This beauty brand shared its top skincare secrets in honour of International Women's Day!
- Replies 0
International Women's Day is a time to celebrate women’s achievements around the globe.
It is also a day where we appreciate and pamper the women in our lives*.
This year, we're shining a spotlight on our favourite female-founded Australian brands. First up is a unique beauty brand that's proud of its First Nations roots*.
A Brand with a Difference
The beauty industry has seen a surge of Australian brands on the global stage, and it’s no wonder, our land abounds in nature's gifts, after all.
Today, Indigenous and First Nations-owned skincare brand Thirsty Turtl* takes centre stage for its unique blend of traditional beauty solutions and modern science.
Thirsty Turtl's mission is to create a skincare line that incorporates native Australian plants and clinically proven ingredients to deliver top-tier skin care*, especially for Australians with specific skin needs, tackling some of the harshest UV in the world.
The result? A skincare range tailored for sensitive and sun-damaged skin*, which fused the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and innovations of Korean skincare.
To help you get started, here are some of Thirsty Turtl's bestselling products.
Desert Glow Brightening Gel-Crème*
The Desert Glow Brightening Gel-Crème* is a lightweight moisturiser formulated with antioxidant-rich Australian tomato, green tea, prickly pear, and 5% niacinamide to revitalise dull skin, reduce dark spots and fine lines. Designed for sensitive skin, it provides all-day hydration and brightening effects.
Forest Therapy Balancing Cream Foam Cleanser*
The Forest Therapy Balancing Cream Foam Cleanser* is a silky, soothing cleanser that transforms from cream to foam, effectively removing impurities while keeping the skin moist. Enriched with Australian white cypress hydrosol and 10% glycerin, it leaves the skin feeling clean, nourished, and hydrated.
Pacific Dusk Overnight Barrier Cream*
The Pacific Dusk Overnight Barrier Cream* is a nighttime moisturiser designed to repair and hydrate dull, tired skin. This leaves a visibly brighter, softer, and plumper skin by the next day. It reduces redness and smooths the skin thanks to seaweed extract, 2% colloidal oatmeal, and grape skin extract. Pomegranate sterols, jojoba oil, and shea butter also strengthen the skin barrier and enhance moisture retention, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin and conditions like rosacea.
Bundle Up and Save!
The Thirsty Turtl Core Routine* is an easy three-step skincare set designed for sensitive and sun-damaged skin. This bundle is the most cost-effective way to experience the Thirsty Turtl difference.
Travelling soon? Thirsty Turtl also has a Minis Set* up for grabs—perfect for our grey nomads. At just $49 for all three, it’s also a great way to sample the products.
Understanding the Landscape of Beauty Entrepreneurship
While Australian skincare and beauty products made significant global strides*, in light of International Women’s Day, we wanted to look closer and consider those behind the scenes.
Did you know that in 2024, less than two per cent of start-up funding went to female founders? Even less went to women of colour.
Thirsty Turtl is here to fill the gap in the skincare industry*.
Celebrating Success and Looking to the Future
Thirsty Turtl, composed of three female founders—Ellen, Jasmin, and Alisha—has dedicated itself to creating innovative and effective skincare solutions*.
After being awarded a significant government grant to scale their business, they’re ready to leave their mark on the Aussie beauty industry*.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, why not support this female and First Nations-owned skincare brand* that's paving the way for a more inclusive and effective beauty industry?
Including Thirsty Turtl products in your daily skincare routine is more than just an investment; you are also supporting a brand that represents diversity, innovation, and the power of women in entrepreneurship.
Three cheers for Ellen, Jasmin, and Alisha; and happy International Women’s Day to our members!
