Sun and Moon
The French luxury brand Lalique, founded in 1888, has become synonymous with high-end perfumes for men and women, as well as exquisite artistic design pieces that preserve the vision of French luxury craftsmanship.
The newly launched Lalique Soleil Lunar is the third in the series of iconic sun-shaped bottles, telling a story of eternal romance between the sun and the moon. This exquisite fragrance reflects the silent transition from daylight to moonlight, combining art with a harmonious fusion of mineral scent notes in a meticulously designed flacon.
The Lalique Soleil Lunar woman is curious, bold, and fearless, guided by the rhythm of the sun and moon. She lives her life fully and freely, follows her desires without compromise, and is a powerful, independent icon of magnetic allure, charisma, sensuality, and indulgence. She draws vitality from the sun’s embrace and steps into the night under the moonlight, declaring herself the master of her destiny.
Perfumer Nathalie Lorson crafted this fragrance based on the duality and infinite connection between the sun and the moon—a play of light and darkness. The scent opens with a sparkling burst of mandarin, blending with the warm glow of pink pepper. A floral heart of sweet magnolia and the night-blooming flower, a symbol of nocturnal beauty, reveals an enchanting and sensual femininity, enriched with a warm embrace of vanilla and spices. The fragrance evolves with a bouquet of flowers wrapped in the powdery caress of heliotrope and ambrette, softening the floral richness with their gentle warmth. The bottle, designed in amber and purple hues, is a tribute to the beauty of the first and last light of the day.
The Heart of the Story
Laline has collaborated with young author Sivan Madari to launch a limited-edition gift collection featuring her poetry book "You Are the Heart of the Story", her second book, written especially for this collaboration. The book delivers inspiring messages of female strength, confidence, and self-acceptance. The new collection combines Laline’s luxurious self-care products with this unique book.
Ori Goren, VP of Marketing and International Operations at Laline: "International Women’s Day is an opportunity for us to promote values that matter to us: empowerment, self-acceptance, and female strength. We always seek creative ways to connect inner and outer beauty. Choosing Sivan Madari, a promising young author, was driven by our desire to give women a voice and amplify their power through the art of words." Laline (credit: vipdesigm)
Sivan Madari: "I believe every woman carries immense power within her and has a unique story. My words are my way of reminding every woman of her strength, beauty, and right to love herself exactly as she is."
The collection includes various gift sets, available with or without the book, such as the Vanilla Pink Classic Set, Refreshing Violet Set, Luxurious Vanilla Set, and Pampering Frozen Set.
From the Heart
For International Women’s Day, Ofer Malls continues its collaboration with jewelry designer Eti Kubo. As part of this initiative, a special bracelet with a pearl and gold heart, designed by Kubo, will be sold for 29 shekels at 18 Ofer malls nationwide, with most of the proceeds donated to the "One in Nine" organization.
Eti Kubo: "I am happy to participate for the fifth year in this important cause for 'One in Nine.' Every year, I involve my employees, and we work together to create a unique bracelet as a reminder for every woman to get checked once a year."
Tali Barel, Marketing Director at Ofer Malls: "Thanks to the success of our partnership, we are pleased to offer a new bracelet design by Kubo at an affordable price—a small reminder for all women to get checked." From the Heart (credit: PR)

Sweet 60
Shiseido believes potential has no age, and that life and beauty don’t stop after 60. Their Vital Perfection Concentrated Supreme Cream is an advanced formula tailored to the needs of mature skin.
The development is based on three key research areas:
Microcirculation: The quality of blood vessels is directly linked to aging signs. Improved blood flow in the dermis maintains skin density, firmness, and natural radiance.
Facial Muscles: Muscle mass decreases with age, leading to sagging. The cream incorporates a unique facial sculpting technology to maintain muscle tone and firm the skin.
Neuroscience: ReNeuraRED™ Technology enhances skin’s neural communication, improving its ability to renew and respond effectively to anti-aging care. The result is firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin with defined facial contours. The jar is also refillable. Shiseido (credit: PR abroad)

Following the success of Instead’s beef and chicken alternatives, Of Hagalil is expanding its activity in the field and launching an innovative and groundbreaking series of fish alternatives. All the products are vegan, containing natural ingredients without genetically engineered components, rich in protein, and some are gluten-free.
Of Hagalil, located in Kiryat Shmona, engages in the breeding, production, and distribution of fresh and frozen unprocessed poultry products, as well as the marketing and distribution of frozen products including meat, fish, and vegetables. The company signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with Future Food Group from the Netherlands, a leading international player, to produce the fish alternatives, considered innovative and groundbreaking.

Gadi Netanyel, CEO of Of Hagalil: "The biggest challenge in creating kosher fish alternatives is giving the products the right taste, since it's hard to obtain high-quality kosher flavor ingredients that can be incorporated into the products and match the texture of fish meat. Currently, there are no fish alternatives in the form of products like those from Instead in the market, and we are happy to be the first company to bring these products to the alternative shelf."
In the series: Plant-based fish burgers, plant-based fish fingers, and plant-based fish nuggets. All products bear the Vegan Friendly certification mark.

The message "From Love" accompanies the initiative, emphasizing that yogurt is not just a food product, but a conscious choice that embodies care and doing good for our loved ones and ourselves.

Liraz Sofrin, VP of Marketing at Strauss Dairy: "Behind every Danone in our fridge, there is someone thinking about us, wanting to do good for us, someone coming from love. Yogurt contains essential ingredients, and when we give it, we take care of them and us."
Additionally, the Danone family is expanding the Danone Multi series and launching Danone Multi with collagen—each cup contains 3 grams of collagen that helps strengthen connective tissues, maintain skin elasticity, joint health, and the strength of hair and nails.
