If you've ever worn makeup, you've almost certainly bought a product by Estee Lauder at some point in your life. Estee Lauder herself is no longer with us, but the company she set up still sells millions of products every year, and much of the profit goes to her granddaughter Aerin Lauder. Lauder grew up surrounded by the family trade and is now an integral part of the company, serving as its image and style director.
She still finds the time to pursue her own independent business endeavors though. Her company 'Aerin' also makes makeup, but on top of that it designs and sells home furnishings, home accessories, fragrances, and clothing. Her self-named company isn't as big as her grandmother's just yet, but it's on its way. While she's waiting for the big money to roll in through 'Aerin,' she can sit back on the more-than-one-billion dollars she's both inherited and earned through Estee Lauder.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
