Containing only natural ingredients, Puttisu products are gentle and cause no harm to the skin.

“We went looking for cosmetics for children when we realised that most girls love nail polish and want to wear makeup like their mums,” says Pornthip.

“At a young age they love to experiment and try new things, but many adult cosmetics contain chemicals that can irritate children’s skin, so we found Puttisu, which is very popular in Korea, where they have a lot of brands exclusively for children.

“There are lots of vibrant colours for kids to enjoy and the packaging is quite eye-catching,” adds Pornthip.

Cosmeceutical specialist Dr Wanwipa Thongborisute concurs that children ages three to four years start imitating their mothers in styling and makeup.

“Parents should support them in this and let them freely express their creativity. Parents should be aware of the necessity of using certain skincare products. They should apply sunscreen on kids as young as six months when they have to go outdoors, but it must be a sunscreen that’s specially made for children.”

The Puttisu nail polishes are Water PangPang Nail, which is 70-per-cent water, Colour PangPang Nail with the refreshing scent of strawberries, Glitter PangPang Nail to add shimmer, and Blink PangPang Nail with a banana aroma.

Each of these contains green-tea seed, moringa seed oil, Japanese tea seed oil high in Vitamin E, olive oil, argan oil and macadamia oil.

Sun Cushion SPF 43 PA++ sunscreen contains extracts of green tea, thanaka, horsetail and lotus root, plus Allantoin to reduce inflammation.

For a fresh pop of colour in the cheeks, Blusher has gardenia extract, coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, grape seed oil and eucalyptus oil.

Lip Gloss with rosehip oil and honey keeps the lips moisturised for hours and smells of berries. Lip Crayon contains African shea butter, rosehip fruit oil and eucalyptus oil. Face Mask is 100 per cent cotton, has the scent of strawberries and contains shea butter, olive oil, grape seed oil and hyaluronic acid.

Socialite Palawi Bunnag says her daughter Wela loves the new products.

“She’s always curious and talkative. When she was three, she started to get interested in beauty products. She wanted to try my makeup, but I warned her that it contained chemicals. She still tried to act like she could wear makeup, and when she found out about makeup she could use, she was very happy.”

Jannis Yangpichit has the same experience with her daughter Janine.

“When she was two she played with and ruined many of my lipsticks. When she was old enough to realise she couldn’t use them, she wanted to be my assistant helping me put on my makeup. She’d apply my hand powder, mascara and blush.

“She’s just turning five now and I let her have her own cosmetics, which have great colours for her age. She loves the nail polish and lip balm.”

Puttisu is available only online, at https://Puttisuthailand.bentoweb.com/th, Facebook Puttisu, Instagram puttisu_thailand and LINE @puttisu_thailand.

It’s a French touring carnival with two dozen inflated characters and is making its first appearance in Southeast Asia right here.

“The balloon show is the work of world-renowned French street-theatre troupe Plasticiens Volants and will feature spectacular giant inflated puppets flying over Parc Paragon, combined with stunning lighting and music,” says senior executive vice president Mayuree Chaipromprasith.

Little Nemo is the cartoon character that Winsor McKay first drew for the New York Herald Tribune in 1905, which went on to book and film adaptations and even an opera.

In “Slumberland”, he has a fantastic dream, which is recounted with 20 colourful floating inflatables, including a magical flying bed whose legs grow to nine metres, a floating castle and vast raspberry fields.

The marathon was dubbed the most hassle-free running event ever organised with participants only needing their smartphone and letting Grab take care of the rest.

Grab business partners, including KBank, Sunday Insurance, Shopee, Joox and Ari Running were also on hand for the cause, providing fun-filled activities; and Grab Food-featured restaurants were present to refuel runners with a variety of dishes and snacks. The event culminated with a vibrant performance by Praew Kanitkul Netbute.

“Grab donates Bt10 for every kilometre covered by each runner. We’re pleased to announce the total donation of Bt400,000 which goes directly to Ramathibodi Foundation to support the purchase of medical equipment for the Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute in Samut Prakan. When fully operational, the facility will be a leading medical institute with the capacity to treat more than 1 million patients each year. The success of today’s activity would not have been possible without the collective efforts and kindness of our runners, driver-partners, passengers, business partners as well as the authorities. We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us and look forward to organising more meaningful activities to further improve the livelihood of people in the future,” says Tarin Thaniyavarn, Country Head of Grab Thailand.

“Grab Running” was part of Grab’s mission to give back to the society. Over the past few months, Grab has organised several CSR activities including scholarship grants for the children of driver-partners; “GrabFood for Good” donations to provide lunch money to more than 1,000 underprivileged children; and “GrabExpress Delivering Happiness”, with donated goods delivered free of charge to seven children’s foundations across Thailand including Baan Nokkamin.

The party, which is being organised with Rap Is Now, Thailand’s biggest underground rapper community and creators of the country’s first ever “Rap Battle” TV show, features performances by several local rap artists including CD Guntee, Dawut, Blacksheep, Maiyarap, Ben Bizzy and can’t get away with the rap battle between Stage-N vs 8botsboyz, with DJ Suraboon and Vnazz spinning until late.

Aside from the concert and rap battle, the party will also feature a streetwear market.

In collaboration with other artists and volunteers from London to Melbourne and Taipei to Kuala Lumpur, the bird of paradise arrives in downtown Bangkok with a clear message to those living there – to save the forests. It will be on display until October 14.

After ravaging the forests of Borneo and Sumatra, the palm-oil industry has reached the final frontier, Papua, home to these birds of paradise. Greenpeace says both the birds and the forest could be lost if these companies are allowed to continue.

“Forests, home to endangered animals and precious treasures from the earth, are being destroyed by the hands of humans,” says Muebon. “I hope this artwork will be able to reflect the voices of these animals, voices that otherwise might never reach the concrete jungle.”

With the theme “Redesigning the Good Life”, the conference – organised annually since 2015 by Dr Sirikul Laukaikul – will be held at the Siamese Fighting Fish Gallery, against the scenic backdrop of the Bang Kachao mangrove forests.

The idea is to raise awareness of this urban oasis and its rapidly dwindling natural resources. Unknown to many, including local residents, Bang Kachao – often described as Bangkok’s green lung – has played a crucial role in providing clean air to the city by trapping 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.

Recognised in Time magazine as Asia’s best urban oasis, Bang Kachao faces the challenge of surviving the onslaught of property development. Its pristine forest area and proximity to the city centre have long caught the eyes of investors.

The conference will have inspirational morning talks on the topics mentioned. Lunch both days will entail sumptuous family dishes prepared by Thai cooks. The afternoons will have workshops designed to engage and inspire.

Speakers and workshop moderators will include Sandja Brugmann, a Dane who’s been counted among the world’s “leadership gurus”. Dr Sirikul will interview her on the subject “Can we redesign the good heart and mind?” It was Brugmann who guided shoe brand Crocs from an eight-person startup into a global company worth US$208 million.

Afroz Shah, a United Nations Champion of the Earth in 2016, conducted the world’s largest beach cleanup in Mumbai. He will share insights on heightening people’s awareness and getting them to manage their waste.

Dr Suthat Ronglong, founder of Do in Thai, award-winning architect Duncan Firth of New Zealand and sustainable-energy architect Onishi Takuya of Japan will discuss housing and lifestyle redesign using technology “with the grace of nature”, using Bang Kachao as a case study.

Physician Pipatpong Israsena Na Ayudhya of Doi Kham will share his encyclopaedic knowledge about Thai food with Jarongsak “Satang” Rongdech, producer and presenter of “Pattakarn Bantung” on Thai PBS, and Sripattra Junsaengsook, a local chef in Bang Kachao.

Kei Nakayama, an advocate of Japanese rural tourism and co-founder of Discover Another Kyoto, will explain “How to create good tourism”.

Other speakers are actor-singer Alex Rendell, best-selling author Dr John Izzo, PTT CEO Chansin Treenuchagron, TAT Governor Yuthasak Supasorn, Suntory senior executives and award-winning designer Somchana Kangwarnjit.

Tickets costing Bt6,000 to Bt12,000 can be booked at http://SustainableBrandsBkk.com/sb2018. Find out more at (081) 307 3960.
