Arnicare has been nominated for an award and we could not be more excited about it! Arnicare has been named as a finalist in the Australian Womens small business championship awards for 2022 in the Specialised retail small business category. Arnicare launched as a company back in 2020 as Australia's first cosmetic injectables aftercare range. Our initial plan was to focus on stocking an arnica lip balm for use after lip filler in cofounder Ash's clinic Toxbar in Geelong. As soon as we began showcasing our lip filler aftercare range via Instagram, wholesale enquiries from cosmetic injectors all across Australia and New Zealand came flooding in. We quickly realised there was a huge demand for cosmetic injectables aftercare in the aesthetic medicine industry and began selling our range to other cosmetic clinics across Australia.

Over the past two years the Arnicare range has expanded to include an arnica cream, which has seen a rise in popularity after PDO threads became more sought after and clinics realised the benefits of using the arnica cream after IPL and lower face rejuvenation, lip ice packs, post procedure kits and stress balls.

Arnicare is focused on innovation and identifying ways to promote natural looking filler results. Becoming a finalist in the Australian small business awards centered around this innovative approach and being industry leaders within our niche of cosmetic injectables aftercare. Throughout this process we announced that we have another first to market product launching soon that is set to take the industry by storm and revolutionise the way dermal filler procedures are performed. The Arnicare team cannot wait to announce this new ARTG listed product to all of our wholesale suppliers very soon.

The Arnicare brand is built on developing trust and rapport with our wholesale stockist and avoiding that traditional "hard sell" approach. We are so excited to now be stocked in over 65 cosmetic injectables clinics, dentist, plastic and vascular surgery clinics across Australia.

Finally, as a business, Arnicare is focused on reviewing and adapting our product range to ensure it meets the expectations of our wholesale stockists and customers alike. Over the past two years we have reduced plastic covering from our arnica lip balm, introduced sleek new boxes for our retail purchases of arnica lip balms (available for purchase online), introduced point of sale lip balm displays and are now offering customisation of our bestselling stress balls.

It has been a big two years for Arnicare and we are so proud to be a finalist at these awards, we will be sure to update everyone after judging in November!
