Seltzer meets skincare in zesty collab

Two fabulous Torquay businesses have teamed up for a fruity collaboration which combines two successful homegrown brands – Coast Hard Seltzer and Tribe Skincare.

The seltzer meets skincare collab is the brainchild of local businesswomen Jess Blackman of Coast Hard Seltzer and Kayla Houlihan of Tribe Skincare.

The women are proudly showing off the power of their small-to-medium businesses on the Surf Coast by combining forces for a joint project they describe as “full of fizzy and fantastic surprises”.

The TRIBE x COAST collaboration was revealed on Saturday (April 23) at a Surprise Product Launch Party held in Albert Park and hosted by Tribe ambassador Tully Smith.

Coast released its zesty new seltzer flavour, Citrus Spritz – a combination of natural orange and lemon, while Tribe unveiled its latest skincare product – a Brightening Vitamin C Serum worn under moisturiser for “bright, bouncy and glowing skin”.

Tribe Skincare was born from founder Kayla’s drive to offer gentle skincare for sensitive skin that achieves salon-quality results at home.

Starting out in 2017, the Torquay-based company is now a nationally recognised and loved brand with an online Instagram community of more than 66,000 and 186,000 on TikTok.

Coast Hard Seltzer was brought to life by Jess in the September of 2020 with flavours including watermelon, cucumber and mint, blood orange and lime, as well as the 500ml Tropical Party HARD Seltzer.

The latest release will be Coast’s third collaboration seltzer flavour as it continues to grow and promote the importance of drinking local and independent.

“Coast Hard Seltzer and Tribe Skincare can’t wait to share this collaboration with their local and nationwide community,” Jess said.

“We are so excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with another Surf Coast business. It’s been such a fun, and delicious, process and it’s amazing to see the Tribe Skincare selzers in the Blackman’s Breweries in the area,” Kayla added.
