THE WHAT? Augustinus Bader has teamed up with Sofia Coppola to launch a line of tinted lip balms, the brand’s first foray into lip color. The Tinted Balm, as the range has been named, is available in three shades.
THE DETAILS According to a report published by WWD, Shade 1, a deep pink, is said to be inspired by a discontinued lipstick, a former favourite of Coppola’s. Shade 2 is a summery coral perfect for the beach while Shade 3’s earthy plum tone is more suited to fall.
THE WHY? Bader’s CEO, Charles Rosier told WWD that celebrity collaborations are an excellent way to reach new audiences.
Clinical aesthetics products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics or cosmetic dermatology. These products are typically designed and formulated to be used under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained aestheticians. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain active ingredients or formulations that require expertise in their application or administration.
Examples of clinical aesthetics products include:
-
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Examples include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectables that temporarily paralyze facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
-
Chemical Peels: Solutions applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture. They can treat acne, pigmentation issues, and signs of aging.
-
Laser and Light Therapies: Devices that emit focused light or laser energy to treat various skin conditions, including acne, scars, and signs of aging.
-
Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients like retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants to address specific skin concerns under medical supervision.
