Saya Skin turns 13
Australian brand, Saya Skin, is celebrating its 13th birthday this month.
Having suffered through many years of eczema and breakouts, Noosa local, Saya McDermott, sought skincare that would deliver results. She was discouraged by the lack of diversity in the market and the absence of natural, quality ingredients. After much research and study, she started formulating her own products, in her kitchen, and Saya Skincare came to life.
Today Saya Skin has expanded into a warehouse and office with an amazing all women team. The range is stocked across the world, helping women and men achieve their skin goals, using purely plant-based, natural ingredients.
"We've grown big, and fast, but we're still able to maintain our company values of providing a premium, accessible product, that is plant-based, certified organic and Australian-Made," said Saya Skin.

Sunday Riley formally banned from leaving fake reviews
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has formally banned skincare brand, Sunday Riley, from leaving fake online reviews.
The ban comes after a whistleblower, who claimed to be a former Sunday Riley employee, leaked what appeared to be an internal company email thread on Reddit back in 2018. The email reportedly asked employees to "write at least three reviews" of two Sunday Riley products on Sephora.com.
According to the FTC complaint, they said it included step-by-step instructions on how team members should hide their IP addresses so that the faux reviews wouldn't get traced back to the company's HQ. Employees were allegedly specifically told how to structure their fake reviews so as to seem convincing, and indistinguishable as employees. They were also instructed to "dislike" negative reviews on Sunday Riley products, which, after enough dislikes, would cause the review to disappear.
The agreement between Sunday Riley and the FTC doesn't require the brand to admit to falsifying online product reviews in the past, it only requires that Sunday Riley vow not to do so in the future.
