Ready for your first round of predictions for 2009? Pierce Mattie just released a list of ingredients you'll start seeing more of in the next year. These aren't just any ingredients; these are natural picks that make beauty products do more. From antioxidant-packed berries to vitamin-rich add-ins, get ready for the year of pretty ingredients.
How do we know this? We've already snapped up products that feature these magical wonders.
Argan Oil: This incredible skin care miracle, known for being one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin E with 80% essential fatty acids, has been a beauty secret of Moroccan women for centuries. It can be dually used on skin and in hair for its high level of antioxidants and ability to replenish hair and skin’s natural moisture.
Future forward: Argan oil is the secret ingredient in Josie Maran's makeup!
Acai: Sometimes referred to as “The Fountain of Youth,” this Brazilian berry contains antioxidants, amino acids, essential omegas, fibers and protein that positions itself as a formidable fighter in anti-aging products. Acai can be found across the board in skin care, cosmetics and hair care products.
Future forward: Find this in tarte's cheek stain!
Goji Berries: This nutrient-rich berry, well known as Wolfberries in the Himalayas, has often been called a “super food” due to its abilities to fight free radicals and boost the immune system. While there are no inherent benefits of Goji in fragrance, that hasn’t stopped perfumers from including this sweet yet tart scent into their perfumes.
Future forward: Smashbox added this to O-Gloss!
Baobab: Rich in riboflavin, niacin and vitamins C, A, D and E, baobab has incredible anti-aging properties although you won’t just find it in creams and moisturizers, but also in exfoliating scrubs and hair care.
Future forward:Korres puts this in their Wild Rose serums!
Acerola: Ingredients high in Vitamin C, like acerola, are being used more often due to their ability to even out skin tone and brighten complexion. Skin care brands will be using acerola more to target those who have issues with skin redness and inflammation.
Future forward: Find this in nude skincare!
Blueberry: Chock full of amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, blueberries are another super food that will be used to fight aging in beauty products. Also known as a “super fruit,” blueberries have long been known for its ability to revitalize the skin; it was just a matter of time before beauty brands began to incorporate it more into their skin care products.
Future forward: Try out Ole Henrikksen's berry mask!
Probiotics: Last year Pierce Mattie PR termed probiotics a “buzzword” among beauty brands, but now those brands are delivering more than just buzz with this sister category to Cosmeceuticals and Nutraceuticals. Probiotic skin care will be branded as another “clinical-like” line of products, which beauty consumers tend to lean towards as science-based.
Future forward: Try it as a supplement in PerriconeMD!
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3: This Cosmeceutical is found more often in anti-aging products to fight fine lines and wrinkles will be even more prevalent in 2009. Products that contain Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3 will be branded as a temporary alternative to cosmetic procedures.
Future forward: Try Palmitoyl Tripeptide-7 in Peter Thomas Roth first!
Myrrh: With the increasing popularity of Ayurveda in the Unites States, this ancient ingredient is also showing up in perfumes and skin care products. The rich royal resin with the slight vanilla fragrance so popular in incense also stimulates circulation and has lifting effects.
Future forward: Bliss has this in their new Vanilla+Bergamont body butter!
Turmeric: A highly regarded ingredient in India, Turmeric is widely known for its medicinal properties. Turmeric will be found in acne-related creams and lotions, as it is an antiseptic and can aid in preventing and removing blemishes. It will also be found in hair removal products as well as in the formulation of sunscreen in more natural products as well.
Future forward: Find it in Sephora's Power Mask - Fusio-Fiber Face Mask

All those "natural" products and you didn't mention ONE REN product in the bunch. I am confused, they have more of those types of ingredients and more of the ingredients that all of those lines. Cutting edge botanical formulas with incredible results too.
Ooooh I have Josie Maran's 100% Pure Argan Oil (along with a few her line's other offerings like tinted moisturizer, cream bronzer, cream blush, and finger paints all of which include Argan Oil as one of their ingredients). Back to her 100% Pure Argan Oil, its fantastic! I absolutely love it! It hydrates while still fighting acne and aging. I like to mix one drop (two drops if my skin is feeling a bit dry) into my usual oil-free light moisturizer and my skin has never looked better since I started doing that and using a clarisonic brush to cleanse. I've also used it on my hair, cuticles, lips, any dry spots, you name it! There are so many ways to use this stuff!
ACAI is SO 2007. For 2009, look to see Maqui Berry, aka as chilean wineberry. This has a MUCH higher ORAC value than Acai has. ORAC is of course the marker for antioxidants in such botanical ingredients.
