Every brand has a hero product — the one that gains cult-like status and sometimes becomes more well-known than the brand itself. Here in Australia, one of our most famous beauty exports is paw paw ointment (Lucas Paw Paw, we're looking at you), but there's countless other five-star offerings made in our very own backyard. To celebrate the end of Australia Week we're showcasing the Aussie beauty all-stars — and we've even plucked out the hero product from each brand for you, too.

Ooh, Grown Introduces New Buzzword and New Products
ORGLAMIC / (or-glam-ic) / adj. / 1. A lifestyle choice; / 2. The meeting of organic and glamour; / 3. The modern-day user of organic products; / 4. A cult*; / 5. Eg. I'm Orglamic.
As more and more of us seek out an eco-chic way of life, the word organic has gone from being the sole domain of hippies to something that everyone strives to be. To reflect this, luxury organic skincare brand Grown has coined a new phrase, Orglamic, to represent the change. It comes second only to lob in terms of my favourite beauty portmanteau. Ooh fancy big word. Which is ironic considering it means combining two words to make them shorter. But I digress. Check out the latest orglamic releases from Grown. LOVE. *A lie.
