Beauty news: Augustinus Bader launches exclusively at MECCA

If you’re as much of a beauty freak as me, you’ll know the name Augustinus Bader – and it’s rapid ascent to ‘must have, no matter the price tag’ cult product line within a year of its release.
Milky-skinned supermodel and self-confessed "high-end beauty addict" Karen Elson showcased it in a Vogue video detailing how she gets ready for the runway, saying: "This thing here, Augustinus Bader, this is sort of like the secret elixir for my skin. This tends to be my go-to for all things”. And she's not alone: Jennifer Aniston uses the cream to get camera-ready on the set of The Morning Show, and Victoria Beckham keeps it on hand for dry moments (and has even developed her own products with the brand). Sandra Oh, Dakota Johnson, Hailey Bieber, and Margot Robbie all use it too, and me? I’ve just popped the cap on a bottle of The Rich Cream as of today.
The occasion? The official arrival of the luxury skincare brand in New Zealand, launching at MECCA exclusively as of today. The extremely efficacious-yet-lush, A-list approved brand joins MECCA’s line up of luxury, science-backed brands including Dr Barbara Sturm, 111SKIN and Dr Dennis Gross. Inspired by 30 years of research and innovation, Augustinus Bader is high performance skincare with proven formulas for results you can feel and see.

Brand founder, Professor Bader has been called one of the great scientific minds of our time. As one of the foremost experts in the field of stem cell science and regenerative medicine, Professor Bader developed a skincare collection grounded in a simple truth: the body knows best. Professor Bader has pioneered a breakthrough technology that unlocks the healing power of your body’s stem cells, a wound healing gel that unlocks the body’s repair code. Called the Trigger Factor Complex 8 (TFC8®), it features throughout the collection.
Augustinus Bader (the brand) has gone from the best-kept skincare secret to a global phenomenon, winning 92 beauty awards in just 48 months, including The Best Skincare of All Time (WWD Beauty Inc). So yes, the collection comes with a higher price tag, but it also came forth and impressed even the most cynical of beauty nerds.
