Beauty Bite
Who says having a sweet tooth is a bad thing? According to Borba, a nutraceutical and cosmeceutical company, sweets can actually be very good—for your skin. Along with a selection of skin balancing waters, Borba has created beauty-benefiting candies called Gummi Boosters and Jelli Boosters. Their approach is to target the root of skin problems instead of tackling the problems—such as wrinkles, acne, and age spots—once they surface. Gummi-like bears and jelly-like beans are infused with acai and green tea extracts as well as biogenic vitamin C, which are said to help detox the pores and strengthen the capillary walls, returning the skin to its naturally radiant state.
The sweet trend doesn’t stop there. Borba is just one of the slew of nutri-cosmetics packing beauty-promising potions into some of our favorite treats. Next time you are strolling down the gourmet aisle, don’t be surprised if you find anti-wrinkle jams (which are spreading through France) or collagen marshmallows (which are puffing up faces in Japan).
