DIVINE X ZERO<\/h3>\n

DIVINE Finds are a deeper dive into products, new and old, that we love.\u00a0 Our first in this series is ZERO by Skin Academy<\/a>, a new 100% natural, plant-based, vegan beauty brand from the UK that is now available in Canada exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart<\/a> and Pharmaprix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We love that the products are made with botanical ingredients that are certified as being 100% derived from natural sources.\u00a0 The fragrances are plant derived with a blend of sweet orange, chamomile, ylang-ylang, geranium and jasmine. But it\u2019s not just what\u2019s inside that counts with these products.\u00a0 The packaging is sustainable and every part is recyclable.\u00a0 Some products come in recyclable glass jars with compostable bamboo lids.\u00a0 You can even upcycle them by using them to hold your jewelry or office supplies! Other products are packaged in recyclable tubes made from sugarcane ethanol.\u00a0 The outside packaging is also recyclable.<\/p>\n

The range features six skincare products that cover everything from cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing for your face to a luxurious hand and nail cream.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a closer look at the ZERO line:<\/p>\n

ZERO by Skin Academy: What Makes it Different<\/h3>\n

Holly Wagman, \u00a0Head of New Product Development at Skin Academy had the following to say about ZERO:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a beauty brand developer, it was important for me to think outside the skincare jar and ensure that all aspects of ZERO products and packaging were as safe for the environment as they are for our skin.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another unique thing about ZERO products is that they were created to be suitable for all skin types and textures, even sensitive skin. Since Holly has dealt with skin issues, from an early age, it was a priority for her to create a range that can work for people with similar concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m fortunate to have been surrounded by business and beauty expertise my entire life, but what really inspired me to join Skin Academy was a desire to reimagine traditional skincare. I personally suffered from ultra-sensitive skin and eczema, and I learned in my teenage years that I had to be very selective with the products I used on my skin. My face was sensitive, especially around my eyes where my eczema was more prevalent. So, although skincare runs in the family, it became more of a personal quest to understand the origin of ingredients, their properties and benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is a summary of our thoughts on the product lineup. I used the products on my dry, sensitive skin:<\/p>\n

ZERO 100% Natural Face Wash 100ml<\/h3>\n

ZERO products are all natural and this gel cleanser is no exception.\u00a0 It contains a unique blend of coconut oil, sweet almond oil and sacha inchi seed oil.\u00a0 Here are some benefits of these hero ingredients:<\/p>\n
