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.
