McBride Beauty
Winifred Burkeman started to sell her handmade beauty products after all her friends kept asking what she used on her flawless skin. Named after her mother, her two year-old line of products, McBride Beauty, uses the same natural blend of ingredients that her mother had made years before to keep her sensitive skin healthy. Winifred makes the essential oil-based face and body natural beauty products at her home in Brooklyn using entirely natural ingredients—no chemicals or artificial colors—and they are not tested on animals. Now everyone has a chance to have beautiful and healthy skin like the McBride ladies.
For Cool Hunting readers, Wini is offering a great deal. You can get a set of all five of the products: Avocado Oil & Wheat Germ Night Créme, Rose Water & Vitamin C Face Créme, Grapefruit & Sandalwood Astringent, Cucumber Body Lotion and Milk & Honey Soap for $90 instead of the usual $120, if you mention Cool Hunting to her when you order by emailing wini [at] mcbridebeauty [dot] com. Otherwise, you can find McBride Beauty products at Steven Alan, Bird, Bark and other stores around New York City, at The Darling Room in Kansas City and online from New London Pharmacy.
