HOLSKI
Wellington-based sisters-in-law Jill and
Emma Hughes came up with the idea
for their beauty brand Holski (a blend
of the words holistic and skincare) after
discussing studies that showed that
when effective ingredients are both
ingested and applied topically to the
skin, better results are achieved than
using them separately.
The pair spent a significant amount
of time working with a top skincare
cosmetic chemist and herbalist to
formulate the range, creating Holski's
simple two-step system; top-quality
ingestible collagen supplement
Collagen Beauty Builder and single
skincare product Collagen Activation
Hydrator.
The New Zealand made range
of 'Supplemetics' (a marriage of
supplements and cosmetics) is
designed to achieve maximum results
from minimum products. Providing
a dermatologically tested offering
Holski founders Emma and Jill Hughes
of age specific formulas, ingestible
collagen and topical collagen are
utilised together to supercharge the
regeneration and rejuvenation
of skin.
Holski’s two products are
available in three versions;
20+, 35+ and 50+ - with agespecific
formulas designed
to meet the changing
needs of skin as it ages.
“In our twenties, our
bodies are running at their
most optimal performance,
so it’s all about protection.
As we get older, the focus
shifts to replenishment and
repair. As we age further, cell
communication slows down and
environmental factors take their
toll,” explains Jill.
“Holski formulations get stronger and
have slightly different ingredients as you
step through the different age levels to
match a person’s age and stage of life.
For example, our 50+ has three-times
more signalling peptides than our 20+
age level because our cells are still
communicating quickly at that age.”
Holski take a holistic approach, with
the two products when used together
designed to work from the insideout,
and the outside-in, utilising a
supplement meets cosmetic approach,
hence its trademarked use of the term
‘Supplemetics’.
Holski products are available online
from holski.com and from an expanding
network of stockists nationwide.
