The 10 brands taking care of business

While flaws are natural, there are a few we’d love to not have to deal with. This is especially true if they fall into the beauty and grooming category.

BD has rounded up the brands taking care of business when it comes to cosmetic concerns.


The transition from winter to summer is marked by the colour (or lack) of your tan. When that winter sunshine does come out to play, you have to make the most of it. Zassni has an organic multi-tasking balm to speed up the process. The carrot-infused product is formulated with vitamin-rich botanicals to enhance your golden glow.


Itch and irritation downstairs may not be the most enticing of topics but it’s an important one. Vagisil focuses on women’s health and hygiene, developing products alongside gynaecologists to help to alleviate vaginal conditions (as well as maintain optimum health) quickly and comfortably.


Cellulite may be common amongst women, but that doesn’t mean we like it. Hypoxi is here to help. Its machines, based on vacuum technology, are scientifically proven to be significantly more effective than conventional training for targeted fat loss, and the brand incorporates exercise as a part of its sessions. Users can expect firmer, smoother skin after use.


Skin conditions are no fun, and the winter chill tends to exacerbate them. Sudocrem works to treat these issues - its triple-action emollient cream helps to soothe nappy rash and minor skin complaints such as eczema and burns.


Cold sores are an unfortunate (and obvious) side effect of low immunity. That’s where Melbourne brand Fixalip comes in: the formula blends various alcohols to tackle the cold sore virus head on, relieving symptoms and preventing them from returning.


While the eyes are the window to the soul, they’re also one of the first areas to show the signs of ageing. Wonderstripes counteracts droopy, hooded eyelids with its range of tapes that work simply (and painlessly) to keep the skin around the eye area taut and youthful.


Bio Sculpture is a power player in nail care. The brand offers a range of products that not only keep nails neat, but also enhance the condition of the nail bed. Made with polyurethane, the brand’s gel polish is a non-toxic alternative to traditional nail colours, protecting your fingertips from unnecessary damage.


Just as our mind is weary at the end of a busy day, so too are our muscles. Ward off stiffness with a muscle soak, such as the kind Radox specialises in. The formula contains a handful of herbs and minerals to revitalise and relax the mind and body.


Clocking a full eight-hour sleep is rare, leaving our eyes rather red in the morning. Murine has created products that help to alleviate sore, red eyes, catering to individuals’ preferences with eye drops and wipes.


Iron deficiency is widespread, and Fab Iron is a supplement that gives users the chance to meet their daily iron needs. The low dose iron supplement also incorporates B group vitamins to boost energy, and utilises an organic iron which is gentle on the digestive system.
