Brad Pitt's Skincare Brand Beau Domaine: From Grape Waste to Luxury Face Creams
Beau Domaine unveils a new look—and a deeper commitment to circular beauty. NEW YORK, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This summer, Beau Domaine—the luxury French skincare brand co-created by Brad Pitt and the Perrin winemaking family—is revealing more than just a new design. It's unveiling a broader vision rooted in science, sustainability, and the soil of Provence. Best known for its celebrity pedigree and award-winning anti-aging formulas, the brand is taking a bold step forward with refreshed, planet-friendly packaging and a renewed emphasis on upcycling, a process that turns winemaking waste into powerful skincare ingredients. 'In nature, there is no concept of waste,' Pitt said. 'Every discarded thing becomes nourishment for another.' It's a philosophy that runs through every aspect of Beau Domaine's relaunch. The new packaging design, now in luminous white, reflects both the purity and scientific precision behind the brand's formulations. But the sustainability push goes beyond aesthetics. By lightening the weight of the bottles and jars, the brand is reducing its carbon footprint. And most notably, it's continuing to transform the byproducts of winemaking—specifically grape pomace—into bioactive ingredients that power its skincare line. This approach positions Beau Domaine at the forefront of the beauty industry's growing interest in circular economy principles: reusing, regenerating, and repurposing what was once considered waste. Leading that effort is Dr. Léo Lajoie, Head of Research and Development at Famille Perrin, who holds a Ph.D. in green chemistry. Stationed onsite in Provence, Lajoie is focused on studying the region's native flora for new extraction methods and upcycling potential, ensuring that each ingredient not only delivers clinical results but does so in harmony with the environment. While the look is new, the brand's formulas remain unchanged. Each product is powered by two patented ingredients developed in collaboration with Professors Nicolas Lévy and Pierre-Louis Teissedre: GSM10®, a powerful antioxidant blend derived from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grape pomace; and ProGR3®, a compound originally developed in the study of progeria that targets 11 of the 12 key biological markers of skin aging. The brand's updated visual identity arrives at a time when American consumers are increasingly embracing ingredient-first, efficacy-driven skincare—especially from 'French pharmacy' brands that combine clean science with proven results. Beau Domaine brings that sensibility to the luxury tier, offering formulas that are both high-performance and environmentally conscious. 'At Beau Domaine, our vision is to redefine beauty by combining the best of nature and science,' says Christelle Clarac-Boutot, Brand Director. 'With this new design, we're affirming our mission: to deliver an exceptional skincare experience that is timeless, high-performance, and deeply aligned with our values of excellence. It marks the brand's evolution—without ever compromising our standards or commitments.' The move also strengthens the brand's connection to its roots. The Perrin family has cultivated vineyards in the heart of Provence for five generations, and their expertise in terroir now extends beyond wine to wellness. With its new identity and deepened focus on upcycling, Beau Domaine is reinforcing the message that luxury skincare can be both scientifically advanced and ecologically responsible. And sometimes, what once was waste can become something beautiful. Beau Domaine skincare is available at

Boann Distillery helps craft a landmark blended whisky to celebrate The British and Irish Lions partnership
Five distilleries across Ireland and Britain have come together to produce a luxury blended whiskey named after the year of the Lions' founding: 1888 The producers involved are Co. Meath's Boann, Echlinville (Northern Ireland), Cameronbridge (Scotland), White Peak (England) and Penderyn (Wales), each bringing a unique character to a truly unified dram. With just 1,888 individually numbered bottles released, 1888 aims to offer fans a tangible piece of Lions and whisky history in this rare collaboration. It was launched to mark Scottish company, Patron Saint Whisky's appointment as an Official Supplier to The British & Irish Lions Men's Team. Patron Saint collaborates with esteemed distilleries across Ireland and Britain to create exceptional whiskies that celebrate heritage and unity. "We are immensely proud to contribute to the creation of 1888,' said Pat Cooney, founder of family-run Boann Distillery. 'This whisky is more than a blend - it's a symbol of unity and the exceptional craftsmanship found in each of the four unions. 'The Lions represent the pinnacle of sporting achievement and tradition, and it's an honour for Boann to be part of this iconic partnership." Crafted using an array of special casks – including Oloroso Sherry, Mourvèdre, Red Wine, and First-fill Bourbon – 1888 delivers a luxurious sensory experience. On the nose, it reveals sweet vanilla, tangy citrus and baked fruit, followed by layers of summer berries, butterscotch and lightly toasted nuts on the palate. The 2025 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia began with a home fixture in Dublin on June 20, with Andy Farrell's men suffering defeat to Argentina in a thrilling tour match. A series of high-profile matches Down Under this month will culminate in a three-Test series against the Wallabies, starting Saturday, July 19. The release of 1888 has been supported by Lions legends John Rutherford and Craig Chalmers, both praising its craftsmanship and its connection to the spirit of the Lions. 'Just as every Lion who pulls on that jersey contributes to its enduring legacy, every dram of '1888' reflects the careful crafting and dedication that defines a Lion,' said Rutherford. Ben Calveley, CEO of The British & Irish Lions, said, 'I am pleased to welcome Patron Saint to the Lions family and hope that our fans enjoy their unique whisky whilst they cheer on the team this summer.'

Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand releases wine Napa rosé, but British fans can't order it yet
British royal watchers hoping to get a taste of Meghan Markle's new rosé were left disappointed today - the wine is only available in the US. The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle brand, As Ever, officially launched its debut wine offering - a 2023 Napa Valley rosé - on Monday, reports GB News. While the product was released at 4 pm BST, shoppers in the UK quickly realised they couldn't place any orders. Priced at around £24 per bottle, the wine is being sold exclusively in the United States through the brand's newly launched American website. According to GB News, As Ever has no immediate plans to ship to the UK. A source told the outlet that Meghan is aware of the global demand and will be 'assessing' international shipping as the brand grows. For now, however, British consumers are left waiting. The timing of the release only added to the frustration. By the time UK fans saw the Instagram announcement, the US-only restriction was already in place. The brand has not provided a timeline for when - or if - UK deliveries might be possible. The new wine is described as a dry, Provençal-style rosé made from a custom blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah grapes. With an alcohol content of 14.5 per cent, it's meant to evoke 'sun-drenched weekends and summer laughter,' according to the brand's marketing. Shoppers can't buy just one bottle either. The wine is only available in bundles: a three-pack for $90 (around £72), a half-case for $160 (£127), or a full case for $300 (£240). As Ever promoted the launch with a minimal Instagram post featuring the wine in an ice bucket. The caption kept things simple: 'Just in time for summer.' This marks the brand's third product release since launching in April. The previous two products sold out within minutes. Meghan reportedly worked closely on this particular wine, curating what As Ever describes as a 'bespoke blend.' The Napa rosé is just the beginning. The company says it's planning a Méthode Champenoise sparkling wine next, with more varietals on the way. The wine is available only in the US through UK customers currently cannot place orders. A single bottle is about £24, but must be purchased in sets of 3, 6, or 12. The rosé features a proprietary mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has said her latest venture is all about celebration
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has said her latest venture is all about celebration. The mum-of-two, 43, has been busy launching products under her As Ever brand label, and she made the remarks as she unveiled a new $30-a-bottle Rosé from California's Napa Valley. Meghan told fans: 'This blend captures the essence of celebration, inviting wine lovers to toast all the moments that matter most – both big and small.' The duchess launched her 2023 Napa Valley Rosé through a new wine section of her lifestyle brand's website, It is being sold at $30 (£21) per bottle, with discounts for larger purchases — a three-pack for $90 (£65), a half case for $159 (£115), or a full case for $300 (£218). Meghan is also preparing to release a sparkling wine under the same As Ever label. The wine is described on the site as 'a pale blush wine' that offers 'roundness and depth of flavour', with 'gentle minerality and soft notes of stone fruit with a lasting finish'. The bottle contains an 'As Ever blend' of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah grapes, which the site says creates a 'sophisticated, dry, and refreshing' flavour designed for 'summer's best moments – from lunches that turn into dinners and sun-drenched weekends where the only thing louder than the music is the laughter'. Meghan's return to the business world comes amid renewed speculation around her and Prince Harry, 40, potentially seeking a path back to the royal family. The couple stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and now reside in California with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. But notes newly published by royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith have shed further light on the reaction of Queen Elizabeth II to the couple's departure — often referred to as 'Megxit'. In one passage, the Queen, who died in September 2022, reportedly told her cousin and confidante Lady Elizabeth Anson she was 'not at all content'. According to Bedell Smith's Extra Substack blog, Lady Elizabeth, who died in 2020 aged 79, told her: 'Harry was rude to (the Queen) for 10 minutes.' The notes also describe tensions leading up to Meghan and Harry's 2018 wedding. Meghan, it is said, would not reveal details about her dress to the Queen. Lady Elizabeth reportedly told the biographer: 'Meghan wouldn't tell her Queen Elizabeth II about the wedding dress.' The dress, a Givenchy design with a bateau neckline and three-quarter sleeves, was ultimately viewed by the Queen as 'flamboyant' and, according to the notes, she felt it was 'not fit for a divorcee'. Meghan had previously been married to film producer Trevor Engelson. Lady Elizabeth also told Bedell Smith: 'The jury (was) out on whether she likes Meghan.' The Queen, according to the interview, was 'so saddened' by the Sussexes' decision to leave royal life behind, the biographer wrote.
