0ver 650 million people lack access to clean and safe drinking water; that's the equivalent of roughly 1 in every 10 people globally.
The World Economic Forum in January 2015 ranked the water crisis as the No. 1 global risk based on impact to society.
On top of all of this, every 90 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease.
In Australia, the Cosmetics, Beauty and Toiletries industry generates profits of over $4 billion annually.
Imagine creating incredible formulations for new organic beauty, self-tanning and skin care products that are cruelty-free, made locally and highlighting pure Tasmanian ingredients. Awesome, right?
We told ourselves, be better. Let's do this and raise awareness and contribute some of our profits to providing safe and clean water for people who go without everyday.
The Team
Our team comprises of young professionals who were born in Tasmania; they care about the power of social enterprise as well as cruelty-free and organic cosmetics, they are passionate about creating social change and thoroughly enjoy the work they do (97.9% of the time!!!).
CEO/FOUNDER
Corbin Halliday comes from a successful career in the beauty industry. Over 2 years ago Corbin fell physically unwell resulting in him having to give up the profession that he loved. During this time, Corbin realised he wanted to help other people who are suffering from illnesses or lacking vital resources. He researched and changed the way he lived and witnessed the positive effects of using organic products. The idea of Three Tribes was born. It was soon after that he met Taz and the idea grew.
COO
Taz brings a background from a number of incredible Not For Profits. For those who know Taz, she is a person who is constantly bursting with ideas and just wants to make things happen; she won't stop until she makes a different. Taz cares deeply, and, like Three Tribes, believes that extreme poverty is unacceptable and saw potential to address this.
OFFICE ASSISTANT
Indi is our office assistant; she is a 1.5-year-old Maltese puppy. She is a vital member of our team. She along with us believes that testing on animals should be ended. She provides cuddles during stressful times and disapproving growls when something is not on point.
Three Tribes was founded to be "Different For A Better World".
Look Different
Over many months of product testing, we finalised a unique formulation that provides an incredible even and natural tan. The best thing about our CULT self-tanning range is that the use of Tasmanian Manuka and Leatherwood honey provides a luxurious scent. It is a non-streaky formula that showcases cool tones, while also adapting to your individual skin need. Our Tasmanian Full Body Life Scrub will polish and leave you looking smooth. Let our products help you look your best as you get ready to face a new day.
Act Different
Three Tribe products are changing lives by providing awareness and supporting water projects that transform communities. Let's be honest life is tough; we all need a little bit of help sometimes. Every day we face our own challenges, and so we place importance on celebrating Everyday Warriors. We have partnered with organisations to provide complete water systems and WaterWheels for villages. These decrease the physical and economic toll that collecting water has on communities in developing regions.
Feel Different
We thrive on the feeling that you get after you purchase and wear a product free from chemicals, toxins and cruelty. This is made from the purest local ingredients sourced in Tasmania. Three Tribes is all about "what you see is what you get". We believe in "Only The Better Stuff".
How can you partner with us?
We have poured thousands of hours into making this idea a reality, and will launch our first product line in July 2016. We want to grow our brand.
