Welcome to Launch Digest, where we bring you the latest and greatest product launches to hit the market across the DTC universe. Spring is in full swing, so it’s no wonder the launches this week seem extra sparkly and bright. We’re talking my new favorite hand cream courtesy of a dreamy partnership between a farm and a beauty brand based on another farm; indulgent date-sweetened chocolates and skincare for ultra-deserving mother figures; and the official start of swimwear launches, for babies and adults alike. Plus some heirloom jewelry that’s sweet as candy, and Earth Day launches worth celebrating.

Soft Hands And Food Justice
Tata Harper teamed up with Sky High Farm Universe to launch a Nourishing Hand Cream powered by twenty-six ethically sourced botanicals to hydrate and soften the skin barrier. We’re talking six different butters, from Aloe to Mango, boosted by Strawberry Seed Oil (upcycled from fruit juice and jam), Wild Pansy Extract, and Oat Ceramides. Even better than the light Lavender, Chamomile, and Lemon Myrtle scent is the mission behind the partnership: 100% of the proceeds are going directly to Sky High Farm to power their non-profit work towards food equity and security. An Earth Week purchase I can get behind!
Gifts For The Chocoholic Maternal Figure
Mother’s Day is fast-approaching. We covered the flowers last week (if you haven’t ordered a poppy or ranuncula yet, consider this your reminder). This week, our theme is: chocolate. And what more could a girl need?
Inspired by Japanese wrapping and the sunset color schemes of Spring & Mulberry’s date-sweetened chocolate bars, the brand is wrapping its artisan chocolate – as if it weren’t already luxe enough – in custom Furoshiki wrap just for Mother’s Day. Order a set of three or six bars with a handwritten gift note for a sweet treat that tastes just as rich as it looks – launching officially for purchase next week. (High alert notice: the brand also just restocked my favorite flavor, Mulberry Fennel, as anti-inflammatory and nutrient-rich as it is delicious.)
If the maternal figure in your life rejects dark chocolate, send along some melt-in-your-mouth (dairy free) milk chocolate from LOVO, available in Almond, Coconut, Hazelnut, and Oat iterations. Think: swiss chocolate, made vegan.
Skincare Magic From Budapest & A Celebratory Lip Treatment
Meet Omorovicza, a skincare brand powered by the healing thermal waters of Budapest. Whether you’re exploring their bodycare line or bestselling serums, retinols, and creams, you might want to read up on their patented Healing Concentrate, a bio-fermented active ingredient clinically proven to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness, derived from Budapest’s mineral-rich waters. The site is brimming with bundles ideal for gifting or testing – why not snag one for mom and another for yourself?
Elsewhere in the world of your complexion, clean Japanese skincare brand DAMDAM just launched a highly anticipated Matcha-Infused Eye Serum, a brightening milky formula that hydrates while reducing puffiness. Uji Matcha prevents UV damage and neutralizes free radicals; Bakuchi, a natural alternative to retinol, works double-time to support collagen growth.
Coinciding with Earth Month, Tower 28 is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a Confetti Cake LipSoftie, a balm that intensely hydrates like a mask – so you can wear your cake and eat it, too (with food-grade, non-artificial flavor, of course).
Structured Canvas Totes For Summer
Launch (and trend) watch: structured canvas totes that will take you from work to the beach, and perhaps even a weekend getaway. Dal the Label is making a great Structured Tote in collaboration with Ink + Porcelain, featuring leather detailing and a six-pocket interior to keep you organized – whether you’re packing SPF & sunnies, your laptop, or both. Agnes Baddoo’s Market Sac is the platonic ideal of a tote for chic schlepping. With seven roomy compartments that’ll fit everything from a bottle of wine to a Moon Juice thermal tote, this is the diaper bag, camping bag, fill-in-the-blank-bag you’ve been searching for.
Before You Go…
We’ve still got plenty of launches in the catch-all section. Temperatures are heating up – do you know where your swimsuit is? If it’s time for a refresh, you’re in luck. Monday Swimwear just dropped its first Summer Collection, featuring a new verdant Cypress colorway, a geometric Cypress Geo pattern, and a restock on its fan-favorite Husk Geo collection. (I own a Monday bikini and can confirm this is an internet-born brand that suprasses its own hype.)
J. Crew partnered with minnow on a limited-edition capsule of children’s and women’s swimwear for looking very chic and coordinated with your little one. Hint: here is yet another perfect Mother’s Day gift. I’m practically handing them to you!
Passover is this coming week. What better time to shop Judaica (and Judaica jewelry) from Susan Alexandra? In the world of jewelry you’ll drool over, J. Hannah launched a collection of Gem Drops featuring candy-hued precious stones with bezel-set diamonds. That sentence is, to me, ASMR. Wear these heirlooms on your ears or around your neck – or both, if you’re so lucky.
W&P is celebrating Earth Day by launching new Oat and Sage colorways in their Seal Tight Bowls and Reusable Bags this Sunday. There is truly no better time to commit to reducing waste than Earth Month, and up to 20% off sitewide should give you even more incentive. (My personal pick: the Ceramic Lunch Bowl, which has singlehandedly made me into a person who actually enjoys preparing and packing lunch.)
Happy shopping. Email me directly – zoe@thequalityedit.com – with any launches you’d like to see in the spotlight, or DM us over @thequalityedit.
