Julia Cash, Creative Director at Mad Beauty, describes the collection as “feel-good bath and beauty gifts, carefully crafted to immerse you in the enchanting essence of the holiday season.” She emphasises the enchanting swirly gumdrops fragrance used across the range, serves as a whimsical tie-in with the beloved film. Julia adds, “Just as Buddy the Elf spreads cheer with his infectious spirit, our ‘elf-care’ products aim to bring that same magic into your self-care routine.”
Trevor Cash, Mad Beauty Director, expresses excitement, stating, “We are thrilled to be part of the celebrations, and having our collection displayed at the iconic Empire State Building is a great achievement for the entire team.”
