The new formula and Alaska trip were depicted on the Kiehl’s float “The Beauty of Adventure” in the 127th Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1 in Pasadena, Calif. Dry skin affects both men and women. To help, Kiehl’s chemists created the facial moisturizer for dry skin using edelweiss flower extract. It’s rich in leontopodic acid, a “survivor molecule” that possesses strong anti-oxidative and plant DNAprotective properties, which contribute to the flower’s resiliency at high altitudes and in harmful environments. The formula also contains antarcticine, which stimu- lates collagen and elastin formation; glycerin for water distribution; and squalane, derived from olives, to lock in moisture. The unique balm-textured product is so successful at providing 24-hour daily face hydration that immediately after application, more than 96 percent of those whotried it said their skin no longer appeared dry and flaky and more than 94 percent said their skin felt protected. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm is available at www.kiehls.com/Ultra-FacialBalm, www.Kiehls.com, by mail order at (800) KIEHLS-2 and at select specialty retailers.
