DALLAS, July 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With a global
portfolio of more than 1,300 patents for products, technologies and
packaging designs, innovation leader Mary
Kay announces a beauty industry first at the company's
annual U.S. Seminar. As nearly 30,000 Mary Kay
Independent Beauty Consultants convene in Dallas, the global cosmetics powerhouse
introduces a breakthrough in beauty technology, TimeWise®
Vitamin C Activating Squares™.
Since the iconic beauty company was founded in 1963, Mary Kay
Inc. has fostered a culture of creativity and innovation and
invests millions of dollars in research and development. The
company conducts hundreds of thousands of tests each year to ensure
Mary Kay® products meet the highest standards of safety and
performance.
"Mary Kay is on the front lines
of innovation and we're excited to announce a beauty industry first
in the form of our TimeWise® Vitamin C Activating
Squares™ at our annual U.S. Seminar," said Dr. Lucy Gildea, Chief Scientific Officer for Mary
Kay Inc. "Pure vitamin C degrades and loses its power over
time when exposed to air, light or water, but with the new Mary
Kay® dissolvable vitamin C square, a serum is enhanced and boosted
with a fresh, pure and potent vitamin C elixir. It's a
revolutionary skin care innovation in the palm of your hand."
To date, more than 1,300 Mary Kay
patents have been granted and in 2016 another 130 patents were
awarded. The milestones validate Mary
Kay's status as one of the top innovators in the direct
selling and cosmetic industries. Mary Kay Independent Beauty
Consultants will get their first look at the newly launched
innovations at the company's annual U.S. Seminar held July 20 through Aug. 4 at the Kay Bailey
Hutchison Convention Center Dallas. The convention, comprised
of four back-to-back conferences, is one of the largest annual
events in North Texas based on
attendance, economic impact and hotel room nights.
"We love summers in Dallas
because we get to welcome thousands of Mary Kay Independent Beauty
Consultants from every corner of the country, as well as those
traffic-stopping Mary Kay pink
Cadillacs, who return to our hometown of Dallas for the company's annual Seminar," said
Nathan Moore, President of
Mary Kay's North America
Region. "As we celebrate the success of our Mary Kay entrepreneurs through recognition,
education, inspiration and motivation for the year ahead, the event
gives a generous boost to our local economy."
The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates Seminar 2017
will pump $48 million into the
North Texas economy and supports
4,665 jobs in the Dallas area.
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center has hosted nearly
1.2 million attendees for Mary Kay's
Seminar since 1974. During this year's event, approximately
$5 million in recognition prizes will
be awarded including the coveted Mary
Kay pink Cadillac.
