The turn of the decade has not been reflective of the Roaring Twenties a century ago. In fact, it will be infamous as the year of the ‘new normal’, and the beauty sector has seen its fair share of turning tides.
The sector has seen the self-care category catapult to new heights as strains of the coronavirus pandemic take their toll on consumers.
Exacerbated by job losses, lockdowns and working from home (at the end of September, 60% of the UK’s population was reported to be working from home, according to stats from Finder), taking time to reflect on the state of our mental health has never been more warranted.
Here, Cosmetics Business rounds up four beauty brands helping customers unwind for National Stress Awareness Day.
1. Mindful Extracts
Specifically aimed to help reduce anxiety, Mindful Extracts’ range of CBD oils are available in three strengths to maximise on CBD’s holistic benefits.
The products vary from 500mg CBD, 10% CBD oil with 1,000mg of CBD and the strongest contains 2,000mg CBD.
Each of the CBD products are said to be full-spectrum oils, utilising all of the compounds found in hemp in order to maximise their effects.
The brand also offers insights into combining CBD with mindfulness and holistic practices, including yoga and meditation with guided sessions available via its website, mindfulextracts.co.uk.
2. Forvr Mood

Blended with white flowers, bergamot and jasmine to relax the body, the floriental scent is infused with patchouli and lavender to relax the user.
