Former Model And British Royalty India Hicks Launches Skincare Line

British aristocrat, former model and Bahamas resident, India Hicks announced the launch of her skincare line, Unexpected Beauty.

Hicks, who is the youngest daughter of acclaimed interior designer, David Hicks and Lady Pamela Hicks, partnered with beauty veteran Catherine Walsh to develop a collection of five plant-based products.

Comprised of a cleanser, a facial mist, a moisturizer, a scrub and a balm, the curated line boasts such ingredients as marine algae and anti-inflammatory moringa. The lavish concoctions stem from Hicks’ own travails to find the best ointments for herself.

It’s January 22nd. The day I said I was starting something I could continue. Here it is. Unexpected Beauty. A handful of skincare products made with organic and natural plant-based ingredients combined with the latest proven hi-tech actives. What does that really mean? It means that in the realization that I was approaching 50 and had lived under a tropical sun for half my life, it was time to get serious about looking after my skin. But when I began to look around, the choices seemed confusing - either too simplistic or too complicated. I wanted the perfect combination of both. So we enlisted the help of industry legend Catherine Walsh and after many, many months of work, the result is here. A no-nonsense approach to taking care of your skin. All micro-batched and handmade. And I’m excited. (Discover Unexpected Beauty by visiting the link in my profile, or, of course, speaking with an IH Ambassador.)
