The latest beauty trend: Inner Botanical × Lipton! Introducing the "Lipton Botanic Tea Series," a tea series that makes a simple beauty routine possible just by drinking it.

Lipton, the tea brand developed by Unilever Japan Customer Marketing Co., Ltd., will launch three types of "Lipton Botanic Tea" (Beauty, Pure Cleanse, Bedtime Bliss) on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. The new series focuses on "Inner Botanical," a concept aimed at achieving beauty from within by consuming various botanical ingredients. The teas will be available at supermarkets, general retail stores nationwide, and the official Lipton online store.

■ The New Beauty Ritual: "Inner Botanical," a Buzz Among International Celebrities
The term "botanical," meaning "plant-derived" in English, evokes a natural and stylish image, reminiscent of houseplants and flowers. Its appeal also lies in the unique ingredients and fragrances derived from plants. This has made it a major trend, particularly in beauty products like hair and skincare. Spreading from international celebrities and the beauty-conscious, botanicals have garnered support from many women, evolving into a beauty genre that transcends a fleeting trend.
Building on this movement, "Inner Botanical" represents the latest trend, taking it a step further. Inner Botanical is a new beauty concept that aims for inner radiance by focusing on food and beverages, and by consuming "botanical" ingredients such as fruits, herbs, and flowers.

■ Introducing the New "Botanic Tea" Series, Focused on Inner Botanical!
Lipton introduces the new "Botanic Tea" series as a daily ritual for inner beauty. Three types of blended teas have been developed, combining carefully selected natural botanical ingredients with a base tea, all designed for beauty.
"Beauty," which leads to hydrated radiance from within, blends hibiscus, known as the "crimson flower" and rich in citric acid, along with rosehip, into rooibos tea. "Pure Cleanse," for a light and refreshing feeling, blends peppermint, referred to as "western mint," along with lemongrass and nettle—botanical ingredients perfect for a refreshing break—with green tea. "Bedtime Bliss," recommended for a soothing pre-sleep ritual, blends lavender, known as the "queen of herbs," along with chamomile and linden, into caffeine-free black tea.

Why not start an easy inner botanical routine, simply by drinking Botanic Tea for your mental and physical well-being?

● What is the New Beauty Trend, "Inner Botanical"?
"Botanical" originates from "plant-derived." Previously, products marketed as "botanical" primarily focused on "taking in the power of plants from the outside of the body," mainly in hair and skincare. However, influenced by the spread of "inner beauty" practices, a new trend called "Inner Botanical" is emerging, which involves more effectively consuming plant-derived ingredients through beverages and other means. Celebrities are also practicing "Inner Botanical" to efficiently incorporate plant power into their busy lives, marking what could be called a second botanical boom.

● What are the Benefits of "Inner Botanical"?
"Inner Botanical," which focuses on "botanical" ingredients and aims for inner radiance, is perfect for those seeking beauty and well-being from within. It's not only suitable for those concerned about beauty and health but also offers the significant benefit of promoting relaxation and refreshment.
Combining different types of plants allows for approaches tailored to specific goals, which is another appealing aspect.

● Recommended Points for "Drinking" Inner Botanical with Tea!
The appeal lies in easily incorporating this beauty trend into your daily life simply by enjoying delicious drinks, allowing you to care for your beauty and health. While some single herbal teas can have an acquired taste, Botanic Tea offers a wide range of botanical ingredients while also delivering excellent "taste" and "aroma," making it easy to adopt as a daily beauty ritual.

An "Inner Botanical BOOK" has also been created under Dr. Kudo's supervision!
