Meet MotherBar:

New Proprietary CBD Mints

Reframing consumers’ approach to stress, MotherBar launches Moment mints featuring regeneratively grown, full-spectrum CBD available online.

MotherBar, a disruptive newcomer in the wellness space, officially launched its proprietary hemp-based CBD Moment mints created to relax the body and mind while challenging our mindset and approach to stress. The name, MotherBar, evokes a sense of comfort, love and support while offering connection and escape from the chaos of daily life. Moment mints are available for purchase on MotherBar.com at $65 for 1 unit of 10 mints. The mints are packaged in recyclable, plastic-free materials, and shipped in fully compostable packages.

“After I lost my mother, I took a hard look at my own life. I was burning the candle at both ends and felt overwhelmed and resentful,” says Elle Gail, CEO, and founder of MotherBar. “I was hard on myself and hard on those I loved and I just knew there had to be a better way. I have always had an interest in holistic health and found out that CBD helped calm not only my body, but also my mind. It gave me a moment to reassess, reprioritize and create balance in life. So I created MotherBar for other busy, overwhelmed women as a safe space to let go.”

Just prior to launch, MotherBar’s packaging was awarded third place in the Tobacco and Cannabis Category in the 2022 Dieline Awards. Designed by creative branding agency, Nice People, the contrasting design and typography of the flagship Moment mint’s blue-green colored tube with holographic foil invite the consumer for a moment of reflection just as the product does itself.

Bormioli Luigi Plays a Role in the Success Of Shiseido’s Ulé

The beauty company grew the plants used for the formulas at a vertical farm in France and selected jars and bottles from Bormioli Luigi, mainly from its green collection, ecoLine. The brand’s vision extends throughout the value chain, meaning lightweight packaging and décor using recycled, recyclable materials, manufactured in Europe, was the obvious choice.

“We have chosen to work with industrial partners that share our values. Bormioli Luigi helped us respond to our need for packaging with a strong identity that is ethically produced and respects the environment,” says Lindsay Azpitarte, the brand’s founder. It selected, from the ecoLine lightweight range, the Verdi bottle for In&Out Avoir It All Oil, the ecoBottle bottle in a 100 ml format and the 50 ml ecoJar. For the small formats in the range, the 15 ml Aphrodite jar from Bormioli Luigi’s ready-to-go product catelog was selected.

Containing post-consumer recycled glass, the customizable ecoLine collection allows for a 50% reduction in raw material usage — a 100ml container can weigh as little as 80 g. The products in the collection offer the same levels of shock resistance and high-end quality as every single product in the glassmaker’s portfolio.

Herbalife Nutrition Introduces New Weight-Loss Product

Herbalife Nutrition has introduced a new product, Fat Release, to support its consumers' healthy and active lifestyles. According to a recent U.S. study by OnePoll, the average person overindulges in unhealthy food three nights per week, and when a person is working to maintain a healthy lifestyle or on a weight loss journey, overindulging affects their health goals. This product helps trim the fat from food to keep consumers on track with their health goals.*

“Taking a stick pack after each meal or snack that contains fats, up to three times a day, can reduce fat calorie intake to support weight loss in overweight people who already incorporate healthy nutrition and moderate-intensity exercise+*,” says Dr. Simon Sum, DCN, RDN, ACSM-CPT, FAND, director of North America Scientific Affairs at Herbalife Nutrition.

The Fruit Twist flavor powdered stick pack contains 30 single servings and can be consumed straight from the pack, no water required or added to 8 fl oz of hot or cold water.
