OUR NEW DAILY SUN CARE SOLUTION
Our delicate skin is exposed to incidental sun exposure every day, regardless of the weather or season. Whether it’s during your daily commute, sitting by a window at work or school, running errands, or heading out with friends, our skin is exposed to UV radiation. UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+: for everyday sun protection A combination of sun care and skincare innovation, our new UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+ is the finishing touch to every skincare ritual to protect against damaging UV rays. Non-greasy, invisible, and infused with skincare benefits, our daily SPF lotion offers everyday protection, all year round. Broad spectrum protection against the sun’s rays With broad spectrum protection that shields from both UVA and UVB rays, this sun care lotion boasts effective chemical filters that work to absorb UV radiation before it can damage the skin. Apart from sunburn and skin cancer, sun damage can also cause hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. The daily SPF lotion protects you from skin damage as well as visible premature skin ageing caused by sun exposure. A blend of skincare and sun care Our UV lotion combines sun care with skincare benefits. The lightweight lotion also moisturises and hydrates the skin, making it a must-have for a comprehensive morning skincare routine. The hydrating combination of Aloe Vera Extract and Glycerin helps moisturise the skin while the Vitamin E helps provide added antioxidant benefits. Lightweight, barely-there comfort The non-greasy, non-sticky texture makes the alcohol-free lotion ideal for everyday use as a sheer, invisible base under your makeup. Unlike traditional sunscreens, the UV lotion spreads easily and sits well underneath your foundation. The chemical filters that help protect skin from harmful UV rays do not leave a white cast, making the daily SPF lotion suitable for all skin types and skin tones.

The Australian-made sun care lotion boasts high SPF quality, developed in accordance with stringent industry standards and scientifically tested to ensure protection against high UV exposure and damaging UV rays.

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 fertilisers 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 maximise 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 moisturisation 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. *Certified biodynamic by the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia. Jurlique’s products and farm are not certified by or affiliated with Demeter® USA or Demeter International. ^Based on in-vitro study using skin cell culture for a period of 24 hours and 3 days conducted by POLA Chemical Inc.

FINDING BALANCE WITH CAROLINE GROTH
Self-care has many benefits, from lowering stress to improving overall health and happiness. It allows us time to prioritise ourselves and create rituals, habits and behaviours that support our minds and bodies. Ultimately, a little self-care can go a long way to help restore balance in our busy lives. In celebration of International Self-Care Day, we caught up with digital creator Caroline Groth, known for her inspiring health and wellness content. With her expertise, she curates engaging and informative content that empowers individuals to prioritise their wellbeing and achieve a harmonious lifestyle. Discover more about Caroline’s self-care journey and her top self-care tips to help restore balance in your life. Why is self-care important to you? “For me, my daily self-care ritual is non-negotiable. I need to have all these routines that I've set in place and all of these self-care rituals in order for me to be my best self. I do not feel like I'm functioning at my highest, most authentic self if I don't incorporate these daily practices. I also live with three autoimmune diseases, so I need to look after myself and take care of myself every single day.” What were some of the biggest challenges you faced? “Some of the biggest challenges I faced starting my self-care journey were rewiring my entire brain, prioritising myself and how I felt showing up in this world on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. For me, that meant cutting some people out of my life who weren't supportive of the journey or the changes I made. It was also about learning to carve out time and make myself a priority, which I had never done in my entire life. So that was a huge step for me.” How has the relationship with yourself and with those around you changed? “My relationship with myself has improved so much. I have always struggled with loving myself for who I am and how I show up in the world. Incorporating daily and weekly rituals into my life has helped increase the love I have for myself and also the love I have for other people. This means that I can be so much more genuine. I now have a full cup when I show up for other people, and I feel like I have so much more love to give..” What is your top self-care tip? "If there's one tip I can give you to bring more self-care into your world, and the one thing I absolutely cannot live without that's changed my world is meditation. Don't make it complicated. You can make it very simple. You can sit in silence and just listen to your breathing for a few minutes a day and build it up so you can sit longer and longer. But it does bring a level of presence into your world, both presence in the outside world, but also presence in your inside world." What does finding balance mean to you? "In the past, I used to be very rigid about my health. I'm someone who lives an extremely healthy life. I cook for myself every single day. I take my supplements; I do my movement; I do my daily practices; I do my meditations. But once upon a time, I was way too strict about it. Now I've created a life for myself which is a lot more balanced, where I can still go out and have a wine and a meal out and spend time with my friends, but it doesn't take away from who I am as my foundational self. I can come home, be silent with myself, enjoy my presence, and find peace within all of that. Finding balance for me in this world means looking after myself every single day by incorporating self-care practices. It means showing up for myself just as much as I show up for other people."

NOURISHING POKE BOWL RECIPE
Embracing self-care means embracing the power of nutrition to transform our well-being from the inside out. Nourishing our bodies with healthy, wholesome meals not only fuels us for the day ahead, but also uplifts our spirits and enhances our overall sense of well-being. Treat yourself to a nourishing poke bowl, recipe by clinical nutritionist Bridget Hunt POKE BOWL INGREDIENTS 1/2 x cup brown rice 2 x spring onions finely chopped 1 x cucumber 1 x carrot 1/4-1/2 cup frozen edamame 1/2 bunch kale (or can use baby spinach for a quicker option) ¼ - 1/8th x cabbage finely shredded 1 x tbsp olive oil 1 x packet seaweed 1 x avocado 100g salmon sashimi (can also use chicken, tinned tuna, tofu or protein of choice) Ponzu sauce (optional) Kewpie mayo Dried shallots METHOD: Finely chop the cucumber, spring onions (and any other suitable salad vegetables you may use), and grate or shred the carrot and cabbage. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the kale to the pan and turn it continuously with tongs. Add a drizzle of water to the pan and continue to toss the kale. The kale will begin to turn a bright green colour before slightly darkening. Add a pinch of salt and remove from the heat. It should take only around 1-2 minutes to cook thoroughly. Defrost the edamame in the microwave with some water for 1 minute and continue until warmed. To assemble the poke bowls, add ½ cup of rice to the bottom of the bowl. Top it with kale, cucumber, salad vegetables, spring onions, avocado, and salmon. Then sprinkle sesame seeds, seaweed, and dried shallots on top. Finish by drizzling ponzu and kewpie mayo over the ingredients. WHY WE LOVE IT Red Cabbage: Cabbage is a part of the brassica family, contains plenty of antioxidants and supports the immune system. Carrot: High in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, a super important nutrient for our skin health and eyesight. Avocado: High in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. All the cells in our body have a cell membrane called a phospholipid bilayer, and we need unsaturated fats to keep our skin nice and hydrated. Salmon: Rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are integral for fighting off inflammation. Edamame Beans: Rich source of plant protein, so if you want to keep it vegetarian, you can just add edamame beans. Seaweed: Rich source of iodine, which is super important for our production of thyroid hormones, that keep us energised, feeling good and able to tackle everyday life.

5 TIPS FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP WITH OLIVIA AREZZOLO
5 tips for a good night's sleep with Olivia Arezzolo Sleep is one of the cornerstones of self-care. It impacts us mentally and physically with a wide range of benefits, from supporting our immune system, cardiac function and metabolism to reducing stress and improving our memory and mood. Sleep can leave us feeling rested, rejuvenated and ready for the day ahead, but a good night’s sleep isn’t always guaranteed. This International Self-Care Day, we sat down with renowned and influential sleep expert Olivia Arezzolo. As a trusted authority in her field, Olivia provides accessible and practical guidance to help individuals enhance their sleep quality and overall wellbeing. Using her profound understanding of sleep psychology, Olivia offered us some top tips on how to get a good night’s sleep. WHY IS SLEEP SO IMPORTANT? “It helps rejuvenate and replenish you mentally and physically. 70% of human growth hormone, the key catalyst for cellular repair and collagen production, is produced in slow-wave sleep. So, if you want to feel energetic and enthusiastic and your skin to shine, you need deep, quality sleep. Mentally, we need deep-quality sleep because if we don't get it, our stress hormone, cortisol, can increase by up to 37%. This leaves us feeling anxious, wired, and unable to switch off, and that's after just one night of inadequate sleep. So for mind and body alike, we need sleep like nothing else.” TIP 1 - BLOCK OUT BLUE LIGHTS “Blue light is the main factor controlling our circadian rhythm, which therefore controls our main sleepiness hormone, melatonin. Research shows that those who use blue light-blocking glasses for two hours before bed can fall asleep 78% faster.” TIP 2 - USE LAVENDER “Lavender is one of my favourite remedies because it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which naturally helps us feel more relaxed, calm, and at ease in that critical pre-bed period. For anyone struggling to switch off in the evening, this is a game changer and should definitely be part of your bedtime routine. For best results—I recommend dabbing lavender on your pulse points or diffusing it throughout the room before bed.” TIP 3 - HAVE A SHOWER “When we emerge from a warm shower to a cooler bathroom, we naturally experience a drop in our core body temperature. As a result, our bodies produce melatonin, the sleepiness hormone. Melatonin helps us fall asleep and stay asleep, which is why research shows that showers can improve sleep quality and sleep quantity.” TIP 4 - READ A BOOK “Read a printed book, ideally 20 minutes before bed. Why? Because it gives your mind something to focus on, which can help you feel more relaxed in the evening. Research shows that stress can be reduced by 68% by reading a book, with the effects starting in just six minutes. “ TIP 5 - WEAR AN EYE MASK “Remember, light controls the circadian rhythm. So just as you need to block out blue light before bed to fall asleep, you need to block it out throughout the night to stay asleep, which is why an eye mask is a must.” Good quality sleep is what you need to feel your absolute best, so put these five tips to work for the best night's sleep.
