New Brands
Releasing new brands on Escentual.com is more than an online affair for us! When a new brand launches on-site we host interactive experiences in our offices to get everyone to experience the brand first-hand. We’re always looking for the newest, iconic and best beauty brands for you to enjoy…
Gallinee
Our most recent brand release is the world’s first microbiome-friendly beauty line, Gallinee. Our team fell obsessed with their founder, Dr Marie Drago who trained the team on each of the products on site. To mark the launch of the science-driven brand, Gallinee, we had an interactive Gallinee drop-in station where the Escentual team could get to know the products a little better.

Philip Kingsley
Another brand we also recently released on Escentual was hair care expert Philip Kingsley. Love for premium hair care has been an increasing trend that we’ve seen with our customers and is a category that we are expanding on Escentual. The team got into the spirit of the brand launch by all trying a sample of Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer booster which the brand kindly donated for us to try!
