When The Nue Co. launched its line of chic yet functional wellness supplements last JanuaryWhen The Nue Co. launched its line of chic yet functional wellness supplements last January, the five organic food-based powders instantly sold out on Net-a-Porter—and racked up a 2,000-person waitlist for its complexion-brightening formula, Skin Food. Now, the beloved brand is back with the Reboot collection, a survival kit of five TSA-approved flight aids that are available for preorder online starting today and will soon be carried at the Ace Hotel. “I could find [travel] sets to help with skin and hair or miniature body lotions, but nothing that . . . dealt with the physical concerns of travel: muscle tension, immunity, sleep, energy, and gut health,” says The Nue Co. founder Jules Miller, who regularly bounces back and forth between New York City, Los Angeles, and England, where her products are developed in a Cambridge lab. Fans of the brand will recognize Prebiotic + Probiotic, the line’s signature gut food complex—this time offered in coconut oil–derived capsules. “Your gut is the backbone of your immune system,” says Miller, who recommends taking the rebalancing formula starting two days before airtime. New to the lineup are the protective Defence Drops—an in-flight essential considering that colds are 100 times more likely to be transmitted on a plane—as well as a gentle sleep-inducing tincture, which contains sedative valerian root, soothing chamomile, and anxiety-reducing catnip. Those who didn’t opt for extra legroom should reach for Magnesium Ease, a topical spray that reduces muscle tension and cramping thanks to its blend of magnesium chloride, lavender oil, and arnica oil. Meanwhile, groggy travelers need only half a teaspoon of Power Up upon landing for an instant jolt: “It’s a double espresso shot without the jitters.” Suddenly, that transatlantic flight isn’t seeming so bad.
