The luxurious department store Harvey Nichols will launch a new beauty and cosmetic concept store. The store will not only sell beauty and cosmetic products but it will be a serious big store where products, treatments and services come together. The concept will be name: 'The Beauty Bazaar' and they will open their first shop in Liverpool.

'The Beauty Store' in Liverpool will have three levels. At the ground floor, a selection of premium beauty product will be sold. Need advise? You can hire your own personal beauty shopper who will be at your service in the store. Ofcourse, they will not have 'regular' shopping baskets. At 'The Beauty Bazaar' you can shop with a shopping bag inspired by the famous Hermes Kelly Bag.

At the first level, the basic beauty treatments will be available for walk ins. You can style your hair, get a mani/pedi and some fake lashes. Next to that, you can relax at the champagne and cocktail bar, which should be a hotspot in a small matter of time.

At the second level, the more complex beauty treatments will be performed. For these treatments (botox, spray tans, teeth whitening and permanent make-up) you should make an appointment in advance.

Denmark | Phthalates
The Danish minister of Environment, Ida Auken, has decided to ban four industrial chemicals. Auken will ban the following chemicals in Denmark: DEHP, DBP, DIBP and BBP phthalates. The chemicals will be forbidden starting this fall.

What are phthalates?
Phthalates are used to soften and supple plastic components. For cosmetic products, phthalates are often used as a stabilizer or emulator for products such as hairspray, deodorant, nailpolish and perfume. 

Why are phthalates dangerous?
Phthalates are absorbed by the skin and inhaled through the mouth and nose. During several health studies, the liver, lungs and kidneys were clearly damaged. Different scientists at government institutions in both the U.S. and Canada agree that phthalates can cause serious health issues and even reproductive problems. It is therefore highly recommended that pregnant women, fertile women, babies and kids to watch out using products which contain 'perfume'. 

How can you recognize phthalates?
Phthalates are stated on cosmetic labels as: dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP). Unfortunatly, sometimes phthales are disguised under the name perfume, this often occurs with nailpolish and hairspray. 

Phthalates can be replaced by other, safe ingredients. Would you like to know more about this subject? Send you question to info@celeste-originals.com
