Comvita Skincare with HUNI®XA™ Manuka Honey

SLOW THE SIGNS OF AGEING WITH HUNI®XA™ MANUKA HONEY –
Comvita announces new skincare range

As the world’s largest manufacturer and exporter of Manuka honey, Comvita takes its honey seriously.

Breakthrough research, conducted by Comvita’s team of scientists, from the Institute for Innovation in Biotechnology (IIB) at the University of Auckland, has revealed that a special blend of Manuka honey contains active compounds that help slow the signs of ageing.

With this, Comvita has launched a range of natural skincare products exclusive to David Jones including this special blend of Manuka honey from a Beautiful Place. Comvita Skincare is available in Normal to Dry, Normal to Oily and Bodycare.

Comvita’s Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Ralf Schlothauer says they have trademarked this blend as HUNI®XA and it’s the key ingredient in their skincare products.

Evidence* supports that it works by inhibiting the activity of a group of enzymes called MMP’s (matrix metalloproteinases) which together, says Dr. Schlothauer, are capable of degrading collagen in the skin.

“We know that skin ageing is caused by both chronological ageing (unpreventable) and photo ageing (sun induced ageing). The primary environmental factor that causes photo ageing is UV irradiation from the sun.”

Upon exposure to sunlight, says Dr. Schlothauer, the activity of MMP’s is up-regulated. This leads to the loss of collagen. Collagen is a critical provider of strength and resilience to the skin, so when it breaks down, skin loses its firmness and wrinkles are formed.

Ongoing research indicates that plant derived phenolic compounds, such as those found in enriched levels in Manuka honey (Stephens et al, 2009)**, have been shown to inhibit MMP’s activity, i.e., they slow the signs of ageing.

HUNI®XA™ is combined with other sustainably harvested, high quality, natural ingredients, which are all geared to fight the signs of ageing, says Comvita General Manager Personal Care, Leigh Kite.

“At Comvita we’re recognised for our commitment to research, our science network and to unlocking the mysteries of Manuka honey,” says Kite, “which is why the phenolic structure, exact geographical source of HUNI®XA™ Manuka honey, and the blending process we use, are proprietary to Comvita.”

Comvita has extended its skincare products to include a Normal-to Oily range, in addition to its Normal-to-Dry range and a selection of products designed for the Body.

“While naturals are the fastest growing trend in the global beauty market today, consumers simply want effective skincare that’s not just safe for your skin but safe for the environment too. It’s an exciting journey and these initial skincare product offerings are just the beginning,” says Kite.

Aum Anit-Aging Range

New Natural Wonders: Aum unleashes the power of plants

For anti ageing results you can truly see and feel, women have traditionally relied on synthetic skincare. With the launch of four new innovative facial treatments, Aum pushes the boundaries of certified organic botanicals. Proven to effectively target key signs of ageing, Aum’s pioneering Marine Complex finally bridges the gap between gentle natural skincare and real anti ageing results.

Refusing compromise, Aum has raised the bar for natural skincare with a series of new face products powered by clinically proven anti ageing plant actives. World leading Australian marine extracts provide the answer to the modern beauty dilemma of gentle natural nourishment versus high performance chemicals. Aum’s certified organic Marine Complex is derived from antioxidant rich brown seaweeds from the pure Tasmanian ocean waters. Featured throughout the range, the Marine Complex is proven to actively slow, reverse and protect against premature skin ageing,
naturally.

Seaweed is a well-known superfood and pharmaceutical powerhouse. The unique bioactive properties of brown seaweed inspired Aum to extend the benefits of marine plants from medicine and nutrition to innovative anti ageing skincare. The active component of these marine extracts (Sea Lettuce and Bull Kelp) is Fucoidans, a rare type of carbohydrate found only in brown seaweed.
Fucoidans enable Aum’s Marine Complex to interact with the skin, inhibiting multiple skin degrading processes.

“Our Fucoidan based Marine Complex is a hardworking natural rejuvenator. These ‘good carbs’ prevent the breakdown of Hyaluronic Acid and elastin, which keep skin plump and flexible. They also stop enzymes from turning into melanin, thus preventing age spots and pigmentation. Finally, Fucoidans both inhibit the destruction of and promotes new production of collagen to fighting signs of ageing”, says founder Julian Markin.

Identifying and integrating the Fucoidans was the first monumental step towards natural anti ageing results. The second is the unique bio-fermentation process, which unlocks the potency of plant extracts used in Aum’s products. This advanced method enables the extraction of active, smaller molecules from botanicals, which can be easily absorbed and penetrate into the deeper skin layers, making the nutrients more available. The fermentation process also biologically enriches the products with protein, vitamins, and essential amino and fatty acids.

Launching a series of new products featuring powerful Fucoidans, Aum offers a comprehensive anti age defence. The Marine Complex has been clinically proven to lighten and even out skin tone (Brightening Face Balm RRP $24.95) visibly reduce lines and wrinkles (Line Minimising Cream RRP $29.95) and increase skin elasticity and firmness (Firming Eye Cream RRP $26.95). Unleashing the power of plants, Aum skincare delivers results normally only seen in synthetic formulations.
The choice between gentle and effective is finally a thing of the past.

Available at selected Myer department stores and organic health retailers from 19 September 2011

Simply Radiant

Introducing…
Simply Radiant
The skin health anti-oxidant with superfruits

An appreciation of the role that nutrition plays in beauty was the driving force behind the creation of Simply Radiant, Australia’s first skin health anti-oxidant drink with scientifically proven ingredients to increase skin hydration and elasticity, promote healthy skin, help decrease premature aging effects of sun damage and provide nutritional support for collagen production.

Boasting a revolutionary formula that has been shown to encourage collagen production, Simply Radiant is the first beauty drink in the country to contain FloraGLO®, a unique patented Lutein ingredient extracted from the sun hardy marigold flower.

FloraGLO has been shown to have a protective effect on both the health of the eyes and the surrounding skin, with an ability to reduce the appearance of sun damage and wrinkles.

Developed by Australian R&D company, Igea Life Sciences, this all natural product contains over 10 powerful actives and superfruits that are jam-packed with nutrients, naturally occurring compounds and anti-oxidants to fight free radicals, nourish the skin internally and help delay the aging process.

Simply Radiant is a one-a-day total anti-aging solution in the form of a delicious, zesty drink.
According Igea’s R&D director, Chris Lynton, the idea behind Simply Radiant is that the nutrients ingested through the drink are absorbed faster into the bloodstream than whole foods.
“With Simply Radiant we’ve incorporated superfruits such as pomegranate, goji berry, elderberry, rose hip, blackberry, orange and cocoa, and of course the superfood, FloraGLO because they are concentrated sources of certain nutrients that work to firm, hydrate and enhance the look and feel of the skin – from the inside,” he said.
“It may sound complicated and scientific but in reality Simply Radiant is simple formula that works. It’s about getting back to basics for the best possible results.”

Simply Radiant is a refreshing drink with a zesty berry pomegranate flavour. It comes in convenient, individual, purse-sized sachets that can be used anywhere, any time. Simply Radiant is an easy and quick solution to aging or sun damaged skin.

RRP: (one packet = 14 sachets, 2 week supply): $49.95

Giorgio Armani – Madre Perla Collection

HOLIDAY 2011
Madre Perla
From Armani couture jewellery to makeup artistry

An inspiring era… The elegance of the 30’s is setting the tone for the season. Pure lines, sophisticated colours, luxurious details… Art Deco in all its glory with one of its iconic materials: Madre Perla (Mother of Pearl).
Madre Perla inlaid in a precious case, heralding a must-have product. Madre Perla, too, in Linda Cantello’s colour inspiration, with subtle reflections and iridescent effects.

“Like a 1930’s boudoir… A touch of lacquer and patinated metals add a sophisticated feel to satiny, pearlescent tones. Delicate shades reminiscent of the silk lingerie of the time.”
Linda Cantello

FACE & EYES PALETTE
Irresistible… Inspired by Art Deco style, Giorgio Armani’s famous black case is decorated in real Madre Perla. Precision work done entirely by hand in the purest tradition of luxury craftsmanship.
Utter refinement: a silver logo adorns this exclusive limited edition case, which just 3,000 women in the world will have the privilege of owning. Decidedly unique…Inside are found three luminous, satiny powders in sand, champagne and aqua. Silky shadows that skilfully combine a feather-light texture with radiant colour. Blended over the eye area, the three shades sculpt and illuminate the eyes. Lightly dabbed onto the facial contours, the sand and champagne tones catch the light to increase the radiance of the complexion. The Face & Eye Palette is also available in Giorgio Armani’s iconic black lacquer case.

EYE PALETTE
A pastel harmony enhanced with a touch of iridescence. The smoky eye takes on a satiny, luminous sheen with the softness of this slightly metallic ivory, lavender and taupe trio. Micronised pigments incorporated into a translucent base cloak the eyelids in an intense veil of colour.

EYES TO KILL EYESHADOWS
Giorgio Armani’s most spectacular shadow is revealed in a limited edition of three metallic shades subtly patinated: a gold, as an echo to antique gilt, a toned down silver plutonium, and an intermediate shade blending gold and silver. Thanks to Color-fil colour matrix, these creamy, powder-free shadows adhere to the eyelid like a second skin, without ever fading or flaking. At the heart of their formula is a very high concentration of pigments captured in a supple polymer complex resistant to humidity and heat. The result: a vibrant film of colour, as if cast in metal, which stays true for 24 hours.

GLOSS D’ARMANI
A play of light and shade for the eyes… while the lips are adorned in vibrant lacquered shades. A real weave of colour, Gloss d’Armani offers comfortable, long-lasting hold, expressed in four limited edition shades: barely iridescent rosewood enhances the natural colour of the lips, while a velvety “amaranth” red and sienna intensely emphasise their shape. And an unexpected choice: a bold amethyst, which is vivid yet so translucent on application that it matches any skin tone.

Bloom – Belle de Jour

New York-based, internationally renowned makeup artist April Greaves has teamed up with Bloom
Cosmetics to develop the brand’s SS11 colour collection – Belle de Jour.

Literally translating as ‘beauty of the day’, Belle de Jour draws inspiration from Yves Saint Laurent’s long-time muse Catherine Deneuve in Luis Bunuel’s cult 1966 French film of the same title. As a selfconfessed Francophile it is a collection Bloom Cosmetics’ founder Natalie Bloom holds close to her heart.

Contoured eyes, perfect brows, luminous skin and glossy lips – Greaves’ vision was to take Deneuve’s iconic look and make fresh for the modern day girl on the street, mirroring Bloom’s own approachable philosophy. ‘The beauty of the Belle de Jour colour collection is that it is a stunning look for de jour,’ says Greaves. ‘But it can also be effortlessly amped up for de nuit with long-wearing formulas and beautiful textures’.

Originally hailing from Melbourne, Greaves’ portfolio is bursting with credentials from her nomadic beauty career in the fashion and entertainment industry. Working alongside internationally acclaimed photographers including Patrick Demarchelier, Tierney Gearon, Ellen Von Unwerth and Roxanna Lowit;
Greaves’ former clients include Barney’s New York, L’Officiel Magazine and the holy grail of glossies – US Vogue, where she graced the pages as guest Beauty Editor.

Greaves has worked closely with Bloom to create four covetable new products, each boasting a multifunctionality – a waterproof Eye Crayon in three essential shades, Eye Brow Duo, Cream Blush Duo and Super Glossy Lips. Greaves has also produced a fresh spin on a Bloom favourite, creating a new berryhued shade for Bloom’s Lip Duo.

Delicate. Feminine. Alluring. Bloom’s Belle de Jour evokes a feeling of classic cinematic beauty, with a fresh, modern twist.
