About Glow Recipe
Signature products
Most people know the brand for its Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops, a brightening, hydrating step. The Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum targets a stressed skin barrier. Around them sit the Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser and the Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream. The Watermelon Glow line also includes a PHA+BHA pore-tight toner. Masks complete the routine. Textures and scents are a big part of the appeal.
How the formulas are made
Glow Recipe leaves out parabens, sulphates, phthalates and synthetic dyes. The brand is cruelty-free and says it aims for sustainable packaging where possible and encourages recycling. Products target dullness, dryness, sensitivity and early signs of ageing, so it is easy to build a routine from one label.
