(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Mary Kay Inc., a leader in skin care innovation for more than 56 years,
continued its ongoing support of the beauty and scientific communities
by presenting findings during the 2020 Skin of Color Society Symposium
Virtual Program.
Dr. Cristi
Gomez, Director, Product Safety & Environmental Toxicology, revealed
new research on the science behind LumiVie, an intensive serum by Mary
Kay that brightens, energizes and moisturizes skin. As urbanization
increases globally, the effects of pollution on skin is a growing
concern. Chronic exposure to air pollution has been correlated with
visible aging—in particular, the development of pigment spots.
Researchers at Mary Kay developed a skincare formulation containing
botanical extracts and vitamins B3 and C that is both suitable for
sensitive skin and effective at addressing skin pigment concerns. They
also observed improvements in skin tone evenness, luminosity and
texture.
“Our team is
dedicated to conducting research and developing innovative solutions to
address common skin issues that impact women and their self-confidence,”
said Dr. Lucy Gildea, Chief Scientific Officer at Mary Kay. “In 2020,
Mary Kay Research & Development will continue to share the latest
groundbreaking discoveries with the scientific community at large.”
The Skin of
Color Society Symposium Virtual Program is just the latest event Mary
Kay has participated in with scientific and academic communities that
reinforce the brand’s longstanding commitment to advancing skin health
research and development. Every year, Mary Kay conducts hundreds of
thousands of scientific tests on products and ingredients to ensure the
highest standards of safety, quality and performance. Mary Kay holds
more than 1,500 patents for products, technologies and packaging designs
in its global portfolio. In 2018, the company announced the opening of a
more than $100 million state-of-the-art manufacturing and R&D facility in Lewisville, Texas.
