AUSSIE FACE HALO EXPLODES ONTO US MARKET.
Face Halo, the award-winning reusable make-up remover made from HaloTech
fibres, have secured a full store roll out into 1246 ULTA stores across the USA
as well as placement in the ‘impulse section’ in all stores.
The pioneering, sustainable beauty brand launched back in 2017 from Perthbased
founder Lizzy Pike. From humble beginnings, to a now successful,
global business used by celebrities worldwide (such as Naomi Watts, Chloe
Morello and Jess Glynne). Using only water, Face Halo traps and removes
makeup for a deep clean and gentle exfoliation. Face Halo’s makeup remover
is dual-sided and reusable for up to 200 machine washes, replacing up to 500
traditional makeup wipes.
The US expansion is expected to grow global Face Halo sales by over 20
per cent and as ULTA will be ranging the full product range, this makes it the
largest deal that Face Halo has achieved to date since the brand launched just
over 3 years ago. The head-to-toe Face Halo Sustainable System will now be
available in over 10,000 stores globally with the brand having also secured
further iconic international retail partners in the past 6 months including
Douglas Germany, Zalando in the EU, Rite Aid, Kohl’s, The Hut Group - USA,
Superdrug, John Lewis Partnership, Cult Beauty - UK and Indigo, Holt Renfrew
in Canada.
“Whilst Face Halo has achieved international success in the UK and Australia,
launching into 1200+ ULTA stores is an extremely exciting prospect. Unlike
their British and Australian counterparts, US consumers are only at the start of
their sustainability journey, so we are looking forward to changing the American
beauty landscape and positioning Face Halo as the frontrunner and champion
of the Conscious Beauty movement”. said Co-Founder of Face Halo, Lizzy

CPCA PUSH CRACKDOWN ON REGULATED LASERS.
of regulation, with Queensland’s being the strictest, our two most populated
cities, Sydney and Melbourne, have no regulation at all. However, as CPCA
President, Dr Michael Molton points out, even in the states where regulation
exists, the actual enforcement of those regulations is often lacking.
In Australia, there are a wide range of practitioners performing cosmetic
medicine procedures, with different degrees of training and experience,
education and understanding and unfortunately, this means there is a wide
discrepancy in skill levels and the undertaking of responsibility.
Registered healthcare professionals are tightly bound by the Australian
Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA) that enforce strict standards of advertising and procedure.
Those that are not governed by the same regulations, such as the type of
non- medical personnel highlighted in last night’s program, have the freedom to
advertise and effectively lure members of the public in a more enticing manner,
without having to disclose their level of training and expertise.
As with all technology, performing laser treatments in a manner that ensures
patient safety involves a steep learning curve. However, at this time, all that’s
required is adequate money to purchase the laser device and set-up shop. The
CPCA believes this is incubating an environment where untrained operators
are in fact, experimenting on unsuspecting members of the public, while they
hone their skills.
“The patient visits a practitioner in good faith, and they have every right to
believe they are being treated by an experienced professional,” said Dr Molton.
Moving forward, the CPCA aims to work together with industry bodies in a
collaborative manner to lobby for the Australian Radiation Protection and
Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) to act quickly on this matter, as national
regulation and enforcement of these regulations is well overdue.

The Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) has long been an
avid advocate for patient safety, especially with regards to unregulated laser
use in Australia. For many years, the CPCA has been lobbying industry bodies
about this very subject with the aim that uniform, national laser regulation be
introduced.
Currently the regulations governing the use of lasers among states and
territories vary significantly, ranging from minimal state regulations to none
at all. While, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia have some form
