Merindah Botanicals Wins Global Beauty Award for Its Cult-Favourite Anti-Ageing Elixir

Launceston, Tasmania - February 2, 2026 - Merindah Botanicals, the brand redefining skincare as a five-minute post-spa ritual, has officially been recognised at the 2026 Universal Beauty Awards for its best-selling Hydrating Anti-Ageing Elixir, taking Bronze in the Best Anti-Ageing Treatment category.

This award marks international recognition for a product that's already gained a cult following — selling out twice, including its debut launch which cleared shelves in just five days.

"I didn't want another skincare routine. I wanted to feel like I just left the spa," says Mel Driver, Founder and certified skincare formulator.
"This recognition reflects what our customers already know — skincare isn't just about results. It's about how you feel in your skin."

Why It Won
Industry judges were drawn to the Elixir's category-defining approach: Day Spa Skincare — At Home.

Unlike traditional anti-ageing products focused solely on ingredients or clinical claims, Merindah Botanicals delivers both visible skin transformation and spa-like calm — in just five minutes.

In a pre-launch test group of 20 women, 100% reported visible results within 7 days — including smoother texture, softened fine lines, and a radiant, post-facial glow. Some saw results in as little as 3 days.

Powered by Botanicals That Do More

The Elixir blends organic, skin-loving oils and plant extracts with deeply restorative aromatherapy ingredients — including:

• Camellia Oil, Sea Buckthorn, and Jojoba to hydrate, plump, and nourish
• Gotu Kola and Shea to calm and support barrier repair
• Neroli, Mandarin, and Lotus Flower to elevate the senses and soothe the nervous system

Every drop is formulated to feel like a post-spa ritual — from the very first use.
