NEW YORK, July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Candy Crush Saga announced its collaboration with iconic fashion designer, Christian Cowan, to create a limited-edition, unique solution for commuters everywhere – The Sweet Seat.

Inspired by the dreaded task of claiming a seat on public transportation during rush hour, the Sweet Seat is a fashionable, yet highly practical, wearable seat perfect for Crushing on-the-go. Pulling from the bright in-game colors and iconic shapes, Sweet Seat gives players the ability to wear their favorite candies IRL.

Candy Crush Saga

Cowan, best known for his bold and unexpected collections, has worked with Candy Crush to put his playful and humorous touch on the Sweet Seat, bringing it to life in a way that doesn’t compromise fashion for comfort. His approach provides a sweet solution that puts the fun back in functional. With campy and Candy-tastic designs, the piece blends Cowan’s creativity and high fashion prowess with Candy Crush’s world of fun colors, candies and patterns.

“This piece is inspired by the fun that Candy Crush brings to mundane tasks like commuting,” said Christian Cowan. “Public transit could use a dose of glamor, especially in New York City and London, and the Sweet Seat brings that glamor in a fun, fashionable, and over the top way. What I love about this collaboration is that it brings a joyful solution to an everyday problem in a way that’s both out-of-the-box and camp.”

The Sweet Seat features a tear-drop silhouette garment that can be worn solo as a dress, or over the top of an outfit as an accessory. Functionally, the garment works like a bean-bag, the wearer can literally sit back and take a seat anywhere they’d like.

“Our loyal fans who play Candy Crush on-the-go love the color and fun that we bring to their everyday lives,” said Luken Aragon, VP Marketing, Candy Crush Saga “Whether they’re waiting in a long queue or battling the daily commute – without a seat, we want to be able to help bring them that joy and vibrancy to their day so that nothing gets in the way of leveling up. Collaborating with Christian to bring to life the candies that these players know and love – and can now wear – has been truly divine.”

This limited-edition item will be available for purchase on christiancowan.com/candycrush beginning July 26th 2023  for $1,000 / £786.92.

Swisse Launches Glam Bites: Zero-Sugar Beauty Gummies Designed for Busy Routines

Swisse launches Glam Bites: delicious beauty gummies with zero sugar, no sugar alcohols, and no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners—designed to support beauty from within.

Published

on

Swisse’s new Glam Bites feature collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, biotin, astaxanthin, and more—three targeted formulas for glow, defense, and hair/skin/nails support.*

Swisse Launches Glam Bites: Zero-Sugar Beauty Gummies Designed for Busy Routines

Swisse, the premium supplement brand under Health & Happiness (H&H) Group and a Certified B Corp, is kicking off 2026 with a new way to support “beauty from within.” The company just introduced Swisse Beauty Glam Bites, a line of zero-sugar beauty gummies made with science-backed ingredients—without the usual “junk” found in many gummy supplements. Positioned for today’s always-on lifestyle, Glam Bites aims to make daily self-care feel less like another task and more like a quick, enjoyable habit: bite, nourish, and glow.

What makes Glam Bites different?

Gummy supplements are popular, but they often come with tradeoffs—added sugars, sugar alcohols, artificial flavors, or ingredients that don’t align with cleaner-label preferences. Swisse is leaning into the opposite approach. According to the company, Glam Bites are crafted with:
  • Zero sugar
  • No sugar alcohols
  • No artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners
  • Gluten-free
  • Free from major allergens (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame)
That “clean but still tasty” promise is a big part of the launch—especially as more shoppers look for supplements that fit into wellness routines without feeling like a compromise.

A beauty routine that starts from the inside

Swisse is framing Glam Bites as a simple daily add-on that supports skin, hair, and nails through targeted micronutrients. Leading dietitian Dana A. White highlighted the brand’s approach in the announcement, noting that Glam Bites deliver “powerful, science-driven beauty benefits” through a precisely balanced blend of nutrients—while keeping the formula free from artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners.

The Glam Bites lineup (available now)

Swisse launched Glam Bites in three formulas, each with its own ingredient blend and naturally flavored profile.

1) Hair Skin Nails Glam Bites

  • Price/Count: $19.99 (60 count)
  • Key ingredients: Biotin, Zinc, Bamboo Extract
  • What it supports: Stronger hair and nails, plus skin firmness and elasticity*
  • Flavor: Blood orange (naturally flavored)

2) Glow Skin Glam Bites

  • Price/Count: $24.99 (60 count)
  • Key ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins C & E, Sea Moss, Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides
  • What it supports: Collagen production, improved elasticity, and a stronger skin barrier*
  • Flavor: Blueberry lavender (naturally flavored)

3) Skin Defense Glam Bites

  • Price/Count: $24.99 (60 count)
  • Key ingredients: Astaxanthin, L-Glutathione, Green Tea Extract
  • What it supports: Healthy aging, even skin tone, and antioxidant protection against environmental stressors*
  • Flavor: Raspberry green tea (naturally flavored)

Why gummies—and why now?

Swisse is launching Glam Bites at a time when gummies are increasingly becoming the preferred supplement format for younger consumers. The company cited research showing:
  • 45% of Gen Z and 31% of millennials favor gummy supplements.
  • 74% of U.S. personal care buyers agree that skin health reflects overall health.
In other words: the market is shifting toward convenience, better taste, and wellness products that connect beauty with whole-body health.

A global wellness brand expanding its portfolio

Swisse was founded in Australia in 1969 and has grown into a global wellness name known for premium supplements made with ingredients backed by scientific research and produced under world-class manufacturing standards. With Glam Bites, the brand is clearly betting on a “cleaner gummy” future—one that fits modern routines and modern label expectations.

A Guide to Great Skin at Any Age

Published

on

great skin

(Family Features) Here’s the secret for achieving a glowing complexion: there is no secret. In fact, a key factor in achieving great skin at any age comes down to one common denominator that’s no secret at all. It’s simply taking good care of your skin.

After all, your skin is your body’s single largest organ. It’s your protective shield, but it can also reveal the truth of your age, especially if you’re lax when it comes to regular skin care.

Make hydration a priority. Keeping the skin hydrated maintains its barrier integrity. When the skin becomes dry, it reduces the effectiveness of the skin barrier, making it less resilient against irritants and allergens.

Often, when the skin is dry it feels more rough or flaky. With proper hydration, the skin feels smoother and looks more supple. Achieving hydration through a better skin care routine, drinking plenty of water daily and eating certain fruits and vegetables can improve your skin’s appearance, maintaining a radiant, healthy complexion.

Use the right soap. Despite what your mother may have told you, squeaky clean isn’t always best. A better bet when it comes to soap is a product that respects your skin’s moisture balance and cleanses without creating tightness or irritation.

Mild options such as Pears skin cleansing products are specifically formulated and dermatologically tested to be gentle on the skin. They’re made with plant-based glycerin, which is a powerful humectant that attracts water from the environment and deeper layers of the skin to the outer layer, keeping it hydrated. Glycerin-based cleansers can help prevent stripping of the skin’s natural oils, which averts a tight, dry feeling. 

“More than ever, consumers are looking for mild and gentle products that are effective, smell good and work well,” said Dr. Adriana Lombardi, founder of the Skin Cancer & Cosmetic Surgery Center of New Jersey. “Pears soap checks all the boxes. It creates a really nice, thick lather and smells crisp and clean while leaving the skin hydrated.”

Avoid hot showers. Even the best products may not overcome the potential harm that comes from taking showers that are too hot. The heat removes your skin’s natural oils, which leaves you prone to itching and dryness and may worsen skin conditions.

Instead of cranking up the heat, opt for lukewarm temperatures and keep the shower time brief. Use moisturizing cleansers, and after your shower, immediately apply moisturizer to replenish and rehydrate your skin.

Protect your skin from the sun. After completing your skin cleansing routine, there’s an additional step to help maintain healthy, hydrated skin before heading outdoors: Take time to apply a layer of sunscreen to skin that will be exposed, including your face, ears and hands. Reapply every two hours if you’re spending a great deal of time outside. Sun damage can prematurely age the skin. You may not feel the heat as much during colder times of year, but the rays are still capable of damaging your skin, maybe even more so because you don’t feel the burn

3 Steps to Practice a Healthy Skin Routine

  1. Use a humidifier in your room. Adding moisture to your environment may help prevent over-drying and promote better air quality for your overall health, including your skin.
     
  2. Use glycerin-based soap. A glycerin-based soap like Pears gently cleanses your skin without stripping essential moisture.
     
  3. Moisturize immediately after showering. Showering, especially at higher water temperatures, can strip your body’s natural oils. Applying lotion immediately after you shower helps retain the moisture your body nee
