Microbiome-Balancing Highlighters

The line between skincare and cosmetics is becoming less defined than ever, especially with the release of products like Givaudan Active Beauty's Skin Care Highlighter. This product is touted as a "unique glowing concentrate powered by active ingredients" and takes the form of a transforming gel that can be used on the cheekbones, chin, nose, browbone and upper lip. The skincare-like makeup product boasts a microbiome-friendly formula and offers a simple way for consumers to achieve the look of "glass skin."

The Skin Care Highlighter is powered by six active ingredients that are beneficial for plumping, hydrating, brightening, plus minimizing the size of the pores and reducing redness. Some of the key ingredients in the formula are upcycled vetiver roots, Yogurtene Balance—a prebiotic and paraprobiotic.
