Storyline
S'Able Labs (Elba's backwards) is couple Idris and Sabrina Elba's first baby together. The skin-care line was conceptualized during the pandemic when the two found themselves bonding over their self-care ritual as they spent more time than ever together, alone. "We're a partnership, and skin care is something we can share. We are both on the same page about feeling good externally and it helps us approach our day," Idris Elba told Allure. The brand launched with a three-step routine consisting of the Quasil Cleanser, Black Seed Toner, and Baobab Moisturizer. Each product pays homage to the couple's African heritage through thoughtfully sourced ingredients like Somalian Quasil and Ghanaian shea butter.
Star Product: Editorial assistant Talia Gutierrez and her partner Austin tested the line and are fans of the Black Seed Toner ($37), which is packed with ascorbic acid, ferulic acid, and vitamin E. "We both appreciated the ultra-fine mist that left our skin dewy while feeling clean and hydrated, too," she says.
