Biography

Feel the heat lingering on your skin after a day in the sun? Smooth on Sea Chrome—it’s packed with emollient-rich replenishing oils like marula and baobab that help repair recently damaged skin while calming redness. Cucumber seed oil also strengthens your lipid barrier so skin can regain its natural balance and return to its normal happy self...just a little tanner. ⁠
⁠

An afternoon basking in vitamin D and then a refreshing cool shower—pure bliss. The next best thing is using a skin repair face oil like Petty Grudges. Ahh, I can’t wait to treat my skin!⁠
⁠

Crafted in spirit of the longest day of the year, Long June face oil captures the serene feelings of calmness and tranquility. With Long June, time seems to stand still. Ahhhh...

Like ancient amber, like liquid gold, like sacred tourmaline, Petty Grudges is like a gem that radiates its glow from every surface—whether that’s your countertop, makeup bag, and of course, your skin. When the light hits just right, stand back and let it be the star. ⁠

Oops, someone went a little too heavy on the body oil. On the other hand, nothing’s better as a pre- or post-sun skin soother than Sea Chrome, packed with fatty acids and antioxidants to help prevent damage and restore balance while you’re out in the glorious elements. Just go a little easier than these gals...⁠

Our roses are bursting into bloom, so I captured this moment for you. Here’s Petty Grudges in her element, with roses both outside and inside. X- Adrianne

People with sensitive skin need “serenity now” no matter where they are, which is why we recommend always taking along a Long June mini—it provides instant relief that calms and soothes skin with naturally powerful anti-inflammatory herbs and oils and never leaves you greasy. Redness clears; serenity reigns.

We’re gearing up for our second journaling event, featuring (guided by) the amazing Laura Rubin of AllSwell. Our first event in November, held in Tribeca, brought together 40 incredibly diverse women, all fascinating and engaging. This time, we’ll be in Los Angeles at a space called Lacuna—no more vintage manual freight elevator to manage!⁠
⁠
We’re thrilled to host this event again with a new group. It feels Biography because it’s soul-searching, whimsical, and extra-ordinary. If you’ll be in LA on June 18 and want to join us, send a DM!

Our friend Allison Light first called it Long June, based on the month of clarity and calm she wished would last all year—and the fact that she and her sister both called each other June as a nickname. That airy lightness, that playful harmony, all fits our most calming oil to a T (or maybe, a J). Perfect for those whose skin can be reactive, fussy, or sensitive, especially in changing seasons, this dry-touch oil absorbs instantly with zero residue, and goes to work soothing skin with herbs like camellia and chamomile. If you sometimes find active-packed skincare too much, Long June is juuuust right. We always say it’s like noise-canceling for your skin, so you can enjoy the long early summer ahead. Vogue loves it too!

After sun and before ‘tan’, there is the old familiar burn. Sea Chrome is here to help when a few extra rays get through your SPF shield—not only are the actives and oils in our body oil deeply moisturizing, toning and tightening on a daily basis, but it’s also packed with burn-soothing oils like marula, baobab, and cucumber seed oils that specifically soothe red, irritated, flaky skin. Marula helps repair with emollient fatty acids and antioxidants (working to repair the immediate damage), baobab has antibacterial properties that can help reduce swelling and sensitivity, and cucumber oil is rich in phytosterols to strengthen your lipid barrier and restore a healthy moisture balance to your poor parched skin. Slather it on after sun and remember: more sunscreen next time!

Sea Chrome is making us proud yet again. Our revitalizing body oil was just named a 2024 Elite Beauty Award winner for BEST BODY OIL. Of course it’s beloved as an all-over skin booster after your daily shower, but we also love using it in summer as a before -and after- sun oil to add protective moisture and damage-preventing antioxidants while it tightens and tones. Out of the bathroom, into the beach bag!

Summer is a time to restore the soul, restock on memories, and do a little repair work on your skin. ⁠
⁠
This little guy’s just the oil for the job, with rosehip, geranium, and primrose oils to promote cell renewal with a rush of antioxidants and vitamin A. We recommend Petty Grudges always on summer nights, and sometimes on summer days to help reverse signs of sun damage and plump up lines and dull spots too. ⁠
⁠

Spring is different in the library, where the buzz and life of the natural world outside spills into the quiet hush of the study. It’s that contrast that makes First Edition such a warm-weather staple, with its bright florals and dry woods that combine a cathedral-like calm with blooming vibrancy too. Keep a Hand & Body Wash by the sink to return to that feeling all day long. ⁠
⁠
You can now find our First Edition in all guest bathrooms at The Malin, yay! A perfect fit for Biography.
