The application shows that it will sell ‘fragrance sachets; Lavender sachets; Non-medicated skin care preparations; Bath and shower gels and salts…non-mediated hair preparations; Bath soap; Bar Soap: Non-Medicated Hand Soaps: Body Creams: Bath Oil: Body Lotions: Cosmetics (and) Body Oils
She plans to sell bath, yoga and meditation mats, locket jewelry, stationery sets, note cards and letter openers.
Markle announced the launch of the lifestyle brand this month with a teasing ad that shows her arranging flowers and stirring a plate of something while being filmed in soft focus in her creamy-hued kitchen.
The video was posted on the new brand’s Instagram account in a launch that experts say could generate six-figure sales in a matter of weeks.
It has been seen as a revival of her former lifestyle website, The Tig, which she started before she met Prince Harry, 39, and when she was still just a humble actress starring on the Amazon show Suits.
In addition to cosmetics, shampoos, soaps and hand and body oils, it has already filed a trademark application to cover everything from decorative fairy lights to candles, lamps, lanterns and cutlery.
It will sell spices, condiments, nut butters, jams and jellies, ‘edible oils and fats’ and spreads made from legumes, garlic and sesame, as well as herbal teas, honey dippers and bird feeders.
The duchess also plans to sell bath, yoga and meditation mats, locket jewelry, stationery sets, note cards and letter openers.

Tote bags, pet leashes, wine cases, wine bags with handles for carrying or storing wine, pillows, furniture, drawer organizers… they’re all on the list.
In fact, if you can dream it, eat it, sit on it, grow it, write with it, see or smell it, then chances are Markle intends to sell it.
The Duchess has said very little about the company publicly, with the only hints of what’s to come coming in the form of nine cryptic Instagram posts uploaded last week that reveal the name and logo.
But the sheer ambition of the lifestyle brand is obvious in the broad trademark application that covers every imaginable aspect of interior and exterior design, cooking and lifestyle and, now, beauty.
The new brand has been seen as a revival of her former lifestyle website, The Tig, which she founded before meeting Prince Harry.
Meghan shared a video that gives viewers a hint of what they can expect from her brand. There’s a clip of Meghan cooking in a kitchen, filled with various high-quality kitchen utensils.
There will also be downloadable cookbooks and recipe books from the duchess, who previously spoke of her love of food and cooking, as well as printed copies.
Markle has long talked about her love of vegetables and legumes — growing them and eating them — and once called hummus, carrots and crackers a “snack trifecta.”
In 2016, she said she follows a vegan diet during the week and is more flexible on the weekends.
She said: “I don’t take care of myself just for aesthetic reasons, but because how I feel depends on what I eat, how much I rest and how much water I drink.”
Even her children Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, love vegetables, she said on an episode of her podcast, Archetypes.
The duchess is credited with helping her husband Harry adopt a healthier diet with more smoothies and less meat.
And while the sheer scale of Markle’s business ambitions may draw attention, the products themselves are clearly tacky compared to the kind of fare available on Paltrow’s Goop.
Paltrow infamously sold a $66 ‘jade egg’ with the claim that it could help ‘female energy’ when inserted into the vagina.
Goop was ordered to pay $145,000 after prosecutors in 10 California counties filed a false advertising lawsuit over the product.
