A new player in the dermatology scene
French dermocosmetic brand Uriage is making a strong debut in the Philippines under Elite Beauty Innovations Corporation led by managing director Ethan Zachary Tan, bringing its science-driven skincare expertise to local consumers and medical professionals alike. Born in the pristine French Alps, Uriage’s signature Thermal Water – naturally rich in minerals and trace elements – lies at the heart of every formula, designed to soothe, strengthen, and protect even the most sensitive skin.
With over 30 years of dermatological research, 17 patents, and close collaboration with dermatologists, the brand has built a reputation for clinically proven solutions that address a wide range of skin concerns. Its hero lines, including Xémose for dry and atopic skin, Cica Daily for skin barrier repair, and Hyséac for oily and acne-prone skin, offer targeted care backed by rigorous science.
Its recent launch in the country held at Shangri-La The Fort, Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, highlighted its commitment to medical-grade skincare. The momentous event gathered more than 120 doctors and was supported by the Dermatology Community of the Philippines, reinforcing the company’s position as a dermatologist-trusted brand with a science-first philosophy.
More than just skincare, the company represents an alpine-inspired approach grounded in clinical research and real results, now officially accessible to the Philippine market.
A golden legacy of craft and culture
Bathed in the warm glow of Philippine sunsets, international high-jewelry brand Jewelmer’s golden South Sea pearls shimmer with a quiet confidence that speaks of heritage, patience, and refined artistry. Since 1979, the French-Filipino maison has devoted itself to elevating the country’s national gem through exquisite savoir-faire, cultivating each pearl in Palawan’s pristine waters with reverence for nature, then transforming it through masterful design rooted in Place Vendôme techniques, and enlivened by Filipino joie de vivre. The result is fine jewelry that feels at once poetic and powerful: radiant creations where craftsmanship, culture, and the grace of Mother Nature meet in luminous harmony.
Celebrating gratitude in festive style
The Catholic Women’s Club (CWC), under the leadership of its indefatigable president Velia Cruz, lit up The Ballroom of New World Makati Hotel in Makati City with warmth and elegance at their 104th Annual Ball. With the theme entitled “Pagdiriwang,” members, benefactors, and friends gathered for an evening that sparkled with joy, gratitude, and camaraderie. The program was a beautiful tapestry of artistry and heartfelt appreciation, celebrating both the generosity of its patrons and the life-changing impact of the Club’s outreach initiatives.
Laughter, music, and inspiring speeches filled the night, reminding everyone that through shared commitment and compassion, hope and dignity are brought to the lives of those most in need. Truly, it was an evening of celebration, connection, and unwavering dedication to a mission that shines brighter each year.
