Angle Baby ($20): The first eyeliner pen that rotates 360 degrees and flexes at every angle.

Prepping Your Lawn & Garden to Withstand Drought

YourUpdateTV

With the sun shining and the days getting longer, it’s the time of year when homeowners across the country start to plan, prep, and plant in the yard. But while many parts of the country experienced increased precipitation this year, concerns over water consumption and drought remain, and drought conditions are predicted to return and intensify in many areas. Recently, Experts from ScottsMiracle-Gro participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss tips to help your lawn and garden withstand drought conditions this summer. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/aWNaWJe73co Water conservation and drought are top of mind for homeowners, but many don’t know how to keep their lawns thick and green while reducing water usage. Here are some quick tips to help: First, focus on having a well-fed lawn because feeding not only improves a lawn's appearance, it also helps the lawn protect itself against drought. A well-fed lawn grows deeper roots to better absorb water and nutrients. Regular feedings of Scotts® Turf Builder® Lawn Food can provide the nutrients your lawn needs to look its best and withstand the stresses of heat as well as periods of drought and dormancy. Second, be sure to get the lawn height just right. Grass mowed at the proper height develops a deeper root system to better find water and nutrients in the soil. As the season gets warmer, let your grass grow taller than you might typically would. Finally, rely on rainfall as much as you possibly can. If you choose to water, wait until it’s absolutely necessary to do so, typically when the lawn is turning brown. If you’re a person who doesn’t need to water your lawn, it’s okay to let your lawn go brown and dormant for a short period of time this summer. If you fertilize regularly, your lawn should bounce right back. When it comes to gardening, it’s all about making every drop count. To maintain a healthier, more drought-resistant garden, start with good soil. Mixing nutrient-rich organic matter, like compost or Miracle-Gro® All Purpose Garden Soil, into your existing soil not only makes it easier for your plants to grow, but it also improves the soil structure. Good soil structure means better nutrient and water holding – water is able to penetrate into the soil, instead of running off, and is held where the plants can use it. Then add mulch. Mulch not only makes your garden beds look nice and finished, but it also keeps weed seeds from sprouting which would otherwise compete with your plants for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Mulch helps keep moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation and also moderates soil temperature by shading the soil. Lastly, water smart. When you do water, water deeply, directing the water at the base of the plant. Deep watering promotes deeper roots which better withstand drought. Water in the morning or early evening, avoiding mid-day, which helps reduce water loss from evaporation. And, if possible, use drip irrigation or soaker hoses in your garden beds instead of overhead sprinklers or a hose and breaker. Also remember to properly feed plants leading up to hot, dry weather conditions because healthy, nourished plants can better withstand prolonged periods of heat and drought. When you connect Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics Garden Feeder to your garden hose, you can feed and water at the same time.

WRINKLES SCHMINKLES IS RECYCLING THE ‘UNRECYCLABLE’!

Wrinkles Schminkles

Wrinkles Schminkles, the pioneer of the reusable Wrinkle Patch is now zero-waste through the innovative creation of the world’s first silicone patch recycling program, which launched in June in partnership with TerraCycle®, the global leader in innovative sustainability solutions. Now, brand fans can recycle their Wrinkles Schminkles sustainable skincare in three simple steps fully funded by the brand. Using a free, pre-paid shipping label, customers can send used products and packaging complimentary to a TerraCycle® warehouse where it is sorted, cleaned and transformed into something new. Wrinkles Schminkles started with a single product to provide a solution to wrinkle and line-refinement on the chest (thanks side-sleeping!). This year, the brand has a a lot to celebrate including their 10 th anniversary, TikTok virality, international recognition as a leader in non-invasive Skincare That Sticks ™, and now the ultimate gift of being zero waste! Founder Gabrielle Requena is delighted to have achieved this hard-fought milestone in sustainability after many years of being told that it simply was not possible to recycle silicone patches. “Since going viral on TikTok and significantly growing, at the very top of our brand’s to-do list has been finding a way to recycle a historically classed ‘non-recyclable’ category recyclable. Even my manufacturer insisted it wasn’t possible. I’m a big believer that aesthetics and ethics can go hand in hand. By pioneering the first silicone patch recycling program through TerraCycle ®, we are proud to offer our customers this simple and free option to ensure we keep our products and packaging out of landfills and contribute to our planet and people, like any future-focused brand.” TerraCycle® Founder and CEO Tom Szaky is excited to see that brands who gone viral on TikTok are stepping up to position a commitment to the planet at the front and center of their business. "For brands that are looking to meet the rising demand from consumers for sustainable practices, it is important to think consciously about end-of-life solutions for their products and packaging. With the launch of this innovative recycling program, Wrinkles Schminkles is demonstrating how brands can sustain success on social media without putting engagement ahead of the environment." To further prove what they promise, Wrinkles Schminkles has partnered with Provenance, the global leader in sustainable marketing technology that verifies all sustainability claims the brand makes. Look for the ‘proof points’ on each product page or read through the Wrinkles Schminkles sustainability profile on the Provenance website at provenenace.org.

French-Inspired Body Care Brand ABI AMÉ Launches With Hero Product Summer Skin

ABI AMÉ

ABI AMÉ, a new clean body care brand from France, launched today with its mission to elevate the way women take care of the skin on their body from the neck down. Jordanian-Palestinian Founder and CEO Yasmin Zeinab created ABI AMÉ after recognizing the gap in the quality of products available for the face compared to the body. With community at the forefront of ABI AMÉ’s core values, as part of creating the brand, Zeinab spoke to 1,000 women from across the world. Through these conversations, she learned about a myriad of unaddressed needs and pain points in the body care space and set out to solve them. Pushing the boundaries of traditional body care, ABI AMÉ creates problem-solving products powered by active ingredients that deliver visible, lasting improvements. “The reality is that when it comes to skincare, our face gets all the attention,” said Yasmin Zeinab, founder of ABI AMÉ. “We believe in adopting a skincare mentality for the whole body. There’s a whole suite of pain points in the body care space that hasn’t been addressed by existing products. That’s why we set out to create high-performing skincare products for the body using the same nourishing and effective ingredients typically found only in products for the face, that solve specific problems we know our community experience.” ABI AMÉ is launching with its hero product, Summer Skin, designed to solve a problem their community told them about: the heaviness and sticky residue that traditional lotions leave on the skin in the summer. A lightweight, high-hydration, serum-lotion hybrid that combines four active ingredients, Saccharide Isomerate, Oat Extract, Niacinamide, and Vitamin B5, Summer Skin’s vitamin-rich formula hydrates the skin like a rich nourishing lotion but feels like a barely there serum. Designed to replace traditional body lotions and creams during the warmer months, Summer Skin is a fast-absorbing formula that leaves no sticky residue while still providing the skin with moisture and hydration. “Everything we do starts with our community – we call them our AMIES (the French word for friends) – and that’s because that’s what being part of our community feels like, it’s akin to being part of a friendship group,” said Zeinab. “We are in daily conversation with them, learning about their needs and pain points. We make the products they tell us they need, rather than using them as a sounding board or testing group to validate our product ideas. Our product development philosophy is simple: it starts by listening to our AMIES.” All ABI AMÉ products are made in France, a country globally recognized as a leader in cosmetics and skincare, and undergo strict safety and stability testing per EU regulations, giving the brand an edge in the U.S. market. “We started ABI AMÉ by speaking to 1,000 women about body care and listening to their needs," said Zeinab. "Each year, we’ll speak to over 1,000 women as part of our commitment to this ongoing dialogue with our community, our AMIES. Everything we do starts with them and that’s the way it will always be at ABI AMÉ.” Summer Skin is now available to purchase exclusively at www.abi-ame.com. Hi-res images, interviews, and media samples are available upon request. Contact Details Six One Agency Camryn Carlson +1 818-748-7444 camryn@six-one.com

News Release

Herborium Group, Inc. (OTC:HBRM) CEO Discusses Future Opportunities in Tech-Driven Natural Wellness and Beauty Sectors

HBRM

Herborium Group, Inc. (HBRN) is a botanical therapeutics® company that addresses dermatological and other health and wellness concerns via its proprietary medicinal products that are supported by science-centered content. In an exclusive interview with the Capital Gains Report, HBRN CEO Dr. Agnes Olszewski discussed the company’s track to take advantage of promising opportunities arising in the natural segment of the wellness industry, particularly as it applies to skincare, and an important boost to this area of the market can get from the application of artificial intelligence. HBRN’s Approach of Integrating Medicine and Beauty The global natural cosmetics market is growing at a fast pace and is projected to reach $79.6 billion by 2033, with an annual growth rate of 5.1%. This rise is driven by the emergence of a new category of advanced, natural ingredient-based products available via conventional retail channels and online retailers, as well as the growing prominence of safer and more efficacious science-based beauty and wellness culture, which fuels the accelerated demand for natural beauty products. Dr. Olszewski said, “One of the most important trends in the healthcare and beauty sectors is the merger of clinical skincare with natural skincare to create safe and validated “hybrid” products that actually work while maintaining their natural ingredient profile.” Herborium’s acne treatment represents such a unique product. AcnEase is a systemic, all botanical ingredient-based, proprietary, clinically tested acne treatment for teen and adult acne, that also improves symptoms of an inflammatory skin condition called rosacea. Dr. Olszewski said, “We are presently working on the second generation of this clinically validated skincare solution that has better consumer characteristics -- broader application and simpler treatment routine -- and improved business profile, such as increased margins. The company is also approaching the most advanced science in clinical skincare - stem cell-based products. We are working to add two highly innovative products in this category to our 2023 and 2024 product portfolios.” The company pursues a cross-sectoral approach, aiming to use clinical testing in order to integrate pharmaceutical and nutraceutical market segments. Exploring the Power of Artificial Intelligence in Natural Skincare Sector Another strength of HBRM has to do with the use of pioneering technology as applied to the development of natural skincare products and a total solution that would address consumer concerns in the skincare sector. On May 11, 2023, the company announced signing a Letter of Intent with Adrecom, a US-based technology and e-commerce company with offices in North Carolina and California, to purchase and further advance AI technology that will power HBRM's natural skin health and wellness platform. It completed the first stage of designing this platform and is currently in the midst of testing and further advancing it. Dr. Olszewski says, “Herborium’s unique approach is the active use of technology in the natural segment of skincare and skin wellness.” The AI platform will deliver streamlined and more precise diagnosis, curated, personalized skincare counseling, products, and other related services such as nutrition and esthetician-provided recommendations. This step positions HBRM as a frontrunner in the novel skincare industry, opening up new ways for innovation and potential revenue streams. “Our AI-based platform offers an integrated, personalized approach to skincare and skin health,” says Dr. Olszewski. “At the moment, an integrated platform for natural skincare and skin wellness does not exist.” As medicine and wellness develop in parallel with advancements in using AI technology to support a personalized approach to treatments and more common wellness and beauty solutions, HBRM is a first mover in this space as it is capable of combining its natural ingredient-based products and relevant, cutting edge content with advanced AI technology. Growth through Partnerships HBRM is currently commercializing its products and has already established a strong presence in the United States, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe through a network of specialty retailers, distributors, and e-commerce platforms. With a well-established customer base and strong brand recognition, the company plans to establish new sales targets by building curated partnerships with other product originators. “We are presently in advanced talks with two companies—one from the US and a second from South Korea that are well known in the cosmetic and skin wellness industry for high-quality biotechnological applications in skincare,” says Dr. Olszewski. Conclusion Natural ingredients and the potential for an AI-driven personalized approach to skincare mean that Herborium’s products have the potential to gain popularity with consumers quickly. They are capable of connecting medical and beauty applications with a focus on natural ingredients, filling an important gap in the market.
