For Red Flower’s Yael Alkalay, the goal was not so simple: Create a product inspired by

a cloud. “There was so much trial-and-error to get the texture right. It’s complicated to take

something heavy and concentrated and transform it into something light.”

The cream is beautifully complex: intensely nourishing and 100-percent natural, yet multitasking and magically

scented. “Our guests expect products that are therapeutic,

luxurious and mindful. It is all that and more,” says Simon Marxer,

spa director at Miraval.

WHY WE LOVE IT

M I R A C L E C U R EBeauty Heroes founder Jeannie Jarnot considers the cream the

ultimate nourisher. “I use it on my husband’s dry hands and on my son

after baths, and I keep a jar by my desk to reapply during the day.”

L I G H T + L I F EAlkalay’s goal is to deliver a “full experience.” “Skin care can provide a deeper place of reconnection, relaxation and stress reduction, all while delivering results.”

N O R T H E R N S O N GWhile the formula is hand-whipped through a delicate heat process in New York, the bulk of the ingredients—including the star ingredient, vitamin C–rich cloudberries—come from Finland and can only be harvested in July.

When Kiehl’s Jami Morse Heidegger couldn’t find the skin care she needed to

treat her aging skin, she harnessed a lifetime of experience creating holy

grail products and made it herself.

the years of collective experience, research and collaboration on which the brand is founded

75 A minuscule amount of this ultra-nourisher is enough to

deeply hydrate the face, neck and décolleté. It works as

an overnight treatment or a supercharged daily moisturizer; and with a new 15 ml “Voyage”

bottle, it also jet sets as the perfect in-flight mask.

WHY WE LOVE IT

I N N E R C I R C L EAt age nine, Heidegger mixed a

custom scent for Stevie Wonder. Her serum has an A-list following, too: Tracee Ellis Ross swears by it,

Zoë Kravitz says it “feels just like honey” and Rita Ora used it to

prep for the 2019 Met Ball.

T A I L O R M A D ENever intending on distributing the bespoke line, Heidegger spared no expense: ”I wanted intense, heavy-duty products, so I worked with a former Kiehl’s chemist, making sure to use only efficacious anti-aging ingredients in superior concentrations.”

H I G H - G R A D E A C T I V E SThe brand often sources raw ingredients, like avocado oil, straight from the Heidegger Malibu family ranch. Ingredients like vitamins C and E, plant-based squalane, white tea, and apple stem cells help promote collagen production and surface repair.

F O R C E F I E L DTo protect the formula against oxidation, the highly potent extracts are mixed at high speeds using vacuum technology and dispensed into opulent, Italian glass bottles that are completely impenetrable to light and air.
