Professional Beauty Solutions (PBS) is proud to be part of the Bestow Sisterhood - a collective of beauty therapists and business professionals throughout Australia and New Zealand who are creating a brighter future for girls in rural Cambodia.

As a professional beauty distribution company, we are passionate about women and wellness. But we recognise that while we are born into a land of opportunity, our sisters in Cambodia are born into poverty through no fault of their own.

We want to do our part to make the world a better place – for all women.

Through the Bestow Sisterhood, PBS now sponsors five girls in rural Cambodia who are cared for under the Cambodia Charitable Trust. We think of them as our little sisters.

We Are Supporting Five Little Sisters

For $40 per girl per month, PBS is changing the future for five young Cambodian girls by supporting their education. Girls who don’t go to school are vulnerable to sex trafficking or can end up married and bearing children at a tragically young age. Through education, our little sisters are protected and given the opportunity to develop a healthy, happy, purposeful life. This sponsorship allows our little sisters to stay to stay in school, with ample opportunities on their horizon. Click here to sponsor a child today.

What Else can you do to Help?  

Salons can also become part of the Bestow Sisterhood by stocking and selling Generositea – the official Bestow Sisterhood tea from the Bestow Organic Herbal Tea Range. This beautiful rose-coloured tea is an organic blend of lemongrass, peppermint, hibiscus, cinnamon and cardamom. All Bestow profits from the sale of Generositea go to support the work of the Cambodia Charitable Trust. 

About the Bestow Sisterhood

The Bestow Sisterhood is the charitable arm of Bestow Beauty, who bring us the beautiful recipe books and skin-food products to nourish skin from within.

Janine Tait, founder of Bestow Beauty has joined hands with her sisters, Robyn Fairweather (Bestow Beauty) and Denise Arnold of the Cambodia Charitable Trust, to create the Bestow Sisterhood. Professional Beauty Solutions is one of the many business’s (including Spa’s & Clinics) around Australia and New Zealand who have chosen to adopt a little Cambodian sister and support her education through Denise’s trust.

When we open our eyes and our hearts, we begin to understand that we are part of a global sisterhood. Every woman is our sister. We can help the woman down the street from us, and we can change the life of a girl in Cambodia who we will never meet. Both matter. We love to see women helping women, and we are grateful to clinics and their clients for being part of the Bestow Sisterhood.
— Robyn, Denise & Janine

The Bestow Sisterhood

How a growing collective of beauty therapists who believe in wellness for all women are creating a brighter future for vulnerable girls in Cambodia.

Bestow Beauty, a wellness company from New Zealand who are attracting attention for their skin nutrition products, recipes and rituals, has recently launched the charitable arm of their business, The Bestow Sisterhood, in Australia.

The Bestow Sisterhood is a collective of beauty therapists and skincare clinics throughout Australia and New Zealand who are changing the lives of vulnerable girls in Cambodia by sponsoring their education.

Launched in April 2017, the Bestow Sisterhood is a partnership between Bestow Beauty founder, Janine Tait and her sister, Denise Arnold, who founded the Cambodia Charitable Trust in 2008 after hearing about Cambodian children being rented out for sex by the week.

Over the last ten years Denise has changed the future for thousands of vulnerable Cambodian children by transforming schools and ensuring the poorest children are sponsored to attend. 

“Education is the greatest hope for fighting poverty and slavery, especially education of girls” - Janine Tait.

Girls who don’t go to school in Cambodia are vulnerable to sex traffickers or oftentimes end up married and bearing children long before their bodies are developed enough to cope with delivering a baby. Through the Bestow Sisterhood, salons can sponsor a girl’s education for $40 a month, which radically changes the life of that little girl and her family.

Janine Tait says she founded The Bestow Sisterhood because she believes in wellness for all women.

“My whole career has been about women and wellness,” says Janine, “But wellness ultimately needs to take us beyond ourselves - that is what true soul health looks like. The Bestow sisterhood is about women helping women; offering wellbeing to young girls in Cambodia who don’t have the privileges we have.”

Over fifty Cambodian girls have now been sponsored by beauty therapists and skincare clinics since the launch of the Bestow Sisterhood in 2017. “We think of them as our little sisters,” says Janine. “They are part of our extended family.”

Janine is inviting skincare clinics all over New Zealand and Australia to join The Bestow Sisterhood by sponsoring a little Cambodian sister for $40 per month. Sponsorship provides her with a school uniform and essential school stationary, access to health checks, food for her family, and a monthly contribution to family living costs to cover the loss of the child’s wage. 

Professional Beauty Solutions (PBS) have now sponsored 5 girls in Cambodia to help the young girls receive and education and build the skills needed for them to succeed in their rural town.

Pure Fiji Launches NEW Coconut Lime Blossom Infusion at Beauty Expo

PFUS CLB Promo.jpg

Returning to Beauty Expo after 5 years, attendees came in droves to stock up on their favourite natural bath and body care products and experience the Australian launch of Pure Fiji’s latest signature scent - Coconut Lime Blossom!

Salon owners couldn’t get enough of the eagerly anticipated new infusion, with most of the Coconut Lime Blossom range selling out on the first day. The visiting Fijians were also a stand out for the crowd, performing incredible Signature Foot Rituals while singing some beautiful Fijian melodies throughout the weekend.

What’s in it?

Like all Pure Fiji products, the base of each range is the essential oils from four tropical nut oils including Dilo, Sikeci, Coconut, and Macadamia. In this range, these oils are then blended with fresh coconut milk, zesty lime, and lime blossom. Coconut has a myriad of skin enhancing benefits which help to soften, hydrate, soothe and protect the skin, while lime is rich in powerful antioxidants like Vitamin C to help boost collagen production. The incredible infusion of these antioxidants help particularly to tighten pores, remove dry skin cells and brighten skin tone. Skin is also hydrated with a refreshing blend of pure leaf hydrosols which offer skin protection and anti-ageing benefits.


With a complete body care range available including a Hydrating Body Lotion, Body Butter, Exotic Oil, Sugar Rub, Shower Gel, Bath Soak, Hand Crème, Body Mist, Spa Soap and Gift sets, as well as a new professional body treatment (launching late 2017), Pure Fiji’s Coconut Lime Blossom Signature Line is your clients ticket to hydrated, radiant and glowing skin.
