The Royal Arcade's newest tenant has opened its doors weeks ahead of its official launch date.
Plastic-free, vegan and organic makeup brand Juni & Co - the sister brand of award-winning Juni Cosmetics - opened in Unit 4 on Wednesday, August 10 with a soft launch.
Its official launch is on September 3.
Madeleine White, who founded Juni & Co with mother Suzanne, said: "We've actually been really busy these first few days with a mixture of passers-by and people who already knew of us, which is great."

Madeleine has always suffered with sensitive skin and has an in-depth understanding of the complexity of beauty formulations.
"So many of our customers ask us for advice on all areas of beauty, whether it be their skin, make-up or hair," she explained.

"From being a make-up artist to founding my own brand, I’ve tried and tested a huge range of products and built relationships with other brand founders.
"I’m delighted to bring together the best brands from around the world - brands which can’t currently be found anywhere else in Norwich.

"We want the store to be an oasis of calm, a place for our customers to relax and speak openly and confidentially about their beauty concerns," Madeleine continued, with the aim of the store having a spa-like atmosphere, using bespoke and sustainable materials.
