Beauty booster you can lick

Good food,
health and beauty… the things in life we should not take for granted. And now,
they come together in Crème De La Crème’s latest creation, Beauty Elixir, an
ice cream designed to give beauty a boost.

| Beauty Elixir and some of the ingredients that go into its making |
Beauty
Elixir is sugar free and the sweetness comes from maltitol. Not only that but
it also has plenty of benefits from ingredients that include Gluthathione,
Collagen, Vitamin C, Rose Water, Lychee and Cherry Blossom.

| Dr Steve Chia |
To create
Beauty Elixir, the CDLC team worked with Dr Steve Chia, medical director of
Sliq Clinic. At the launch, Dr Chia conceded that while he was not expecting
people to eat nothing but ice cream for its beautifying properties, Beauty Elixir
is the perfect dessert to indulge in without guilt.
I must agree.
If one is looking for a frozen treat, don’t lick empty sugar-laden calories.
I’d rather have a scoop of Beauty Elixir, a dessert treat with benefits.
The idea of
food for beauty is not new. Today, we consume pills, tonic brews and organic
produce. In the past, women in particular, sipped ginseng and floral brews as
well as desserts made with peach resin, red dates, goji berries and what not.
For CDLC
managing director Lio Lim, his double-edged passions, beauty and ice cream,
started his quest for an iced treat that was not only guilt free but also
lusciously delicious. He’s totally chuffed about Beauty Elixir and is proud to
have come up with “the first ice cream in the world with beauty properties”.
The
ingredients in Beauty Elixir (RM12.90/scoop) come together in a delightfully
delicious dessert treat. Each
ingredient is picked for what it has to offer in the beauty equation.
1. Gluthathione
is an anti-oxidant that helps to even out skin tone and brightens skin to give
it a glow.
2. Vitamin C
works to neutralise free radicals as well as detoxifies and boost the immune
system. Also known to work on melanin (dark skin has greater amounts of
melanin) and inhibit the production of tyrosinase (key enzyme in melanin
synthesis) Vitamin C performs best in collaboration with Gluthathione for the
best skin whitening results.
3. As for
Collagen, it’s not only important for skin elasticity and firmness but is
imperative to prevent ageing. It can also repair skin damage caused by acne and
lightens blemishes, scars and freckles.

4. Cherry
blossom or Sakura is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing
properties.
5. Rose water,
commonly used in beauty treatments, is traditionally popular in Europe and from
India to Persia.
6. Lychee adds
a lovely aroma and is also rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, fibre and
phytonutrient flavonoids.
Apart from
ice cream, there’s also Essence of Beauty (RM18.90), a drink scented with
lychee and rose. It’s topped with two little scoops of Beauty Elixir. Just stir
to mix the ice cream into the drink for cool, creamy sips.

Meanwhile, I
am delighted to see new additions to the range of Petits Gateaux (RM22-RM25).
These pretty mini ice-cream cakes include Longevity, Ondeh-Ondeh and
Cappuccino.
Perfect for
celebrating birthdays, the longevity peach is made of matcha and black sesame
ice cream with mango yuzu compote, lemon curd, matcha sponge and coated with a
white chocolate dip.
Ondeh-Ondeh
comes in 4 balls of pandan kaya ice cream with ginger sorbet, gula Melaka
sauce, white chocolate dip and rolled in dessicated coconut.
Cappuccino
of course, is a triple ice cream combination of coffee, salted caramel and
Madagascar vanilla with cookie crumble, coffee joconde (sponge cake), chocolate
dip and topped with torched marshmallow.
Celebrer la
vie!
