NEW ORGANIC SKINCARE DUOS

This week, LAMAV launched their all-natural and certified organic duo packs for skin brightening, ultra hydration and age defence.

Each duo pack features a serum and moisturising cream formulated to be used together, to help return the skin back to optimum health. Containing clinically proven bioactives to deliver results at the cellular level, they are available in the following combinations:

  • LAMAV Skin Brightening Duo – RRP $89.90Daily Vitamin-C Brightening Serum & Rumex Advanced Lightening Crème
  • LAMAV Ultra Hydration Duo – RRP $89.90:Hyaluronic Acid Hydra-Max Serum & Hyaluronan Daily Moisture Crème
  • LAMAV Wrinkle Smoothing Duo – RRP $89.90: Commiphora Ultra Plumping Serum & Bio VA5 Wrinkle Smoothing Day Crème

Dr Tarj Mavi, founder and creator of LAMAV says, ‘Our duos are the perfect combination to restore skin health and maintain optimum hydration, while reducing the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation and rosacea. Many people think that if they use a serum, they don’t need to moisturise as well and vice versa, however this is not the case. For best results, we recommend using both products in conjunction.’

LAMAV’s serums and moisturising creams are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as dullness, dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles and over all ageing of the skin. Some of the highly-concentrated organic ingredients used across the duo collections include; vitamin C, natural hyaluronic acid, bisabolol, CoEnzyme Q10, green tea cranberry, paracress, bilberry, rumex occidentalis, licorice root, wakame, kakadu plum and chlorella vulgaris extracts, aloe vera juice, rose distillate and organic brown seaweed to name a few.

PREMIUM, NATURAL SKINCARE FOR MAMAS AND MAMAS-TO-BE 

Madré Australia is a premium, natural skincare brand for your bump and beyond that has just launched here in Australia.

Created bearing stretch marks, nip-lash (ouch) and morning sickness in mind, Madré Australia launches with their four best-selling essentials – Belly Mask, Boob Balm, Wellness Stick and Mama Mantra Pills, suitable for use before, during and after pregnancy. 

Created by Cosmetic Chemist and Nutritionist Trish Maharaj, Madré Australia was born as a result of Trish’s struggle to find high-quality, all-natural Australian skincare products while pregnant.

‘Knowing all too well the craziness that surrounds motherhood, our premium, clean beauty range allows mums to pamper themselves with peace of mind, knowing our products are safe for their baby and their skin,’ said Trish.

The Madré Australia range comprises the four following products:

Madré Belly Mask (RRP $29.95, 1 sachet / $69.95, 3 sachets). Perfect for use both during and after pregnancy, the mask assists with minimising and softening stretch masks, improving skin elasticity whilst also promoting collagen growth and repair. The vegan formula uses naturally hydrating and firming ingredients derived from Sea Plants, Celery Cells and Australian Davidson Plum and the biodegradable wood pulp sheet sits comfortably on your curves to nourish the skin.

Designed with cracked, sore nipples in mind, Madré Boob Balm (RRP $38.95, 30ml) uses 100 per cent natural ingredients to help leave your skin feeling supple and hydrated. The formula combines the oils from Coconuts, Sunflower Seeds, Jojoba, Primrose and Olive Fruit to soften dry cracked skin while Cocoa Butter nourishes against chapping and Plant Lanolin heals and soothes.

Madré Wellness Stick (RRP $34.95) is the perfect on-the-go companion for mums suffering from morning sickness, providing pregnancy nausea relief by applying to pressure points. The stick comprises Australian organic essential oils Lemon Myrtle, Peppermint and Ginger to aid unsettled stomachs and relieve stress, Lavender to promote relaxation and Sweet Orange to re-energise and refresh.

A fun way to self-care, Madré Mama Mantra Pills (RRP $36.95, 35 x mantra quotes) provide a daily dose of happiness for mamas and mamas-to-be. Each capsule contains an inspirational quote to help through those tough days when a little pick-me-up is required.

Available separately or as part of the Madré Mama Self Care Kit (RRP $180.80).

All Madré Australia products are free from parabens, mineral oils, phthalates, lanolin, beeswax, dyes, fragrance and worries. Madré Australia products are available at www.madreaustralia.com
