THE EDITORIAL

TELLTALES BY BEAUTY DIRECTOR SARAH PARKER-COHEN

Welcome to the world of Christopher Hanlon®, Australia’s First Perfumer®. Let’s start with a warm-spring hug and greetings from Christopher, Peter, Jon, Nina, Ninyal and myself Sarah. Thank you for joining our conversation today. Recently I have been receiving an increase in enquiries about ‘fermentation’ the basic manufacturing process behind Christopher Hanlon® skincare. Fermentation is really just another method of making beauty products; just as you have multiple methods employed by the food industry, from yeast cooking to melt’n’mix confectionary techniques. Today fermentation is commonly used in the dairy and alcohol industries. Hitherto in cosmetics, it was a rarely used method. As we know Christopher Hanlon® was an early pioneer in its development, 30 years ago. Although there is an increase in companies using this method, Christopher Hanlon® Laboratories still decades of extensive experience in this field that sets their products apart, and this know-how has allowed the company to develop valuable trade secrets.

How does fermentation work in skincare?

Simply said microorganisms break down active ingredients and biological compounds at a molecular level. This process is particularly useful during the manufacturing phase. The fermentation process creates amino acids and antioxidants that help to nourish the skin, and also assists skincare absorption: nutrients, minerals and actives. Fermentation has been studied extensively for its role in digestion, weight loss and overall gut health, but what about its applications in skincare? More recently beauty bloggers have picked up on skincare fermentation hyping its effect to nourish and hydrate skin. Christopher Hanlon® fermented beauty products have been touted for their potency (compared to other products) along with specific benefits for skin sensitivities. To keep the story short and sweet, here’s what you need to know now about the science — and one reason why fermentation is becoming popular.

Marine enriched skin luminosity

Fucus Vesiculosus — fucus algae is a natural occurring seaweed that is rich in antioxidants that refresh and illuminate the skin. This ingredient is harvested by hand near the Gulf of Maine on Canada’s eastern coast and the algae has been observed for its firming and brightening effects on the skin. CHRISTOPHER HANLON® Laboratories use an aqueous extraction of fucus algae. It is designed to target the delicate skin around the eyes, the neck and cheek areas. This fermented ingredient visibly contours and reduces the appearance of dark circles and may help with sagginess. Results demonstrate a visible decrease in the appearance of wrinkles and crow’s feet, along with an overall more refreshed and youthful look. Discover Fucus Vesiculosus in 4 new and exclusive CHRISTOPHER HANLON® skincare products:

>H2O FACE MOISURIZER. HYPOALLERGENIC. MEN

>BLACK TRUFFLE SKIN TREATMENT ANTI-ÂGE

>ANTI-ÂGE LIPOSOME REGENERATING + PURIFYING MUD MASK. MEN

>ANTI-ÂGE LIPOSOME REGENERATING + PURIFYING MUD MASK. WOMEN

On a more humane note, without doubt the past few years were difficult to say the least and for many the after-shocks of COVID-19 and other global crises are still being felt. Our hearts and thoughts are with you all, as we pray for resolution and world peace. Although most of our supply issues have now been resolved, on occasion a company or person is impacted by an aftermath, and when this does happen it may affect our production capacity. In these rare instances please bear with us, as we seek to resolve the supply issue.

The rapid growth of online shopping since 2020-24 has been a blessing allowing artisan brands to reach millions more via global social media channels. Did you know there are now more SIM cards than people on the planet? 7.8 billion since 2017 in fact. The world is now truly interconnected especially as shopping for the latest brands has become a global disruptive online phenomenon.

As we have seen brands grow internationally, sustainability, safety and eco-friendly have become (thankfully) buzzwords in 2024, even being adopted by singing celebrities selling soap. In celebration please enjoy a discount on our Anti–Âge Renewal Oil for Men and Women. You may have noticed our improved Bath and Hand Wash Collection too. The range is presented in refillable bottles which fit perfectly with the decor of a designer bathroom. Finally some of you have posted notes about our editorial content and opinions, and want to know the low down on our editorial policy. Here it is, in nutshells:

Accuracy + Recommendations

We keep it 💯 with you always. Our content is thoroughly edited and fact-checked for accuracy, clarity, and fairness. Taboo faux pas in both advertising and editorial content are political statements, religious opinions, sex and lewd money matters. We like to keep it old school. We believe there are enough wannabe preachers spruiking divisive public opinion on everything: from what not to wear, what to eat, if you’re too fat, too tall, too short, over-rated (sXXXy), and even if you are under-texted… if they reckon it’s right and what N☠️T to Shhh! (say). OMG👀sh – just lock-me-up! However as far as we can see it is just INSTA-SMOKE. Therefore because there’s enough who LUV to puff out there, our editorial and brand policy is strictly ‘No Go!’ And it’s not that we are against being high on followers – it’s just not our cup of tea. Instead we prefer an extreme liberal attitude where all perspectives, religions, peoples, beliefs and situations are respected (equally). Finally we believe in only one supaST⭐️R – you. Hanlon’s® brand philosophy is about expressing your inner self – and turning that into an art form. It was never, and will never be, an industrial money making machine. That is the reason why Christopher Hanlon® still remains 100% artisan owned. Christopher’s brand focus has always been superior product quality never political presidency while our higher philosophy is all ways: HEALTH,PEACE+L💚VE. If we’re recommending something say a new lipstick, face wash or even aroma it’s because we, as a team absolutely love it; and think you will too. Finally I do ask of one divine thing though, during these trying times: Don’t Follow. Lead😇

Privacy

FYI we have a strict privacy policy. We care deeply about our clients and appreciate the total trust you’ve placed in us. We’d never slide your information off to a global parent marketing company (because, thankfully we are 💯% indie – so we don’t have one!).

Contact Us

Feel free to contact us, or myself that’s Sarah, anytime by tapping our Live Chat button – it’s totally cool. Nina and Ninyal are also often online, live. Importantly I’d love to know how you feel and what results you have seen with our products? You can also find us on Facebook, Insta and LinkedIn.

My name is Sarah Parker-Cohen and I have been a close personal friend of Christopher's for years. Although my media work has graced magazines the topic closest to heart is without doubt Australia's avant-garde. My role with Chris and his team is as he succinctly says: 'Beauty (& Personal) Editorial Director.' 

'welcome to THE international SHOPPING site for Christopher Hanlon. CHEERS TO OUR FRIENDS IN NYC, LAS VEGAS (NINON), LONDON, HONG KONG + SHANGHAI'
