ELEVEN Australia’s hero treatment gets fresh new look
ELEVEN Australia has partnered with emerging collage artist, Maximillian Malone, for a series of prints. The Melbourne-based collage master has created three pieces named WARMTH, ENERGY and LIGHT, and has wrapped them around a supersized, limited-edition version of ELEVEN’s holy grail hair product, MIRACLE HAIR TREATMENT.
Implementing his signature vibrant, high contrast and highly saturated cut-out visuals, each print is made up of individually ‘cut and pasted’ sections of existing art, upcycled to create magical new one-off pieces.
Originally housed in a 125mL bottle, MIRACLE HAIR TREATMENT has been beautifully designed into a limited-edition 175mL bottle for the collaboration. This treatment is the ultimate hair prep product that delivers eleven nourishing benefits to tame flyaways and protect hair from the elements. It is formulated with native Australian desert lime, wattle seed and desert peach to keep hair strong and silky smooth.
“The inspiration behind the collaboration with ELEVEN Australia came from wanting to create something intriguing and positive and when I thought about the type of pieces I wanted to bring to life, I was flooded with inspiration from ENERGY, WARMTH and LIGHT,” Malone said. “It was an exciting challenge to create three different collages, that still felt cohesive and part of a family and I really feel these three elements work beautifully together."
ELEVEN Australia X Maximillian Malone Miracle Hair Treatment Collection will be available in salons nationally from September for $29.95 each.

Herbal Essences fights to save endangered plants
Known for delivering plant power in every shower, Herbal Essences has announced its partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank.
Off the back of a devastating bushfire season, which saw Australian ecosystems fall under threat, Herbal Essences has joined forces with the world’s leading botanical institution to protect 20 plant species this year. With over 1,000 native species now in danger of becoming extinct, Kew and Herbal Essences have made it their mission to collect and protect native seeds in Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank, the largest and most diverse in the world.
Not only does the #Save20in2020 initiative aim to protect endangered plants, but it also raises awareness of the global threat to plant biodiversity. It will help safeguard 20 threatened wild plant species across Australia and New Zealand from extinction, including Thelymitrinae, Rutaceae and Verticordia Nitens.

L'OCCITANE commit to help plant 1 million trees around Australia
As part of its global commitment to help regenerate Australia post bushfires, iconic French beauty brand, L’OCCITANE Australia has partnered with the charity partner for Australia’s National Parks, the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW), to restore natural habitats, native vegetation and support wildlife rehabilitation efforts across Australia.
Funded by the L’OCCITANE Ecosystem Restoration Fund created in early 2020 by the L’OCCITANE Group to support ecosystems that are severely affected by natural disasters such as the devastating fires in Australia, $228,000* will be donated to FNPW as part of an initial two-year commitment. These funds will be dedicated to planting seedlings in bushfire recovery nurseries in affected areas around Australia; with the goal to plant one million trees over the next five years.
This announcement comes just in time for National Tree Day on Sunday August 2, which calls for all Australians to give back to their community by planting trees and shrubs to improve the natural environment.
“Having first arrived in Australia just 6 months before the bushfires, I was saddened by the devastation they caused to the landscapes, wildlife and communities around the country. As a brand originated from nature and the use of botanical ingredients, it has long been a commitment of ours to respect and support biodiversity and so we are thrilled to be able to support the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife in its mission of planting one million trees around Australia," said L’OCCITANE Australia managing director, Pierre-Emmanuel Joffre.
*This amount is based on current exchange rates of a set €75,000 per annum donation over the two-year commitment from the L’OCCITANE group. The $AUD amount is subject to variance based on the exchange rate at the time of donation.
Kosmea wins big
Kosmea is excited to announce that it has won an award in the 2020 FreeFrom Skincare Awards.
Kosmea's Nourishing Treatment Cream won the bronze in Category 15, Problem Skin.

Less is More introduces improved formula
Less is More is excited to announce all of its shampoos now have a new, ecologically improved formulation.
The shampoos have been reformulated with sodium coco-sulfate, instead of sodium lauryl sulfoacetate. In addition, the brand has co-formulated a completely new surfactant, cocoyl methyl glucamide, which is extremely mild, gentle and caring.
Pea protein has also been added, which is a plant-based protein that is very similar to hair keratin. It helps to improve hair damage and has a great repairing effect. Furthermore, the use of a natural lipid/oil complex ensures that the hair structure is sealed, as well as giving shine and smoothness without weighing down the hair.
As a result, the shampoos now have an improved cleaning effect, but they remain as mild and caring as before. They also require even less product, and have more foam for more wellbeing when washing the hair.
