The new United Global First and United BusinessFirst amenity kits will be available on long-haul international flights to and from the United States. The premium, earth-tone kits will contain Cowshed's moisturising hand cream, Lippy Cow Natural Lip Balm and Chamomile Refreshing Towelette. United Global First kits will also offer Cowshed's Quinoa Hydrating Daily Moisturiser and Jasmine Toning Eye Balm.
In addition, the kits will contain a variety of other items, such as socks and an eye mask – both with signature designs – tissue, ear plugs, a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss.
Meanwhile, premium-cabin lavatories on dozens of aircraft in United's international fleet will also offer Cowshed products, including Chamomile Refreshing Toner and Lavender Gentle Cleanser.

Do a search and you will see Rimowa amenity kits are very popular on the LH, NH, and TG forum. (BR has one too) And they are being sold quite expensive on ebay.

Along with onboard availability, customers using United Club shower facilities at airports in Chicago, New York/Newark, Houston, Hong Kong, London and Tokyo, and travelers visiting the United Arrivals Lounge in San Francisco, may enjoy Cowshed's Cowlick Gentle Shampoo, Saucy Cow Softening Conditioner, Knackered Cow Relaxing Bath & Shower Gel and Knackered Cow Relaxing Body Lotion.
Cowshed's freshening hand wash and moisturising hand cream will also be available in those facilities and in United Global First lounges in Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., London, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
I had actually seen the Cowshed products in the shower in the VS Clubhouse in HKG, they are in big bottles, I do hope UA will come up with individual small bottles so that any leftover I can take it with me. Perhaps bring back a PMUA style shower kit as well ?

They're genuinely attractive. Thumbs up. I do hope the new GF kit folds out into a multi-level hanging toiletry bag the way the last one did, though. That was a clever design.

These look like a nice step up!
My favorite kits are still the Rimowa kits on NH and TG first class - to me they are so cool... A friend of mine owns one of the largest global companies that puts together these things for the suppliers / airlines - you would be amazed how cheap they are (only a few dollars cost each) - which always amazed me how little companies spend on their "best' customers (not a UA comment no flames please).

Amenity kits are part of the inflight package on airlines that can enhance the overall flying experience for the passenger, so in my opinion it is part of the puzzle on how one views a particular airline product.
