June 2026 beauty launches: a curated collection of six new releases
June 2026 brings a range of new beauty launches, from a hand serum to olfactory portraits from Guerlain and Henry Jacques. Here’s a look at the latest releases—you might just find a new favourite.
Guerlain Muguet
Every May, Guerlain taps an artist or collective to reimagine its iconic Bee Bottle. For 2026, the collaborator is Maison Vermont, a heritage Parisian embroidery house. The result is a chic green bottle dressed with a silk taffeta bow, its surface adorned with hand-embroidered lace renderings of lily of the valley— bell-shaped blooms whose pearly hearts catch the light with iridescent effect. Within, the composition remains faithfully floral: lily of the valley at the fore, with jasmine and rose in quiet support.
Hourglass Unreal Liquid Highlighter
A make-up and skincare hybrid, Hourglass’s newest complexion innovation features an advanced liquid-light system that mimics how skin naturally reflects light while delivering hydration and a firming effect. Completely vegan and cruelty-free, it takes cues from the no-make-up make-up look, creating a smooth, second-skin finish.
Aesop Solais Replenishing Hand Serum
Skincare, Aesop reminds us, shouldn’t stop at the face. The Solais Replenishing Hand Serum brings the same rigour the brand applies to facial care: niacinamide, dandelion root, and lipohydroxy acid work to brighten, hydrate, and even skin tone, while the fast-absorbing formula ensures no residue. True to the brand’s sensorial philosophy, a composition of lavender stem, bergamot rind, and neroli blossom lends every application a light, floral- citrus-herbaceous character that is as deliberate as it is pleasurable.
Le Rouge Celine Collection – Matte Lip Balm
For those who find Le Rouge Celine’s lipsticks too declarative, these lip balms offer an understated alternative. The new collection arrives in eight shades—one clear, seven buildable—spanning from Ariane, a delicate coral veil, to Raphaëlle, a luminous red with warm orange undertones, all in a soft matt finish. Each piece is housed in a faceted silver tube embossed with the Triomphe, Celine’s signature emblem, and designed for refill.
Henry Jacques Collection de l’Atelier
The closing instalment of Henry Jacques’ Collection de l’Atelier brings its Rose de Mai triptych to a considered end. Released in March, this final edition distils a singular harvest from the brand’s private estate in the South of France into three distinct expressions, each shaped by rare nuances of chestnut honey and soft leather: the spiced Rose Azafira, the pure and honeyed Rose Très Rose 2025, and the neroli-bright Rose Alambrah. Limited to 500 handcrafted chests worldwide, the trilogy is unrepeatable by design—a record of one harvest, one moment, never to be reissued.
Lancaster Sun Perfect and Sun Beauty
Six new SPF formulations catering to a wide range of skin concerns join Lancaster’s repertoire of sun protection essentials. Within the Sun Perfect series, four formulations are aptly named to highlight their benefits: Glow Booster, 24H Hydration, Pore & Imperfection, and Sensitive Mineral. Similarly, the new offerings in the Sun Beauty range feature names that reflect their functionality, with the Face & Body Pocket Cream delivering sun protection in a convenient format, and the Face Stick lending mess- and fuss-free, lightweight sun protection.
