The Evening Wind-Down Collection: A Marianella Edit

```html

The hour after the day ends and before sleep begins is its own kind of weather. The light changes. The body finally exhales. What you put on your skin in those quiet minutes is not afterthought. It is the most honest part of a skincare practice, the part with no audience and no performance.

Marianella's Evening Wind-Down Collection was built for exactly this hour. Eighteen years of small-batch formulation in Brooklyn, grounded in three generations of Venezuelan botanical knowledge, have produced a body and face range that treats nighttime skin for what it is: receptive, unhurried, and worth the attention.

Start in the Shower

The wind-down begins before you step out. The Replenishing Body Wash with Kalahari Oil opens the routine without stripping. Kalahari melon seed oil, a cold-pressed botanical from southern Africa, carries a fatty acid profile that works with skin rather than against it. The lather is generous. The rinse is clean. The skin after feels prepared, not squeezed dry. $38.

This is not a body wash that asks you to follow it immediately with three corrective steps. It does its part and steps back.

The Body, Layered Deliberately

Out of the shower, the skin is warm and at peak absorption. This is when layering matters most, and Marianella's body range is designed to be built in sequence.

The New Imperial Jade Body Oil goes on first, pressing into damp skin with a few drops distributed across the arms, legs, and décolletage. Jade has been used in East Asian and South American beauty traditions for centuries, valued for its mineral density and its association with skin clarity. The oil is lightweight enough to absorb without residue, rich enough to actually feed the skin barrier through the night. $46.

For those who prefer a more atmospheric experience, the Rosewood and Litsea Cubeba Imperial Jade Body Oil brings the same base with a botanical scent profile. Rosewood is warm and slightly resinous. Litsea cubeba, sourced from a small evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia, contributes a clean citrus note that fades slowly. Together they create something that functions as both skincare and an olfactory signal to the nervous system that the day is done. $46.

The Rejuvenating Body Cream with Kalahari Oil follows the oil, sealing in moisture and adding body. The 16 fl. oz. format is designed for daily use without rationing. A full palm's worth for the legs. Enough for the arms, the neck, the hands. Kalahari oil in a cream base delivers sustained hydration through the night, the kind that shows up as visible softness by morning. $68.

The Hydrating Hand Cream with Kalahari Oil completes the body sequence. Hands absorb more product and lose moisture faster than almost any other area of the body. The 16 fl. oz. size is a deliberate choice: generous, refillable thinking, the kind of format that belongs in a bathroom or on a bedside table rather than tucked in a drawer and forgotten. $68.

The Face, After Dark

Nighttime face care in 2026 has moved away from the more-is-more philosophy. Two well-formulated serums, applied consistently, outperform a ten-step cascade that challenges the skin barrier to process too much at once.

Marianella's two core serums represent different but complementary priorities.

The Royal Kalahari Face Serum leads with deep hydration and barrier support. Kalahari melon seed oil at the face level, where the skin is thinner and more reactive than the body, works to restore lipid balance and support overnight cell function. The texture is lightweight but present. It absorbs without the tacky finish that plagues heavier overnight formulas. $72.

The Vitamin C Collagen Boosting Face Serum with Niacinamide is the active complement. Vitamin C and niacinamide together address skin tone, collagen synthesis, and surface clarity. Applied at night when skin is in its natural repair cycle, this combination works with the body's own processes rather than against them. Niacinamide is one of the most studied ingredients in modern dermatology, with documented effects on barrier function, hyperpigmentation, and sebum regulation. The serum applies cleanly and layers without pilling. $72.

The Vitamin C Collagen Boosting Face Serum with Niacinamide GWP is available as a gift-with-purchase option, a practical entry point for anyone building out their first Marianella face routine or wanting to introduce the brand to someone whose skin they know well. $0.

What Eighteen Years of Formulation Looks Like in Practice

Marianella's founder built this brand from Venezuelan botanical heritage, from a lineage of women who understood plant oils, raw materials, and the intelligence of slow-crafted formulas before the beauty industry invented vocabulary for it. That knowledge base, now spanning three generations, is not marketing copy. It is the actual reason the formulas work the way they do.

Every product in this collection is handcrafted in Brooklyn in small batches. Eighty-two SKUs across face, body, and home, now available at Bloomingdale's BEAUTYSPACE alongside the brand's direct channels.

The Evening Wind-Down Collection is available now at marianella.co and at Bloomingdale's BEAUTYSPACE. Start with what your skin needs most. The rest builds naturally from there.
