Bridget Black

bridget black™ is a boutique skin care range enjoying a devoted following in both Australia and in New Zealand. This refreshing range of skin care, body care and candles was created four years ago in Perth, by Australian cosmetic and environmental chemist Bridget van Herk who still personally carries out all of the research and development for the range. The values underpinning the bridget black™ range directly reflect those of the forthright van Herk: truth, integrity, environmental awareness and fair pricing. These are reflected in the brand promise of ‘TRUTH and BEAUTY’. All products must meet van Herk’s exacting criteria of high performance, minimal impact on our environment, affordability and maximum pampering qualities. The vision behind her signature range was born from her belief that it is essential that people have a tailored and individual solution to their skin care and their skin care regime should reflect this. She believes she has created a range that covers all skin types and can be prescribed accordingly. As to the ingredients of her range, van Herk happily combines tested botanical ingredients with their man made counterparts. “It’s a myth that natural ingredients are all safe - mother nature can come up with some nasty toxins. This exciting range is available at her two stores in Perth, through our online shops in AU & NZ and also through our Face to Face At Home Consultants

Fragrances of the World

Regarded as the perfume experts’ expert, Michael Edwards’ dedication, devotion, knowledge, commitment and passion is unrivalled. His innovative contribution to the fragrance industry over the past three decades is momentous. In developing a guide for fragrance retailers in 1983, which categorised 323 fragrances, Michael made his first leap into what would become the industries ‘go to’ guide. His aim, “to make fragrance selection an exciting journey rather than a difficult chore,” changed fragrance vending forever. Fragrances of the World is now growing making it the industry’s most comprehensive reference. It remains the only independent and impartial guide, with Michael accepting no advertising or fees for fragrance listings. Edwards developed the Fragrance Wheel, an olfactory ‘map’ explaining relationships between 14 fragrance families. The wheel has since become a universal icon of perfume classification and essential selling tool. In 1996 Michael’s book, Perfume Legends: French Feminine Fragrances revealed the secret world of perfumery, instantly becoming a cult classic. It is now considered one of the most significant books written on modern perfumery. In 2005 Edwards introduced FragrancesoftheWorld.info - the only fragrance database that sorts and cross-references, more than 30,000 fragrances by classifications, pyramid and accord notes, perfumers and bottle designers, bottle images, house and corporate groups, gender, country, and year of launch. The online database offers such a wealthy source of information that the industry recognised Michael twice with the highly prestigious FiFi award for Technological Breakthrough. Today, Edwards is a nomad by necessity. He divides his time between Sydney, Paris and New York in order to stay abreast of the market, keep in touch with the avalanche of new launches - from just 130 in 1993 to more than 2,200 in 2017. Edwards and his team evaluate and classify every new fragrance and cross-check their cl

CHA LING L'Esprit du Thé

Imaginez une "terra incognita"​, aux confins des confins, dans la région du Yunnan, poumon vert de la Chine et berceau des thés de l’humanité, Imaginez une forêt millénaire, un écosystème parfait abritant le thé originel, le très vénéré thé Pu’Er. Imaginez le rêve d’un biologiste allemand, soutenu par sa femme chinoise, de protéger ce patrimoine écologique unique au monde. Imaginez que cet élan soit brisé par la disparition soudaine du biologiste.

Contrats d’approvisionnements durables assurant des revenus réguliers aux familles, cahiers des charges stricts pour garantir l’origine, la traçabilité des ingrédients, cultures sans pesticides ni engrais, engagement dans une certification bio de la matière première, préservation des parcelles aux arbres à thé de plus de 500 ans d’âge et création d’un Tea Garden suivant le modèle de reforestation élaboré par le biologiste allemand. Imaginez qu’en naisse une approche inédite de la Beauté : une Beauté pleine de sens, pour soi, pour les autres et pour le monde. Une attention, une expertise, pour prendre soin de votre beauté, de ses rythmes, à chaque instant. Une approche qui reconnecte le soin du corps à celui de l’âme.
