Guest-Room Beauty Essentials
Building out our goop Guest Room Shop got us thinking: Trying out new beauty products when we stay over at someone’s house is seriously fun, and an incredible way to discover new things that we may never have purchased without testing. It’s next-level medicine-chest snooping and next-level product sampling, all in one.
And since even the biggest clean-beauty skeptics convert once they actually try, say, the face wipes from Ursa Major, or the watermelon-and-vanilla lip balm from Grown Alchemist, stocking the guest bathroom with non-toxic products can actually help spread the good word.
Regardless, the best guest room products come in single-serving packages, or easily-sharable tubes (as opposed to a pot, where multiple people might find themselves dipping into the same product), so we’ve taken that into consideration here, along with a neither-too-feminine-nor-masculine aesthetic, so everybody’s happy:
-
goop Fragrance
Scented Candle: Edition o2 – Shiso goop, $72A scent of cool air, pale sun, new life unfurling on the forest floor, this mystical candle channels the energy of spring: sensual heat against cool, damp air. Shiso
leaf (also known as perilla) is the unexpected star of this scent: It
has a slightly spicy/fresh characteristic that’s green, earthy, and
delicate all at once. Its complex simplicity is similar to Ikebana,
the art of Japanese floral composition: The shiso note is closely
hinged on the other notes, so the scent begins simply and then
slowly opens up into spicy greens, crushed stems, and ancient
exotic woods.
