Fujifilm Malaysia Introduces New ASTALIFT Jelly Aquarysta

Hi, lovelies! Do you know Jelly Aquarysta has become the epitome of the ASTALIFT skincare brand ever since it's entry into Malaysia's skincare market in 2012. The jelly-type beauty essence helps combat dryness using a cutting edge ingredient - 'human-type nano ceramide' to keep the skin looking young and lustrous.

Now, the renewed ASTALIFT Jelly Aquarysta contains 'human-type nano acyl creamed', a moisturizing ingredient stably dispersed at the world's smallest 20nm-level, in addition to its proprietary moisturizing ingredient, 'human-type nano creamed', thereby enhancing its moisturizing function.

A dollop of the indicator is all you need for one application.

The jelly absorbs easily and does not feel greasy or sticky.

The new 'human-type nano acyl creamed' is able to lock and prevent the evaporation of moisture by 6 times more than conventional acyl creamed molecules. The combined power of two ceramics in the new ASTALIFT Jelly Aquarysta further enhances its moisturizing capabilities by 1.6 times. Creamide plays an important role in replenishing and retaining the water content found inside the skin's keratin layer to provide optimum hydration. As naturally occurring ceramics found in the skin decrease with age, they must be proactively nano-supplemented to maintain skin's moisture level.

In order to ensure the blend of 2 types of ceramides remains in a stable state, an unique jelly is used. The surface of the jelly is able to repair itself within 1-2 minutes after use, returning to its original flat and smooth form, therefore it will always appears as good as new every time it is used.

The improved version of Jelly Aquarysta also features double the amount of 'nano astaxanthin'. Astaxanthin is the red ingredient which gives elasticity and resilience to the skin. Ceramide is the ingredient which conditions the inside of the skin and keeps it moisturized. By applying the jelly-type beauty esssence on bare skin after cleansing and before moisturizing, the two types of ceramics - 'human-type nano ceramides' - 'human-type nano creamed' and 'human-type nano acyl ceramide' dispersed at the world's smallest 20mm level moisture every corner of the skin for the glowing and lustrous skin. The skin barrier function is significantly improved by 2.3 times while skin is visibly more radiant.

The design and specifications of ASTALIFT Jelly Aquarysta's container has also been renewed. The container now features a more relaxed and sophisticated design in a beautiful red tone, the brand colour of the ASTALIFT range.

ASTALIFT Jelly Aquarysta is priced at RM368.88 for 40g and RM496.08 for 60g, inclusive of 6% GST.

Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Hair & Body Collection the Beauty Solutions from Nature by Guardian

Guardian, the largest pharmacy, health and beauty retail chain in Malaysia has introduced the new Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Hair & Body Collection for eco-conscious consumers who prefer effective beauty solutions with ingredients harvested from nature. The collection was launched at Core Gallery recently with an exhibition and gallery tour of the exotic ingredients and production process, that showcased the range as a work of art.

The Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Hair & Body range gets its name from the combination of three 100% eco-certified exotic oils that are the next wave in moisturising hair and skin care - Babassu Oil from Latin America, Baobab Oil from Africa and Chufa Oil from France. The Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Collection is believed to be among the first hair and body care ranges to harness the power of these exotic oils. Given the long hours spent in dry and humid environment, skin care in the tropics needs the added boost of moisturisers, which is why every variant in the Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Collection is further enriched with two additional moisturisers for five times the moisturising benefits.

All three variants for both Body Wash and hair care range of Hair Shampoo, Hair Conditioner and one amazing Hair Elixir are formulated with botanical ingredients, enriched with Trio Oil. Made with eco-certified ingredients and dermatologicallytested and proven, Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Collection is gentle and effective to suit consumers who want spa or salon results at home, without the harshness of harmful chemicals namely Parabens, Silicone, Soap, Colorant, Lanoline and DEA. The Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Collection is free from harmful ingredients such as parabens, artificial colorants and silicone giving consumers who are health-conscious and environmentally-friendly, peace of mind.

Babassu oil is ideal for hair moisturisation. It contains five fatty acids as well as Vitamin E and phytosterols which act as anti oxidant agents. Baobab oil is an ancient beauty secret of Africa. This centuries old therapy  is laden with Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids that promote healthy skin and hair. Baobab oil leaves the hair soft and silky while protecting it from damage caused by the sun and free radicals. Baobab oil is also an excellent skin moisturiser, which absorbs quickly into the skin.

Chufa oil is a mainstay of Mediterranean beauty.By containing Omega 6 and 9 as well as Vitamin E, chufa oil is rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals to preserve a more youthful appearance. The Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Bath Collection consists of three variants to suit different targeted and intensive needs, namely Whitening, Moisturising and Gentle Cleansing. Consider the Whitening variant if uneven skin tone or dark patches are a problem, as it is enriched with apricot kernels and licorice extracts, to gently exfoliate skin while evening out skin tone. Opt for the Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Moisturising variant if long hours in dry environments such as air-conditioned workplaces leave skin dry. It has added olive oil and Vitamin E to boost the moisturising effects of Trio Oil, improve skin elasticity as well as provide satin care for dry skin. The Gentle Cleansing variant with cherry blossom extract is ideal as it helps in skin softening and prevents skin dryness. 

Three variants are also available for the Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Collection that provides salon quality results, minus the harshness of paraben, artificial colorants  and silicone on hair and scalp. The collection provides effective solutions to common hair problems such as frizzy, damaged, and weak hair that is prone tofalling due to breakage. It is silicone-free for relaxing shampoo and conditioning experience.

To tame coarse and frizzy hair opt for the Smooth & Silky Shampoo and Conditioner variant that adds calendula extract to the moisturising power of Trio Oil to condition hair for a smoother and more manageable texture.

The Repair & Strengthen Shampoo and Conditioner variant is perfect for damaged hair as the magnolia extract adds conditioning to the moisturising and smoothing properties of Trio Oil.

Enriched with sunflower oil, the Hair Fall Control Shampoo and Conditioner of the Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Collection is enriched with sunflower oil to strengthen hair and reduce hair fall due to breakage.

In addition to three exotic oils, the Hair Elixir is enriched with Chamomile extract to deliver ten types of hair benefits. Among superior benefits from Hair Elixir are moisturising and nourishing, conditioning, damage repair, detangling and improve hair manageability. This Hair Elixir also protects our hair from UV and delivers antioxidant benefits while maintaining hair shine as well as softening and anti frizz.
