Women love their personal care products. They love what they do, or sometimes, what they’re supposed to do. Whether it be youth-driven creams, oil-fighting toners or silky moisturizers—women love buying beauty goods. But a new wave of products, nutricosmetics, is throwing some women for a loop. They are confused and uncertain on what exactly constitutes as a “nutricosmetic”, and the concept of healthy aging in a food or beverage is still unfamiliar to many.
According to The Benchmarking Company’s 2008 Pink Report, “The Age of Naturals,” 91 percent of women don’t know what a nutricosmetic is. But a high amount of women are shopping natural and organic, quickly turning this “fad” into a trend with no signs of slowing.
