INTERVIEW: Actress Naomi Watts On Why She’s Embraced The Clean Beauty Movement, Skincare Must-Haves, The ONDA Mama Box, The Hamptons, And Much More

Nicole Barylskiby Nicole Barylski

In 2016, Naomi Watts joined forces with Larissa Thomson and Sarah Bryden-Brown to open ONDA Beauty, a clean beauty oasis that highlights products made with ethically sourced, clean, non-toxic, and organic ingredients, and also offers luxurious treatments. Since then, ONDA has grown to three outposts – including one in Sag Harbor.

For Mother’s Day, Thomson and Watts hand-picked 11 of their favorite clean beauty products, which are featured in The ONDA Mama Box – and five percent of the proceeds of every Mama Box sale will be donated to ONDA’s charity partner Every Mother Counts.

In an interview with Hamptons.com, Watts shared her skincare must-haves and routine, what an ideal day in the Hamptons looks like, and much more.

Why was the clean beauty movement something that interested you – and when did you first start exploring the industry?

NW: Working as an actor puts immense strain on one’s skin. It’s up to 16-hour workdays under hot lights and hopping in and out of the makeup chair, with reapplications all day long. That’s a lot of chemical wear and tear on your skin. And my skin eventually started having reactions…

Larissa Thomson, a friend, and also a co-founder at ONDA had me try clean beauty alternatives, and though I hadn’t avoided clean beauty entirely, I was a little bit skeptical at first, but I saw almost an immediate improvement. Everything was just as effective and I didn’t have any adverse reactions. Also the knowledge of the ingredients being used, all being devoid of anything harmful yet still active.

What inspired you, Larissa, and Sarah to found ONDA? Why did you select Sag Harbor for an outpost?

NW: We all have a connection out east one way or another and not only that, it’s a beautiful place to spend time, so it was a natural fit. Larissa and I live in the city, so it’s a gorgeous destination that’s necessary and within arms reach, or at least a long weekends.

Can we expect any special guests or events at the Sag Harbor store this spring/summer?

NW: We always have a great lineup in spring and summer, so we can expect some of the same peeps. Jenny Kane and Sunny’s Pop and plenty of others too. Doing collabs is one of our favorite things. Getting to use the garden and joining forces with other brands we authentically match with makes for a greater community.

Tell us about your skincare and beauty routine.

NW: Being in “the biz” and I mean skincare business, means I am always trying new things. So I have a lot of varied products on my shelf at any given point. Call it a job perk, but when I’m not testing things, and that’s usually when I’m traveling, I always have some favorites with me.

I’m usually in the shower first thing in the morning and that’s where it starts, I’ll use a light cleanser like African Botanics Baobab Clay Oxygenating Cleanser, which is super moisturizing for a cleanser. Rahua Hair products are always in the shower, although I don’t wash my hair everyday.

Once I’m out I always start with a face mist (which makes the products absorb more easily into the skin afterwards), then I apply a serum, BeautyCounter does a great C-serum, then a face oil like Vintner’s Daughter and I’ll often mix the oil with a moisturizer, like Barbara Sturm’s Face Cream Rich and that’s usually it! If I’m heading out I’ll use a clean SPF and slap on a little bit of lippy. BeautyCounter is always in my lipstick rotation.

What are some products you can’t live without?

NW: Sunscreen. I love Beauty Counter’s and Barbara Sturm’s. Also Beauty Counter Dew Skin is a must-have as it gives you a little coverage as well as a light SPF.

Besides The ONDA Mama Box, what are you hoping Mother’s Day includes this year?

NW: Always time with my kids. They’re at an age where I’m not “cool anymore” so I love that they at least fake it a little for me on Mother’s Day, and at least in faking it they can enjoy themselves in the process. They know I love breakfast in bed with handwritten cards. We’ll play some games, and if out east, hopefully have a trip to the beach for a walk or even a swim. It’s really just the perfect excuse to spend time with them exactly the way I want. Let’s hope it lasts!

Five percent of the proceeds of every The ONDA Mama Box sale goes to your charity partner Every Mother Counts. Why is that an organization that is near and dear to your heart?

NW: Absolutely! All of the initiatives we have at ONDA are near and dear. We’re obviously very connected to the wellbeing of the environment, but other than that it’s our community and that stretches beyond our customer base, five percent of proceeds from the sale of the Mama Box is going to our charity partner Every Mother Counts (EMC). EMC’s mission is to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere.

What does an ideal day in the Hamptons look like?

NW: Being woken up by my dog, Izzy, although she likes a lie in just as much as I do. Smaller bladder though. And then I love getting breakfast on the table, which is usually followed by a predictable nagging yell to get the kids either off their devices or out of bed, what can I say, teens will be teens. I do like a slow start, but if I don’t get some exercise in it sits on me all day, so if I get that in before the kids wake up all the better. I like a busy house, kids’ friends over, mums over, sometimes my brother will pop by, snag some breakfast. Unstructured, gentle chaos is comfort to me – but somehow the best days always follow the same rhythm. And hopefully end with salty hair and not too much of a sunburn.

The ONDA Mama Box, which is available on ONDA Beauty’s website, is $298 (a $749 retail value).

ONDA Beauty is located at 42 Main Street in Sag Harbor. For more information, visit ondabeauty.com.

RE/DONE Coming To The Hamptons

RE/DONE Coming To The Hamptons

  • From Hollywood red carpets to Milan exhibits and Hamptons fashion shoots, Filbert Kung has photographed the world—but it’s his quiet, unguarded, and attentive nature that reveals the artist behind the lens.⁠ @filbert_kung 
⁠
I met Filbert Diego Kung at a Grey/Ven fashion event in Amagansett last summer. He’s one of those rare photographers who instantly puts you at ease—calm, composed, and naturally good at making anyone feel like they belong in front of his lens. Had I known then just how in-demand Filbert is in the fashion and photography world, I probably wouldn’t have asked him to snap a few shots of me goofing off on the red carpet. But maybe that makes me a model? Either way, it was my first glimpse of how effortlessly he captures people as they are. In my case, goofy-but-make-it-chic.⁠
⁠
Since then, I’ve seen him popping up around the Hamptons, often between flights to LA, Miami, or wherever the next big editorial or campaign takes him. Originally from the Philippines, Filbert has spent over fifteen years building a career that bridges Hollywood red carpets, high-fashion editorials, and fine art portraiture. ⁠

  • 30 Huntting Lane, East Hampton, NY 11937⁠
Saunders Exclusive: $7,250,000⁠
@romainehamptons 
@hamptonsrealestate 
⁠
⁠
At the bend of Huntting Lane in East Hampton Village, a remarkably restored Queen Anne Victorian—now offered for sale—stands as impressive as it is improbable.⁠
⁠
Built in 1896 by James Edward Huntting and held by his family for over a century, the estate is a masterclass in American craftsmanship—built to endure and beautifully restored. Graceful gables, revived millwork, and preserved character bridge Gilded Age ambition, Hamptons high society, and highlight the enduring power of community in the Village. ⁠
⁠
Here, history feels alive—not in signs of wear, but rather in the lack thereof, a testament to the care that has returned the home to its original glory. Every detail has been honored, presenting a rare historic gem ready for its next chapter.⁠

  • Every year at the Hamptons International Film Festival, there is a film that captures the local East End experience. This year, many believe that film is ON THE END, written and directed by Ari Selinger. In a half-hour Zoom call, Ari Selinger shared the story of how his debut writer-director indie-drama film came about.⁠
⁠
He said, “I was location scouting all over New York, and I found myself on Navy Road (Montauk) back in 2011 with my production designer friend. We were two 20-year-old film students (NYU) looking for a shoddy auto repair shop that we could use to shoot a film. There I met this guy, Tom, in front of his very dirty property. He was fixing a car. He came up to the window and not only told us about numerous people to talk to… he just knew all these names, and he just seemed to be a resource. He’d always be whispering in my ear about this thing he was going through with the town, about this battle, about him trying to keep his house. And it totally went over my head at the time. I did not know very much about zoning laws and property values, and maybe I was a little bit cavalier about it, but back in 2016, there was a big piece in the New York Times on his story.”⁠

  • Sag Harbor resident, actor, writer, and teacher Josh Pais has spent decades exploring what it means to be fully present—on screen and in life. Known for his roles in Joker, Ray Donovan, the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many others, he has more than 150 film and television credits to his name. He has now turned his focus inward with his new memoir, Lose Your Mind: The Path to Creative Invincibility, which was released on September 30, 2025.⁠
⁠
Drawing on his years of experience as founder of the Committed Impulse training method, Josh offers readers a bold invitation to release self-judgment, lean into all feelings, and connect with the spontaneous energy that fuels authentic creativity. His message—both playful and profound—challenges the myth of “good” and “bad” emotions and instead celebrates the full spectrum of human experience.⁠
⁠
Josh will visit Sag Harbor for a reading and book signing this Sunday, October 12th from 4:00–5:30 p.m. at Grenning Gallery (26 Main Street, Sag Harbor). ⁠
