Herbal Essences has launched a new-look, transparent and sustainable packaging for its bio:renew shampoo and conditioner range.

With the new changes to the Herbal Essences labelling, at the back of each bottle, new information reveals what each ingredient is and what it does for your hair. Each bottle also explains what is not added, including parabens, colourants and paraffins.

Each bio:renew bottle is made from 25 per cent post-consumer recycled plastic to be reused and recycled as much as possible.

“Herbal Essences believes in the power of nature and plants, for the world and for our hair,” says Saint Tiu, scientific communications, Hair Care APAC Enterprise, P&G.

“People are looking for greater transparency when it comes to understanding what ingredients are and where they are sourced from, and now, with our new sustainable packaging, they can find the information at their fingerprints.”

The Herbal Essences bio:renew collection includes seven shampoo and conditioner variants, including:

  • Argan Oil of Morocco
  • White Strawberry & Mint
  • White Grapefruit & Mint
  • Coconut Milk
  • Blue Ginger & Micellar
  • Honey & Vitamin B Sulphate-Free
  • Golden Maringa Oil 

The bio:renew range is available at major pharmacies and groceries including Priceline, Chemist Warehouse, Woolworths and Coles, and costs $12.99 for each 400ml bottle.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
