Not to brag, but here at MU we have an eye for talent — the bath and body kind. While everyone is just scrolling instagram or working their 9-5s, we’re scouring the globe for the newest/ coolest/ quirkiest/ most unique brands in the world. And we’re constantly adding to the collection as we discover more. We’re like the Louvre of the bed/bath/body world, except there are no boring bits you want to race past.
And that is why you’re going to want to immediately know about these brands that are new to the site. Apologies in advance to your credit cards, we can’t be held responsible for instant adding-to-cart.
Paddywax: For over 30 years Paddywax have been making artisan candles from their homebase in Nashville, Tennessee. The inception of each collection begins with a story or place, and then they find a vessel to bring that story to life. Unlike most other home fragrance brands, the vessel is not just a consideration or an afterthought, but something integral to the offering. It’s because of that, that each collection looks unique, and also why no matter what your personal—or decor—style you will always be able to find a Paddywax candle to suit your home (and they also make for excellent gifts too). The scents also align with the stories of each collection and are created and curated with perfumers.
Each candle is made from a soy wax blend, which are known to have cleaner burning and less soot, as well as being better for the environment thanks to their plant-based nature, and the vessels themselves are designed to be collectible and reusable. Candles not your thing? They also make incredibly chic incense that will probably be your next gift.
Gracious Minds: Meet the Australian skincare brand turning your everyday routine into a little more of a ritual. Founded in Melbourne in 2021, Gracious Minds combines science-backed actives with Australian native botanicals to create skincare that looks after your skin while encouraging you to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Basically, skincare with a little more soul.
The range is particularly kind to sensitive skin, with vegan and cruelty-free formulations designed to nourish, restore and support the skin barrier. Think antioxidant-rich botanicals, clever actives and beautifully considered formulas that make your skincare routine feel less like another item on the to-do list and more like something you actually want to do.
From the Photosynthesis Retinol Alternative Elixir, powered by bakuchiol and cold-pressed broccoli seed oil, to hydrating face mists, sheet masks, body oils and ritual products, Gracious Minds is all about making self-care feel intentional — without sacrificing results. Australian-made, beautifully packaged and inspired by the natural world, it’s a very welcome addition to the MU bathroom shelf.
