Three makes a case for clean beauty at Beijing Daxing International Airport

Pola Orbis Holdings is introducing Japanese holistic beauty brand Threes inaugural Chinese store at the new Beijing Daxing International Airport through CDF-Sunrise Duty Free. Pola Orbis, which also owns high-end Australian skincare brand Jurlique, will launch Three when the much-anticipated new aviation hub becomes operational.

As reported, Daxing International Airport is expected to have its soft opening on 30 September before formally opening for operations late the following month. [The Moodie Davitt Report is publishing a special eZine to celebrate the Daxing opening – details to follow soon].

Three is currently available in several key Asian markets including Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, China (Hong Kong), Singapore, and South Korea. The Daxing International operation is the brand’s first brick and mortar store in China – and its first foray into the booming Mainland China travel retail scene.

According to the company, Three’s products comprise no less than 85% naturally derived ingredients. Three offers skincare and makeup products that combine organic plant-based Japanese ingredients with innovative clean beauty technology. In line with its green ethos, the brand’s products veer away from any artificial colouring, genetic modification, or parabens. Three also doesn’t conduct any kind of animal testing.

Three offers ‘three-dimensional beauty for the mind, body and soul”
