Bioderma launches Saving Skin & More campaign
Atopic skin conditions tend to flare up during winter, as cold conditions, central heating and warm clothing materials such as wool exacerbate dry and irritated skin – which is where BIODERMA's new Atoderm range comes into play.
However, BIODERMA is on a mission that goes beyond skin – it wants to provide effective help for people with atopic skin conditions and bring them concrete, long-term solutions. In particular, all parents confronted with their child's atopic dermatitis know how their child's level of discomfort can impact the whole family.
As part of BIODERMA's Saving Skin & More campaign, the brand is utilising sampling, social media, digital, training tools and partnerships. It is also collaborating with influencers who have, or whose children have, suffered from very dry to atopic skin. These include Emma Hawkins, Rozalia Russian and Milly Johnson.

Matty J becomes the new face of Swisse
Swisse Wellness has announced former Bachelor star Matty "J” Johnson as the face of its new Swisse Men’s Skincare Range. Combining nature and science, this new offer contains naturally derived ingredients packed with antioxidants and vitamins, specifically designed to support male skin.
The range is made up of four new products: Swisse Body Wash, Swisse Daily Face Moisturiser, Swisse Deep Face Scrub and Swisse Charcoal Face Wash. Just like all Swisse Beauty products, Swisse Skincare For Men is naturally derived and free from toxic ingredients that may harm the body and environment.
“I’ve been a huge fan of Swisse for a long time and jumped at the opportunity to be the face of the new Swisse Men’s Skincare Range,” Matty J said. “I definitely wouldn't call myself a wellness guru but I've always tried to have a holistic approach to health – looking at how exercise, state of mind and nutrition all play an important role in our overall wellbeing. I'm really excited to be joining forces with a brand that shares these values.
A lot of guys neglect their skin – we look after our hair, teeth and body odour before we even think about buying something for our face. For me, I think it's because I had the assumption that it was too difficult and something that a guy doesn't need to worry about. Now that I'm a little older (and wiser) I know how important it is to give it the attention it deserves.”
The former Bachelor star joins partner Laura Byrne, who is part of the Swisse Beauty Squad, representing the brand’s recently relaunched Swisse Beauty skincare range.

L’Oréal Australia presents expert panel
On Tuesday July 14, L’Oréal Australia was proud to host an expert panel to discuss and highlight the critical need for action around climate change. Global warming, a loss of biodiversity, water scarcity and a depletion in air quality are just some of the effects that are already being felt around the globe.
The Respecting our Planetary Boundaries expert panel was hosted by writer, broadcaster and War on Waste presenter Craig Reucassel and brought together leading experts from government, business and advocacy to discuss some of the greatest threats currently facing our natural environment. “It would be great to see more businesses trying to assess and reduce their footprint. We are approaching a tipping point and need action from all parts of society,” said Reucassel.
The panel included the former Foreign Minister and Chancellor of ANU, Honourable Julie Bishop; science communicator and presenter, Laura Wells; founders, SIPP INSTANT, Dylan Garft and Luke Zocchi; and managing director, Natixis Investment Managers, Louise Watson, who explored topics such as what the private and public sectors are doing to create positive change and new approaches for our economy, such as impact investment funds to generate environmental and societal returns.
The live-streamed event provided over 2,500 viewers, for an average watch time of 22 minutes, with the opportunity to learn how government and businesses are embracing innovative ideas to shape a more sustainable future and to be inspired by new approaches to sustainable development both in Australia and abroad. You can watch the replay of the panel event at lorealforthefuture.com.
Respecting our Planetary Boundaries was presented by L'Oréal Australia as part of its L'Oréal for the Future sustainability program. Under this program, the company has committed to a number of significant sustainability priorities to be realised by 2030, which you can read about further here.
“Sustainability remains a key priority for L’Oréal, and even in the midst of a global pandemic with much uncertainty around the economic and social consequences going forward, our commitment to sustainability will not change. We are committed to the environment, to social inclusion and to adapting our business as necessary to be the most ethical business we can,” said L’Oréal Australia communications director, Christine Burke.

Skin Republic goes biodegradable
Skin Republic has recently overhauled its entire range with a new biodegradable eco mask that is fully biodegradable – packaging and all. While still drenched in the same award-winning formulations, the new biodegradable masks take 10 days or less to biodegrade, while the packaging takes 32 days to biodegrade. For context, a head of lettuce can take up to 25 years to biodegrade.
The regular white Skin Republic masks have had a fabric update, instead of cotton spunlace they are now made of a biodegradable eco mask fabric called cupra.
“Sustainability and environmental issues are incredibly important to us at Skin Republic," said Skin Republic director, Samantha Wilson. “We feel it is the responsibility of brands to continually evolve as new technology and research becomes available allowing us to become more sustainable. We are committed to creating products in the most ethical way possible, by protecting the rights of animals and reducing our impact on the environment without compromising on quality and innovation. Skin care should be fun, exciting and provide real results, but not at the expense of the environment.”
Skin Republic masks are available at Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, Coles, Woolworths, Big W and selected Pharmacies, Australia wide.

Sensori+ launches new Hand Immune Booster range
Designed to boost the overall skin wellness of your hands the Sensori+ Hand Immune Booster is infused with plant derived keratin, multivitamins and probiotic kombucha to boost your skin’s defense system and protect it against environmental aggressors.
The skin barrier can be weakened by the polluted environment, stress from urban lifestyle or even frequently washing and sanitising the hands. Our hands are where the skin immunity needs to be the strongest, as they touch hundreds of items everyday. A strong barrier enhances the invulnerability to inflammation and damage and ultimately can assist in blocking the entry of environmental aggressors through the hands.
Using the right hand cream consistently will also boost your skin’s moisture levels, improve the skin barrier function and its elasticity and help combat the signs of premature ageing.

Jurlique reintroduces Moisturising Hand Sanitizer
From July 12, Jurlique Moisturising Hand Sanitizer will be available to Australian consumers in store and online for a limited time.
Hand Sanitizer was originally launched by Jurlique in 2011, and was discontinued in 2017. But now, what was once regarded as a non-essential part of a hand care regime is a must-have step to ensure a person’s personal hygiene remains optimum.
Now with a new formulation, Jurlique’s Moisturising Hand Sanitizer uses blends of botanicals known for their cleansing and purifying properties hand-picked at Jurlique’s Biodynamic South Australian Farm including: Mentha piperita (peppermint), Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) leaf, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower, origanum majorana (marjoram), rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf, salvia officinalis (sage) leaf, urtica dioica (nettle), and achillea millefolium (yarrow) calendula officinalis flower.
For best results, Jurlique recommends incorporating the Moisturising Hand Sanitizer as the final step of a three-step hand care ritual, by first washing with a gentle Jurlique Hand Wash, followed by a nourishing Jurlique Hand Lotion or Cream.
The Body Shop announces new campaign to end period poverty in New Zealand
This August, The Body Shop will be launching a New Zealand wide campaign in partnership with Wá Collective to help bring an end to period poverty in the country.
The New Zealand Government has also begun to tackle this problem by allocating funds towards providing free period products in a selection of schools in the Waikato as a starting point. However, this is just scratching the surface and the products available are only tampons and pads.
On behalf of Wá, The Body Shop wants to raise funds to provide free period cups to people and schools in need through Women’s Health Collectives and contacts that Wá have established (with more pending).
The benefits of period cups are endless but two main reasons The Body Shop believes in this cause is the opportunity to save the individual a massive amount of money, as a cup has a life span of 10 years. And the environmental impact of saving a considerable number of tampons and pads from heading straight to landfill.
Donate at any of The Body Shop stores nationwide or via www.thebodyshop.co.nz. Buy products from Wā Collective, use code BODYSHOP for free shipping on the Wā Collective website.
Learn more and make your pledge: www.wacollective.org.nz and www.thebodyshop.co.nz.

The Clorox Company stops advertising spend with Facebook
The Clorox Company will stop advertising spending with Facebook through to December.
"As a people-centred company committed to our values, we feel compelled to take action against hate speech, which we believe will increase through the balance of the year. This creates an increasingly unhealthy environment for people and our purpose-driven brands," the company said in a statement.
"We will maintain our planned level of advertising spending but shift to other media. We will continue to monitor this situation and revisit our position as needed."
"In the meantime, we will evolve our standards and guidelines for progress for all platforms and publishers to reflect our rising expectations for greater responsibility as these channels continue to become a more important part of people’s lives."
