THE WHAT? L’Occitane has launched its first Green Store concept in Australia, which comes as part of the company’s sustainability program.
THE DETAILS The store has been built in collaboration with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and is located within the space of L’Occitane’s Westfield Bondi Junction store.
Concepts include a living green wall with a fully integrated irrigation system that acts as a natural air filter, as well as a Refill Fountain, where consumers can refill products in 100 percent recyclable aluminium ‘Forever Bottles.’
Other sustainable aspects include the recycled glass benchtops and icebreaker sinks, which were manufactured by Australian company Betta Stone.
Mechanisms have also been integrated to allow for continual monitoring to identify new ways to lower consumption and help contribute to achieving the Green Star certification.
THE WHY? The move evolves L’Occitane’s sustainability strategy. According to Pierre-Emmanuel Joffre, General Manager L’Occitane Australia, “We are so proud of this achievement and the level of detail; from the materials through to the refill fountain; we collaborated across the whole company to think outside the box so that sustainability and reducing waste are at the centre of the Boutique, just like L’Occitane’s philosophy, it is in everything we do.”
Aesthetic medicine products are developed and regulated to meet stringent safety and efficacy standards. They are typically administered by trained healthcare professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and specialized nurses in clinical settings. These products aim to provide effective solutions for cosmetic enhancement, skin rejuvenation, and overall aesthetic improvement, contributing to both physical appearance and self-confidence.
Key categories of aesthetic medicine products include:
-
Injectables: This category includes products such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxins (e.g., Botox), and collagen stimulators. These injectables are used to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and improve facial contours.
-
Skin Rejuvenation Treatments: Products like chemical peels, microdermabrasion systems, and laser devices are used to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation irregularities, and enhance overall skin tone.
-
Skincare Products: These include medical-grade cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and topical treatments containing active ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and growth factors. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation.
-
Hair Restoration Products: Medical treatments and products designed to promote hair growth and treat conditions such as male and female pattern baldness.
-
Body Contouring and Fat Reduction: Devices and products used for non-surgical body sculpting, such as cryolipolysis (cool sculpting) devices and injectable lipolytics.
-
Cosmeceuticals: High-performance skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing potent ingredients with proven clinical benefits.
-
Wound Care and Scar Management: Products like silicone sheets, gels, and advanced wound dressings used to improve healing and reduce the appearance of scars.
