New Zealand brand wins international beauty award

It was a win for NZ at the annual Janey Loves Platinum Awards in the UK last week, with the Qsilica Paw Paw Rescue Ointment coming up trumps in the skin saviour category.

The 100 per cent naturally-derived balm is no stranger to winning awards, with this being the second year in a row the brand has taken home the gold.

“Qsilica skincare and supplementation is a natural extension of our lifestream range, with Paw Paw Rescue Ointment becoming a much-loved beauty go-to for its healing and nourishing properties,” says naturopath Erica Lahmert.

“Consumers are demanding that effectiveness goes hand-in-hand with the best natural ingredients. This is something Qsilica delivers, as well as transparency - all ingredients are listed on the label.”

Qsilica launched in 2006, and the combination of colloidal silica and fresh fermented paw paw quickly made the balm a popular multi-use ointment.
