Tea Forte probes beauty market with new skin care range
Tea Forte, a manufacturer of gourmet teas, is introducing a range of products designed to improve skin condition and appearance. The company hopes to tap the booming "beauty from within" trend, one of the hottest ones in the $45 billion beauty business. Tea Forte claims that polyphenols and catechins in the new range promote a more youthful looking and feeling skin appearance. The range carries a Brunswick Labs ORAC seal, which attests to the potency of antioxidants found in foods and beverages that protect cells and their components from damage by oxidative stress, a major factor in the progression of aging. The range includes flavored green, white and red teas. A pack of 16 filter bags retails for $5.95.
