MANILA, Philippines - The Body Shop introduces new Extra Virgin Minerals, an innovative range of 100-percent-pure mineral ultra-blendable foundations available in eight shades and three formats: liquid, powder and cream. This first mineral makeup collection features an exclusive combination of Community Fair Trade pure cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil and ultra-fine mineral pigments for foundation that’s good for the skin: virtually weightless, containing SPF, non-irritating and fragrance- and paraben-free so it suits all skin types, including sensitive and blemished skin.
The Body Shop also introduces a new lip sensation: its first 100-percent-natural lip roll-on (P295) for lips crying out for moisturization and nourishment. This natural lip oil with unique roller-ball applicator is available in four flavors: Zesty Orange, Romantic Rose, Revitalising Mint and Berry Goodness. Unlike lip balm or lip gloss, this lip oil won’t leave your lips feeling sticky or waxy. Wear it alone for a natural sheen or over your favorite shade of lipstick for a gloss effect.
The next generation of skincare for women over 40 is also available at The Body Shop. The new Natrulift Refreshing Eye Roll-on and Firming Day Lotion SPF 15 harness the power of organic “superfruit” pomegranate to firm skin and soften fine lines and wrinkles within four weeks. Other products in the Natrulift line are softening facial wash, softening toner, firming day cream, softening cream cleanser, softening serum and firming night cream.
