If you love luxury skin care products but you’re no fan of the price tag, Ouai might be the brand you’re looking for. This new brand, now available at Sephora, offers high-end formulas for a reasonable price without compromising on quality or results.
Besides skin care products, Ouai has a robust collection of hair, fragrance and candle offerings. The brand, founded by celebrity stylist Jen Atkins, takes a consumer-first approach to deliver the formulas you’re looking for, whether it’s deeply nourishing hand cream or a restorative hair conditioner.
Ouai strives to manufacture eco-conscious products by minimizing their carbon footprint. The full-size bottles are refillable with Ouai’s 32-ounce refill pouches, which are made with 60% less plastic. Ouai also offers a refillable travel bottle kit that includes three squeeze bottles, two tubs and a TSA-approved transparent travel case.
Ouai travel varieties cost $12-$24, whereas most full-size products fall in the $28-$48 range. The most expensive Ouai products are the fragrances and refillable pouches, which run as high as $56.
The Scalp & Body Scrub is a powerful all-in-one formula that gently exfoliates without stripping away skin’s natural moisture. Besides skin care benefits, the scrub delivers an aromatherapy experience with an intoxicating rose fragrance.
