If you're the pondering type, you might have noticed that our logo resembles traditional Australian Aboriginal symbols. That's because our personal Aboriginal heritage has been the inspiration behind Woohoo.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a pretty fancy name, but to put it simply it’s really just a large sugar molecule (i.e. a natural polysaccharide) that looks a bit gooey and sticky. It plays a really important role in moisturising your skin, keeping it healthy and hydrated. 

Phoebe here! Today’s email is a bit of a cathartic outpouring from me - I’m not quite sure whether I’ve written it for you or for me, but I hope it helps both of us, even if it’s in some small way. The thing is - this year I’ve lost some of my mojo and here's my action plan to get it back.

There are a select few ingredients in the skincare world that have cult status. They’ve transcended the fads and seasonal trends and are now the cornerstones of many skincare routines (maybe even yours!). One of these classics is Vitamin C.

Your skin barrier is a super complex ecosystem of lipids, acids, proteins and cells. But there is one part that’s just as important which is often overlooked - your skin's microbiome!

The cosmetics industry is far from perfect, and (according to us), packaging is its biggest shortcoming.

It’s just up to us to minimise that impact.

Up till now I’ve played it safe with my skincare experiments but this time I'm doing something completely out of my comfort zone… microneedling!

Soothes! Detoxifies! Balances! Nourishes! Leaves skin perfectly clear! Will even help you complete that tricky puzzle! When it comes to being a bit of a superhero, turmeric really is king. We’ve known for yonks that it’s a superfood, but now turmeric is making waves in the beauty world.
