Grooming -- 4 days ago
Buying gifts for a dad can be a difficult task. They protest they don’t need anything, but then when it comes round to it, they’re gadget crazy and would never scoff at a new polo shirt. But the real thing that gets dads going - and largely because they never invest in it themselves (although times, we hope, are changing) - is skincare.
For many men, skincare takes a backseat. A lot of dads find themselves simply too busy to be heading out, buying and then slapping on moisturiser after serum and the rest. We get it too - dads are busy! But that’s why doing the hardest bit - the shopping - for them. Grown Alchemist, the Aussie brand has got everything a dad could want to look his best.
With Grown Alchemist, plant-powered, biotech-boosted beauty meets minimalist, modern design, creating the perfect balance between the good stuff inside the packaging and a stripped back, fuss-free aesthetic that dads can get on board with. The skincare itself is a curated line-up of products that are created using potent plant ingredients, such as sandalwood and bergamot, with cutting-edge science, and ideal for dads that simply don’t have the time to go searching for the very best thing for their skin. What’s more, they’re all formulated to be gentle, while still work, on all skin type, so you don’t need to ask your dad if he’s got combination or oily skin.

The Energise Body Cleanser helps to gently remove impurities day and night, using 97 per cent natural ingredients, and a Shave Gel that uses bioactive tri-peptides to protect skin cells from free radical damage, while aiding in the smoothest shave possible.
