25.01.2022 Want brighter skin? For healthier, smoother, brighter, more glowy skin, Vitamin C is one of the best ingredients to add to your skin care routine. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, and works to protect skin from UV damage and pollution, reduce skin inflammation, clear irregular pigmentation and promote healthy collagen production. The easiest way to incorporate this product into your routine is in the form of a serum or moisturising cream. While many on the market contain ...petroleum based synthetic chemicals, like PEGs, parabens, and phthalates, (known to be associated with increased risk of cancer), as well as palm derived ingredients (the production of which is a significant contributor to global warming), natural alternatives do exist and perform just as well. Read on for our favourite and award-winning Vitamin C packed products that are safe for you and our planet and sure to leave your skin looking bright and happy.

16.01.2022 Did you know that Biome is 100% free from all palm oil? Biome's mission from day one has been to be a part of the solution to the world's environmental problems. Since we began in 2003, we have spoken out about palm oil. As a result of taking bold action in May 2017 for Biome stores to be 100% free from palm oil, a chain reaction is happening. Now, other Australian stores are talking about palm! We are proud that our action is helping make palm oil matter. What we offer are... brands that have gone to extra lengths to find a different way of doing things. We seek out brands that use simple, close-to-nature ingredients, so that you have peace of mind about exactly what is in the products. Together we can make palm oil matter! The only sure way to help reduce the destruction caused by palm oil cultivation is to avoid all palm oil, including that claimed to be sustainable". One easy way to do that is support the wonderful brands that can be found at Biome! Visit our website to learn more > www.biome.com.au/content/25-palm-oil
