Meet the skin barrier hero: Uriage Bariederm Insulating Repairing Cream (€18, 75ml).

Originally created for professionals with harsh exposures, it’s now loved by athletes and everyday users alike for its dual-action power — protect + repair.

💡 Why it’s different: The patented Poly-2P Complex forms a breathable, insulating film that shields skin from aggressors, while Uriage Thermal Water & phytosqualanes restore and hydrate.

Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and proven to reduce irritation — it’s your go-to protection against friction, chafing, and daily stress on skin.

Now available at Minihan’s.

A timeless Guerlain icon, reimagined. In 1908, Guerlain unveiled the legendary Quadrilobé bottle, created with Baccarat crystal. Today, Mon Guerlain Intense pays tribute to that heritage — an elegant flacon crowned with a silver ring, holding a fragrance that’s bold, sensual, and unforgettable.

✨ Fragrance of the Week at Minihan’s ✨

Heir to Guerlain’s rich heritage, the Les Légendaires collection honours iconic creations, reimagined for today.

This week we celebrate Samsara — the scent of absolute love. 💫
Created by Jean-Paul Guerlain for the woman who never wore perfume, it blends precious jasmine and sandalwood from the East with radiant ylang-ylang and creamy vanilla. The result? A distinguished woody amber fragrance that feels both serene and wildly seductive.

💖 Samsara (meaning “eternal rebirth” in Sanskrit) embodies harmony, fulfilment and sacred love — an immortal inspiration captured in Guerlain’s emblematic inverted-heart bottle.

Available now at Minihan’s, Cork.
