Caroline Larissey, NHBF’s Director of Quality and Standards has been recognised on the first ever Powerlist which celebrates inspirational women in Trade Associations. From a combination of joined forces from Trade Associations Federation (TAF), Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), the Women in Trade Associations Powerlist was created, and aims to champion the role of women in trade associations and celebrate their achievements.
Caroline’s early career saw her working her way through the ranks, from a salon junior to a business owner over a 35-year period and then a further education lecturer, progressing on to a director of training and education. Her passion and determination have earned her roles as the National Diploma Project Lead and Head of Standards and Qualifications at Habia (2006), Skills Active group (2013) and the Director of Quality and Standards at the National Hair and Beauty Federation (NHBF) in 2018. In her current role with the NHBF, Caroline acts as a conduit between Government and the industry. She is instrumental within the hair, beauty and aesthetic sector across the UK and strives to be the driving force behind the development of standards, quality, and guidance to support the value and recognition of the sector.
Caroline said “I am delighted to be recognised amongst so many other inspirational and powerful women. It’s great company to be in and really is a massive achievement. I am proud to represent our members at NHBF and I’m hugely proud of the work that we have achieved so far and for what’s to come.”
Cosnova, Europe’s volume market leader in colour cosmetics, has announced that all products by the group’s brands are now completely free of microplastic particles. In 2020, the beauty player from Sulzbach near Frankfurt, Germany, decided to remove microplastic particles from its product range because they are damaging the environment – and it has now achieved its top-priority goal. To curb the enormous impact of these tiny plastic particles, Cosnova began updating its formulas in 2020. A Herculean task that has paid off: the entire range of the CATRICE and essence brands is now 100% free of microplastic particles.
“When a study revealed that 50 percent of our consumers use water to remove their make-up, it became clear to us that we had to ensure that our products did not release microplastics into the environment – because even decorative cosmetics contribute to water pollution with microplastic particles, despite what is often discussed in the industry. I am very proud that we have now succeeded in permanently removing the particles from the products of our CATRICE and essence brands,” says Katrin Steinbach, Technical Unit Expert Corporate Responsibility at cosnova.

Brad Pitt gave a suave performance as Jack Conrad in the 1920’s set ‘Babylon‘. With slicked back, brown hair, Brad emulated the classic Hollywood movie star. Brad’s hairstylist Jaime Leigh McIntosh revealed that she only used one hair product for his classic mane. “That beautiful mane is all Brad’s. We had it coloured by the wonderful colourist Kadi Lee. I cut it into shape and then for styling, we wanted a classic, timeless style, but we still wanted it to have movement, so the only product we used was The Jojoba Company’s Australian Jojoba (£13.99) and applied to damp hair, combed into place, and left to dry naturally. It gives a wonderful natural look and doesn’t look too filled with product. We wanted his hair to look effortless, so avoided using any heavy styling products in it. It looks amazing, and it still moves when it needs to move.”
Versatile pure Jojoba first-press, cold pressed, extra virgin, makes it more effective on hair, face, and body. Jojoba stimulates circulation in the scalp, nourishing and strengthening the hair follicles to grow, which promotes hair growth and thickness. It is also rich in many vitamins and minerals that specifically nourish hair, including vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin E, copper and zinc. Plus, it also looks good, slicked back without making the hair look or feel oily, because Jojoba oil isn’t actually an oil, it’s a liquid wax ester that is very similar to the natural sebum produced by our sebaceous glands.
