Kiehl’s is going organic with the launch of its Açaí skin care collection, due in mid-September.

While many people assume Kiehl’s products are 100 percent organic, this line is the brand’s first organic skin care line, said Chris Salgardo, president of Kiehl’s USA. “Since our inception, we have always been known for our service and for creating efficacious products,” said Salgardo, noting that everyone asks for “green” products, but still demand high performance. “We heard that our customers wanted organics, that they wanted paraben-free, that they wanted natural — and they wanted to focus on the first signs of aging. We went to the lab to do all that. The result: our new Açaí line.”

TOMORROW, Diesel will be launching their new Men’s fragrance Only The Brave.

Only The Brave captures the essence of the Diesel man in a bottle. The new scent is housed in a smoky, gray bottle in the shape of a clenched fist wearing a silver Diesel ring. The scent represents the qualities of the brave, symbolized by a fist that tells several stories: Facing forward, the fist evokes power and energy; upright, it stands for self-affirmation; raised, it signifies victory, success and engagement.

The courageous scent has top notes of Lemon Blossom, Mandarin and Coriander Leaves; a heart of Labdanum, Black Rose and Lavender; and a dry down of Amber, Tolu Wood and Ebony Wood.

Common is the face of the fragrance and the partnership was featured today in WWD!
