On the Street
Even with ‘ink-covered’ jeans Joshua Thomas is effortlessly stylish. As a tattoo artist and owner of Trafalgar Street Tattoo Joshua is a creative soul influenced by nineties grunge fashion and sustainable shopping, with a little bit of ‘dad’ style for good mix.
What are you wearing? My jeans are straights from Rivers, but I found them in an op shop for $6. They’re covered in ink from work. T-shirt is made by my friend’s band Soul Void. And Dr. Martens on the bottom.
What are you dressed for today? Making tattoos.
What is your style? I don’t really know, but I keep it simple mostly. Nineties grunge/dad maybe?
What is most of your wardrobe made up of? Straight denim and plain t-shirts.
What are you loving at the moment? Crocs. I know.
Where do you buy most of your clothes from? Uniqlo is where I get most of my basics, and the rest I try to get from op shops and markets.
What is your approach to shopping? I only go shopping for new clothes when I desperately need something, otherwise I prefer recycled shopping.
What is your all-time favourite purchase? I’ve had a shirt in my wardrobe for probably five or six years that’s on constant rotation over summer. It was a XXL long sleeve office shirt I bought from an op shop that I cut into a short sleeve.
What is your worst clothing disaster? Years ago, I wore a pair of green pants with a red check shirt to work and someone called me a Christmas tree at a staff meeting.
What wardrobe item should everyone invest in? A single pair of shoes you could wear on any day.
Do you have a style rule you always obey? If you’re wearing jeans, wear a belt.
If you could raid one person’s wardrobe, who would it be? Hands on everything Anderson Paak owns.
Finish this sentence – You would never catch me wearing… Flip flops.

Strengthen, repair and hydrate
Some of the very best ideas are born out of adversity. Suffering from skin problems for years, local woman Kate Dyer had tried every dermatological treatment imaginable to no avail. “I know I have spent many dollars attempting to solve my skin problems,” she says.
Spending several hours breastfeeding a day she decided to use that time to research everything she could about skin and skincare. Having a head start as a microbiologist, albeit in food science, she was well able to make sense of the research and scientific papers she uncovered relating to what leads skin, the biggest organ we have, to become damaged and how skincare is formulated and how specific skincare ingredients work to either help or harm it further. “The more I read, the more I realised why the products I had tried previously weren’t working and were in fact causing even more damage to my skin,” says Kate. “I began to understand that our skin is being bombarded daily with pollutants of all kinds and is constantly trying to repair itself, but healthy skin is dependent on the trillions of good bacteria living in our bodies, our microbiome. Most of the skincare products on the market today are based on old scientific thinking that doesn’t take this into account and they are an incompatible pH or include a range of damaging antibacterial ingredients, fragrances and preservatives such as parabens and ethanol, all of which actively work against skin health. While Kate breastfed for a year and a half, accumulating a colossal amount of knowledge, she wasn’t done with her research. In the meantime, she met local entrepreneur Cindy Boote who had experienced similar issues finding skincare that delivered on its promises. They made the decision to team up and create Eunoia. “We are super proud to be bringing a radical new type of skincare to the world based on up-to-date science, ingredients with sound clinical trials and most importantly, to bring real solutions to people like us who have suffered for years with problem skin,” or who are frustrated with products that don’t live up to their marketing claims she says. “As well as working really hard on the actual products we have actually managed to do something that the big skincare companies have said couldn’t be done,” Kate continues. “Thanks to the resources provided by Callaghan Institute we were able to develop and validate a hurdle technology that utilises an airless vacuum pump bottle that eliminates the need for traditional preservatives so the product that comes out is pure goodness and doesn’t have anti-bacterial ingredients that are harmful to the skin.” Kate and Cindy are excited to be able to incorporate New Zealand ingredients but only those that have survived strict clinical trials. These include Kawa Kawa, traditionally used by Māori for healing, an algae extract from our native red seaweed and leaf extract from the black fern.

Only launched last December, the sky is the limit for Eunoia. “The feedback so far has been really exciting,” says Kate. “We are thrilled to finally see all the research and hard work we have done going to help others like us for whom a healthy skin really helps a positive self-esteem.”
