Omno, a Singaporean brand known for its luxurious yet sustainable approach to body care, has opened its first physical store at New Bahru. Here, you can indulge in their range of hand, hair, and body products – all housed in sleek, minimalist packaging that’s reminiscent of Aesop’s.
We’re particularly fond of their Solace Hand & Body Cleanser. This pH-balanced and sulphate-free gel cleanser boasts a unique fragrance profile that blends citrusy notes of bergamot with calming lavender.
They also have everything from shampoos and deodorants to mosquito repellents and aromatherapy roll-ons.
