Santa Barbara, Calif. (11/18/2025) – Wellness doesn’t always start with a gym or a goal. Sometimes, it starts with someone showing up at your door. Expond has launched Wellness Walks, an on-demand service that pairs Santa Barbara locals with trusted wellness providers for safe, guided walks focused on movement, conversation, and human connection.

Even in a city known for sunshine and beauty, many residents spend most of their time indoors, working, recovering, or simply feeling stuck. That feeling can become even harder during the holiday season, when routines slow down and social connections fade. Wellness Walks is designed to help ease those holiday blues by giving people a simple way to get outside, move, and reconnect.

“We built Wellness Walks to make it easy for people to move again and feel connected,” said Jason Baker, founder of Expond. “It’s simple, but a friendly face at your door and a safe walk outside changes everything.”

Each Wellness Walk begins at the client’s home or a nearby location and lasts up to 45 minutes. All Expond providers are vetted professionals such as yoga instructors, massage therapists, personal trainers, and sound healers who share one thing in common: they love people.

Wellness Walks offers a welcoming, community-based way for people to move more and feel more connected. The California Department of Aging reports that nearly 40 percent of older adults experience loneliness or isolation, and walking with someone you trust can be one of the simplest ways to lift mood and improve well-being.

Expond hopes the program will inspire small yet meaningful changes in people’s routines, one step, one walk, and one conversation at a time.

Wellness Walks is now available across Santa Barbara. To learn more or to schedule a walk, visit goexpond.com/walk.

About Expond

Expond connects communities with vetted wellness professionals through services such as personal training, in-home massage, and now Wellness Walks. The company’s mission is simple: make wellness easier to access, one genuine connection at a time.

admin 0 Comments

Syren Spreads has debuted what it calls the world’s first spoonable adaptogenic and botanical beauty chocolate, set to launch 1 December 2025.

The new edible beauty brand, which has recently launched into the functional food and wellness space, aims to transform traditional supplement routines into indulgent, sensory-driven self-care experiences.

At a time when many consumers are showing signs of ‘pill fatigue’, Syren Spreads offers an alternative: a spoonable, chef-crafted chocolate hazelnut spread infused with 2,400mg of research-backed adaptogens per serving, including Tremella Mushroom, Astragalus Root, Gotu Kola and Bamboo Silica. The result is a beauty from within supplement designed to nourish skin health, hydration and radiance, while tasting like a dessert.

The spread’s chocolate hazelnut base delivers a smooth texture without a herbal aftertaste, ideal for consumers who want both functional efficacy and sensory pleasure.

Each serving is vegan, non-GMO and low in sugar and can be enjoyed straight from the tub or incorporated into smoothies or on toast or snacks.

The spread will be available nationwide from 1 December via the Syren Spread’s website.

SEIWA launches iVC 3GA-green, a 100% plant-derived sustainable anti-ageing vitamin

SEIWA launches iVC 3GA-green, a 100% plant-derived sustainable anti-ageing vitamin

admin 0 Comments

Property 


１．Vitamin C derivative best for vitamin C-concentrated cosmetics 

２．Multifaceted anti-aging care 

３．Sustainable and Eco-friendly 


Background 


Vitamin C is known as a beauty ingredient that addresses various skin problems such as brightening, pores and  acne. In recent years, as the growing trend of well-ageing and “Morning C, Evening A” routine have spread via social media and word of mouth, vitamin C-concentrated skincare products have become highly popular  worldwide. However, developing such products is challenging because of vitamin C’s tendency for discolouration and odour change over time, as well as formulation instability. As a result, the amount of vitamin C often has to  be limited, which can make it difficult to achieve sufficient skin benefits. 

 

We believe that the key to maximising the benefits of high-concentration vitamin C is improving its stability, thus we developed iVC™ 3GA-green, a vitamin C derivative* combining stability, skin care benefits and sustained efficacy through our original patented technology. Because iVC™ 3GA-green has excellent stability,  exhibits less discolouration over time and maintains a high residual rate (Figure 1), it is the most suitable ingredient  for high-concentration vitamin C serums or cosmetics. 


Stability: the most suitable vitamin C derivative for high-concentration cosmetics (Figure 1) 




In terms of the skin care benefits, iVC™ 3GA-green exerts comprehensive anti-aging effects (Figure 2) through multiple mechanisms, such as anti-photoaging effect, promotion of collagen production, and inhibition  of melanin synthesis. Furthermore, it is a 100% plant-derived sustainable ingredient (Figure 3) that minimises  environmental burden even during the manufacturing process.

How to use iVC™ 3GA-green 


iVC™ 3GA-green can be used in a wide range of formulations, including skincare, base make-up and sun care  products. Its high stability makes it especially suitable for high-concentration vitamin C serums and cosmetics.  Furthermore, as a sustainable vitamin C derivative, it supports next-generation skincare concepts such as “high concentrated vitamin C × 100% plant-derived” and “high-performance × ethical.” 


Product information 


  • Product name：iVC™ 3GA-green 

  • INCI name：3-Glyceryl Ascorbate, Pentylene Glycol, Water 


* A compound that integrates a functional group into vitamin C

Honasa launches a new skincare brand Luminéve

Honasa launches a new skincare brand Luminéve

admin 0 Comments

Honasa Consumer has introduced Luminéve, a new skincare brand developed around the science of the skin’s nocturnal repair cycle and circadian rhythm. Marking the company’s entry into the prestige skincare category, the brand focuses exclusively on night-time skincare routines. Luminéve is available exclusively on Nykaa.

Built on the understanding that the skin’s renewal processes accelerate during the night, the range is formulated to align with the skin’s natural repair rhythm. Each product is developed to enhance absorption, recovery, and hydration during the night, when the skin is most receptive to treatment.

At the core of the formulations is the brand’s proprietary Advanced NightRenew Complex™, which combines active ingredients and botanicals such as Collagen & Peptides, Niacinamide, Polyglutamic Acid, Cica (Madecassoside), Bisabolol, and Licorice. The actives are encapsulated for time-release delivery that complements the skin’s circadian cycle.

Ghazal Alagh, co-founder and chief innovation officer, Honasa Consumer said: “Night skincare has long been treated as an extension of day routines, but the skin doesn’t follow our convenience; it follows its own biology. During the day, the skin is in defence mode, shielding itself from stressors. At night, it shifts into repair and regeneration mode, it absorbs better, loses more moisture and responds most effectively to targeted treatment. Luminéve is built to respect this science. It is purposeful, precise and designed for the time when skin naturally repairs the most, across different skin types.”

The debut collection features clinically tested night moisturisers for six distinct skin types, along with overnight serums that use liposomal technology to enhance the absorption of actives such as Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinol, and Salicylic Acid.

Developed by Honasa’s in-house R&D team in collaboration with Korean formulation experts and a global dermatologist, Luminéve combines functional science with sensorial design suited to Indian skin. The range will retail between INR 1499 and INR 1799 on Nykaa.
