What 5786 Means for Beauty, Truth, and the Glow We Share
New Year, New Energy
As the sun set on Monday, September 22, 2025, we stepped into Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year — and with it the beginning of Hebrew year 5786. Rosh Hashanah isn’t just a date; it’s a spiritual reset, a chance to align with fresh cycles of renewal and truth. At Uncommonly Gorgeous, we believe beauty moves with the seasons of the soul. That’s why we’re leaning into what 5786 means — for us, for you, and for the glow we share.
The Decade of the Mouth (Peh) — Words That Glow
We’re in the “Peh” decade, peh literally means mouth in Hebrew. Translation: it’s the decade of speaking up, speaking out, and shaping your world with words.
Sound familiar? The beauty industry has lived off fine print and confusing labels for decades. 5786 isn’t having it. This is the year of radical truth telling and Uncommonly Gorgeous was basically born for this moment.
We’re talking:
Ingredients you can actually pronounce (no chem lab tongue twisters).
Labels that don’t require a PhD.
Rituals that feel like nourishment, not punishment.
If the 2020s are the decade of the mouth, consider UG your megaphone.
Fire + Connection — Shin + Vav Energy
5786 is written in Hebrew letters as Tav Shin Peh Vav. Two of those, Shin (fire) and Vav (connection), tell a story.
Fire means transformation. The kind that lights up, not burns out.
Connection is the hook between worlds; heaven to earth, spirit to skin, ritual to results.
And that’s UG in a nutshell. Our formulas are the spark (botanicals, Tremella, sea buckthorn) and our rituals are the bridge, turning skincare into something that feeds both barrier and soul. This year, that bridge isn’t optional. It’s essential.
Truth + Responsibility
The letter Tav is all about truth and completion. And in the seven year Shmita cycle, 5786 is the year of Ma’aser Ani, the tithe for the poor. In plain English: it’s a year of giving back.
So the questions for us (and you) are:
Are we really walking our talk?
How are we redistributing glow, not just bottling it?
Can skincare be part of social justice, not just self care?
For UG, that means growing our Glow Smarter initiative and teaching teens how to read labels in the community and demand better. It means formulas that heal more than skin. And yes, it means holding the beauty industry accountable. Because if not us, then who?
What 5786 Invites You to Do
This year’s energy isn’t just for us. It’s for anyone who wants their rituals to carry more weight than a “self-care Sunday” hashtag. Here’s what 5786 is whispering into your bathroom mirror:
Speak truth → even if it’s just muttering “this serum is magic” while you pat it in.
Light fires that heal → rituals, words, choices that spark life, not burnout.
Build connections → with your body, your skin, your people.
Give back → glow is better when it’s contagious.
Our Glow Decree for 5786
At Uncommonly Gorgeous, we believe beauty isn’t skin deep. It’s truth deep.
So here’s our 5786 decree: This year, may our words glow, may our actions heal, and may our beauty reflect something deeper than skin.
Rosh Hashanah invites us to begin again. And at Uncommonly Gorgeous, we’re ready, not just to create products, but to keep creating a movement that feels aligned, radiant, and unapologetically unordinary.
Here’s to a new year. Here’s to a new glow. And here’s to you, for being part of it.
