BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE – PINK CLOUD BEAUTY CO

NEW! The Pink Cloud Beauty Co is the latest, trend-led collagen drink that benefits hair, skin & nails. The 3-in-1, pink lemonade flavoured drinkable supplement is packed with all the wonder ingredients you need for this:

• Collagen – a complex protein that gives skin strength and elasticity
• Biotin – naturally found in superfoods such as leafy greens and helps to maintain healthy hair and skin
• Selenium – helps protect cells from oxidative stress, allowing for better function of antioxidants
• Vitamin C – a key vitamin that helps collagen formation for normal skin
• Vitamin E – a powerful, natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient

With a more mindful approach to life, the crossover between food and beauty has become ever more apparent and is expected to continue to rise.
