Leading Beauty Retailer Credo Beauty Debuts Private Label Skincare Line: Credo Skincare

Credo Beauty

Credo, the specialty clean beauty retail pioneer, is proud to announce the launch of its own eponymous skincare line, Credo Skincare. The specialty retailer has raised the bar introducing a benefit-driven collection of skincare products focused on the #1 skin concern gathered from clients – hydration – while continuing to challenge and elevate standards for clean and sustainable products and packaging. A cohesive easy to navigate cleanser and moisturizer system meets wanted gold standards. A decade ago, Credo disrupted an underregulated industry as a catalyst for positive change spurring a tidal wave of conscientious product and packaging innovation. Now after accruing 10 years of customer feedback, experience, and data Credo Skincare was developed according to what they found matters most. Ultimately hydration was the stand-out concern for clients. And through in-depth analysis, Credo determined the top ingredient and search terms according to what customers want from their products to deliver that and more. Through their access to the best in business partners, they created results-driven formulas packed with clinically proven actives and sustainably- minded packaging - every aspect of Credo Skincare is transparent and powerfully effective. Credo Skincare’s first collection is comprised of two cleansers ($44 each) and four moisturizers ($64 each) that service skin conditions surrounding primary concerns - dry skin, sensitivity and redness, dullness, and aging - by nourishing the skin and protecting its microbiome through today’s most powerful active combinations. Their formulations are based on key ingredient search terms and skincare concerns. As well, each product contains the transformative power of upcycled vetiver root extract, ethically harvested by a local cooperative in Haiti. Vetiver root is an antioxidant-loaded, potent wonder grass that supports the protection of the skin’s barrier for a vibrant skin tone and a nourished complexion while improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of pores and wrinkles. Credo Skincare’s goals are to provide an easy two step, effective regimen for healthy, hydrated skin that makes customers look and feel their best. Clinicals have proven 27% improvement in hydration after 24 hours, 31% improvement in hydration instantly, and an improvement in the skin barrier function instantly and after 24 hours. ● Deep Thirst Hydrating Cleanser ($44): A transformative formula to deeply cleanse while retaining moisture. ● True Timeout Calming Cleanser ($44): Designed to soothe and calm sensitive skin. ● Deep Thirst Hydrating Moisturizer ($64): Provides intense hydration with lasting effects. ● True Timeout Calming Moisturizer ($64): Helps alleviate sensitivity and redness. ● Radiance Rising Brightening Moisturizer ($64): Brightens dull skin and enhances radiance. ● Rewinder Anti-Aging Moisturizer ($64): Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Beyond that as a retailer, Credo Beauty continues to drive the packaging and social standards that are the hallmarks of tomorrow. Every pump and cap in the Credo Skincare collection is comprised of a first-of-its kind PCR resin, including beauty waste packaging collected in Credo Beauty stores nationwide through Pact Collective, the non-profit Credo Beauty co-founded to divert beauty packaging from landfills. ● The Credo pump was created with Pact’s NewMatter material, a mixture of hard-to-recycle material or landfill and ocean-bound plastic. ● The first run of NewMatter pumps eliminated the need for 500 kg of virgin plastic (500 kg of recycled plastic used is equivalent to 11 cubic meters of landfill space or ~2,900 gallons of space!) ● Every 38 pumps eliminate one pound of material going to the landfill or ocean. “The benefit of listening to 10 years of customers' desires and skin concerns compelled us to create this line. Years of data drove the ingredient compositions of these products so that we could exceed our customers’ expectations for efficacy. Our Credo Clean Standard is already rigorous and difficult to attain but we wanted to challenge ourselves with how our own brand could take clean innovation to new heights from full disclosure of fragrance ingredients and packaging innovation to exceeding the minimum requirements to check certain boxes, Credo Skincare raises the bar on what is possible and what can become the future baseline,” says Co-Founder and CEO Annie Jackson. Availability: Credo Skincare will be available for purchase starting September 12, 2024, at all Credo brick and mortar store locations and on www.credobeauty.com. Media Contact: press@credobeauty.com About Credo Beauty: Credo Beauty offers today’s largest clean and sustainably minded beauty assortment in North America, across color, skincare, haircare and fragrance, partnering with over 120 leading brands, such as Westman Atelier, ILIA, OSEA, True Botanicals and LolaVie.

Indian Spiritual Leader Morari Bapu Dedicates Ram Katha at the United Nations to the Organisation for World Peace

Morari Bapu

Morari Bapu today dedicated his nine-day-long spiritual event at the United Nations Headquarters to the organization and prayed for world peace. After concluding the discourse, he walked to the General Assembly of the UN, where he placed the Ram Charita Manas (Ramayana) of Goswami Tulsidas and chanted the Vedic hymn: Om Sarve BhavantuSukhinah Sarve Santu Niraamayaah | Sarve BhadraanniPashyantu Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet | (Om, May All be Happy, May All be Free from Illness. May All See what is Auspicious, May no one Suffer.) The leading light of Hindu Vedic Sanatana Dharma then chanted the name of his discourse, “VasudhaivaKutumbakam,” followed by the holy greeting of ‘Jai Siya Ram’. VasudhaivaKutumbakam is a Sanskrit phrase found in Hindu sacred texts such as the Maha Upanishad, meaning "The World Is One Family." Morari Bapu held a spiritual and historic nine-day Ram Katha discourse (narration of Ramayana) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York; a first-of-its-kind event by any spiritual leader. The event took place between July 27 – August 04, 2024. The Hindu spiritual guru said that the main and special shrotas (listeners) of this discourse were the five elements – sky, water, earth, air, and fire. During the course of the week, Morari Bapu met the UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed, who said, “While you had circumambulated the United Nations Headquarters building earlier, you are now at its heart.” She added that the event had bolstered efforts to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Morari Bapu reciprocated the warm sentiment by communicating that his “Vyaspeetha will always be with the UNO program for world peace, world progress, and world happiness.” Many years ago, Bapu had walked around the UN Headquarters while chanting the holy name. This time, he repeatedly emphasised that world leaders must rise above petty interests and make a full effort to end wars that are on in Israel and Ukraine. Earlier on July 30, several dignitaries attended the discourse, including Commissioner of International Affairs Edward Mermelstein, Deputy Commissioner of International Affairs Dilip Chauhan from the NYC Mayor’s Office for International Affairs along with Deputy Commissioner and Chief of Staff Aissata Camara.The NYC Mayor’s Office also extended the highest honour to Morari Bapu’s Vyaspeetha. Consul General of India in New York Binaya Srikanta Pradhan and Surendra K. Adhana, Counsellor & Head of Chancery at the Permanent Mission of India to the UN, were also esteemed guests. The spiritual leader’s teachings aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice. He cited examples from the Ram Charita Manas to explore how these SDG themes were elaborated and advocated in the sacred text. On the concluding day, Morari Bapu related the characteristics of Ram Rajya, or the rule of the ideal king Lord Ram, and how these too exemplified a model code of life that matched the principles of the United Nations. About Morari Bapu Morari Bapu, a renowned exponent of the Ramayana, has been reciting Ram Kathas for over sixty-five years. He draws from Vedic Sanatana Dharma, popularly known as Hindu Sanatana Dharma. His narrations are celebrated worldwide for their emphasis on universal peace and messages of truth, love, and compassion. Bapu’s unique approach draws upon examples from various religions, inviting people of all faiths to partake in the spiritual journey. Morari Bapu began his remarkable journey of reciting the Ram Charita Manas, a revered version of the Ramayana by Goswami Tulsidas, at the age of fourteen in front of a small village audience. Over the decades, he has held Ram Kathas in numerous cities and pilgrimage sites across India and around the world, including Kailash, Bhusundi Sarovar, Rakshas Taal, and the 12 Jyotirlingas which he covered on the train. He also conducted kathas globally in countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia, South Africa, Kenya, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, Australia, Israel, and Japan, attracting millions of followers. Beyond traditional venues, Bapu has also conducted Ram Kathas for marginalized communities, including sex workers and transgender individuals. He is actively involved in extensive humanitarian efforts including during the period of the Covid 19 pandemic.
