Conserving Beauty launches a world-first sheet mask

Following on from the launch of the world's first dissolving makeup wipes, Conserving Beauty has officially launched the world's first dissolving sheet masks via its website and in-store and online at MECCA.

The InstaMelt™ Skin Soothing Sheet Mask works to brighten, soothe and nourish, giving dull skin an instant healthy glow. 

Made from Conserving Beauty's revolutionary patented fabric technology that instantly dissolves in water after use, leaving behind no microplastics, each mask is infused with eight potent ingredients to soothe, balance and hydrate skin. It's also formulated without water which means all that goodness is delivered straight to your skin with zero dilution. 

The masks also biodegrade completely within 14 days if they're not dissolved, and each mask is packed in recyclable sachets and 100% recycled post-consumer waste cartons. 

The InstaMelt™ Skin Soothing Sheet Mask retails for $15 each or $42 for a box of three.

Now, May has teamed up with cult British beauty brand, Ciaté London to create his own signature ‘Curated By’ edit of Ciaté’s must-have essentials – allowing you to create your own versions of his sun-kissed looks.

The Secret shares exciting brand news

Leaders in luxury prescription skincare, The Secret, is excited to share it will become the first prescription brand to launch refillable packaging. 

Developed by doctors, Clara Hurst and Deb Cohen-Jones in late 2019, The Secret is Australia’s first prescription skincare company, and its growth can be attributed to the efficacy of its formulations, which are made to tackle some of the toughest recurring skin issues like acne, pigmentation, melasma and ageing. 

The launch of the refillable range brings a new look to The Secret’s packaging and ensures it leads the way in tackling issues of sustainability in the beauty industry.

"Our commitment to reinvent the prescription skincare space with accessibility and simplicity for the everyday individual also translates to our new packaging where the process to receive and refill it is simple too,” said co-founder, Dr Deb Cohen-Jones.

"It’s essential to us that the footprint we leave behind is a positive one, not only on the skin of our patients but on the planet, sustainability remains one of our core values and we’re proud to offer our patients a solution that minimises product wastage and usage confusion while providing optimum skin health results."

All packaging at The Secret is reusable, recyclable or biodegradable and waste continues to be minimised with products that are not only made to order but are longer lasting because of improved sizing and airless dosage dispensing, so they remain active for the optimum time frame. 

While the outer vessels housing the refillable pod have been designed to keep, they can also be recycled. The refill pod is also fully recyclable and can be sent back to The Secret (six pods, results in one free product), or recycled at home or at a TerraCycle location.

The Secret Refillable Range launched June 17, 2022 nationally via www.thesecretskincare.com.

Daily Naturals undergoes complete re-brand

Daily Naturals, the iconic Australian hair care brand, has stepped into clean beauty with a bold new look and range of products.

The younger sister to the beloved South Australian brand, Davroe, Daily Naturals was created in direct response to repeated requests from pharmacies and consumers, desperate to access Davroe’s products outside of salons, and has ensured that reliable, salon professional hair care remains attainable to all consumers.

The rebranded line remains true to Daily Naturals’ ethos of vegan, cruelty-free, sulphate-free and paraben-free hair care.

Now, Daily Naturals takes the natural step into the clean beauty space, carefully formulating with a selection of curated ingredients, and without ingredients consumers may be looking to avoid, such as silicones, mineral oil, phthalates and more. The 17 products are delivered in luxe, recyclable packaging, embodying a range that looks as good as it feels.

Still infused with Australian native extracts, and still promising high performance products, the re-launch ensures Australian hair care lovers can access the luscious, salon-quality products they known and love - with added benefits.

Hive HQ now also looks after Daily Naturals. For more information, reach out to hello@publicityhive.com.

GLASSHOUSE FRAGRANCES celebrates 15 years

GLASSHOUSE FRAGRANCES is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and in honour of this momentous occasion, the brand has released a special limited-edition candle.

The addition, A Tahaa Affair Devotion candle, has been developed with none-other than the brand's iconic Tahaa scent – a cult classic with GLASSHOUSE fans all around the world. Product details can be found here.

To celebrate the milestone, we spoke with founder, Nicole Eckels about what this means to the brand, and the iconic scent that started it all.

What does this milestone mean to the brand? 

This has been a big year for the brand and for me personally, experiencing an idea I had 15 years ago and watching it grow into a now international business. This milestone is a testament to our community and our Glasshouse Fragrances family. It’s a privilege to have been welcomed into the homes of so many Australians over the last 15 years. It’s also a responsibility because I want to make sure that we continue to use creativity and talent to bring joy to our customers.

Tahaa has become an iconic fragrance for the brand - has its popularity surprised you in any way? 

If you had told me all those years ago when I was developing this fragrance that we’d sell one Tahaa product every 1 minute in Australia, I wouldn’t have believed you! But from the moment we created this fragrance people had a connection to it, people were drawn to the nostalgia it embodied. Once you hit that emotional connection and people witness the transformative power fragrance can have, it’s magic.

There are very passionate Tahaa fans out there - do you have any stories that come to mind that customers have shared? 

I felt a huge sense of responsibility launching A Tahaa Affair Devotion, because it is so beloved by Australians. Not long after it launched I received a beautiful message from a young man explaining how GLASSHOUSE FRAGRANCES has been a huge influence in making him feel more comfortable in his journey coming out. He explained he was sceptical about trying the new interpretation of A Tahaa Affair, but all doubt disappeared once he smelt it. He explained it's all about reminding yourself to find the beauty in simple pleasures. I loved that.  

Tahaa moved into the personal fragrance range last year as an eau de parfum – are there any other plans for the scent in the future?

We know our fans are addicted to Tahaa so we have some exciting new formats coming up later this year… stay tuned!
