Face Oil vs Cream: What’s the Difference?
Find Your Perfect Skincare Pairing Face oils are enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight. Once a niche category, oils are now a staple in many skincare rituals, celebrated for their natural potency and transformative results. At Jurlique, we have honed our face oil expertise through decades of botanical mastery and a commitment to creating powerful, nature-based formulations. As popularity grows, so does confusion around whether to choose a face oil or a cream—or if both are necessary. Join us as we clarify the differences and explore the unique benefits of each. The Difference Between Face Oils and Face Creams Face oils and moisturisers each serve unique yet complementary roles in a skincare ritual, offering distinct benefits tailored to your skin's needs. With a lightweight, silky texture, face oils absorb quickly into the skin. Rich with farm-grown actives, face oils deliver targeted benefits from elasticity and firmness to enhanced glow and brighter skin. A few drops pressed gently into the skin can deliver powerful results. Face creams, on the other hand, have a thicker, richer consistency and feature a combination of water, oils, and emulsifiers. They are formulated to penetrate the skin's outer layers, forming a protective layer that gradually absorbs and hydrates the skin's moisture barrier. When to Use Face Oils Each face oil is tailored to suit your unique skin needs and can fit seamlessly into your morning and evening skincare ritual. Apply a few drops of Rare Rose Face Oil to hydrate skin and restore your natural glow. Incorporate Herbal Recovery Face Oil into your daily ritual for firmer, brighter skin. Reduce visible signs of ageing with our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil, and soothe and reinforce sensitive skin with Calendula Face Oil. Face oils offer versatility and can be used at different points in your skincare ritual. After cleansing, try our 8+2 Mix & Glow ritual by blending 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ with 2 drops of your chosen face oil to help maximise benefits. Alternatively, apply as the final step in your ritual, or mix a few drops into your moisturiser for an extra hydration boost. When to Use Face Creams Moisturisers are an essential part of maintaining healthy-looking skin and a well-hydrated skin moisture barrier. Since oils can penetrate moisturisers, start with your favourite Jurlique moisturiser before applying face oils, or mix a few drops of oil into your moisturiser for an extra boost. This will help hydrate and lock in moisture. Our Rare Rose Cream slowly releases moisture over 24 hours, while our Herbal Recovery Cream instantly hydrates and restores vitality. Nutri-Define Supreme Restorative Rich Cream targets advanced signs of ageing, and our Calendula Cream offers comforting care for sensitive skin. Can I Use Both? Absolutely! For many, the best results come from using both face oils and creams together. This combination offers a holistic approach to skincare, ensuring your skin is nourished and radiant. Embrace the power of both, and let your skin's unique needs guide your choices.

5 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR SOFTER, SMOOTHER HANDS
During the height of COVID-19, hand care became a top priority as frequent washing and sanitising took centre stage. While those days are long behind us, they did leave us with a deeper understanding of the importance of self-care—especially for our hands. Our hardworking hands are often overlooked despite facing exposure to harsh cleaning ingredients, chemicals, and environmental stressors. Now is the perfect time to check in and make sure your hand care ritual is keeping your hands soft and nourished. Here’s how to do it in five easy steps. USE A GENTLE BUT EFFECTIVE HAND WASH Frequent hand washing is essential, but harsh soaps can strip your skin, leaving it dry and irritated. Opt for gentle, PH-balanced formulas like Jurlique Rose Hand Wash, enriched with Rosa gallica extract and natural botanicals that cleanse without drying. Its uplifting rose scent also adds a touch of relaxation to your daily ritual. Tip: Wash your hands for at least 30 seconds, paying special attention to your fingertips and between your fingers. EXFOLIATE TO REMOVE DRY SKIN We often overlook exfoliating our hands, but regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells, leaving your hands softer, smoother and more receptive to hydrating products. Tip: Next time you exfoliate your face or body, don't let the leftover formula go to waste. Massage it into your hands and cuticles to gently exfoliate dry skin. Alternatively, mix half a teaspoon of sugar with your favourite body oil to create a quick, hydrating hand scrub. USE OILS TO NOURISH DRY SKIN & CUTICLES Our hands are constantly exposed to drying elements, making oils an ideal solution to hydrate and soothe tougher areas like cuticles and nail beds. Natural oils absorb quickly to restore moisture without leaving a greasy residue. Tip: To keep your hands and cuticles soft and healthy-looking, try massaging a few drops of your favourite face oil, like our Rare Rose Face Oil. APPLY HAND CREAM REGULARLY Frequent washing and daily tasks can strip your hands of moisture, leaving them dry and vulnerable. A nourishing hand cream is essential to keep your hands hydrated, soft, and protected from environmental aggressors throughout the day. While moisture is key, remember to choose a cream rich in antioxidants to help shield your skin from environmental aggressors. Tip: Gently massage hands for a moment of self-care throughout the day. Use circular motions to release tension in your palms, knead each finger and the spaces between them, and finish with soothing strokes along the back of your hand. Choose a fragrance you love to elevate your ritual and awaken your senses. DON'T FORGET SUNSCREEN Many of us are diligent about applying sunscreen to our faces but often forget about our hands. However, hands are one of the first areas to show signs of sun damage, including dark spots and premature ageing. Since hands are regularly exposed to sunlight through everyday activities—whether driving, walking or relaxing at the beach—they require the same level of protection. Tip: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF to your hands daily to shield them from harmful UV rays and keep them looking youthful and radiant. Building a hand care routine doesn’t have to be complicated. With these simple steps and the right products, you can maintain smooth, hydrated, and healthy-looking hands that feel as good as they look.

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE: 40 YEARS OF FARM-GROWN SKINNOVATION
A HISTORY OF INNOVATION AND MILESTONES 1985-1990 | THE BEGGINING OF A DREAM Jurlique was born in 1985 when Dr Jurgen and Ulrike Klein set out to create pure, natural skincare inspired by the healing power of nature. They found the perfect home for their vision in the unspoiled Adelaide Hills, where they established their first biodynamic* herb farm. Their philosophy, built on three core principles—purity, integrity, and care—has shaped the brand we know today. By 1987, Jurlique’s dedication to farm-grown botanicals led to the opening of a purpose-built facility in Mount Barker, producing herbal skincare and therapeutic oils. It was the beginning of a skincare revolution powered by nature. 1991-2000 | ICONIC PRODUCTS, GLOBAL GROWTH & OLYMPIC PARTNERSHIPS The 1990s saw Jurlique take bold steps forward. We opened our first concept stores in Adelaide and Melbourne in 1991. And just two years later, we launched our now iconic Rosewater Balancing Mist and Herbal Recovery Serum, loved by skincare enthusiasts around the world. Our global reach expanded with flagship stores in Singapore and Japan, while wellness spas and treatments became central to our identity. In 1995, Jurlique was commissioned to create the Blue Cypress Oil for the Olympics. We were also named the official wellness partner for the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and the Sydney Olympics in 2000, providing over 2,500 rejuvenating treatments to over 10000 athletes from 199 nations—a milestone that solidified our international presence. 2001-2010 | SUSTAINABILITY & PRODUCT INNOVATION To support growing global demand, in 2005, we relocated to a 105-acre farm in Mylor, reaffirming our commitment to biodynamic* farming. Our efforts earned NASAA organic certification in 2006, highlighting our dedication to sustainable and chemical-free farming practices. By 2010, we celebrated our 25th anniversary with limited-edition rose products, paying homage to the botanical heritage that shaped our brand. 2011-2020 | GIVING BACK TO THE LAND & COMMUNITY In 2012, we launched our Tree Planting Day, planting over 15,000 native trees to improve local ecosystems and provide natural protection for our farm. This initiative reinforced our mission to give back to the land more than we take from it. In 2015, we released the Precious Rose Hand Cream, featuring Rosa gallica extract, to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Innovation continued with the launch of Activating Water Essence+ and Rare Rose Face Oil, expanding our portfolio of botanical-rich hydration products. In 2020, we contributed to South Australia’s bushfire recovery, donating 3,000 tree seedlings to restore affected areas. And, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jurlique supported frontline workers by donating over 43,000 products worldwide—an expression of our care and gratitude. 2021-PRESENT | MILESTONES & CELEBRATIONS In 2023, we relaunched our Aromatherapy range, pairing sustainable packaging with botanical-rich formulations. A year later, we revitalised the Herbal Recovery range and introduced Calendula Face Oil, continuing our journey of innovation in natural-based skincare. In 2024, we reached one of our proudest milestones by becoming B Corp certified, meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. This year, we marked our anniversary with the introduction of the Intense Rose—a stunning new bloom cultivated on our biodynamic farm*. Featured in our limited edition Intense Rose Hand Cream and Mist, it symbolises our evolution and commitment to crafting skincare that nurtures both the skin and soul. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE As we move forward, Jurlique is dedicated to advancing sustainability and innovation through our four core pillars: Planet, Partner, People, and Product. Our B Corp certification reinforces these commitments as we continue to drive positive change within the beauty industry and beyond. Our vision for the future includes expanding our farm-grown actives, advancing natural skin science, and enhancing our impact on both the planet and our communities. With every new product, we honour our heritage while pushing the boundaries of conscious beauty—rooted in tradition yet blooming with endless possibilities.

MEET OUR NEWEST BLOOM: THE INTENSE ROSE
INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST FARM-GROWN ROSE INNOVATION For four decades, roses have been at the heart of our skincare expertise, cultivated with care on our biodynamic* farm in the pristine Adelaide Hills. Co-founder Ulrike Klein once described roses as “the queen of plants when it comes to skincare,” a belief that has guided our commitment to unlocking the power of this iconic bloom.

In collaboration with renowned rose breeder George Thomson, we are proud to introduce our latest farm-grown innovation: the Intense Rose. A NEW CHAPTER IN OUR ROSE HERITAGE The Intense Rose is a remarkable addition to our rose family, joining a lineage that includes Ruby, a resilient climber; Rhapsody in Blue, a bold modern rose; and Charles de Mills, an elegant old garden variety. With its small prickles, large, vibrant petals that shift from deep red to near-blue hues and deep yet delicate fragrance, the Intense Rose is one of a kind, cultivated exclusively on our biodynamic* farm. THE LEGACY OF GEORGE THOMSON The Intense Rose is a heartfelt tribute to the late George Thomson, a celebrated rose breeder who dedicated his life to developing resilient, breathtaking roses suited to the Australian climate. George’s collaboration with Jurlique began in 2015 when he bred the iconic Jurlique Rose, the hero of our Rare Rose Range. His final masterpiece, the Intense Rose, celebrates his legacy. His passion and expertise will continue to inspire botanical innovation at Jurlique for years to come. A BLOOMING FUTURE FOR SKINCARE In celebration of our 40th anniversary, we’ve reimagined our bestselling hand cream and mist with the addition of our exclusive Intense Rose. Our limited-edition Intense Rose Hand Cream and Intense Rose Balancing Mist combine this rare bloom with farm-grown actives to hydrate and soften, enveloping skin in velvety comfort and a delicate rose scent. But the story doesn’t end here. The Intense Rose is just the beginning of the next chapter in our skincare innovation. You’ll be seeing more of this incredible bloom in the future.

HOW TO NATURALLY LIFT AND TIGHTEN FACE & NECK SKIN
As we age, our bodies and faces naturally begin to change. You may notice that the once-tight skin around your eyes, mouth, jawline and neck has begun to lose its youthful firmness — that’s perfectly normal. The good news is that there are steps you can take to age gracefully and maintain firmer skin as you do. In this guide, we take a look at what causes saggy skin, how you can prevent it and face and skin tightening treatments that can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance. What Causes Sagging Skin? Loose or sagging skin occurs when skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to a drooping or wrinkled appearance. Several factors can cause saggy skin, including: Ageing As skin ages, it naturally produces less collagen and elastin, two important proteins responsible for structural support and elasticity. Research shows that after age 20, the dermis produces about 1% less collagen each year. Over time, this loss adds up, and your skin loses its structural integrity, leaving you with a sagging face. Years of Sun Exposure Years of sun exposure can take a toll on your skin, especially if you skimp on sunscreen. Prolonged sun exposure breaks down collagen and elastin fibres, which can exacerbate sagging and cause wrinkles to appear earlier than anticipated. Weight Loss Losing weight can be a bittersweet win for your skin. If you drop a significant amount, like 45 kg or more, you might find it tough for your skin to bounce back. As we get older, our skin naturally loses some of its elasticity, which definitely doesn’t make things easier after a major weight loss. Illness and Medical Conditions Some medical conditions can make the skin saggy. One such condition is granulomatous slack skin, a rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. How to Tighten Skin Naturally If you’ve noticed a bit of sagging around your face and neck, there are things you can do to help firm it up. Firming Skincare Products A daily skincare routine with creams and serums specifically targeting a loss of volume can help tighten skin on face. Look for products containing peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinoids, niacinamide and vitamin C to help boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Our Age-Defying Skincare Range is packed with youth-restoring botanicals like spilanthes flower, horseradish root, rock samphire, tara fruit, red algae extracts and naturally derived forms of hyaluronic acid, which help to smooth, firm and restore skin naturally. Exercise Building muscle helps strengthen your ‘frame,’ which can provide better support for your skin and help reduce sagging. Strength training stimulates muscle fibre growth and increases density, creating a firmer, more defined structure beneath the skin. Although scientific evidence is limited, many beauty experts swear by face exercises, or ‘face yoga.’ Like any kind of workout for your body, face yoga can help tone your face and strengthen your facial muscles. Techniques like the ‘cheek puff,’ ‘forehead push’ and ‘neck tilts’ can subtly lift the jawline and neck. Skin Massage Treating your face and neck to a gentle massage, especially when paired with tools like a jade roller or gua sha, can help reduce that pesky puffiness, improve blood circulation, helping to leave you with a firmer, lifted look. We recommend applying a facial oil like our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil beforehand, just to minimise any skin stretching. Lifestyle Change Skin laxity is inevitable as we age. But what if we told you that there are lifestyle changes that could help roll back the clock on skin ageing? That’s right. Simple daily habits, like moisturising and wearing sunscreen, can visibly improve your skin’s health and appearance. Discover our complete range of face skincare, including moisturisers, sunscreen, cleansers, essences, serums, face oils, masks, eye care, lip care, hand care, body care and products for dull, uneven skin tone. And it’s not just about what you put on your skin either. Eating healthy, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and keeping stress levels down can lead to fresher, younger-looking skin. Making good choices like drinking in moderation or quitting smoking can also make a big difference over time. What Is the Best Skin Tightening Treatment? If you’re wondering how to tighten face skin instantly, cosmetic procedures like chemical peels, laser treatments and ultrasound therapy may deliver quicker results. For advanced sagging, you could consider minimally invasive treatments like fillers, micro-needling with radiofrequency or PRP. Just a heads-up, though — these might involve needles, some downtime and may be pricier than at-home treatments. Consult a board-certified dermatologist to help determine the best skin tightening treatment plan for your skin type and health. What causes sagging skin on the face and neck? One of the most common causes of loose skin is the loss of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, we naturally lose these proteins, and of course, things like sun damage and unhealthy lifestyle accelerate that. Less collagen and elastin means the skin is less able to snap back into place after being stretched, which leads to sagging and loose skin. How to tighten skin on face and neck? If you’ve noticed that your skin isn’t quite as firm as it used to be, there are steps you could take to help improve firmness and plump your skin. At home, you can start with firming skincare products that contain collagen-boosting ingredients such as peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C. Facial massage with your hands or tools like gua sha or jade rollers can get the blood flowing and throwing in some facial exercises, or ‘face yoga,’ can also strengthen and tone the muscles underneath. A healthy lifestyle plays a big role too. Eat collagen-rich foods like berries and leafy greens, stay hydrated, get enough sleep, exercise regularly and wear SPF daily to protect against sun damage. What is the best ingredient for facial skin tightening? Sure, there’s no magic elixir for youthful skin, but some ingredients may help tighten skin over time. Retinol and peptides are your go-tos for long-term face tightening, while hyaluronic acid gives you that instant plumping effect. Vitamin C is another hero ingredient, protecting against sun damage and boosting collagen production.

Behind the Skincare Debate: Toner or Essence—or Both?
Find Your Perfect Pair The essence vs. toner debate has been circulating in skincare circles for years. While serums and moisturisers often steal the spotlight, these two unsung heroes quietly play a vital role in achieving a balanced, glowing complexion. But which one is truly essential? Or is it less of a debate and more about two champions working together in perfect harmony? Let’s dive deeper into the benefits of each and how they fit into your skincare ritual. What’s the Difference Between an Essence and a Toner? At first glance, toners and essences might seem similar, but their roles in your skincare ritual are quite distinct. Toner: A toner removes lingering impurities after cleansing, balances your skin’s pH, and preps your skin for the steps that follow. Lightweight and refreshing, toners often address specific concerns like redness or irritation while giving your skin that first sip of hydration. Essence: An essence takes hydration to the next level. Its primary job is to hydrate the skin and enhance the absorption of serums and moisturisers. With a silky texture, essences leave skin feeling hydrated, revitalised, and ready for the rest of your ritual. Think of it this way: a toner sets the stage, while an essence amplifies the performance. Meet the Jurlique Champions: Calendula Toner and Activating Water Essence+ Our Calendula Toner and Activating Water Essence+ are the ultimate partners in your sensitive skin ritual, each offering unique benefits: Calendula Toner: Specially crafted for sensitive skin, this toner soothes and rebalances post-cleansing. Enriched with farm-grown Calendula, Manuka Leaf and Tasmanian Pepper Leaf extract, this lightweight toner calms skin* and reduces redness*. Activating Water Essence+: A hydration powerhouse, this essence is crafted to lock in moisture and enhance the absorption of serums and creams. Infused with farm-grown Marshmallow Root extract, it leaves skin hydrated, radiant, and ready to take on the day. While they differ in texture and purpose, both products are united by their ability to transform your skin’s hydration and radiance. When to Use One, the Other, or Both Your choice between toner, essence, or both depends on your skin’s needs and your desired results. Use Calendula Toner if: You have sensitive, reactive skin and need a calming, soothing step after cleansing. Its gentle formula preps your skin and leaves it rebalanced and nourished. Use Activating Water Essence+ if: You’re looking to amplify hydration, improve serum absorption, or boost your skin’s natural glow with a formula suitable for all skin types. Use Both if: You want the best of both worlds. Start with the Calendula Toner to balance and soothe, then follow with Activating Water Essence+ to deeply hydrate and enhance the efficacy of your serums and moisturisers. Together, they create a seamless ritual that nurtures and transforms your skin. A Perfect Partnership The toner vs. essence debate isn’t about choosing sides—it’s about understanding how they complement each other. Together, they form a dynamic duo that works to soothe, hydrate, and prepare your skin. Ready to experience the best of both worlds? Discover the soothing power of our Calendula Toner, and amplify your ritual with our Activating Water Essence+. *Clinical study of 20 subjects with sensitive skin, 5 minutes after a single application.

The Journey Behind Our Calendula Range
Discover our new sensitive skin saving range At Jurlique, we’ve always believed in the power of listening. That’s why our new Calendula Range was born from a commitment to address the real concerns of those with sensitive skin. From start to finish, this range was shaped by input and feedback from people who face the daily challenges of redness, dryness, tightness, and irritation. Our campaign also features the faces and personal stories of those with sensitive skin. Created with Your Concerns in Mind We approached the development of our Calendula Range with one goal: creating products that work in harmony with sensitive skin. We started by identifying the key concerns faced by those with sensitive skin—redness, dryness, tightness, and irritation. From there, we carefully selected a blend of potent farm-grown actives, using advanced skincare science to craft a solution that’s as gentle as it is effective. Hero ingredients like farm-grown Calendula Flower and Manuka Leaf soothe and protect from environmental aggressors, while Tasmanian Pepper Leaf extract calms and reduces redness*, restoring balance and comfort to compromised skin. Each product in the range underwent rigorous clinical and consumer testing to ensure it delivered real results. Clinical studies revealed that our newest members of the Calendula range helps reduce redness**, improve hydration***, strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier^ and restore damaged skin^. Consumer trials echoed these findings, with participants reporting softer, calmer and more hydrated skin, with sensitivities soothed and redness visibly reduced. Finding the Faces of Our Campaign When it came time to share the story of our Calendula Range, we knew the best way to do it was through the voices of the very people who inspired its creation. So, we turned to our Jurlique community with a casting call for people who have experienced the challenges of sensitive skin. What we discovered was nothing short of beautiful. From heartfelt stories of struggle and self-care to unshakable passion for natural solutions, our community showed us the true meaning of resilience. The individuals selected to feature in our campaign are the voices for sensitive skin, sharing their journeys to help others feel seen and understood. Meet Sarah Walters “Dealing with sensitive skin always felt like a guessing game—I never knew what would set it off,” Sarah says. “The Calendula Serum has been a game-changer for me. It’s so gentle and soothing, and it keeps my skin calm and hydrated without feeling heavy.” Meet Jolie Chatfield " My skin can be hypersensitive when trying new products, so I've always had to be careful with what I put on my face" says Jolie. Her go-to product is the Calendula Cream. "It's so comforting and gentle, it always leaves my skin feeling soft and calm." Meet James King "I’ve always struggled with redness and irritation, especially after shaving," James shares. His top pick? The Calendula Toner. "It’s light and refreshing, and it instantly soothes any discomfort. My skin feels hydrated and balanced, without that tight or dry feeling."

By working with our community, we’ve created a range that addresses sensitive skin concerns with care, precision, and authenticity. Ready to experience the difference for yourself?
