Kiehl's Acai Product

“Natural” and “organic” have mostly been used to tout products for consumption like foods and supplements. As noted earlier on this Acai Berry blog, the makeup and hair products industry is getting into the mix. Cosmetics made with organic fruit extracts and sourced-from-the-earth minerals are all the rage.

Kiehl’s Rare Earth pore minimizing collection is made from fair-trade, mineral-rich Amazonian White Clay, while a soon-to-be-in-stores damage-repairing skin care collection contains “super-antioxidant” organic acai berry, said to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and even skin tone.

Clinique is launching a new innovation in lip gloss to help protect and defend delicate lips. Bursting with antioxidant ingredients, Clinique introduces new Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour, a healthy dose of luscious colour in six juicy shades, rich in moisture and shine, like an antioxidant fruit smoothie for the lips.

Combining the high shine and super moisturising aspects of a lip gloss with the rich, stay-true colour and buildable coverage of a lipstick, the beauty experts at Clinique have developed this revolutionary new lip product.

The new formulation has taken powerful, ‘good for you’ ingredients and squeezed them into a gorgeous, colourful lip product with treatment benefits. Over time lips become vulnerable to lines and wrinkles and can become thinner and drier while also losing some of their colour. This vitamin packed formula is enriched with a cocktail of ingredients, including the key antioxidants, Açaí Berry and Pomegranate to help protect against environmental aggressors and Vitamin C to improve the look and feel of lips instantly and over time. Whilst a decadent blend of rich butters such as Shea Butter provide comfort, moisture and soothing benefits and help put the smooth in to Lip Smoothie.

(based on this release and the reference to a UK web site, this may be a product offered outside the US for now.)
