About the October Beauty Box,

In the October Beauty Box, themed, 'When Time Stood Still, we showcase the cult-favorite Australian brand Lepaar, with three exquisite products that complement each other to smooth, firm, protect from free radical damage, & brighten the skin.

Lepaar was founded by Johanna & Christo Everingham. Johanna was introduced to organic cosmetic crafting from her alchemist mother, and has been making her own compositions for over 20 years. Johanna & Christo combine their shared passion for exceptional quality & the revival of nurturing practices & lost widsom, to create ‘living objects’ be they skincare, clothing or even garden hoses. Their skincare line exemplifies the magic of slow whole-plant beauty.

The October Beauty Box Includes ($187.00 retail value):

Lepaar Summer Wine Even Tone Antioxidant Shield ($62.00)

Lepaar Smooth Operator Unfolding Balsam ($62.50)

Lepaar Elastic Love Firming Face & Neck Oil ($62.50)

Lepaar Elastic Love Firming Face & Neck Oil ($62.50): This lovely face and neck oil is lightweight and fast absorbing and it tones, tightens and hydrates the skin leaving it soft, smooth and luminous. It has the delectable scent of berries, and it includes nourishing ingredients such as quince fruit extract, kangaroo flower extract, artichoke, bamboo & horsetail extracts that tone, tighten & strengthen skin. Tip: This oil-based serum layers with both Summer Wine and Smooth Operator, but it can be used alone.

According to Lepaar,

Juicy tension and lingering affirmation come knocking with this sparkly oil that rapidly tightens, powers up tensile strength, and bestows buoyant resilience – especially on neck and around jowls.

This composition is reminder to myself of the tender strength and infinite elasticity of love between people near and far. A reminder, too, of love’s resilience and beauty in the face of separation, loss and time. And it is also an invitation to travel with me through time and space: from our garden in Kangaroo Valley where the Kangaroo Paw Flower, Artichoke, Red Clover and Quince grows, to the European Summer gardens of my childhood picking Black currants and Blackberries, and on to places I long to go. Time is elastic.

Optional: seal in with a cream (I typically use cream over an oil  serum as the oil serums I showcase tend to be light and not really occlusive, but you can try oil over cream as well, if you prefer).

Lepaar Summer Wine Even Tone Antioxidant Shield ($62): This is an antioxidant rich oil-based serum, which is made from leftover grapes from the wine-making process, and therefore it is very rich in resveratrol. It is lightweight and it melts into the skin leaving it soft, smooth, supple, luminous and lusciously hydrated. It has a light fruity aroma that is a treat to the senses.

According to Lepaar,

Hours spend gardening under the sun, late nights sipping natural wine under the stars – this antioxidant cocktail infuses my skin with everything it needs to protect and recover. Sits sweetly under sunscreen, and is the perfect after sun rescue.

In 2020, Christo made natural wine with Brendon Carto, from Carto Wines, macerated moonshine bottles of Gentian bitters, and crafted wild beer with our friend Tim using our Kangaroo Valley spring water. Me, I sun-infused all their leftover plant matter into biodynamic Olive oil, until the extracts sang of warm, boozy Summer days spend with friends who’ve all had to change their lives last year.

Additionally, it stimulates collagen production and leaves skin supple and luminous.

According to Lepaar,

Time slows right down with this sultry balsam that softens everything: folds, lines, edges, cracks, tension, temper...

Our Ode to coffee and it’s incredible contributions to smooth, unfolded skin. And an homage to our friend Paul Geshos of Mecca Coffee and his beautiful work with small ethical coffee farmers and sustainable collectives around the world. Both the ‘silver skin’ coffee husk and dried ‘Cascara’ coffee cherry are by-products of Paul's artisanal coffee creation, and we’re thrilled to phoenix them as SMOOTH OPERATOR.

Paired with green + roasted coffee seed oil they deliver the whole spectrum of this magical fruit most of us consume daily – a simply habitual moment for some, a deeply ritualistic moment for others. For Christo and I, having coffee together every morning is a moment when time stands still, surfaces become smooth, edges soften, and infinite possibilities unfold.
