Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company, has introduced Glowelle, a dietary supplement that they say protects and hydrates the inner and outer layers of the skin. Their marketing blurb says it is formulated with a proprietary(naturally) blend of high antioxidant vitamins (like vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E), phtyo-nutrients, botanical and fruit extracts and that drinking it will help fight the signs of aging.Glowelle's antioxidants help defend against the damage caused by free radicals, which are caused by pollution ... and the sun.


You know, the sun. Source of all life on Earth. It's apparently bad for you. Except for that vitamin C antioxidant they put in Glowelle, which you can get for free ... from the sun.

Kimberly Cooper, Chief Beauty Officer (seriously, that's her title) at Glowelle, says their new product "addresses both beauty and wellness holistically."

As an added benefit to your wellness, they have packaged it in beautiful ready-to-drink glass bottles (because part of the holistic nature of the treatment is making sure you like the bottle) as well as seven- and 30-day powder kits - in two flavors, Natural Raspberry Jasmine Flavor and Natural Pomegranate Lychee Flavor.

Because beauty is only essential for rich women, Glowelle is available exclusively at Neiman Marcus stores nationwide and Bergdorf Goodman. It can also be found online at NeimanMarcus.com.


Nestlé S.A. is headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland and is the world's largest food company, with 2007 sales of $90 billion. Only $8.25 billion of that came from US sales, so it's nice to know Americans are only 9% as stupid as the rest of the world.

Naturally, the company wants you to know their claims have not been evaluated by the FDA and Glowelle is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, so we include it here, in case you actually believe marketing hype.
