Jurlique re-opens stores across Australia
Jurlique has now re-opened all of its 15 standalone stores across Australia for retail sales trade. Jurlique’s 12 Spa and Treatment spaces will be reopened nationally by June 9 2020, in line with the Australian Government’s timeframe regulations.
With the health, safety and wellbeing of staff and customers paramount, the brand has taken its lead from the Australian Government and has adapted its approach to retail accordingly. It has implemented strict hygiene practices to ensure a safe environment in store, which include:
- Social distancing measures and monitoring, including maximum customer limits in each store.
- Stickers identifying where customers must stand throughout each store.
- Multiple sanitisation stations in each store, including at entry.
- Cleaning and sanitising stores regularly, including EFTPOS machines, iPads and other high touch areas of the store.
- Removing all testers from the shelves.
- Only accepting contactless payments.
Jurlique’s marketing director, Siobhan Fildes, said of the changes: “Like all businesses locally and globally, we have had to act quickly and efficiently to adapt to the unknown, reviewing both our bricks and mortar and online service offerings to ensure we are providing our customers a range of options at the high level of service they expect from us at all times. We feel confident that now is the time to be re-opening our retail stores, but we want to remind customers they have many options, and can easily shop online with new onsite services, such as Live Chat and online skincare consultations."

Aussie skincare brand supports COVID-19 research
Hearing of RBWH Foundation’s research, led by consultant professor David Paterson to discover a viable treatment for COVID-19, Terri Vinson, cosmetic chemist, immunology graduate and founder of Synergie Skin, sought to innovate and support the research.
By swiftly switching up her business’ focus to the creation of a hospital grade hand and surface sanitiser spray at the beginning of the crisis, not only is she sharing some of the proceeds with RBWH Foundation, but also reassuring Australians by providing a product that can protect properly against COVID-19.
“Being an immunology graduate, I am dedicated to supporting Australian scientific research in disease control,” Vinson said. “The COVID-19 pandemic presents scientists with possibly the greatest challenge of our time. I am committed to pledging five per cent of all Synergie Skin Sanitiser Spray sales to the RBWH Foundation’s Coronavirus Action Fund for this important research."
RBWH Foundation CEO, Simone Garske, said it was commendable to see Australian companies joining the race against COVID-19. Donations to the RBWH Foundation’s Coronavirus Action Fund will ensure researchers can fast track vital healthcare projects.

LUSH re-opens retail stores
LUSH is delighted to announce it is re-opening its retail stores, following recent changes to alert levels regarding COVID-19.
"We are so pleased to be welcoming everyone back into our shops,” LUSH retail director, Claire Constantine, said. “Customers were familiar with our unique, award winning customer service, so we hope they will bear with us as we find new ways to serve them during these unusual, socially distanced times".
However, shopping with LUSH in-store will now be a little different, with the safety of the brand’s staff and customers being number one priority. Here are the changes:
- There will be a limit to how many people can be in stores at one time, so it may take staff a little longer to serve than usual.
- Most staff will be behind the counter, other than those on cleaning duties.
- All testers have been removed and there will be no product demos.
- There will be plenty of free warm water and soap for customers to wash their hands on arrival into the store, and before leaving if they wish.
- Staff are still eager and willing to help, and will do so from a safe distance.
- Customers can download the App, Lush Labs. The Lush Lens feature lets people scan products to see information and product demos.
- There are currently delays across LUSH’s delivery partner network, which means the Fresh Face Masks will not be sold in stores, until LUSH is confident they’ll arrive in store as fresh as possible.
