Fabulous skin starts with a great foundation

Prepping the skin enables consumers to use fewer, not more products, and aligns perfectly with today’s requirement for a light, weightless, and naturally luminous look that won’t strip the skin of natural moisture. To enable consumers to make the best coverage choice for their skin and lifestyle, brands and manufacturers are constantly innovating new products in line with their unique beauty needs. The same is true for the beauty ingredients industry where we are seeing an uplift in ground-breaking ingredient solutions to enhance skin health and beauty formulations. At Oleon Health and Beauty, we know that a beautiful visage starts with super hydrated and healthy skin – offering beauty consumers a smooth and even template that will allow foundation, tinted moisturizers, BB creams, and color correctors to do their magic with a lustre and glow that lasts all day!
