I’m so excited that this month’s box introduces a line I’ve never heard of before that also focuses on Ayurvedic principals. I’m so intrigued by that practice and love learning more about it, especially though beautiful products like these!
Here’s a look at what’s in the See New Skincare Box:
THE BODY OIL | UMM SKINCARE ($64.99)
“This beautiful Body Oil is a deeply nourishing and luxurious all-over replenishing ayurvedic treatment. The high-performing oils of organic almond, jojoba, sesame, safflower & grapeseed help soften and hydrate the skin.

Together the body oil is power-packed with nourishment for the entire body, face, and scalp. Formulated with certified organic ingredients, Vegan & Natural.”
What a beautiful body oil! I have nothing like this in my collection and it’s looks alone with those gold flecks throughout immediately earn it a spot on my display shelf. I’ll certainly be using it a lot too with it’s major dry skin benefits. Even thought the dry season of winter is closing, my dry skin issues likely won’t stop so I’ll be appreciative of this product’s benefits. I’m intrigued by the addition of ashwaganda which is said to warm and nourish not just the skin, but at a deeper body level too. I can’t forget to mention the smell – it’s such a lovely jasmine floral that’s made a bit sharper with the addition of geranium. I’ll be turning to this following showers going forward!
THE HAND & BODY BUTTER | UMM SKINCARE ($49.99)
“Reparative and nourishing body butter loaded with the healing properties of shea butter, coconut oil, aloe vera, and several high-performing botanicals. The hand and body butter is the ultimate hydrating multivitamin formula for extremely dry skin. It repairs and nourishes the skin deeply. Our artisanal fine fragrance profile of the Jasmine, Rose & Sandlewood make it a harmonious blend of uncompromising luxury for your everyday moments.”
This is a lovey, and rich hand and body cream. It’s thick, but applies nicely without a trace of greasiness. I often have dry and itchy skin issues so this cream that’s formulated to remedy that is perfect for me to try out. I like it’s warm and comforting aroma, which is heavily floral with a hint of earthy grounding notes too.

I just love getting handmade soap in subscription boxes so this item is great! It’s a beautiful golden color and smells so amazing. It’s bright, a bit spicy and awakening in it’s aroma. It will be absolutely perfect for a morning shower wake-up. I appreciate it’s skin soothing herbs and nourishing oils that will add to the overall experience. It says you can use it for body, hair and as a shaving bar which make it a great multi-tasking product too.

What a beautiful brand this month! I had never heard of it or any of their products before and thoroughly enjoy being introduced to them through this thoughtful collection of items. I’m so glad that this boxes contents are body focused and really appreciate that they tend to intermix these types of curations in between the skincare collections to refrain from overwhelming either personal care category. Umm’s products are unique and welcome in my routine of self care with their beautiful packing and interesting and intentional ingredients. I’m so excited to give them all a try and take in their benefits.
