From mascara to a tech-driven sexual health tool, Popular Science has released its new list of the most innovative personal care products. Here are the winners in Happi’s area of coverage:
• Benefit’s They’re Real! Magnet Extreme Lengthening Mascara made the shortlist. The mascara's extender brush has a magnetically charged core that pulls the magnetic mineral enriched (iron-oxide) formula along the lashes—up and out beyond the tips, according to the beauty brand. The wand has custom-designed zigzag bristles strategically positioned to fan out, separate and define lashes.
• Droplette, a skin care delivery device designed by MIT-trained female scientists. It dispenses treatments containing ingredients like collagen and retinol into a super-fine mist to aid absorption. Funding and support from Walter Reed Hospital, the National Institutes of Health and NASA, Droplette’s ultimate aim is to use the tech to deliver drugs without needles. Research is currently underway to treat alopecia, battlefield wounds, and a painful condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa, said Popular Science.
• L’Oréal’s water-saving showerhead cartridge that injects shampoos and conditioners from Kérastase and L’Oréal Professionnel directly into the water stream.
