Natural ingredients key

Published: 1-Apr-2006


Personal care products boasting natural ingredients continue to be a key marketing proposition, says a new report by business information provider Datamonitor. The company’s Productscan Online database has recorded new launches including a hot soy oil manicure kit, a skin treatment made with organic soil mineral concentrate and a firming cream that includes argan oil. Aloette Cosmetics’ Hot Soy Manicure Treatment Candle is made of cosmetic grade soy oil instead of traditional paraffin or beeswax and when burned, it melts into a warm oil that can be directly massaged into the skin to moisturise the cuticles. An anti-ageing skin care range that claims to be the first to be based on argan oil, extracted from the Moroccan argan tree, has been launched in Spain and France by Pierre Fabre, and US cosmetics company Bare Escentuals has used new skin care ingredient 100% pure organic soil mineral concentrate in its RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment Night exfoliating product to help reduce the effects of acne, redness fromrosacea and hyperpigmentation.
