Luminera Adds a Glow To Facial Cosmetic Products

Ariel Laboratories’ new raw material, Luminera, is an innovative ingredient that when added to base formulas, such as under eye concealers, tinted moisturizers and lip moisturizers, helps to increase luminosity, making skin appear brighter and more youthful.

Aging skin, which has been subjected to sunlight, loses its youthful appearance due to an inability to fluoresce blue and green light. This lack of fluorescence often produces an uneven skin tone, discoloration and an overall unhealthy appearance.

Some facial formulas use opaque pigments that simply cover and mask these imperfections, producing a lackluster look. However, Luminera uses transparent particles, containing a diamond core complex, that transform invisible UV light into blue light, emitting a natural-looking and youthful glow.As the particles settle on the skin, reflecting a blue glow, they dramatically diminish the expression of discolorations and imperfections in the skin.
