(And we\u2019re grateful for that!) It can be hard for new brands to break through the noise, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ascensionearth.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ascension<\/a>, an edible vegan skincare brand founded in 2018 by multi-hyphenate Max Hemphill (the photographer for our first- ever Grazia Gazette cover!), is doing just that. Centered around detoxification, repair, and protection, the line first came into being when Hemphill began his journey into veganism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted the products I used to reflect my new lifestyle\u201d says Hemphill. \u201cAfter I had contracted a parasite in the Dominican Republic, I started using diatomaceous earth and saw tremendous effects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This sparked his vision of what the beauty and wellness industry should look like: rooted in both spiritual and physical wellness. The gender-neutral brand thoughtfully curates every item to work together for a holistic skincare regimen; Ascension is not only environmentally, eco- conscious but incredibly affordable within the skincare sector, with products ranging from $16 to $26.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur products are made with raw ingredients and are intended for internal and external use. We strive to provide inner and outer beauty through a holistic approach,\u201d Hemphill tells <em>Grazia Gazette: Los Angeles<\/em>. \u201cOur intention is for people to understand that skincare is also a part of self-care, and our hope is to make it easy for our customers to achieve their sense of beauty with our products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For first- time users of the brand, Hemphill recommends the Rose 528 face and body spray ($25).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s truly my favorite because it\u2019s so easy and quick to use, and it really does a fantastic job at uplifting your mood while hydrating the skin with trace minerals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Written by Shelton
