10 brands supporting our New Year’s resolutions

The strike of midnight on December 31 not only heralds the dawn of a new year, but often a list of resolutions to undertake as soon as the partying is done. The following brands support the beauty and health goals that typically find their way onto our list of good intentions for the New Year:


Helping to shift those extra Christmas kilos fast is HYPOXI. Developed in the 1990s by sports scientist Dr. Norbert Egger, the vacuum technology focuses on targeted weight loss. The fat reduction treatment is the only one on the market to incorporate weight loss into the session, with users typically losing 20-30 cm from their hips, stomach, buttocks and thighs, as well as reduced cellulite.


Weight management is at the heart of the Be Good To Yourself brand, which produces a range of shakes and bars. Developed in association with healthcare professionals, the products incorporate vitamins, minerals and nutrients into their recipes to boost health, as well as assist in sustaining or increasing weight loss.


If brightening your smile is at the top of the resolutions list, Opalescence has you covered. For the past twenty years, the brand has been a leader in the teeth whitening market, working alongside dentists and patients to deliver a full line of product options. Currently the brand offers both stronger treatments for dental clinics, as well as take-home options.


Hydralyte is Australia’s leading rehydration brand. While typically considered a hangover crusader, the brand’s products can assist in treating dehydration resulting from illness to pregnancy, extreme heat, sports and travel. Available in a slew of flavours and different formats (from tablets to drinks), Hydralyte is hypotonic and specifically formulated in line with the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) guidelines for Oral Rehydration Therapy.


Boosting health and wellbeing levels, BioSource is a range of vitamins and nutritional supplements. Formed by pharmacists, the line covers everything from fish oil to spirulina, and is created from clinically-researched and naturally-based ingredients.


Dental makeovers are the specialty of Edelweiss. The brand crafts innovative composite veneers that provide consumers with a natural-looking, healthy way to enhance their smiles. Edelweiss are administered by dentists, who fashion the enamel-like surface in a way that allow dentists to keep the natural tooth structure intact.


For some people, cold sores are a never-ending burden to bare. Banish them for good next year with the help of Zovirax® - a clinically-proven antiviral cream. A unique MAC-P formula is integrated into the cream to target the site of infection immediately and stop it from spreading.


Beauty Essentials quite literally has any and every beauty-related goal covered for the New Year with its extensive range of products and tools. The brand creates everything from blackhead removers and facial cleansing brushes to foundation sponges.


Those who suffer from joint pain will find solace with Rose-Hip Vital® with GOPO® - a clinically-proven plant-based natural anti-inflammatory. The product is additionally a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants. Crafted from 100 per cent rosehip powder, the product helps to temporarily relieve the pain and symptoms of conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatism.


SAVVY is a key destination for beefing up any cosmetic collection. The brand of everyday make-up essentials - from brushes to foundations and liners - has been specially designed to suit a huge range of consumers, whilst remaining largely around the $10 price mark.
