As we farewell our Autumn ‘Rest & Unwind’ Box, we want to take a moment to celebrate the brands behind the products inside.
This box was a favourite, and it's not hard to see why - it was packed with some seriously beautiful products from brands we adore.
Let’s celebrate the brands behind the magic in our Autumn ‘Rest & Unwind’ Retreat Box, as well as share some special discount codes they've shared with the Retreat Yourself community.
Ray Skincare - Vitamin Elixir Face Oil
Ray Skincare - behind the Vitamin Elixir Face Oil - is one of the most thoughtful, values-led brands we’ve ever come across.

No fillers, no nasties - just nature, integrity and intention. Ray isn’t just skincare. It’s a slow, sacred ritual for your skin and your soul.
