Can you believe that Kiehl’s have been around for a whopping 170 years? Us either. And to celebrate the momentous occasion, they are launching not one, but two new skincare ranges.
Yes to celebrate 170 years, Kiehl’s are launching the Limited-Edition Commemorative Collection and the Limited-Edition Heritage Collection on the 28th April - and we want it all.
Kiehl’s Since 1851 originated as an old-world pharmacy in New York City’s East Village. Kiehl’s founding family set out on a mission to provide personalised service and skincare to all, utilising the most advanced technologies and uniquely efficacious ingredients to help improve skin’s health.
Over the years, Kiehl’s has stayed true to this mission, and always prioritised the customer experience.
On this momentous 170th anniversary, the celebration begins with a Limited-Edition Commemorative Collection; a specially curated array of the brand’s most beloved and best-selling formulas: Ultra Facial Cream (£28) and Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner (£38).
This iconic collection of Kiehl’s classics comes in stunning new white and gold-adorned glass packaging – maintaining Kiehl’s commitment to a more sustainable future by using eco-conscious materials.
Now for the first time, Kiehl’s is also diving deep into its archive of formulation favourites to bring back three historical products from decades past.
Carefully selected to pay homage to beauty trends that revolutionised previous eras, the Limited-Edition Heritage Collection is reimagined for the modern-day skincare connoisseur.
First up in this collection are the Essence Oils in Love-Luring, Fortune Seeking and Jinx-Removing - priced at £32 each (for 10ml). Originally formulated in the 1920s, Kiehl’s new essence oils have been re-imagined in three enticing aromas.
The oils available are; Love-Luring Essence Oil - To enhance attraction, this sophisticated floral blend is a modern day “Love Potion”. A full floral aroma infused with Jasmine, Rose & Ylang-Ylang.
Fortune-Seeking Essence Oil – For those looking for a bit of luck A light, fresh scent infused with notes of Citrus and White Tea.
Jinx-Removing Essence Oil –Inspired by similar monikers from the 1920’s (such as Money-Drawing Oil and Success Powder), this unique aroma is made for those seeking new beginnings and personal freedoms. A warm, sensual fragrance infused with Vetiver and Sandalwood.
Also part of the Limited-Edition Heritage Collection is the Heritage French Rosewater Toner, £40 (240ml).
The 1960s marked a new age of the multi- step skincare routine. Customers sought products that were decadent and luxurious as way to pamper themselves at home and indulge in a little self-care.
Inspired by a Kiehl’s collection of Rosewater Toners from the 1960s, the newly refreshed skin- softening formula is infused with imported Rosewater and sustainably-sourced whole Turkish Rose Petals—handpicked from the “rose garden of the world.” With a delicate, fresh aroma, this gentle toner hydrates and balances for smooth, petal-soft skin. How divine.
Heritage Glycerin Soaps, £15 (5oz) will also be included. Available in “Fresh Herbal” scented (ideal for use on body and hands) and unscented (which is also suitable for use on the face), the formula is gentle enough for everyday use for an all-over nourishing clean. Each soap comes individually wrapped in recyclable graphic paper adorned with signature Kiehl’s illustrations.
