Kumaara which is their latest skin care line for anti-aging combines the most powerful anti-oxidant fruits, a patented growth factor, and advanced wrinkle-fighting ingredients to create one of today’s most unique new contributions to the skincare market. They’ve combined Indian Gooseberry which is recognized as having the highest Vitamin C content of any naturally occurring substance with organic Acai and Goji Berries as well as Floral Seed Extract to create a superior anti-aging elixir.

This amazing blend provides powerful antioxidant and brightening effects while improving skin density and elasticity.  I’ve used it for a week and my skin definitely appears brighter.  I’ve had a few comments on the glow! There are three treatments available to consumers.  Overnight Repair Complex smooths, firms, calms and brightens while you sleep.  Luminizing Eye Treatment lightens, brightens & de-puffs the delicate under eye skin.  Luminescent Primer can be worn alone or under make-up for a smooth, luminous & flawless finish.

Kumaara will be available sometime this month and I know there are many who have been waiting patiently, me included:-)

This list is definitely something you need to bookmark, print and refer to whenever you are checking out new products for beauty & skin care in 2009. My favorite is the Acai Berry which is unbelievable and a must have for feeling fabulous. You will be seeing a lot of Acai, as well as all of the ingredients mentioned below. Put together by Pierce Mattie PR and one that contains key ingredients for a happier, healthier, you!

2009 Beauty Forecast: Pierce Mattie PR Names the Top 10 Ingredient Trends

In previous years the beauty industry transitioned into the importance of being all natural with products ranging from skin care to spa treatments to hair care to cosmetics. In 2009 the focus will no longer just being about who is green or all natural, but about specific ingredients and their benefits. Pierce Mattie is known for forecasting trends in the beauty industry, so without missing a beat, the Beauty PR firm names the top 10 ingredients that consumers will hear more about in 2009.

Argan Oil: This incredible skin care miracle, known for being one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin E with 80% essential fatty acids, has been a beauty secret of Moroccan women for centuries. It can be dually used on skin and in hair for its high level of antioxidants and ability to replenish hair and skin’s natural moisture.

Acai: Sometimes referred to as “The Fountain of Youth,” this Brazilian berry contains antioxidants, amino acids, essential omegas, fibers and protein that positions itself as a formidable fighter in anti-aging products. Acai can be found across the board in skin care, cosmetics and hair care products.

Goji Berries: This nutrient-rich berry, well known as Wolfberries in the Himalayas, has often been called a “super food” due to its abilities to fight free radicals and boost the immune system. While there are no inherent benefits of Goji in fragrance, that hasn’t stopped perfumers from including this sweet yet tart scent into their perfumes.

Baobab: Rich in riboflavin, niacin and vitamins C, A, D and E, baobab has incredible anti-aging properties although you won’t just find it in creams and moisturizers, but also in exfoliating scrubs and hair care.

Acerola: Ingredients high in Vitamin C, like acerola, are being used more often due to their ability to even out skin tone and brighten complexion. Skin care brands will be using acerola more to target those who have issues with skin redness and inflammation.

Blueberry: Chock full of amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, blueberries are another super food that will be used to fight aging in beauty products. Also known as a “super fruit,” blueberries have long been known for its ability to revitalize the skin; it was just a matter of time before beauty brands began to incorporate it more into their skin care products.

Probiotics: Last year Pierce Mattie PR termed probiotics a “buzzword” among beauty brands, but now those brands are delivering more than just buzz with this sister category to Cosmeceuticals and Nutraceuticals. Probiotic skin care will be branded as another “clinical-like” line of products, which beauty consumers tend to lean towards as science-based.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3: This Cosmeceutical that is becoming found more often in anti-aging products to fight fine lines and wrinkles will be even more prevalent in 2009. Products that contain Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3 will be branded as a temporary alternative to cosmetic procedures.

Myrrh: With the increasing popularity of Ayurveda in the Unites States, this ancient ingredient is also resurging in perfumes and skin care products. The rich royal resin with the slight vanilla fragrance so popular in incense also stimulates circulation and has lifting effects.

Turmeric: A highly regarded ingredient in India, Turmeric is widely known for its medicinal properties. Turmeric will be found in acne-related creams and lotions, as it is an antiseptic and can aid in preventing and removing blemishes. It will also be found in hair removal products as well as in the formulation of sunscreen in more natural products as well.

Here’s to you and all of your beauty!

Cheers,

Beth
