HOT SERUMS

Mary Kay has been delivering the beauty products that women want for decades. And in 2019, it’s no surprise that what they want are natural options.

“Consumers today care about what they put in and on their bodies,” says Dr. Lucy Gildea, chief scientific officer of Mary Kay Inc. “Our goal is to provide every woman with skincare choices to meet her needs. Mary Kay Naturally represents our latest commitment to meeting the expectations of women who want naturally derived products that are what they say they are.”

The new collection features four products: Purifying Cleanser, Exfoliating Powder, Nourishing Oil and Moisturizing Stick. Each has its own blend of ingredients from nature, including sweet almond oil and olive oil to soothe skin, cornflower floral water and vitamin E for their powerhouse antioxidants, and candelilla wax to hydrate, to name a few. “We focused on naturally derived ingredients known for their benefits in supporting skin health,” explains Dr. Gildea.

All ingredients are sustainably sourced, and the collection is third party-certified by COSMOS and Ecocert. To earn a COSMOS natural certification, beauty products must use natural resources responsibly and be processed and manufactured in a way that is safe to human health and the environment.

It's not just the products themselves that are eco-conscious—the packaging is, too. “Our cartons are made from 100 percent post-consumer content, are recyclable and feature Forest Stewardship Council-certified material,” says Dr. Gildea. “At Mary Kay, there is an ongoing commitment to continually evaluate our approach to packaging.” marykay.com/naturally —Celia Shatzman

Mary Kay launches a line of natural skincare products

Everybody loves them, and for good reason

LANIMA KINYINYA ELIXIRMade with an exotic blend of eight nutrient-dense

“superflora,” including Wild African Calabash, Moringa and Neroli, exclusively sourced in Africa, this aptly named elixir also brings an intoxicating scent, with jasmine, ylang-ylang, patchouli, geranium and rosemary. It detoxifies the skin and targets breakouts and inflammation, while offering an aromatherapeutic boost to mind and spirit. lanimaskin.com

DR. WANG NOURISHING YOUTH SERUMWe believe in the power of herbs, and this serum—created

by a board-certified dermatologist at Sloan-Kettering and his acupuncturist father—takes it up a notch, for two reasons. The herbs featured in this lovely, lightweight serum are Chinese herbs, based on the wisdom of thousands of years of Chinese herbal medicine. And, because they don’t use heat (the serum is made with patented cold-pressurized manufacturing technology), the power and potency of the active ingredients survives intact, allowing them to deliver more benefits to dry, aging and sensitive skin. drwangskincare.com —Rona Berg
