Luxury resort One&Only Desaru Coast is one of the most exclusive getaways in our region, just across the water in Desaru, Johor.
No wonder beauty enthusiasts and wellness aficionados rejoiced when the recently revamped One&Only Spa announced its partnership with awardwinning and cult luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader as the first and only resort spa in Asia to offer the latter’s highly sought-after facial and body treatments.
GOING BEYOND THE SURFACE
It is more than a brand; it is a movement. The good doctor, founder Augustinus Bader, is first and foremost an expert in regenerative medicine and has made it his mission to enhance the healing process for burn victims, especially children with serious injuries. In fact, he was only convinced to start a skincare line to fund his stem cell research and help those in need.
Naturally, its formulations incorporate stem cell technology. The key ingredient, TFC8, is a blend of amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and peptides, creating an environment that triggers skin cells to kick-start their regeneration process naturally. No wonder its products, including the star concoction The Cream ($445 for 50ml), are hoarded by celebrities like actress Margot Robbie and fashion designer Victoria Beckham — as well as legions of deep-pocketed beauty insiders.
The good thing is that the impact of this luxurious skincare is greater than that of skin-deep skincare. Besides funding continuing research in burn and wound repair, the Augustinus Bader brand is also involved in various philanthropic efforts that align with his mission to improve lives.
