( WHAT’S HOT )
MAST CHEW CHEWING GUM ELF ON A SHELF
Although its been established that traditional chewing gum
doesn’t take seven years to digest, it is true that it can cause a
number of gastric issues when swallowed. Moreover, with many
supermarket brands opting for synthetic resins, fillers,
preservatives and artificial sweeteners, gum can contain
controversial ingredients, such as butylated hydroxytoluene,
titanium dioxide and aspartame, that can be detrimental to the
human body. Containing 100 per cent natural and organic
ingredients, Mast Chew is Australia’s first locally manufactured
plant-based and sugar-free chewing gum made from an ancient
Mediterranean gum called pistacia resin. Used for thousands of
years to maintain gut health and treat abdominal related issues
including heartburn, gastric and intestinal ulcers, pistacia resin is
a mastic-like secretion from the pistacia genus of trees, and is
combined with xylitol and mint to create a unique yet familiar
minty fresh flavour and texture that cleanses the mouth and
soothes the stomach. Containing no synthetics, latex, sugars,
colours, additives or artificial sweeteners, Mast Chew is easily
digested by the body
and has been shown
to assist in the
treatment of stomach
ulcers when swallowed.
Available in a 16-piece
blister pack ($4.50)
and 35-piece bottle
($6.95).

SUPPORTING SKINCARE STAPLES BY ENBACCI
When it comes to applying a face mask, two of the most common skincare mistakes Aussies
make include failure to adequately prep the face prior to a treatment; and failure to soothe
and seal the skin following a treatment. Formulated as part of Enbacci’s basics collection, the
Supporting Skincare Staples include the Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Scrub ($45),
Detoxifying Clay Mask ($44), and Pore Minimiser ($30). Used independently for their
respective benefits or part of Enbacci’s three-step masking system, the staples result from
years of stem cell science and research in regards to naturally derived ingredients.

GO MILK THISTLE 50,000 1-A-DAY
GO Milk Thistle 50,000 1-A-DAY contains silybum marianum (milk thistle), which supports the health and
function of the liver and may support healthy liver detoxification processes. Milk thistle may help to strengthen
the liver and has the added benefit of being a powerful antioxidant. Milk thistle has also been traditionally used
to promote the regeneration of healthy new liver cells to replace old and damaged ones. Milk thistle has been
used in Western herbal medicine to assist with the relief of mild digestive disturbances, such as bloating, and to
aid digestion. It also has antioxidant properties, which may help protect the body from free radical damage. GO
