SunSense partners with Melanoma Institute Australia in new campaign

SunSense sunscreen is proud to once again support Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) via the $1 Donation Campaign 2021. The support from its partnership with SunSense allows the MIA team to continue their important work for all Australians - wherever they live.

The campaign will see SunSense donate $1 from every SunSense product sold in Australian pharmacies to MIA, until February 28, 2022.

Funds raised during the $1 Donation Campaign will go towards MIA’s world-class research and treatment facility, which is dedicated to preventing and curing melanoma, through treatment, research and education.

According to research, Australia has the highest rates of melanoma in the world, with over 16,000 people being diagnosed with melanoma this year. Melanoma is the second most common cancer for men and third most common cancer for women, so it is not surprising that these cases are not only on Australia’s coastal fringes, with rural melanoma rates also high.

The usual barriers exist for rural patients to access healthcare for the diagnosis and treatment of their melanomas, such as the tyranny of distance and less specialists available in rural areas. But Dermatologist Dr. Michelle McRae from Pinnacle Dermatology in the NSW Central West, says there are often overlooked barriers to patients being able to receive dermatological healthcare.

KMS celebrates 25 years of cult product

KMS HAIRPLAY Molding Paste is celebrating its 25th birthday with the cult product turning a quarter of a century this month.

KMS HAIRPLAY Molding Paste was one of the first pastes of its kind on the market when it launched in 1996 and has been the best-selling KMS product globally to this day.

Ali Holmes, Co-Owner of Wildlife Hair SOGO in Surry Hills says KMS HAIRPLAY Molding Paste is one of her salon staples and the go-to product she can rely on for its fabulous versatility.

“I’ve used KMS HAIRPLAY Molding Paste for the last 20 years. Its amazing pliability means you can use KMS HAIRPLAY Molding Paste on short and sharp styles to long and curly hair. This makes it an absolute hero product in the salon and in my kit.”

“[But] My favorite way to use it is on curly hair. The curl definition you get is just amazing. I love that this is its secret identity, as it’s not what this product is known for.”

Known for his men’s styling expertise, Chris Hunter Co-Owner of Woollahra salon, Willomina agrees.

“I’ve been using KMS HAIRPLAY Molding Paste for years. It gives great texture, has amazing pliability and can be used on both wet and dry hair.”
