Inside the August Summer Afterglow Box

There’s something so beautiful about the last days of summer—the warm glow, effortless beauty and routines that feel a little lighter.

That feeling inspired our August Summer Afterglow Box, a thoughtfully curated collection of clean beauty essentials to help you hold on to your summer glow while gently transitioning into fall.

Inside are five products for your skin, hair and everyday routine, with a combined retail value of $104.50. Subscribers were also able to personalize their box by selecting their Botanical Colour Stick shade: Natural Bloom or Italian Rose.

Let’s take a closer look at everything inside!

Soapply Liquid Hand Wash

Value: $25 | Full size, 8 fl oz

This beautiful, natural hand wash is made using a 300-year-old soapmaking method and food-grade organic oils. It gently cleanses without leaving your hands feeling dry or stripped.

Soapply is MADE SAFE® certified, vegan and cruelty-free. It’s also free from synthetic fragrances and color additives and comes in a refillable recycled-glass bottle.

Why you’ll love it: It turns an everyday necessity into a more beautiful and skin-friendly experience—especially as we head into fall and the season of more frequent handwashing.

How to use: Lather onto wet hands, rinse thoroughly and refill the bottle when it’s empty.

My tip: Place it at the sink your family uses most. The frosted-glass bottle looks beautiful while helping reduce single-use packaging.

About Soapply

Founder Mera McGrew created Soapply after seeing the effects of limited access to handwashing while living and working in Africa. Every ounce of soap sold is connected to a donation supporting water, sanitation and hygiene initiatives.

It really is more than soap.

Lauren Brooke Botanical Colour Stick

Value: $21.50 | Natural Bloom or Italian Rose

This creamy 3-in-1 color stick can be used on your cheeks, lips and eyes for an easy, coordinated look.

Subscribers were able to select between two beautiful shades:

• Natural Bloom: A soft, fresh everyday pink

• Italian Rose: A deeper, richer rosy shade

Why you’ll love it: One product gives you a beautiful, natural-looking flush without making your routine complicated. The creamy color blends easily and can be built up depending on how much color you want.

How to use: Swipe or tap it onto your cheeks and blend upward. Add a little to your lips or eyelids for an effortless monochromatic look.

My tip: Start with a small amount and build in light layers. Tap any remaining color across your nose for a softly sun-kissed finish.

Lauren Brooke Organic Facial Serum

Value: $32.50

This vitamin-rich serum is made with cold-pressed organic botanical oils, including jojoba, evening primrose, pumpkin, rosehip, sea buckthorn and pomegranate.

It helps nourish, soften and replenish skin that feels dry, dull or depleted after long summer days.

Why you’ll love it: The serum leaves your skin feeling soft, moisturized and cared for while supporting a naturally healthy-looking glow.

How to use: After cleansing, warm a small amount between your fingertips and gently press it onto your face, neck and décolletage. Use it in the morning, evening or both.

My tip: Apply it while your skin is still slightly damp to help seal in hydration. Store the bottle away from direct sunlight to protect the fresh botanical oils.

About Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques

Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques was founded in 2005 after Lauren’s personal healing journey inspired her to remove potentially harmful ingredients from her life.

Her goal was to create nourishing, high-performing beauty products that help women feel healthy, confident and naturally beautiful. I love that the brand makes clean beauty feel both approachable and luxurious.

Earth Harbor Beach Waves Ocean Hair Texturizer

Value: $11 | 2 fl oz

Beach Waves is a lightweight sea salt texturizing spray made with Atlantic sea salt, mango extract and glycerin.

It adds beach-inspired texture, soft volume and flexible hold without leaving your hair feeling sticky or crunchy. It can also help refresh second-day hair and enhance natural waves.

How to use: Mist it onto damp hair, then twist or scrunch and allow your hair to air-dry or diffuse. You can also use it on dry hair to refresh your style or add extra volume.

My tip: Start with a light mist, especially if your hair is fine. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends, adding it near the roots only when you want more lift.

About Earth Harbor

Earth Harbor was founded by toxicologist and herbalist Ali Perry-Hatch, whose love of coastal living began on St. Simons Island, Georgia.

She began blending marine botanicals and plant-based ingredients in an off-grid treehouse kitchen. Today, the brand continues to combine environmental science, herbalism, sustainability and a deep love of the ocean.

Lauren Brooke True Beauty Organic Fragrance Oil

Value: $14.50 | 3mL roller

True Beauty is a warm, beautiful fragrance oil in a convenient roller bottle. Its size makes it perfect for your purse, makeup bag or desk whenever you want to refresh your scent.

Why you’ll love it: The rollerball makes application simple, controlled and mess-free. The oil wears close to the skin for a softer and more personal fragrance experience.

How to use: Roll it lightly onto your wrists, neck or behind your ears and reapply whenever desired.

My tip: Apply it to moisturized skin to help the scent last longer. Let the oil settle naturally instead of rubbing your wrists together.

Holding On to That Summer Glow

I loved putting the Summer Afterglow collection together for you. Each product has a place in your routine: the serum nourishes your skin, the color stick adds an effortless flush, Beach Waves keeps that relaxed summer texture alive, True Beauty adds a lovely finishing touch and Soapply makes an everyday necessity feel more special.

Together, they make the transition from summer into fall feel a little softer and more beautiful.
