THE WHAT? Swedish sustainable start-up, Nowa Drops has launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to bring its plant-based powders that transform tap water into liquid body care to the UK market.
THE DETAILS Some three years in development, the award-winning innovation eliminates the need for single use plastic. The campaign will run for 45 days, offering backers the chance to pre-order a zero-waste hand and body wash.
THE WHY? Tommie Lögdahl, founder of Nowa Drops, reveals, “I believe sustainable living could be easy if we all work together, which is the idea behind Nowa Drops. We deliver our powder ingredients to customers that mix them with tap water at home, creating their locally-made body care. Being kind to the planet can be as easy as refilling our everyday products.
“The problem with traditional toiletries on the market is that they contain around
80% water, filled in single-use plastic bottles that pollute the environment. We wanted to eliminate water transportation and the need for single-use plastic by creating a water-free powder solution and a refillable bottle designed to last.”
Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
