Tronque makes its mark on
US beauty scene
Luxury New Zealand body-care brand
Tronque continues to soar, with
continued growth and expansion in the
United States.
Hot on the heels of securing two
prestigious deals with high-end retails
Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue,
Tronque is delighted to announce its
latest deal with Bluemercury – a leading
luxury beauty retailer renowned for its
exceptional range of cosmetics, skin
care, makeup, perfume, hair, and bath
and body products.
Tronque’s cult range of Bio-Cleanical
body-care, made from non-toxic,
minimally processed, plant-based,
organic ingredients, will be ranged across
the US in 22 Bluemercury stores, making
Tronque the first New Zealand skin and
body care brand to secure a deal with
Bluemercury.
Launching alongside Brad Pitt’s
skincare line, Le Domaine, and Pharrell
William’s skincare line, Humanrace, this
deal represents a significant growth
opportunity for the young New Zealand
brand, with Bluemercury stores revenue
BEAUTYNZ MAGAZINE
amounting to more than US$500million.
Tanné Snowden, Founder of Tronque,
says: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be the
first New Zealand skincare and body
brand stocked with Bluemercury across
the US. Bluemercury, Neiman Marcus
and Saks Fifth Avenue are retailers that
I’ve deeply admired over many years and
it’s a dream come true to achieve ranging
with them.
“At Tronque we celebrate the human
form and all its glorious imperfections.
Everybody deserves products that look
after them inside and out and with a new
product launching before the end of the
year, I’m excited to continue building our
existing range,” says Tanné.
Two years in the making prior to
launching in November 2021, Tronque
was developed following Tanné’s
personal struggle with endometriosis.
Whilst recovering from surgery, Tanné
found that her daily skincare products
contained toxic ingredients proven
to disrupt hormones and the human
endocrine system.
Tronque is here
to challenge the
status quo, and we
continually strive
to create the most
innovative natural
beauty products –
this really resonated
with Bluemercury.
The discovery saw Tanné set out to
create her very own product range guided
by a philosophy of total transparency
and sustainability. Tronque makes no
compromises and uses no endocrine
disruptors, while all packaging is fully
compostable or recyclable.
“Throughout the evolution of Tronque,
we’ve never wavered from our mission
against neck-down neglect and the
creation of a habitual ritual of everyday
luxe skin care specifically for the body,”
says Tanné.
CANDELA opens
Auckland Training &
Education Centre
Candela has opened a
dedicated office in Auckland,
with the new facility not
only a showroom to support
sales, but also an education
and training centre for all
Candela devices, as well as
Laser Safety Officer (LSO)
training.
An exciting development
for Candela customers,
the opening demonstrates
Candela's commitment to
education and training as
a key factor in setting the
standard for laser technology
in New Zealand.
"Both new and existing
customers will be able to see
and engage with the devices
firsthand. This means they'll
get a feel for the technology
and be able to see it in action
and experience it directly,"
says Bronwyn Page, New
Zealand Clinical Educator.
"Whilst other device
companies build offices and
showrooms to support sales,
For 30 years, Natio has
harnessed the restorative
power of natural botanicals
backed by science.
To commemorate its
anniversary, the brand has
renovated its signature range
with Natio Aromatherapy
entering a new era in gentle
yet effective, plant-based
skincare.
Drawing on advances in

Candela creates learning
and development centres
to support education for
existing customers," says
Cindy Knaggs, New Zealand
Business Development
Manager.
“What's more, clinics can
also use the office for
staff training, rather than
having to rearrange patient
appointments or block
out machines in their own
facilities. This approach has
resulted in thousands of
trained therapists, and the
new Auckland office will
continue to support the
education and development
of professionals in the laser
technology field.”
Candela customers in New
Zealand can also expect a
range of educational events
and workshops throughout
the year, including Key
Opinion Leaders, and
Discovery Morning Teas for
businesses looking to invest
