An eco-friendly packaging renovation
The Rare Rose range marks the start of an eco-friendly packaging makeover with up to 94% recyclable packaging. All cartons are locally produced, made with certified sustainable materials that are 100% kerbside recyclable. Our frosted and translucent Rare Rose bottles are 100% recyclable, made using recycled content, while our droppers, pumps, caps and tubes are recyclable. While the beauty and skincare industries are taking strides towards sustainability, we all have a part to play. Opening up your bathroom cabinet, you will undoubtedly find a collection of bottles, tubes and bottles lining its shelves. So what can we do to limit waste and protect our earth? This is our eco-savvy guide to recycling and reusing your beauty and skincare products. Check the label A quick way to understand if your skin and beauty products are recyclable is by checking the label. The most common recycling symbol is the Mobius loop, which appears as a triangle with three arrows moving in a clockwise direction. Typically, colored arrows indicate that a product is recyclable, while clear arrows indicate that products are conditionally recyclable and should be returned in-store for recycling. Check the color For glass bottles and containers, another way to gauge the product's recyclability is to look at its color. Containers that are transparent, brown or green are the preferred colors when recycling glass. Check your local council to see what can be recycled Knowing when and what to recycle can be a bit of a minefield, with each country, state and council having different guidelines. Stay savvy with what you can and can’t recycle by visiting your local council or Environment Protection Authority website. Here you can find information on household recycling, waste reduction initiatives and return and earn schemes.

Nature’s transformative path | a closer look at Jurlique’s seed to skin process
At Jurlique, we’re proud of our ‘seed to skin’ journey. It is not just a mantra that describes how our products can be traced back to the farm-grown ingredients, it is a guiding principle that ensures the efficacy of our natural skincare formulations and our sustainable farming practices which care for our planet. It begins with the Earth Potent natural ingredients begin with preparing fertile soil at our farm nestled in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. We carefully maintain soil health using herbal remedies and organic fertilizers to produce high-quality crops and protect our local environment. It is our soil preparations made from herbs, mineral sources, and animal manures that harness, activate and enhance the energy of nature in our farming system. Guided by the moon Our farming practices are guided by a biodynamic* calendar based on moon and its gravitational force - this indicates when vital farming activities should take place to maximize the life force energy of our botanicals. The calendar governs when to plant, cultivate and harvest various natural ingredients based on the phase of the moon. For example, our Herbal Recovery Signature range’s Yarrow is grown according to the biodynamic calendar to enhance its skin-boosting properties. Thanks to its resilient nature, it is grown along side our Roses to nurture a healthy ecosystem. Hand-harvested with care We meticulously follow the journey of each seed by hand, recording each phase from seed to germination. We hand-harvest our farm-grown ingredients with the greatest care to protect their integrity and ensure maximum vitality is preserved. Hand-harvesting allows us to select the highest-quality specimens for potent and effective skincare formulas. When it comes to our exclusive Jurlique Rose hybrid featured in our Rare Rose range, its lush blooms are carefully handpicked to preserve its intense moisturization properties. Bio-Intrinsic extraction We employ our exclusive Bio-Intrinsic method in a three-step process that boosts the potency of our natural ingredients. We capture the three basic principles of a plant - essential oils, organic liquid extract and mineral salts - then reunite them to magnify its intensity. The first step, Purification, uses steam distillation to gently lift and release essential oils, nutrients, and liquids from dried herbs. The wet herb and condensate are then combined and filtered to produce a liquid made up of plant compounds, in a process called Intensification. In the final ashing process, the liquid is burnt to capture bare trace minerals, with the resulting ash then boiled, processed, and filtered to produce an ash extract. The extracts from all three steps are then combined which results in a product that is more potent than its original form. Full traceability and transparency To maintain the highest-level of quality, sustainability, and peak performance, we ensure the traceability of all plants from our farm in Australia to the finished products. Our herbs are tracked through a comprehensive inventory system, each individual product branded with a unique number, and packaging and parcelling completed just a 40-minute drive away from our Adelaide Hills farm. The benefits of natural ingredients for your skin We believe there are plenty of natural skincare ingredients that are equally, if not more, effective than synthetic ones. We need to care for our skin in the short term and the long term, which is why we champion the use of gentle yet effective natural ingredients when it comes to nourishing your skin. For example, our Nutri-Define collection reduces the appearance ageing thanks to the Spilanthes flower and its ability to provide a pro-collagen effect^ for a smoothed and plumped appearance.

JOURNEY TO THE JAR: THE STORY OF OUR YARROW
In Greek mythology, the herb Yarrow was considered so powerful it was believed to bestow immortality on those who bathed in its waters. According to legend, Achilles was one such hero, having been dipped in the Yarrow-laced water of the river Styx by his mother when he was a baby. Alas, a spot was missed – his so-called Achilles heel – which would prove to be his fatal weakness in battle. Yarrow’s Latin name – Achillea millefolium – still hints at this legendary association.We’ve grown Yarrow on the Jurlique farm for many years and its ability to promote smoother, firmer skin makes it a star ingredient in many of our natural-based products, including our iconic Herbal Recovery range. Here’s a look at the journey this plant undergoes, as it progresses from seed to skin care.Breeding more seedsWe’ve recently increased the volume of Yarrow that’s planted on the farm, and to do this, our first step is always to collect the seeds from our existing plants. We then propagate the seeds in the hothouse on the farm.Room to growYarrow is a perennial plant that’s strong, resilient and grows very quickly. We like to give it plenty of room to grow, otherwise it can “choke” itself. As with all the botanicals on our organic farm, Yarrow grows without the use of synthetic pesticides or insecticides.Carefully hand-pickedWe have a dedicated team that picks each and every botanical by hand. Harvesting of the Yarrow takes place in the springtime, and only occurs when the flowers are at their peak. This maximises the potency of their active ingredients, which help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.Drying for a continuous supplyThe Yarrow’s flowers are laid flat on large racks and placed in our heated drying cupboards; it typically takes around five or six days for them to dry completely. The dried plants can be stored for up to three years without compromising their natural, skin-enhancing properties, so we always have enough on hand to ensure a continuous supply of the best quality extracts.Extraction beginsWe follow our exclusive extraction method, to capture as many vital nutrients from our botanicals as possible. This proprietary process captures the pure, potent and active essential nutrients and minerals from the plants. The Yarrow extract is then transported to our nearby Natural Beauty Plant. It’s here that this beautiful botanical becomes a key component in your favourite products like our radiance-restoring Herbal Recovery Signature Serum.

SPILANTHES: OUR SECRET TO NATURAL ANTI-AGEING
Listen to our Farm Manager Cherie Hutchinson about what goes into harvesting and growing Spilanthes, how biodynamic* farming improves the effectiveness of the plant and what makes this botanical so unique. 3:07 2:16 At Jurlique, powerful botanicals, grown on our biodynamic farm in the Adelaide Hills, form the basis of our products. Each one is chosen for its skin-benefiting properties – it could be naturally brightening, hydrating, soothing or smoothing, and, we believe, look after your skin in the best possible way. One such botanical is Spilanthes. Native to Brazil, this plant is grown in our specially-built greenhouses on our farm, which simulate the hot and humid conditions that Spilanthes flowers need to flourish in. The seeds are planted in August and the flowers are harvested between December and May, the hottest season in Australia. As with all the other botanicals that we grow, Spilanthes are grown biodynamically. There’s a lot that goes into biodynamic* farming, but one element is that it uses the sun, moon, stars and planets of earth to bring about balance and healing - that means harvesting exclusively on days that align with the appropriate moon cycle. Spilanthes are picked on days when the moon passes through the “Air and Light” signs of Libra, Gemini and Aquarius; these stages of the moon cycle favor development of flowers, substance and colour through influence over the air, making it the optimal time to harvest. It’s a flower that we’ve had since the early days of Jurlique. Our founder Ulrike Klein discovered Spilanthes in Brazil in the 1980s and soon realized its high potency. In fact, all the Spilanthes flowers on our farm come from that very first imported seed back in the ‘80s. Thanks to the care that our farm workers put into each seed, we haven’t had to buy any new seeds since. We’ve always known that Spilanthes is a special plant. Firstly, it’s traditionally known as the ‘toothache plant’, due to its mouth-numbing ability when chewing (our team on the farm tell us that the actual flower heads make your fingers tingly, so they’re careful not to touch their eyes after they have been hand picking flowers as they have that numbing effect). Secondly, Spilanthes extract has a soothing effect on the skin. But it’s only recently that we’ve discovered it can also promote skin’s collagen production by up to 46%i, one of the key factors in preventing the appearance of ageing – which is exactly why it’s one of the key ingredients in our new anti-ageing Nutri-Define range. Discover the power of Spilanthes with Nutri-Define at Jurlique. * Certified biodynamic by the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia.

How to create a mindful ritual
Our hands hold a lot of power, serving as a bridge to our senses while connecting us to the world around us. Yet, in the midst of our daily skincare rituals, we sometimes overlook our hardworking hands. Incorporating hand care into your daily ritual presents an opportunity to show your hands some love while calming the mind and bringing a greater awareness to your senses. Here are a few tips on how to give your hands the tender, loving care they deserve: STEP 1 Wash with intention | The simple act of washing your hands can be transformed into a mindful ritual. Pay attention to the temperature of the water and the sensations on your skin, and use this time to intentionally wash away the stresses of the day. STEP 2 Nourish your hands: Jurlique's luxurious hand creams, enriched with farm-grown botanicals, are the perfect way to pamper your hands. The creamy texture provides a tactile experience that's both soothing and rejuvenating. Massage Jurlique’s Lavender or Rose Hand Cream into your hands, paying special attention to the palms and each finger, allowing the rich formulation to absorb deeply, leaving your hands soft, smooth and revitalized. STEP 3 Show your cuticles some love: Jurlique’s multi-purpose Rare Rose Face Oil, infused with Jurlique Rose Extract and a blend of plant oils, is the perfect way to nourish your cuticles. Using only a couple of drops, use your thumb to press the oil gently along the base of each nail. STEP 4 Hand massage: Take a self-care moment each day and indulge in a mini hand massage. Using Jurlique's Citrus or Jasmine Hand Cream, begin by rubbing your palms together to generate heat, then gently knead each finger and the spaces between them. Finish with soothing strokes along the back of your hand, allowing tension to melt away. Incorporating hand care into your daily ritual is an act of self-care that extends far beyond skincare. It's an opportunity to nurture your hands, calm your mind, and awaken your senses. By infusing intention, nourishment, and touch into this simple ritual, you can help improve your wellbeing and celebrate the remarkable power of touch.
