Synergie Skin founder announces new brand

Renowned biological scientist, biohacker and founder of Synergie Skin, Terri Vinson Jones has announced the launch of SynTernals, a new premium supplement brand set to make waves.

The brand launches with its first product, NRgize+ an NAD+ booster supplement crafted to enhance your healthspan and invigorate the body's cell vitality.

Modern life throws a lot at our cells: environmental toxins, chronic stress, and nutrient deficiencies. These challenges can take a toll, and one of the ways they show their impact is through declining levels of NAD+.

NAD+ is a fundamental molecule in our bodies. It acts like a cellular fuel cell, powering essential processes like energy production and repair. SynTernals developed NRgize+ to address this root cause. By targeting NAD+ levels, NRgize+ aims to combat the cellular damage caused by modern life's challenges.

SynTernals stands apart in the market for its commitment to high-quality, rigorously tested, evidence-based supplements. As a product that is 100% Australian-made, AUST-L listed (TGA approved), and founded on robust scientific principles, NRgize+ represents the pinnacle of their expertise in nutritional science. 

"Cellular health is the key to whole-body health and vitality. When individual cells are healthy, so too are our organs and systems. I created NRgize+ to offer an innovative combination of ingredients that optimise cellular health- span from the inside out," said Terri. 

NRgize+ is now available for $89 AUD and is available at www.synergieskin.com/synternals.

NIVEA announces fundraising campaign for Look Good Feel Better

For Australians undergoing cancer treatment, a few minutes each day dedicated to looking good goes a long way to helping them feel better.

Skincare and beauty brand, NIVEA, is a big believer of the power of self-care, and is kicking off its fundraising campaign for long-standing partner and cancer support charity Look Good Feel Better (LGFB). A global not-for-profit initiative, run by The Cancer Patients Foundation in Australia, LGFB works closely with cancer patients, providing non-medical support on a range of topics, from skincare to fitness to mental wellbeing.

As part of the fundraising campaign, 10 cents from every NIVEA product sold across key Australian retailers between 1 May and 30 July will be donated directly to LGFB. With AUD$150,000 as the target, the funds raised will support the provision of LGFB’s workshops and Confidence Kits. 

A core part of LGFB’s service, the workshops are designed to empower men and women by equipping them with skills and products to help them feel more confident while facing the challenges of cancer treatment. 

Workshop topics range from skincare advice, make-up tips, scarf styling, wig selection and care, fitness, mobility and mental wellbeing and are run by volunteer experts. Participants of these workshops also receive a complimentary Confidence Kit, full of cosmetic and, skincare, products and written resources sponsored by community and corporate partners like NIVEA. 

NIVEA Managing Director of Beiersdorf Australia and New Zealand Clynton Bartholomeusz said, "As a skincare brand built on the ethos of ‘CARE BEYOND SKIN’, we have a responsibility to make a positive impact in the communities we operate in. This very much informs the charities we work with and Look Good Feel Better’s commitment to empowering cancer patients with confidence through self-care continues to resonate strongly with us."

"For this year, our goal is to utilise NIVEA’s brand platform and nationwide presence in stores to raise $150,000 which will go to the running of over 150 workshops for 1,500 cancer patients. We hope fellow Aussies can join us in this meaningful campaign and also support the charity in any way they can."
