Kiehl’s is celebrating its 175th birthday and decided the best way to mark the milestone was with cake, quite literally. The brand just dropped a limited-edition collaboration with Milk Bar, the cult NYC bakery known for turning childhood cravings into elevated treats, and the result is somehow both cozy and craveable.
The Kiehl’s x Milk Bar Collection—available now exclusively at Kiehls.com and in Kiehl’s stores—centers around Kiehl’s beloved Lip Balm #1 ($14), now available in three Milk Bar–inspired flavors. Cereal Milk Frozen Swirl leans into salt, honey and cornflake for that nostalgic bowl-of-cereal scent. Buttercream Birthday Cake goes full celebration mode with vanilla bean, whipped icing and a dusting of brown sugar sprinkle. Red Velvet Truffle rounds things out with cocoa powder, chocolate buttercake and creamy cheesecake, balanced by warm brown sugar vanilla. Each one is packed with the same hydrating, lip-soothing formula Kiehl’s fans already swear by, just with a sweeter personality.
The lineup also includes a new take on the Crème de Corps Smoothing Oil-to-Foam Body Cleanser ($35), now in Cereal Milk Frozen Swirl. It’s a nourishing oil that transforms into a light foam in the shower, leaving skin soft without stripping it.
For those who want the full experience, there’s also a limited-edition Body and Balm Set featuring the Cereal Milk Frozen Swirl and Buttercream Birthday Cake lip balms plus the iconic Soy Milk and Honey Whipped Body Butter in a custom pink jar—coming soon. Sweet tooth optional, though it definitely helps.
