PIONEERING AUSTRALIAN LABORATORIES

Technological microbial skincare ingredients such as Lactobacillus Plantarum nourish the skin's microbiome system for dramatic youthfulNESS. THAT’S THE secret inside Christopher Hanlon’S® CULT-FAMOUS Skincare.

THE ARTISAN + HIS-STORY

What now appears as decades ago the first CHRISTOPHER HANLON® formulas were sold in recycled Vegemite jars from a market stall. Hand mixed in an Australian backyard using native plants and fresh aloe vera. Concocted using a traditional, fermented yoghurt based cosmetic recipe – a gift handed down from his mother Delia Elizabeth Hanlon. The original premise was simple, nutritious skin botanicals blended with soothing probiotics. The result: uplifting.

CHRISTOPHER HANLON® Laboratories led by the advanced research skills of George Damian Myers, have perfected this ancient art of cosmetic making using modern manufacturing equipment and an updated process his team calls Méthode Électromagnétique. What was the number one selling men’s skincare brand in Australia’s largest department store is today a renowned Australian luxury brand boasting an international cult following of hip social luminaries, entrepreneurs and devoted connoisseurs from Sydney, New York, Paris to Geelong.

EXCLUSIVE ORGANIC BIOTECHNOLOGY

The prized Australian grown aloe vera gel base (EFS™) soothes and repairs the appearance of all skin types using advanced microbiome skin technology. The texture is refreshingly soft and silky bursting with moisture. Skin quickly gains a visible sense of youthfulness and feels springy. Awakened.

VISIBLE FACE FACTS

With continual use skin cells appear to be re-trained to mimic the behaviour of natural youthful skin. Results can last a lifetime. Skin is visibly strengthened. Collagen levels look amplified. Skin appears plumper, nutrient rich, bursting with energy. Alive.

THE TEAM BEHIND THE SCENE

To get a fully functional consumer product ready for export requires a dedicated team of individuals who can manifest the consumer dream into a living functional product. The process involves design, prototyping, public relations, administration and finally manufacturing. CHRISTOPHER HANLON's® team consists of a tightly knitted group of professionals (from retail store distributors to public relations) who work under the creative direction of Christopher Hanlon®.

On average one drop of essential oil contains up to 150 active molecules. Importantly Christopher Hanlon® Laboratories do not sell individual essential oils for personal use because they believe consumers are not expert cosmetic chemists and therefore do not have the genuine know-how, responsibility nor capability to use these powerful ingredients in a safe and skin friendly manner)

This succulent plant contains a number of important components including: Vitamins A, C, E + B12; Enzymes: Aliiase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Amylase, Bradykinase, Carboxypeptidase, Catalase, Cellulase, Lipase, and Peroxidase; Minerals; Sugars including Polysaccharides; Plant Hormone Auxin and Gibberellin; Amino Acids including Salicylic Acid; Saponins which form about 3% of the gel and have a cleansing effect

TRADITIONAL ARTISAN TECHNIQUES

BIO-FERMENTED WITH PROBIOTICS

CHRISTOPHER HANLON® Laboratories have perfected the process of fermentation (Méthode Electromagnétique) by using modern electric stainless steel fermenting tanks to improve product ageing in addition to important technical input from WACKER®. George explains: "An electric field increases maturation times and improves the quality of our creams. During ageing the product becomes less acidic as volatile compounds react with naturally present organic acids producing a plethora of delightful compounds colloquially known as esters". These fragrant esters reflect the health giving properties of the skin rejuvenating botanicals. Unpleasant components are precipitated out and the cosmetic becomes homogeneous in appearance. Hanlon adds: "It absorbs almost miraculously. It feels super nutritious and alive. It helps to keep the skin looking soft, plump and dewy. Youthful". Strains of probiotics used in the fermentation process may include: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Plantarum and/or Bifidobacterium Lactis. This exclusive process of fermentation (Méthode Electromagnétique) results in velvety, rich, creamy cosmetic textures for vibrant looking skin and an appearance of youthfulness. Think ageless.

HANDCRAFTED BY ARTISANS

With a reputation for excellence CHRISTOPHER HANLON® cosmetics inspire a cult following from Sydney, New York, Paris to Geelong. These exclusive boutique therapies are said to be the ‘Rolls Royce‘ of Australian cosmetics for their rapid visible absorption, incredible after-effect and delicious organic aromas. Glaring publicity is often shunned in favour for discerning word of mouth advertising. In a testament to truth he believes ‘if you need it you will seek it.’ Perhaps even more comforting today is that they are still meticulously made by artisan hand but with a team of laboratory experts. Each piece is a Work of Heart.
