As part of a general need to take good care of our bodies, using superfoods has become a strong trend on food shelves with a growing Instagram presence offering star ingredients such as kale, aloe vera, avocado or chia seeds each season.
Whereas some niche beauty brands were founded on these nutrient-rich, non-toxic ingredients (SOAK, MAYA CHIA), major beauty brands have only just started to launch their own superfood-inspired products.
Using super greens, berries (Supergoop! Açai lip balm) and cereals (Kiel’s Quinoa-based Nightly Concentrate), and playing on the natural beauty trend, they are exploiting the health-giving reputation of these ingredients to turn them into super cosmetics in order to create a holistic, natural and health-promoting experience.
