New naturals

Obsessed with skincare, Wellington lawyer Sarah Bacon turned her hand at making her own. Veletta, launched last month, is packed with nourishing botanicals and includes a cleanser, two moisturisers and a mask. It took her two years to formulate the oil-based range, researching and testing the different properties of each ingredient. “Making the products vegan and Halal-certified seemed like an obvious move — it provides women with an extra level of certainty that the products they’re putting on their skin really are completely natural, and don’t compromise their beliefs in any way,” she says. Together, they are designed as part of a four-step regime, cost $390 from velettaskincare.com.
