| LATEST RANGE FROM BOTANECO GARDEN'S RANGE |
GUARDIAN MALAYSIA has introduced the Botaneco Garden Organic
Chia Seed Oil and Honey range, a nature inspired solution that deeply
moisturises and protects dry skin and hair with the benefits of traditional
home remedies[1],[2]
minus the mess.
Themed ‘Be A Mess Free Beauty’ the launch held at A Cut
Above Academy, highlighted the messy challenges of preparing DIY beauty
remedies using chia seed and honey in a light-hearted take on YouTube tutorials,
while sharing the benefits of the two ingredients for the real problem of dry
skin and dry hair.
Air-conditioned environments, showers, blow drying hair
on high heat and harsh personal care products that do not suit the skin and
hair condition of the user can all contribute to dryness[3].
As we get older, skin loses the dewiness of youth, and our scalp produces less
oils resulting in dry hair[4].
[5]
With so many factors arrayed against achieving the holy
grail of dewy, smooth skin, and lustrous, shiny locks, what can you do?
The new BOTANECO
GARDEN ORGANIC CHIA SEED OIL AND HONEY range
offers a solution for eco-conscious consumers who prefer a gentle yet
effective personal care range. It includes the aptly named Deep Moist and
Protect shampoo, conditioner, hair oil, body wash, body lotion and hand cream
for daily hair and skin care focused on moisturisation and protection of dry to
normal skin and hair.
The range
is formulated with 100% eco-certified organic chia seed oil from Germany to
restore skin and hair’s natural moisture barrier and to retain moisture, and
enriched with organic honey extract from France that is high in minerals,
vitamins and anti-oxidants.The combination of 100% eco-certified organic chia
seed oil and organic honey extract provides moisturisation and hydration that
is ideal for dry to normal skin types. It is dermatologically tested and
proven. It is not tested on animals.
The entire Botaneco Garden range of 58 products,
including the new Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey line is available only at Guardian
Malaysia.
Guardian Malaysia now operates a chain of over 400
stores, providing an unrivalled variety of Pharmaceutical, Health and Beauty
products to more than 2.5 million Malaysian customers a month, across the
country. It is among the leading health, beauty and personal care chains in
Malaysia.
Guardian Health &
Beauty Sdn. Bhd, Brand Manager, Health & Beauty Own Brand, Malaysia &
Brunei, Ms Michelle Yeap explained that the Organic Chia Seed Oil and
Honey range was developed to deliver mess-free products based on global
cosmeceutical trends, and the needs of Guardian’s customers in the region.
“Nature-inspired,deeply
moisturising and protective solutions for dry skin and dry hair are high on our
customers’ wish list. We studied numerous eco-certified and organic ingredients
before finding the unique combination of 100% eco-certified chia seed oil and
organic honey extract that provided the effective moisturising and hydration
and benefits for dry to normal skin,” Ms Yeap said.
“Our
core consumers enjoy the clean beauty of DIY home preparations but are put off
by the amount of time, effort and cost involved in do-it-yourself remedies. The
preparation followed by the clean-up of the kitchen and bath after is a workout
in itself! There is also the risk of using the wrong recipe at home where the
ratio of the ingredients do not deliver good results.”
The
Botaneco Garden team demonstrated the possible DIY fails and messiness of preparing
chia seed and honey beauty aids for skin and hair in the Botaneco Garden Mess
Free Beauty YouTube studio.
“For
the Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range Botaneco Garden put in the goodness
of two functional ingredients to give our consumers an affordable fullpersonal
care line that works for dry to normal skin types. It is dermatologically
tested and proven so that you can be a mess-free beauty. Use it straight from
the bottle or the tube, it is gentle enough for daily use,” she added.
Guests
at the Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey launch experienced the
mess-free benefits of this line through a full salon hair wash, condition and blow
dry service, followed by a manicure with hand massage provided at A Cut Above
Academy.
“We
tested the Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey shampoo,
conditioner, hair oil, body lotion and hand cream ahead of this event to
familiarise, and the results were impressive. The shampoo does not produce much
foam which is a good thing as foam can strip hair of natural oils, drying it
out. The conditioner increased manageability and reduced frizz. The hair oil is
a star that makes styling easier and natural looking without weighing down
hair,” said Mr Peter Wong, Head of the A Cut Above Academy.
There are five product lines under the Botaneco Garden
brand namely Inca Inchi which uses Inca Inchi and Aloe Vera as key ingredients,
the premium Organic Argan and Olive Oil range, Botaneco Garden Baby which uses
eco-certified chamomile and colloidal oatmeal for a gentle and effective baby
range; the Trio Oil range which uses 100% eco-certified oil - Babassu oil, Baobab oil and Chufa oil, and
the new Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range.
The Botaneco Garden Organic Chia
Seed Oil and Honey range is priced from RM 9.34 for the Deep Moist and Protect hand
creamto RM18.77 for the Deep Moist and Protect shampoo, conditioner, body wash
and body lotion. The entire line is available at all Guardian stores
nationwide, and through the Guardian e-store www.guardian.com.my. For more
