Aveda announces new initiative

Aveda has just activated a new solar array, which will provide 50 per cent of its manufacturing facility’s annual demand for energy, help furthering commitment to renewable energy.

This is an exciting step in the brand's corporate social responsibility initiatives, as it works toward its vision of being a renewable energy generator.

“We are proud to be able to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability through the use of renewable energy via our new solar array,” said Aveda SVP and global general manager, Barbara De Laere. 

“Aveda has pioneered the use of renewable energy since 2006, when we became the first beauty company to manufacture using 100 per cent wind power (through the purchase of energy credits). Now, our new 2,900 panel solar array will power up to 50 per cent of our manufacturing facility’s annual demand for energy, with the remainder powered by wind. With the launch of this array, we are one step closer to our goal of becoming a carbon-positive manufacturer, one of the many sustainability goals we have set for the next decade.”

Inspired by Ayurveda, the 5,000 year-old healing art of India, Aveda was founded in 1978 in Minneapolis, Minnesota with the purpose of caring for the whole individual from Scalp to Soul. The eco-conscious beauty brand is just as committed to creating high-performing products as to upholding its guiding principles of wellness, sustainability and environmental awareness.

Coca-Cola launches beauty range

Morphe is teaming up with The Coca-Cola Company to offer an iconic collection of makeup for eyes, lips, and face in collectible packaging.

Although Morphe is well known for its collabs with beauty influencers such as Jeffree Star, James Charles and Jaclyn Hill, this is its first-ever collaboration with iconic brand, Coca-Cola.

Many of the shade names and shapes used in both the products and the product packaging are a nod to Coca-Cola’s iconic branding. The Thirst For Life Artistry Palette, in particular, was inspired by the full experience of drinking a Coca-Cola - from the green glass of the bottle, to the blues of ice, to the colours of the actual liquid beverage.

The collection includes: 

THIRST FOR LIFE Artistry Palette, $32; LIP IN THE MOMENT 4-Piece Lip Collection, $29; SWEEP IT REAL 7-Piece Eye & Highlighter Brush Collection + Bag, $36; GLOWING PLACES Loose Highlighters, $22; and THE QUENCH PACK 4-Piece Beauty Sponge Collection, $22.00.

Available for a limited time only beginning June 18 on Morphe.com. 

L’Oréal Australia teams up with The Pinnacle Foundation

The concept of being held back simply because of who you are is an unfair reality for many within the LGBTIQ+ community, and one that The Pinnacle Foundation seeks to change.

L'Oréal Australia echoes Pinnacle’s vision for a more diverse and inclusive society with visible LGBTIQ+ role models, and as such have become a gold corporate sponsor, providing a national multi-year scholarship for a young LGBTIQ+ Australian, to help them reach their full potential and overcome challenges arising from their identity. The successful scholar will be able to use the funding over the next three years, to achieve educational or vocational qualifications in any profession, trade or the arts. 

This partnership comes at a critical time, as many within the LGBTIQ+ community have faced considerable hardship as a consequence of COVID-19. Many young Pinnacle scholars are emotionally and financially separated from their families, an all too familiar story in the LGBTIQ+ community.

“We understand that the LGBTIQ+ community can be particularly vulnerable to isolation beyond what is experienced during this time, so with these exacerbated circumstances L'Oréal Australia wanted to ensure they could provide an ongoing commitment of support for an individual that may be experiencing particular hardship or vulnerability," said L'Oréal Australia & New Zealand managing director, Rodrigo Pizarro.

L’Oréal donates over 300,000 products to healthcare workers

Last week, L’Oréal Australia was proud to donate over 300,000 products to 40,000 healthcare workers.

The company heard from many healthcare workers that they were suffering from irritated skin and hair conditions due to the amount of PPE they were wearing. In fact, often nurses working in a COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit have one mask or one hair cover, to be used again and again. Therefore, the gifted products were tailored to ensure each care pack included key products that met some of their specific beauty needs.

“This gift is a small token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the frontline staff, for their dedication, hard work and expertise during this time,” L’Oréal Australia & New Zealand managing director, Rodrigo Pizarro, said. “Today we are all facing unique circumstances, and through our #ActsOfKindness campaign we hope to remind everyone that we are all in this together.”

Partnering with the Health Workers Union and Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation across the state, these care packs reached frontline healthcare workers from Public and Private Hospitals, Aged Care, Disability, Community and Aboriginal Health facilities. L’Oréal also worked with its long standing partner and social enterprise, Waverley Industries, who offer supported employment opportunities for people living with special needs, to pack and distribute the 40,000 care packs.

Biologi launches first of its kind cleanser

Biologi is excited to announce it has launched a world-first, 100% active, natural cleanser that harnesses the untouched power of soapberry extract to gently wash away dirt, pollutants, and impurities from the skin’s surface.

Bursting with nourishing actives, Biologi Bc Refresh Cleanser honours the brand’s promise to provide only high-quality, single-plant ingredients sourced directly from nature.

“Through extensive research and trials, we discovered a potent extract that works as a cleanser without the use of synthetic activating agents and harmful surfactants, “ Biologi founder and cosmetic chemist, Ross Macdougal, said. “Our revolutionary extraction method has now allowed us to bottle this for consumer use. Biologi’s Bc Refresh Cleanser is free from synthetic foaming agents that can traditionally strip pores and leave the skin feeling tight. Instead, the revolutionary cleanser relies on the non-irritating, single-plant ingredient of soapberry extract to gently purify even the most problematic of skin types.”

The Body Shop joins forces with WWF to support bushfire recovery efforts

The Body Shop has partnered with WWF Australia to support its work restoring and protecting the forest homes our koalas and other Aussie wildlife lost during the devastating 2019-20 bushfires. 

Over 12 million hectares of forest and bushland were burnt in the fires, and we lost an estimated 1.25 billion animals, whilst many of the wildlife that did survive were left with no food, water or shelter.

This week, The Body Shop has released the special edition WWF Koala Headband. For each headband sold, The Body Shop will donate $5 to WWF’s Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund.

The fund aims to support impacted species and restore habitat by saving and growing two billion trees by 2030, creating safe corridors for koalas, and helping to implement Indigenous and rural fire management. 

The Body Shop x WWF Koala Headband retails for $12 and can be found here.
