Mary Kay Botanical Effects Skin Care
Mary Kay’s new skin care range ‘Botanical Effects’ has
launched in the UK and is combining the merits of green loving eco warrior princess
with pink loving fresh faced girl next door.
The Packaging
Looking fresh in white with pale green and a touch of pink
and lilac, this packaging is not just a pretty face but is also helping mother
earth. The tube sleeves are made from 50% post-consumer recycled resin material
and the carton from 100% recycled material. The carton and freshen bottle can
both be recycled. And the tube caps use
3% less plastic than traditional flip top caps.
The Formulas
There are two formulas: normal to dry and combination to
oily.
Both contain:
Silymarin (milk thistle) an antioxidant to help defend
against environmental damage and help to calm and soothe the skin
Luo Han Guo (longevity fruit) known to contain potent
antioxidants and believed to help promote healthy skin.

| Moisturiser £19 |
![]() |
| Mask £15 |
What they don’t contain are any synthetic dyes or
fragrances.
They also don’t contain any anti
ageing ingredients as this range is targeted for young women who are not yet
concerned with the ageing effects. They don’t need anything rich and heavy,
just products that will enhance and allow their already youthful glow to
radiate through.- Ah to be young again!!
Plus the exclusion of
these anti ageing ingredients also keeps the cost of the products down.
But all is not lost for us ‘wrinklies’ – we may need a rich moisturiser
and mask packed with anti ageing hero ingredients, but we can still use the
gentle cleanser and freshener.

| Freshener £13 |

| Cleanser £13 |
The natural ingredients, eco friendly packaging and low
costs make this range ideal for young women embarking on their first serious
skin care routine.
