THE WHAT? Procter & Gamble-owned Herbal Essences has teamed up with TerraCycle in a new partnership named ‘Renew the Forest,’ which will see the planting of more than 60,000 trees and the instalment of 20 benches made out of recycled hair care packages.
THE DETAILS The benches will be placed in three natural preserves maintained by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), while the trees will be planted throughout the U.S.
The move follows the pledge by Herbal Essences to plant one tree for every two bottles of select bio:renew shampoo or conditioner purchased at Walmart in the U.S. during the month of April. The company exceeded the 58,000 goal and will now plant 61,329 trees through the TNC’s Plant a Billion Trees program.
THE WHY? The partnership aims to increase and sustain biodiversity, with a focus on helping preserve the planet for future generations.
Rachel Zipperian, Herbal Essences Senior Scientist, said, “Plants underpin all life on Earth and tangible renewal is necessary to sustain biodiversity. We are proud to partner with TerraCycle and The Nature Conservancy to carry out business practices that directly enhance natural environments for communities to enjoy.”
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.
