The First Beauty Launches of 2026, A Celebrity Chef’s Pantry Must-Have, and More

First Up: A Setting Spray From Saie

As I hinted in last week’s Launch Digest, setting sprays are shaping up to be an early beauty trend for 2026. Saie launched the CitySet Setting Spray, a clean, non-comedogenic, alcohol-free setting spray designed to extend makeup wear for 16 hours and hydrate the skin. The ultra-fine mist is lightweight on skin, providing a natural-dewy finish without any stickiness or dryness. Its soothing formula makes it ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin.

Trending: Whole Ingredients

Chef Scott Conant, best known for Chopped, Scarpetta, and his cookbooks including Peace, Love, and Pasta: Simple and Elegant Recipes from a Chef's Home Kitchen, is bringing his signature pomodoro to grocery shelves with Martone Street, a new line of tomato sauces inspired by his family’s recipes. The line is launching with four sauces, all made with organic tomatoes and clean ingredients. Each is gluten-free, non-GMO, and contains no added sugar or preservatives. As of this week, Martone Street is available at Sprouts nationwide and via the Martone Street website.  

There’s an exciting launch in the non-alc beverage space: Montara, an organic, non-alcoholic verjus spritz crafted from organic early-harvest Chardonnay grapes grown along California’s coast from SomethingElse, the makers of Kally. The brand describes their spritz as “California in a can”: refreshing and bright, full of natural citrus and stone-fruit notes, minerality, and a dry finish. I’m always in search of non-alc options that aren’t dealcoholized wines or overly sweet mocktails, so I love that their recipe includes just three ingredients: each naturally non-alcoholic can blends verjus (pressed from young, unfermented Chardonnay grapes), filtered water, and bubbles. Perfect for those wanting to cut back after an indulgent holiday season.

Trending: Winter Accessories

DeMellier launched The Stockholm Collection - a modern, sculptural interpretation of the classic bowling bag silhouette. The new bag shape is available in several sizes, and was conceived by an all-female London design team.

Lack of Color launched the Snowfall Collection — a snow-inspired drop of winter accessories that elevates the après-ski aesthetic with babushkas, trappers, beanie headbands, and buckets — all in soft neutrals, plush textures, and dreamy chalet-ready silhouettes, and all under $200.
