Crabtree & Evelyn is introducing The Bali Collection as its first exploration collection and consumers will find themselves feeling transported to Bali thanks to the use of traditional ingredients, wellness practices and products made by village craftswomen. The skincare and body products include cleansers, toners, body balms and incense products with scents like Nag Champa, Frangipani and Sandalwood.
At a time when people aren't able to travel, this collection promises to offer a taste of a getaway. The collection also helps to support The WAS Foundation, founded by a Balinese friend of the brand. As Ashley Souza, Chief Brand Officer, describes, there's also a timely message to the collection: "In today’s chaotic world of conservatism vs liberalism, hustle vs happiness, expectations vs reality, I couldn’t think of a message better than that of the Balinese people—balance and duality."
