Jessica Simpson’s Edible Cosmetics: Dessert Treats

Jessica Simpson has risen to fame and stardom not only because of her hugely successful singing and recording career, but also because of her popular MTV reality show Newlyweds with ex-husband Nick Lachey.

A native of Texas, Jessica has now created a great smelling, edible cosmetics and body care line in a variety of delicious and sweet flavors and scents. Dessert Beauty was first launched in April of 2004. The rich, decadent line offers everything from body bubbles to lip glosses, perfumes and body shimmers. There is even a whipped body cream in a canister with sprinkles.

The flavors come in all kinds of delicious smells such as Creamy (a cake like scent), Dreamy (a chocolate and coconut combination), and Juicy (a fruity, tangy smell). “Taste” is the newest addition to the line created by Simpson and is a combination of some of her favorite flavors and smells. The perfume is one of Sephora’s best sellers.

All of the items Dessert Beauty offers claim to be not only sweet smelling, but edible as well. Not to fear, however, Simpson and president and co-founder Randi Schinder (owner of Clean Cosmetics) consulted with top chemists to ensure that the products are also good for your skin in addition to enticing the senses and contain the highest quality ingredients like shea butter and natural oils.

The Dessert Treats line is a younger, fresher version of the Dessert Beauty line. The flavors are slightly simpler and a little more playful. Scents such as bubblegum, cotton candy, lollipop and banana split are just some of the sweet concoctions sold in the line.

Walgreens and Eckerd drugstores are just some of the retail chains offering the Dessert Treats line for sale at most of their cosmetics counters, so they are becoming more accessible to consumers.

Simpson says this is her most favorite line yet, because the scents are fun, flirty and familiar. She said she had a terrific time designing and trying out the new fragrances and flavors. The Dessert Treats line is currently offered at over 10,000 retailers worldwide and is somewhat less expensive than its counterparts, making it more available to a wider range of people.
