POND'S® and JZD Collaborate for Hispanic Heritage Month

In a bold celebration of culture and community, POND'S® is launching a limited-edition sweatsuit collection in partnership with JZD, a queer Latina-owned lifestyle brand. This exciting collaboration marks a vibrant intersection of beauty and fashion, symbolizing self-care, pride, and heritage, especially during Hispanic Heritage Month.

POND'S® has been a staple in Latina households for generations, embodying care and daily beauty rituals. Its alliance with JZD aims to deepen the legacy of both brands by showcasing how beauty, culture, and fashion can coexist harmoniously. Together, they have reimagined POND'S® skincare essentials into wearable artistry, making statements in lifestyle and self-expression.

The Co-Creators

The collection is brought to life by JZD founders Jennifer Serrano and Veronica Vasquez, who poured their vision and experiences into the designs. They articulate this initiative as a love letter to their culture, signifying the importance of the beauty routines passed down through generations, particularly from their grandmothers (abuelitas). According to Serrano and Vasquez, “We created this collection to feel like a celebration of our pride and community in fun, bold sweatsuits.”

The Sweatsuit Collection

The POND'S x JZD Sweatsuit Collection comprises three unique hand-drawn designs:
1. 'Legacy Glow Club' - This design draws inspiration from the iconic POND'S® Cold Cream Cleanser. The sweatsuit features a rich teal hue, reminiscent of the classic jar, and serves as a tribute to timeless beauty rituals.
2. 'I Got It From My Abuelita' - This piece pays homage to POND'S® Dry Skin Cream. With a crisp white background and blue lettering that reflects the brand's packaging, it honors the legacy of self-care knowledge passed down from abuelitas.
3. 'Sweats & Skincare? Sí Por Favor' - Inspired by POND'S® Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E B5 Gel Moisturizer, this light-blue sweatsuit is for those who embrace both glowing skin and comfortable fashion.

Cultural Significance

Kara Langan, Chief Marketing Officer at Elida Beauty, emphasizes the cultural importance of self-care routines among Latina consumers. “We are proud that for generations of Latinas, our products serve as a crucial part of their daily beauty regimens,” Langan states. This collaboration aims to celebrate that legacy in a fresh and stylish manner, transforming beloved skincare items into fashionable apparel.

Each sweatsuit set, which includes a matching sweatshirt and sweatpants, is made from breathable 80% cotton/20% polyester French Terry fabric. Moreover, the purchasers will receive the full-size POND'S product that inspired the respective design. This limited-edition line will be available exclusively at ShopJZD.com starting September 15.
