Is Mary Kay Botanical Effects good for your skin?
The dragon fruit extract included in each Botanical Effects® product is rich in antioxidants to help fight skin-damaging free radicals. Dragon fruit contains fatty acids and several B-complex vitamins, including the often-called “anti-stress vitamin” B1 [thiamin], plus B2 [riboflavin] and B3 [niacin].
Does Mary Kay Botanical Effects contain parabens?
What I really like about this skincare line is that it is free of sulfates, paraben, fragrance and is oil free. In addition, it won't clog pores and is suitable for those even with sensitive skin as it has been tested for skin irritations and allergies by dermatologists.
