Our skin is one of the most exposed organs of our body. Unfortunately, issues like food and inclement weather can often cause damage, leading to embarrassing blemishes like acne and eczema. Fortunately, an array of skincare products are available at our disposal, ready to help fight off those pesky impurities.
Hollywood power couple Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina recently launched their new skin line S’Able Labs and it’s geared toward all types of skin. Whether our skin is oily or super dry, S’Able Labs has the answer to our prayers.
Launched on July 12, the skincare line includes only three products at the moment; the Qasil Powder, the Black Seed Toner and the Baobab Moisturizer. Making this line all the better, it even comes in a sample-size, Discovery Kit. Not to mention, the star-studded skincare line has several natural ingredients that help promote healthy skin from the inside out.

While many contributing factors went into producing the skincare line S’Able Labs, the biggest one stemmed from Sabrina’s connection to the continent. Last year, the model visited Kenya and Somalia as a Goodwill Ambassador for the International Fund of Agricultural Development.
During her and Idris’ trip to Africa, the ambassador recalled her fondest memory as “sitting beneath a massive Baobab tree.” Furthermore, the superfood Baobab is a key ingredient featured in S’Able Labs’ Baobab Moisturizer. The product comes packed with
