Founded in 1939, the Guerlain Institut at 68, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Paris is a haven of beauty and wellness where art, craftsmanship, creativity, skincare and well-being meet. Originally designed in the magnificent Art Deco style by Jean-Michel Frank, with artwork from Alberto Giacometti and Christian Bérard, this jewel in Maison Guerlain’s crown is a true masterpiece and Parisian landmark, embodying the French art de vivre as only Guerlain can.
Inspired by the rich artistic history and creative splendor of the Guerlain Institut at 68, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, artist Claudine Drai has imagined a delicately poetic piece evoking the wings of a bird in flight. An instant of pure white ready to soar into infinity, now on display in the heart of the Maison’s historic Institut, where art, craftsmanship, creativity, skincare and well-being meet.
Introducing the launch of Michal Morrison Inc., a new, science-first skincare company poised to revolutionize the beauty industry. With its first hero product launch, Genesis βSTEM6™ Molecular Serum, Michal Morrison Inc. will define and lead a new category of biomimetic skincare technology with its proven, proprietary, and patent-pending βSTEM6 molecule.
This biotech breakthrough has a mechanism of action validated by 25 years of research in stem cell science and regenerative medicine from the laboratory of Dr. Michael Kahn. The βSTEM6 molecule will be exclusively available in Michal Morrison products. The company was founded by Austin-based entrepreneur Michal Ann Morrison, who previously survived a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2016 and has since become a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. Michal’s experience became her inspiration to build a company dedicated to science, health, and the well-being of our communities.
βSTEM6 is a nextgen, patent-pending ‘metamolecule™’ that restores the self-rejuvenating power of our skin that has diminished over time. The result of over two decades of research in regenerative medicine and recent advances in stem cell science, βSTEM6 uses your biology’s inherent potential to extend cell longevity. As the first and only bioserum with βSTEM6, this molecular superpower works with the skin’s chemistry to awaken the millions of cells responsible for healthy-looking skin.
A formal and independent clinical study was conducted by one of the country’s preeminent board-certified dermatologists and President of Dermatology Consulting Services, PLLC, Dr. Zoe Draelos, M.D. The study demonstrated dramatic improvements in the multiple signs of skin aging such as facial lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity and uneven pigmentation. Following the eight-week study:
92% agreed skin texture is smoother and more refined
80% agreed skin looks firmer and lifted
80% agreed skin looks significantly clearer
80% agreed skin looks more luminous and radiant
80% agreed skin looks healthier and more youthful
Founder Michal Ann Morrison experienced years of frustration testing countless skincare products that never delivered the results they promised. Driven by her passion for science and entrepreneurial spirit, she began developing her own brand with a singular purpose: to revolutionize the beauty industry by developing science-first, performance-driven skincare with proprietary technology that delivers proven results.
The inspiration for the development of the company’s proprietary and patent-pending intellectual property, the βSTEM6 molecule, was Michal’s association with Dr. Fuqiang Ruan, an innovative scientist with a doctorate in Synthetic Organic Chemistry who had previously worked in Dr. Kahn’s laboratory. Dr. Michael Kahn is currently Professor of Cancer Biology and Molecular Medicine at the Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope.
The Genesis βSTEM6 Molecular Serum is available on michalmorrison.com for $175 in a premium recyclable glass bottle. The Genesis βSTEM6 Molecular Serum is also available for $140 through a 60-day replenishment program.

About Mitopure®
Mitopure® is a highly pure form of Urolithin A, a post-biotic that is produced by gut bacteria after eating certain foods, such as pomegranates, though only 30% of people in the world get enough of this specialized nutrient from food alone. When ingested, Mitopure® has been shown to improve mitochondrial function by stimulating mitophagy, a process by which aging and damaged mitochondria are cleared from the cell, making way for healthy mitochondria to grow. Mitopure® has been favorably reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and deemed safe following a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) filing. Amazentis has previously published its research on Mitopure® Urolithin A in top peer-reviewed scientific journals such as Nature Medicine (doi:10.1038/nm.4132) and Nature Metabolism (doi: 10.1038/s42255-019-0073-4).
Aesop has reunited with James Russell and Hannah Plumb’s creative studio, JAMESPLUMB, to design its Cambridge store. Emitting a sense of calm elegance, the new store marks the third time the two entities have worked together.
Created with longstanding collaborators James Russell and Hannah Plumb, Aesop Cambridge is an artefact of the surrounding water and land. Proximity to academic and archival collections provided further inspiration – the store is a place to leaf through books in quiet comfort, enveloped in botanical textures and aromas.
After spending time on-site and exploring the location’s context and feel, James and Hannah presented many insightful ideas, along with a wealth of poems, images and inspirations. Notably, they engaged with Felicity Irons and her bulrush practice, which became a core element of our Cambridge space. We then worked with JAMESPLUMB in constant dialogue to compose, juxtapose, and collage ideas. The result was what feels like the essence of the city and a special place for Aesop to host customers. Marianne Lardilleux, Aēsop’s global head of store design
Like the binding of an antique book, the shopfront is the hue of well-worn leather. Using ancient and pioneering techniques, local plant matter is the interior’s primary material.
What stands out about the new location’s style is that the South-London-based creative studio was able to keep the aged architectural elements while also casting the space in a modern light. At first glance, everyone will notice the exterior’s rich worn leather hue that is complimented by a collection of pelargoniums that sit pristinely in the store’s window beneath the subtle Aēsop branding. Once inside, the store offers up a relaxing atmosphere with natural shades inspired by Bulrush.
Oversized shelves are made from English freshwater bulrush harvested and woven by Felicity Irons and her team at Rush Matters, who have brought this archaic and yet renewable practice into the twenty-first century. The bulrush is hand-cut from long punts on the River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire, then air-dried and sun-bleached before being braided into furniture at the nearby workshop.
Other shelves are formed from hemp – grown just twenty miles from Cambridge – pressed with resin. This warm, dense, tactile material is also inlaid into cabinetry, recalling the burnished surfaces of old writing desks. Underfoot, nineteenth-century floorboards are polished with two hundred years of footfall.
Amidst the serene shades and elevated rushes, is the array of Aēsop’s products, which stands tall on hemp shelving with its popular minimal yet enticing design style. Like some of Aēsop’s other locations, the new Cambridge store extends the brand’s cadence of crafting elevated yet tranquil shopping experiences. Come into the beautiful world of Aesop.
Decorté, Japan’s leading luxury beauty brand, is winning major accolades in the US for its skincare breakthrough, Liposome Advanced Repair Serum, launched earlier this year. The serum has been honored with one of the industry’s most coveted awards, Elle Future of Beauty Award 2022. The serum also recently won the People en Español Star Product Award and the Harper’s Bazaar Skincare Award for Best Repairing Serum.
“We are honored to be recognized by the team of trusted beauty editors and authorities at Elle who rigorously tested and reviewed hundreds of products,” said Sharon del Valle, GM, KOSÉ America. “These recent awards further validate that this bestselling product is not only a breakthrough in the industry but also highly desirable to the US customer base for the incredible results it delivers for every skin type at every age. The serum, powered by our proprietary liposome technology, embodies the best of Japanese beauty and innovation.”
Liposome Advanced Repair Serum was developed leveraging 30 years of liposome research inspired by regenerative medicine. This highly concentrated serum is for every skin type and addresses the top skin concerns of consumers in the US, including dehydrated and aging skin. New discoveries in proprietary mulitlamellar technology have enabled higher concentrations of proven hydrating, strengthening and conditioning ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and vitamin E to be delivered to the skin. Every drop of this intensive serum contains one trillion multilayer bio-liposomes (ultra-fine, 0.1 micron in size). Skin is immersed in 24-hour time-released hydration and immediately looks and feels smoother and firmer with a healthy radiance. Formulated for sensitive skin, the plant-based serum is clean, vegan, non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested. The serum also enhances the efficacy of subsequent skincare products that follow, and helps skin reach it healthiest state.
Japanese Beauty is trusted by the world’s most discerning beauty consumers as best in class for quality, safety, and efficacy. Post-pandemic, consumers in the US have increasingly been searching for Japanese Beauty (J-Beauty) due to its authentic, holistic, and straight-forward “less is more” philosophy. Beauty, health, and wellness are integrated in Japanese culture, and the holistic approach that J-Beauty embodies is very relevant to what the consumer is looking for now and in future years to come.
Decorté has been a trusted brand in Japan for over fifty years and known for its innovative formulas backed by science as well as for the unique textures that set the brand apart. Each step of the Decorté skincare ritual is created with intent yet simple enough to fit into a busy, hectic life. The skincare products, like the award-winning Liposome Advanced Repair Serum, are effective yet gentle and help to hydrate and protect the skin microbiome. Designed for all ages, all genders, and all ethnicities.
Decorté, the global prestige cosmetics brand from KOSÉ Corporation, is Japan’s best-kept beauty secret. Beloved by millions, the brand embodies the best of Japanese beauty, emphasizing superior technology, sensorial textures, and radiant beauty. In 1970, Kozaburo Kobayashi founded Decorté with a vision to create extraordinary products achieved by balancing art and science with tradition and innovation. Decorté Laboratories is a pioneer in cutting-edge dermatological research and skincare technologies incorporating regenerative medicine to achieve remarkable results.
Following its ethical and sustainable commitments, Clarins takes one step further in consumer transparency by launching T.R.U.S.T., a one of-a-kind platform base on blockchain technology to share full traceability of the ingredients that go into product formulas as well as the manufacturing process. Starting today with the latest product batch numbers, anyone has access to:
All steps in the product manufacturing process – including quality and safety controls, where and the product has been formulated and packed.
Exhaustive information regarding plant-based ingredients – including geographical origin, harvesting method and Clarins sourcing certifications.
Behind the Clarins expertise – via visuals and testimonies from our factory, laboratories, and overall facilities in Pontoise (France).
To make T.R.U.S.T. possible, Clarins uses the blockchain technology to ensure safety and transparency of the process. The blockchain technology is used to store and transmit information in the safest way possible as it does not have a centralized control system. It forms a database that records secured exchanges between different users (suppliers, producers) and once a piece of information is entered in the system, the blockchain technology certifies their authenticity, without allowing anything to be modified.
Clarins T.R.U.S.T. is an ongoing initiative and while not all products and ingredients are available yet, the list is growing every day for total transparency. 30 products and 40 plant extracts can now be found, and there will be close to 100 by the end of 2023.
By simply entering a product batch code on Clarins T.R.U.S.T. platform, anyone can have access to the manufacturing process and discover the origins of its plant ingredients: https://traceability.trust.clarins.com/en_US
About Clarins
Founded in a professional Parisian beauty institute by Jacques Courtin-Clarins in 1954, Clarins has become the #1 prestige skincare brand in Europe. More than 65 years later, the brand remains family-owned and is distributed in more than 140 countries – offering skincare innovations for face and body, men’s and makeup. With unique expertise in Phyto-chemistry, Clarins Laboratories are considered pioneers in the fields of plant science and technology.
The Maison values are rooted in an ongoing dialogue with women (and men), an abiding respect for nature and people, and commitments to sustainable sourcing, including Le Domaine Clarins – their organic farm and open-air laboratory in the French Alps. Clarins is accelerating its sustainable actions to become a Certified B Corporation by 2023. Currently carbon neutral the company will further reduce its carbon footprint by 30% and become 100% plastic neutral using 100% recyclable packaging by 2025. Partners include: Pur Projet – over 618,000 trees planted to date, Plastic Odyssey – a three-year expedition across three continents, 30 stopovers to fight against plastic pollution, and FEED — over 38 million school meals provided to children in need by the end of 2022.
Products of American company DefenAge, founded in 2014 by a team of regenerative medicine experts whose anti-aging discovery became the heart and soul of its formulas, are widely recommended by dermatologists as a high-performing, anti-aging cosmetic skincare for visible skin rejuvenation and as a safe alternative for retinol. Today the manufacturer and distributor of the revolutionary, evidence-based, anti-aging products, launches its first skincare system developed for men.
Evolved from the DefenAge Men’s Skincare Kit, the brand’s highly successful and popular skincare set for men, the new Men’s Skin Provision is further tailored directly to men’s unique needs and expectations for skincare products.
The Next Generation of Men’s Skincare
The Men’s Skin Provision set is centered around the regenerative power of DefenAge’s proprietary Defensin-molecules, which naturally refresh and renew skin (US Patent No. 11,491,096). This scientifically-proven technology is an effective solution for daily skin maintenance, as it promotes healthy skin that looks fresh, energized, and young.
The simple-to-use two-step system contains a face cleanser and moisturizer. Through an innovative formulation, DefenAge discovered a way to make the new moisturizer, 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream – Men’s Formula, just as effective as DefenAge’s award-winning, clinically proven multi-step system, cutting down on time and steps and creating a more simple and efficient system for men. Formulated for men, the innovative moisturizer received an advanced inflammation-controlling system for smoothing and calming, as well as an upgraded super-charged moisturization complex. It also contains barrier protection ingredients, antioxidants, vitamins, and vital nutrients for skin.
We conducted significant market research about what is most important to our male-identifying customers and heard what they had to say about our Men’s Skincare Kit. Overwhelmingly, we found that men seek simplicity, value, and efficiency in their skincare. We discovered a way to deliver this without compromising efficacy.Nikolay Turovets, DefenAge’s CEO
The Men’s Skin Provision is priced below $100 for a month’s supply of cleanser and moisturizer.
Additionally, DefenAge developed a Men’s Skin Booster to jump start the skin for high-performance use once or twice a year. This system contains a full size DefenAge 1-Step-Mult-Cleanse and 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream – Men’s Formula, plus a ‘booster’ of the Defensins-packed 8-in-1 BioSerum and exfoliating 2-Minute Reveal Masque to optimize skin regeneration and cell turnover. The Men’s Skin Booster concept was developed after multi-year observations and clinical studies proved that this extra dose of Defensin-molecules promotes new skin, ‘boosting’ the skin to repopulate with fresh cells when done at least annually. This combination produces outstanding benefits for the look and appearance of the skin and overall visible skin health.
Find the Men’s Skincare Provision on defenage.com for a $98 month supply of cleanser and moisturizer. The Men’s Skin Booster retails for $134. The products will also be available in a professional formulation (Pro Exclusive Platinum Edition) through select dermatology and plastic surgeon offices, and med spas.

On the other, Clarins skincare formulas with high-performance plant extracts which respect the skin. The perfect synergy, for results you can see and feel, immediately after the treatment.
To leave the skin in perfect condition and allow clients to travel and reach their destination totally relaxed, Clarins has developed three 20-minute facial treatments for women and men: ‘Detox Time’, ‘Jet-Lag Relief’ and ‘Eye Must’.
