PRESENTS NEW FINDINGS ON A BOTANICAL LEAF EXTRACT

Mary Kay Inc., a global leader in skin care innovation and nutritional science, recently investigated the benefits of a botanical leaf extract when included in nutritional drinks containing protein, fat and fiber. The findings, which the Mary Kay Global Nutrition Research & Innovation team shared at the American Society for Nutrition’s Annual Conference, could have a significant impact on our understanding of botanical leaf extract rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, alkaloids and 1-deoxynojirimycin and other active components to lower glucose response and improve satiety in consumers.

According to research by Mary Kay, the consumption of nutritional drinks with this extract produced a significantly lower postprandial glucose response compared to consumption of drinks without it. The data also indicated that this extract supports “low Glycemic Index” properties. In addition, subjects who consumed the drink also reported improved satiety.

“This is just one example of the amazing research and efforts of Mary Kay scientists,” said Jen Alfrey, senior director of global nutrition at Mary Kay. “Investigating ways to enhance health, increase wellness and improve beauty through nutrition is a priority for the team.”

The research revealed is just the latest effort by Mary Kay to reinforce the brand’s long-standing commitment to advancing skin health, research and development and nutrition. Mary Kay holds more than 1,600 patents for products, technologies and packaging designs in its global portfolio.

MEET FAME, PACO RABANNE’S NEW PARISIAN FRAGRANCE

Capturing the Parisian spirit of the Paco Rabanne woman, Fame perfume pays tribute to a new era of femininity. The quintessence of avant-garde luxury, this perfume is a blend of exceptionally pure jasmine, succulent mango and an addictively sensual creamy incense.

To bring Fame to life, Paco Rabanne partnered with actress Elle Fanning as the ambassador of the new fragrance. A true icon for today’s fashion-forward, connected, ultra-creative young women, Elle Fanning joins a glamorous line of Paco Rabanne muses. Think Jane Fonda as Barbarella, Audrey Hepburn in “Two for the Road,” Brigitte Bardot in glittering chainmail, Françoise Hardy in a mini dress assembled from gold plates inlaid with diamonds.

“I am thrilled to be an ambassador of a brand as iconic as Paco Rabanne. I was completely taken by the concept and felt like it was a perfect fit and really reflects my personality. Being part of this new chapter was an immediate yes!” said Fanning.

“Multifaceted and multitalented, Elle Fanning couldn’t be a better choice as the face of Fame,” said Paco Rabanne Vice President Jérôme Leloup. “She embodies the very essence of Paco Rabanne’s ultramodern femininity, and we are very happy to have her as the ambassador for our new fragrance.”

A super-innovative composition, bursting with precious ingredients, Fame is created with 90% natural origin ingredients, crafted in Grasse from precious, customized, sustainable elements obtained through cutting-edge technology to create a truly irresistible scent that radiates joy and audacious sensuality.

Fame Eau de Parfum is available at top retailers including Macy’s, Ulta, Sephora, Nordstrom, Dillard’s and more.
