Est.lab partners Seven Clean Seas
The home-grown beauty brand has announced a year-long partnership with Seven Clean Seas, an Indonesia-based social enterprise dedicated to removing plastic waste from the world’s waterways.
With this move, est.lab aims to play an active role in addressing the plastic pollution crisis affecting global ecosystems, and pledges to extract 1,000kg of plastic from the ocean over the next year – a figure equivalent to more than 58,000 plastic bottles.
In celebration of this partnership, est.lab is launching three holiday kits – Mistle-Glow ($260) to revitalise tired eyes, Sleigh The Day ($200) for jet-setters and Glow Up & Sleigh ($200) for self-care evenings – on Nov 15. These kits, curated with eco-conscious selections and in collaboration with New Zealand bath and body label Still Botanicals, offer plant-based skincare essentials with no artificial fragrances and savings of up to 29 per cent.
Every full-sized product or holiday kit purchased will go towards removing 28 plastic bottles, or their weight equivalent, from waterways.

Japanese suncare expert Anessa has elevated its Mild Series to deliver ultraviolet (UV) protection that is gentle enough for even the youngest sun seekers, including babies over six months.

Both sunscreens are also packed with 50 per cent skincare ingredients like peony, sakura leaf and ashitaba extracts.
