Jurlique introduces innovative new products

Jurlique has this week unveiled its latest additions, the Smoothing Body Exfoliating Gel and the Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Serum.

The body exfoliant is infused with hydrating rosa gallica flower extract, powerful botanicals and herbal antioxidants with walnut shell powder to lift away dead surface skin cells and impurities. Unique to Jurlique, its formula helps soothe the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and radiant.

Jurlique believes in giving back to the Earth more than it takes from it. Using Biodynamic farming methods, healthy, powerful plants, carefully chosen for their skin benefiting properties are farmed using this holistic approach. The Smoothing Body Exfoliating Gel uses a unique micellar cleansing blend of naturally derived plant-based surfactants and extracts from Jurlique’s farm grown yarrow, marjoram and nettle. When activated with water, this sulfate-free cleansing blend forms a luxurious lather to remove surface impurities, revealing freshly cleansed and soft skin.

Working in harmony with nature to produce botanicals that are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the hand-picked rosa gallica extract from the Jurlique farm helps to hydrate and soften skin and Jurlique’s exclusive Bio-Intrinsic™ blend of calendula, lavender, lemon balm, peppermint, horsetail, sage, neem, and witch hazel is used for its clarifying and soothing effects, revealing radiant glowing skin.

Meanwhile, the Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Serum, which joins Jurlique’s existing Herbal Recovery range, is a lightweight silky eye serum created with Jurlique’s signature blend of potent botanicals.

It is powered by yarrow extract, which is proven to help protect the skin from collagen breakdown, Japanese cedar bud extract to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Persian silk tree extract to help reduce the appearance of eye puffiness and dark circles and mica/titanium dioxide, which provides luminosity to the skin. 

This advanced natural formulation of potent botanicals and antioxidants has fundamental properties proven to protect the delicate eye area with the new Gel Technology absorbing quickly to immediately get to work on hydrating the skin cells around the eyes, actually improving the skin’s ability to hold on to moisture by firming and filling out the areas where fine lines start to appear to deliver smoother, younger-looking skin.

Arbonne launches new bakuchiol range

Arbonne is today launching a new skincare range called AgeWell, which is aimed at 30-55 year olds who are beginning to notice the signs of ageing.

This is exciting news for the brand, as the range is formulated with bakuchiol (nature's alternative to retinol), along with vitamin C and plant stem cells.

Retinol cannot be used in conjunction with vitamin C (along with a number of other unfortunate side effects, which is where bakuchiol comes into play).

The new Arbonne range features:

- AgeWell Silky Cleanser with Vegan Surfactants, RRP $70
- AgeWell Refreshing Toning Mist with Vitamin B3, RRP $61
- AgeWell Collagen Nurturing Serum with 2% Bakuchiol, RRP $100
- AgeWell Enrighing Eye Cream with Caffeine + Bakuchiol, RRP $95
- AgeWell Intense Repairing Night Cream with 2% Bakuchiol, RRP $135
- AgeWell Moisture Restoring Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 15, RRP $103

Bioderma celebrates 25 years of Sensibio H20

Bioderma is excited to be celebrating 25 years of the world’s first micellar water, Sensibio H20.

To celebrate, Bioderma has created the campaign #RespectYourSkin, as it believes the skin always deserves respect. This is why the brand has spent 25 years working for people with skin of all sensitivities and has encouraged them to respect their skin, building a trusted relationship with dermatologists, makeup artists and everyday people.

Inspired by the biology of the skin itself, NAOS Research invented the no-rinse cleansing and makeup removing product in France in 1995. Now 25 years later, a bottle of Bioderma Sensibio H20 sells every second globally.

Sensibio H20 is formulated with a one of a kind micellar technology that mimics the skin’s natural lipids, acting like magnets to capture impurities such as pollution and dirt to effectively cleanse the skin without needing to rinse-off, and remove makeup.

NAOS founder, pharmacist and biologist, Jean Noël Thorel, was inspired to create a rinse-free cleanser to combat the harsh French water and as such, invented Sensibio H20. The product’s unique formula contains patented active ingredients such as DAF™ patented complex that increases the skin’s tolerance and removes the potential for further irritation that can be caused by traditional rinse-off cleansers. Instead, Sensibio H20 is designed to soothe even the most sensitive skin and prevent inflammatory risks.

Beiersdorf announces new partnership

Today Beiersdorf Australia – manufacturer of NIVEA and Elastoplast products – has announced its official partnership with Foodbank Australia, the country’s largest food and grocery relief organisation.

In 2020, Beiersdorf Australia has donated hundreds of thousands of products to Foodbank Australia, locally driving its ‘Care Beyond Skin’ program. The most recent donation, just this month, is of over 50,000 personal care items, including hand sanitisers which will be distributed to those in need in Victoria.

Beiersdorf Australia managing director, Clynton Bartholomeusz, said, “For nearly 140 years, we at Beiersdorf have had ‘care’ at the heart of everything we do. Our purpose, Care Beyond Skin, not only expresses our passion for skincare, but it embodies our commitment to also caring for people and communities in need. That is why we are so pleased to become an official national donor with Foodbank Australia and support the important work they do.”

This is not the first time Beiersdorf and Foodbank have joined forces. During this year’s bushfire crisis, Beiersdorf donated thousands of products including Elastoplast essentials and NIVEA sun care.
