clinic-Grade Hypochlorous Skin Prep: Products & What's New

prept Clinic-Grade Hypochlorous Skin Prep: Products & What's New

Pale blue 500ml prept pro hypochlorous solution bottle with white disc cap and vertical white logo on a white background

Hypochlorous has quietly become one of the most talked-about ingredients in professional skincare, and a new UK brand wants to change how clinics think about it. prept, co-founded by Dr Kam Lally, is a clinic-grade hypochlorous skin-preparation range built on a simple idea: two ingredients, nothing more. It launches first for clinics and practitioners, with a take-home mist for consumers on the way.

What's New About prept

Not all hypochlorous solutions are made the same way, and labels rarely say which method was used. According to the brand, much of the hypochlorous on the market is made by acidifying bleach. prept takes a different route: it is produced in the UK through electrolysis of purified water and medical-grade salt.

The result is a pH-balanced solution with 99.6% purity, independently validated. Hypochlorous is also something the body already makes, which is part of why it suits sensitive skin so well. The brand sums it up as "hypochlorous as nature designed it."

Key Benefits

  • Cleanses and refreshes skin without stripping it
  • Visibly calms redness
  • Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin
  • Hypoallergenic and dermatologist approved
  • Safe for use during pregnancy

The Two prept Products

prept pro (500ml solution) is the in-clinic workhorse. Practitioners use it before, during and after treatments to prepare and soothe skin.

prept go (100ml mist) is billed as "the 20-second skin reset" for skin under pressure. It is designed as a take-home partner after an appointment, and works just as well at the gym, while travelling, or whenever your complexion needs a quick refresh. Clinics can offer it as a simple retail add-on, so their care carries on into the client's daily routine.

How to Use prept go

The brand's ritual is refreshingly simple: Mist. Pause. Go.

  • Hold the bottle at a comfortable distance and mist evenly over the face.
  • Pause and let it settle on the skin.
  • Carry on with the rest of your routine, or simply get on with your day.

Sustainability and Giving Back

Every prept bottle is made from 100% Prevented Ocean Plastic, collected in coastal communities such as Bali, and it is fully recyclable afterwards. In addition, 2% of every sale funds the prept Foundation, which supports access to safe hygiene. Its work includes product and financial contributions, a "Sponsor a Kit" scheme for clinics, gyms and retailers, and outreach to healthcare professionals that delivers education, supplies and sustainable hygiene habits.

Where to Buy

  • US: Not yet confirmed
  • UK: Aspire Professional (professional accounts, for clinics and practitioners). prept go for consumers is coming soon via the prept website.
  • International: Not yet confirmed

If you're a skincare fan rather than a practitioner, ask your clinic whether it stocks prept go, or watch for the consumer launch on prept's own site.

FFS Luxury Shaving & Bodycare Advent Calendar 2026: Release Date, Products & Price

FFS Luxury Shaving & Bodycare Advent Calendar 2026: Release Date, Products & Price

FFS advent calendar contents: rose gold razor, body scrub, whipped butter, body oil, creams and water bottle on pink backdrop

If your idea of a festive countdown involves silky legs and a beautifully stocked shower shelf, the FFS Luxury Shaving & Bodycare Advent Calendar 2026 deserves a spot on your wishlist. The UK shaving and bodycare brand has packed over 20 items into a festive house-shaped box, covering everything from prep and exfoliation to a close shave and nourishing aftercare. FFS promises "no novelty fillers," and the contents back that up.

Release Date and Price

FFS added the calendar to its website in mid-September 2026, and it is available now for £75. The brand says the contents are worth over £150, though it hasn't published an itemised breakdown. Behind the 13th door is a limited-edition treat made exclusively for the calendar and not sold separately. FFS is keeping that one a surprise.

Products Inside the Calendar

The line-up covers your whole routine, from bodycare to the tools that keep your razor in good shape.

Shaving essentials

  • Razor Kit in Rose
  • 4 Premium SmoothGlide Blades
  • Moisturise & Glide Shave Cream (travel size, 50ml)
  • Shower & Shave Whipped Butter in Mango Twist (200ml)
  • Clamshell Blade Protector in Peach
  • Razor Shower Holder in Coral Reef
  • Premium Razor Stand in Rose Gold

Bodycare

  • Tranquil Escape Dead Sea Body Scrub
  • Tranquil Escape Dead Sea Body Butter (30g)
  • Revitalise & Renew Body Scrub (travel size, 50ml)
  • Hydrate & Exfoliate Body Soap with Coconut Husk (60g)
  • Smooth & Shine Body Oil (150ml)
  • Repair & Soothe Body Cream (travel size, 50ml)

Extras

  • Dry Soap Holder Pads (2 pack)
  • Sustainable Stainless Steel Water Bottle in Beige

The FFS razor and blades have earned a Which? Best Buy award, which makes the full razor kit one of the strongest items in the box.

How to Build Your Shave Routine

The calendar is built around a simple sequence, so here's how to use it:

  1. Exfoliate first. Use one of the body scrubs or the coconut husk soap a day or two before shaving. This lifts dead skin and helps prevent ingrown hairs.
  2. Soften and protect. Apply the shave cream or whipped butter to give the blade a smooth glide and reduce tugging.
  3. Shave gently. Glide the razor with light pressure. Rinse it often and store it on the stand or holder so it stays dry between uses.
  4. Lock in moisture. Finish with the body oil, cream or butter while skin is still slightly damp.

The travel sizes are handy for weekends away, and the full-size products will see you well past the festive season.

Who Is It For?

FFS says every product suits all skin types, including sensitive skin. If you react to specific ingredients, check each label as you open it. The contents are fixed, so you can't swap anything out. It makes an easy gift for anyone who loves a pampering shower routine, or a treat for yourself.

eos Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice Mini Super Balm 2026: Release Date, Products & Price

Eos Espresso Martini, Tres Leches and Eggnog mini balms in faux snow beside a frothy espresso martini, red ribbon and pine

Holiday flavors have arrived in lip care. eos has launched its limited-edition Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice Mini Super Balm trio for holiday 2026. On eos.com it's also listed as the Sugar & Spice Mini Super Balm 3-Pack, and it packs three dessert-inspired flavors into mini balms. It's nostalgic and cozy, and it's well suited to the stocking-stuffer pile.

Release Date and Price

The set appeared on eos.com on 2 October 2026 and is available now for $10.99 for the 3-pack. Because it's a limited-edition seasonal release, it may not stay in stock for long.

The Products: Three Holiday Flavors

Each mini balm is based on a classic seasonal treat:

  • Tres Leches tastes of sweet milk and whipped vanilla, like warm vanilla milk on the stove.
  • Eggnog tastes of vanilla custard with a sprinkle of spice.
  • Espresso Martini tastes of coffee crème with a cocoa twist, for anyone who prefers their holiday flavors a bit more grown-up.

The sweet, spicy and coffee options give you some variety, so the set works well for sharing or for gifting to someone whose taste you don't know.

What Makes Super Balm Different?

eos describes Super Balm as the more indulgent cousin of its everyday Lip Balm. It's a rich, buttery hydrating lip treatment made with:

  • Shea butter and cocoa seed butter, which cushion and soften
  • Avocado oil and castor seed oil, which nourish and add a soft sheen
  • Sunflower seed wax and jojoba esters, which help lock in moisture

The formula delivers up to 24 hours of moisture but still feels lightweight and non-sticky. It's paraben-free and cruelty-free. eos hasn't confirmed this holiday set as vegan, so check the final ingredient list if that matters to you.

How to Get the Most From Your Super Balm

  • Prep before lipstick: Apply a thin layer a few minutes before your lip color so it can sink in. Blot any excess for better wear.
  • Use it overnight: On cold, dry winter nights, apply a generous layer before bed.
  • Exfoliate gently: For flaky lips, use a soft lip scrub first, then follow with Super Balm to seal in moisture.
  • Keep one everywhere: The mini size fits easily in a coat pocket, a clutch or your desk drawer.

Is It a Good Holiday Gift?

Yes. Three minis and three festive flavors in one affordable set make it an easy pick for stockings, office gift exchanges and Secret Santa. It's also a nice extra for the lip care lover on your list. Since it's limited edition, buy early if you plan to give a few.

Where to Buy

  • US: eos.com ($10.99)
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • International: Not yet confirmed

The eos Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice Mini Super Balm combines dessert-like flavors with a butter-rich formula, making it one of the easiest lip care gifts of the season. Shop it while it lasts.

Josie Maran Butter Atelier Holiday 2026: Release Date, Products & Price

Red Josie Maran train case with gold padlock beside a Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter jar and an "8 Full Size Butters" badge

If you've ever stood in front of the Josie Maran counter unable to pick just one Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter, the brand has solved that problem. The Butter Atelier is Josie Maran's Holiday 2026 exclusive. It brings every scent of the cult body butter together in a vegan leather train case with a gold lock and key. It's the ultimate gift for the body-care obsessive in your life, or a very indulgent treat for yourself.

Release Date and Price

The Butter Atelier's release date was 2 October 2026, when it went live on josiemaran.com. The set is priced at $250. Buying all eight full-size jars one by one at $36 each would cost $288, so the set saves you money and the case comes included. It is limited to one per customer and sold as final sale, so it can't be returned or exchanged.

The Products: Eight Full-Size Scents

Each of the eight 6 fl oz jars contains the brand's air-whipped formula, which Josie Maran says delivers 48 hours of hydration. The products in the set are:

  • …In Bed (newest scent): whipped vanilla milk, cashmere musk, tonka bean
  • Topless Tangerine: pixie tangerine, pink grapefruit, brown sugar
  • Golden Hour: amber, white musk, santal
  • Vanilla Vibezzz: soft vanilla, bergamot, cedarwood
  • Vanilla Bean: vanilla bean absolute
  • Vanilla Apricot: ripe apricot and vanilla
  • Bohemian Fig: notes not listed in the set's description
  • Always Nude: unscented, ideal for sensitive noses

Why Skin Loves It

The formula is built around three nourishing ingredients:

  • Argan oil is one of nature's richest sources of essential fatty acids and helps support firmness and elasticity.
  • Avocado oil is rich in antioxidants and known to improve elasticity.
  • Shea butter moisturises and soothes, helping skin stay supple.

In a two-week consumer perception survey of 39 people, 97% agreed their thighs, stomach and arms felt firmer and toned. The formulas are free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, sulfates, talc and PFAS. The glass jars can be topped up with BPA-free refill pouches, so the set keeps working long after the holidays.

How to Get the Best Glow

Massage the Butter generously anywhere on your body, and give extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees and shins. For the longest-lasting glow, Josie recommends applying it right after bathing, while skin is warm and receptive.

You can also layer by mood. Try Topless Tangerine for a bright morning or Golden Hour for evening warmth. Save …In Bed for a cosy night in.

The Train Case

The Atelier Train Case is a roomy vegan leather beauty trunk finished with a gold lock and key, and it arrives in a collectable cotton dust bag. Once the jars are empty, it works beautifully as a vanity organiser. The brand jokes that you should pack it with Butters for everyone so nobody borrows yours.

Where to Buy

  • US: Josie Maran ($250)
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • International: Not yet confirmed

The Butter Atelier is billed as a holiday exclusive, and no other retailers list it yet. If it's on your wishlist, buy it early, because the one-per-customer limit suggests stock won't last.

The Best of Dermstore: 24 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 is a limited-edition set of 24 skincare, hair and makeup items. It costs $250 in the US. Dermstore says buying the 24 items separately would cost $1,147. Dermstore currently lists it as exclusive to its site and has not given an official launch date.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at Dermstore US. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Dermstore Best of Dermstore Advent Calendar 2026 Launch?

Dermstore hasn't announced an official release date for the 2026 edition. When checked on 7 October 2026, the Dermstore US listing showed it in stock and "usually dispatched within 24 hours".

Price and Value

The calendar costs $250 at Dermstore US. Dermstore also offers four payments of $62.50 and 1,250 Dermstore Rewards points on the purchase. According to Dermstore, buying all 24 items one by one would cost $1,147. UK and European prices have not been announced.

Among this season's 24-drawer calendars, the Beekman 1802 Kindness Cafe Holiday Advent Calendar 2026 costs $199 for face and body care. The smaller Ulta Beauty 12 Days To Glass Skin Advent Calendar costs $69 for 12 K-beauty products.

What's Inside the Best of Dermstore Advent Calendar 2026

The calendar holds 24 items from 24 brands. By size, 12 are full size, 2 are travel size, 9 are deluxe samples and 1 is a brush. By type, 15 are skincare, plus 1 SPF, 1 lip care, 2 hair care, 3 makeup, 1 makeup tool and 1 body care. Dermstore lists sizes in mixed units (oz, ml and g), so there is no single total. Most of the items are skincare; more launches like these are on our BeautyTalkClub skincare release news page.

Checked 7 October 2026: in stock at Dermstore US, usually dispatched within 24 hours.

What Makes the Best of Dermstore Advent Calendar 2026 Different?

  • It is a retailer-curated calendar with one item from each of 24 brands, spanning skincare, hair, makeup and body care.
  • Half of the items (12 of 24) are listed as full size, including iS Clinical GeneXC Serum, Bioeffect EGF Serum and Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3.
  • Dermstore puts the separate-purchase value at $1,147, against a $250 price.

Packaging and Formula Details

The calendar comes in a deep red box with 24 numbered drawers and "DERMSTORE 24 Days of Beauty" printed on the front. Several items are built around actives named in their titles:

  • Retinal (Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3) and retinol with ferulic acid (Dr. Dennis Gross)
  • 20% niacinamide (Paula's Choice) and an enzyme exfoliating powder (Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant)
  • Two resurfacing serums (Revision Skincare and U Beauty)

According to Dermstore, Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 suits all skin types. Dermstore also says the Osmosis mask "deeply hydrates, repairs, calms and soothes the skin barrier". Dermstore's other current skincare launch, the Dermstore BeautyFIX Skin Reset Season October 2026 box, also pairs retinal treatments with barrier-focused products.

How to Use

Per Dermstore's directions, Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 goes on after evening cleansing, followed by a moisturizer. It is phased in: twice a week for the first two weeks, every other evening for the next two weeks, then nightly. Revision Skincare's Radiance+ Resurfacing Serum is applied as 6–8 drops to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area and not on the same evening as a retinoid; U Beauty advises against pairing its Resurfacing Compound with other resurfacing products. Oribe Mirror Rinse is applied weekly from mid-lengths to ends after shampooing, in place of conditioner (or after conditioner for dry hair), and left on for up to one minute; the Osmosis mask is worn for 5–15 minutes on clean skin.

Eminence Superfood Icons Limited Edition Set Holiday 2026: Products & Prices

Eminence Superfood Icons Limited Edition Set box on a grey knit blanket with kraft-wrapped gifts and fairy lights

Eminence Organic Skin Care's Superfood Icons Limited Edition Set is a holiday 2026 set of two full-size products: an enzyme cleansing powder and a pineapple toner. It costs $68.00 in the US and CA$82.00 in Canada, and it is on sale on eminenceorganics.com. The set pairs the Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder with the Pineapple Refining Tonique.

When Did the Eminence Superfood Icons Limited Edition Set Launch?

Eminence hasn't announced an official release date. The set is a holiday 2026 limited edition. As of 7 October 2026 it was listed on the brand's US and Canadian websites under item number 919SFI.

Price

  • US: $68.00
  • Canada: CA$82.00
  • UK and Europe: Not yet announced

The set costs $68.00 in the US. Buying the two products one by one would cost $124: $68.00 for the cleansing powder plus $56.00 for the tonique. That makes the set $56 less, which is the tonique's single price.

What's Inside

  • 2 full-size products, which the box describes as "two full-size products for the price of one"
  • 1 cleansing powder: Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder, 80 g / 2.8 oz
  • 1 toner: Pineapple Refining Tonique, 120 ml / 4 fl oz

Products

Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder

This 2-in-1 powder-to-foam wash uses the enzymes actinidin (from kiwi) and papain (from papaya). According to Eminence, these gently resurface the skin. The brand says vitamin C-rich Barbados cherry and Kakadu plum help brighten the look of dark spots and uneven tone. It adds that a finely milled absorbent ingredient targets dirt and excess oil to minimise the look of pores. The powder won Best Cleansing Powder at the 2025 NewBeauty Awards.

Pineapple Refining Tonique

This mild exfoliating toner combines PHA, bromelain and tranexamic acid. Eminence says the formula visibly renews dull, textured skin, brightens and hydrates. The brand also says it brings skin to its optimal pH so serums and moisturisers absorb better. The tonique won Gold in the Vegan and Eco Awards Dry Skin category at the 2024 Organic Beauty Awards.

Formula and Packaging

Both formulas are vegan, nut free and gluten free. According to Eminence, they suit all skin types and can be used as a complete ritual or individually. The set comes in a deep navy box printed with orange pineapple and red cherry illustrations.

How to Use

Eminence's directions for the powder: mix 1–2 shakes with water at a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part powder, then massage the lather over the face and neck and rinse. Use it 2–3 times per week, or as often as desired, and not on broken or abraded skin. After cleansing, apply an even layer of the tonique with the palms or a cotton round and leave it on. Start every other day and increase to daily use if no irritation occurs.
