BeautyBio's lightweight ZenBubble Gel Cream is a [multipurpose product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multivitamin-power-recovery-cream) that's packed with superfoods and [stress-relieving ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-acne-biome) to combat five visible effects of stress like redness, breakouts and excessive dryness. The shielding skincare product is powered by Double Bubble technology that offers surface protection and support at the deeper layers of the skin. According to the brand, The ZenBubble Gel Cream is "the first cream to deliver intense hydration and oil control simultaneously; absorbs excess sebum and impurities helping to mattify the appearance of oily skin."

Some of the key ingredients in the protective skincare product are Phyto Marine Actives that have evolved to thrive in volatile climates, ancient herbs with skin-calming benefits and [antioxidant-rich chamomile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repair-barrier-cream), which is particularly beneficial for speeding up the process of cellular regeneration.
