With the colder months settling in, it is important to still keep skin as hydrated as possible. Oio Lab’s Aquasphere Multi-Dimensional Hydrating Facial Serum (€49.90) will help make the transition from Autumn to Winter easier for you and your client’s skin. Made in Poland this PETA approved, vegan and cruelty-free facial serum is an advanced, concentrated and multi-level hydrating serum. The gel-serum ‘fills-in’ the skin’s structure, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, stimulates natural production of hyaluronic acid and prevents water loss – by forming an invisible, protective film on the skin. Tamarind seed polysaccharides and algae extracts enhance the moisturising, regenerating and plumping effects. The serum has a light, deeply penetrating texture and leaves the skin visibly smoother and brighter. Perfect to use as a primer under make up. Available from oiolab.

Industry News
The Hair & Beauty Charity yesterday released a ‘thank you’ film created by the charity’s supporters during lockdown, showcasing how the charity helps those in need. With the latest government changes being announced and regionalised lockdowns still happening, there are still so many people in our industry needing to know that the charity is there to help them – should they need it. You can watch the film here.
Faith in Nature has been a leader in the sustainable beauty movement since it was founded in 1974 by natural beauty pioneer Rivka Rose creating ‘green’ cosmetics before it was mainstream and harnessing the power of natural ingredients while looking after the planet that provides them. Faith in Nature has been using 100% recycled and recyclable bottles since 1999, saving 340 tonnes of plastic from landfill, along with introducing a ‘zero-plastic’ soap and shampoo bar range. Now the brand are taking the next step to fight plastic pollution by switching to ocean-bound plastic across their core range. 70% of plastic waste is estimated to end up in oceans, where it takes over 400 years to decompose – needless to say, the consequences of plastic pollution are detrimental to fish and marine life.
Ocean-bound reclaimed plastic is collected from rivers and streams to prevent it specifically from entering the ocean. The plastic is collected by communities stricken by poverty who can earn instant payment for their efforts.
Faith in Nature’s new bottles will no longer be grey but instead pale orange. Ocean-bound recycled plastic takes its colour from its former life, and no two will be the exactly same.
Faith in Nature is available now from retailers including Holland and Barrett, Boots, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Amazon and faithinnature.
