5 Top Beauty Product Launches in August 2025

Burt’s Bees Boosted Body Daily Lotion

Burt’s Bees is expanding its skincare know-how into body care, and honestly, it’s about time. The new Boosted Body Daily Lotion is packed with barrier-boosting ingredients like ceramides, peptides, and niacinamide (yes, the same stuff you’re already slathering on your face). It’s lightweight, super absorbent, and leaves skin feeling nourished without that heavy lotion feel. Bonus: it smells like a beach vacation in a bottle, and it runs for only around $13! Now that’s the kind of beauty product launch that gets my attention! 

Virtue Overnight Scalp & Hair Elixir

Overnight serums for your face? Been there. Now, Virtue is giving your scalp and strands the same love. This elixir is a game changer if your hair’s been looking a little… tired. Infused with the brand’s signature keratin along with peptides, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, it helps restore hydration and strength while you sleep, so you can wake up to softer, stronger, glossier hair without lifting a finger.

LolaVie Powder Perfect Dry Shampoo by Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston knows a thing or two about good hair. Her newest LolaVie launch is a powder-based dry shampoo that gives the usual aerosol formulas a serious upgrade. It’s talc-free, non-aerosol (eco-friendly!), and designed to volumize and refresh without leaving a chalky cast. Think of it as part styling product, part dry shampoo, great for post-gym, day three hair, or a quick zhuzh between meetings.

Rare Beauty Eau de Parfum by Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is finally dropping Rare Beauty’s first-ever fragrance, and it’s giving signature scent vibes from the jump. Rare Eau de Parfum is a warm, soft, spicy gourmand with notes of sparkling pink pepper, comforting pistachio, caramel, and a smooth vanilla-sandalwood finish. Even better: the bottle is designed to be ergonomic and accessible, which tracks perfectly with Rare’s thoughtful, inclusive approach to beauty.

Gemz Shampoo & Conditioner Tablets

Traditional shampoo bottles? They’re on notice. Gemz is shaking things up with water-activated shampoo and conditioner tablets. These colorful little “gems” come in pre-measured pods, making them perfect for travel, gym bags, or just cutting down on plastic waste. You crush the tablet in your palm with water to activate it, yes, it’s a bit of a novelty, but it’s also super effective. Haircare, meet the future.

Final Thoughts

From nourishing overnight treatments to innovative packaging and inclusive fragrance design, August’s beauty launches are more than just pretty; they’re thoughtful, high-performing, and perfect for refreshing your routine. Whether you’re team dry shampoo or fragrance-obsessed, there’s something in this month’s drop that’s going to upgrade your lineup. Which one are you trying first?
