Skin Nutrition - Founder's Blog http://www.skinnutrition.com/news Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:48:36 +0000http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2enhourly1Why Skin Nutrition is so Efficacious http://www.skinnutrition.com/news/why-skin-nutrition-is-so-efficacious/ http://www.skinnutrition.com/news/why-skin-nutrition-is-so-efficacious/#commentsThu, 15 Jul 2010 03:48:36 +0000Richardhttp://www.skinnutrition.com/news/?p=40I get emails and letters regularly from customers telling me how happy they are with their Skin Nutrition products and how they’ve achieved results never experienced before with any brand. They also ask why that is. There is not a simple answer to this but what I will say is there are some core philosophies of ours which we have never deviated from and never will.
We start with leading-edge, technologically advanced ingredients, many of which are proprietary, and ensure every molecule in every ingredient we use is recognizable and utilizable by our bodies and that none of them are potentially harmful.
Further to this, every ingredient we use must be clean and free of harsh chemicals as well as compatible with our bodies and our bodies natural biological processes, which ensures optimal assimilation and efficacy. Often chemically derived ingredients are unrecognizable to our bodies and can potentially cause irritation and be harmful, creating chemical build-up and cellular toxicity.
Another key focus at Skin Nutrition is the efficiency and targeting of our ingredients. We have developed our own unique, clinically proven technology, for the delivery of these ingredients. We micro-encapsulate our actives into what we call nanospheres, which we are extremely methodical about because we can deliver higher concentrations of actives that are far more stable, without any dilution (which is normally impossible), to ensure maximum efficacy, for you, our customer.
These are just some of Skin Nutrition’s points of difference that help facilitate the results!

I think it is fitting to send BP another message by boycotting their gas stations. Please do not buy gas from any BP, Amoco, AM/PM or ARCO gas stations until they have resolved the problem and we can see a positive impact is being made on the cleanup in the affected areas.

We at Skin Nutrition feel QVC is a perfect platform for the brand as it allows the unique points of difference to be communicated like no other medium and we look forward to working with them.

TCJC has more than 20 years experience with QVC and believes Skin Nutrition is the perfect brand for them. Skin Nutrition has been contemplating for some time whether or not QVC is the right platform for its brand and after much deliberation with TCJC, we are now 100% confident it is the right fit as it allows the major points of differences of the brand to be communicated in a way currently unavailable.

Olive facial cleansers are far healthier for the skin than ones based with alcohol or petroleum products. Chemicals and synthetic ingredients are drying and irritating to the skin and it is always better to use an all-natural product than to put chemicals on your face.
Too many companies use cheap and nasty chemical cleansing & foaming agents, emulsifiers, and thickening additives without giving any care to the potential damage these ingredients might cause the end-user.
When you use products containing chemicals, these chemicals can enter your bloodstream as they can be absorbed through your pores. This is the equivalent to eating these products. When you stop to realize that skin care products and weed killers have ingredients in common, you begin to see the potential for danger that chemical based products pose.
Olive oil and olive derived ingredients contain properties which make it more closely compatible with the natural oil that our body produces than any other plant oil. It is an excellent source of phyto-nutrients, which our cells lap up, healing antioxidants, is one of the best facial moisturizers for your skin, and balances the production of sebum in your skin, so that it cannot be too dry, or too oily.
Long before the idea came about for an olive facial cleanser the people of the Mediterranean were pressing olives for their precious juice. Olive oil has a rich history in the Mediterranean, where it has been far more than mere food. It has been used medicinally, it has played a role in religious rituals, and it has been used in soap-making for hundreds and hundreds of years. The oldest surviving olive oil amphorae dates back to the early Minoan times of 3500 BC and some of the presses that date back to the Roman period are still in use today.
We at Skin Nutrition have understood the benefits of olive derived ingredients since inception, and not only use them in both of our facial cleansers, but we use them in nearly every topical skin care product we make and have made from day 1. We do not use chemical cleansing & foaming agents, emulsifiers, and thickening additives; we only use all natural ingredients, which include Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Olivem 1000, 800, and 400.
Look for these ingredients the next time you look at a label of an olive based cleanser or skin care product.

Fabulous Face was designed to support and promote acne-free skin by helping to reduce excess sebum production, inflammation, promoting the flushing of blemish-causing toxins and supporting healthy cell turnover that assists in the reduction of clogged pores.

The study was conducted over several months with clinical examinations before subjects started using the product and every two weeks thereafter. Every examination after first use yielded fantastic results, but the one we think you’ll most want to hear about is the one after first use at week two. After just two weeks use the following was recorded:
• 31% decrease in fine lines
• 27% increase in skin hydration
• Improved skin elasticity
• Improved skin brightness and radiance
• Reduction in skin redness
• Reduction of the darkness of hyperpigmented areas

There will be some minor reformulations on the top sellers as there are a few new ingredients we would like to add in that were not available when we originally developed the range 4 years ago. We are also modifying the airless bottles to include a window so one can see the level of contents (consumers you have been heard). Sadly there will be a few items discontinued such as the Environmental Protection Serum and the Protective Daily Moisturizer. These have been fantastic products but will be replaced in the not too distant future.

Based on the initial review of data these are the findings:
1) Increase in skin hydration at Week 2, 4 and 6.
2) Increase in skin elasticity at Week 2, 4 and 6.
3) Improvement in skin brightness at Week 2, 4 and 6.
4) Improvement in the appearance of select hyper-pigmented spots (lightened).
5) Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles at Week 2, 4, and 6.
They said this is extremely rare from a single product!
They have got to complete the statistical analysis, the visual evaluation of photographs, and the analysis of the silicone imprints to be able to give us exact numbers/percentages of improvements etc. and this will by 4/8.
We are already working on a huge international press release on this and will just add in the numbers when we get the final report on the 8th.

Both will be mineral base and so clean you can even sleep with them on! Baked powders go on much smoother and creamier than regular powders, without leaving that grainy finish that powders do, rather a flawless surface finish.
We would love to hear what your thoughts are on the concept and if you have any suggestions on shades or anything else, such as what you would love to see in the product etc.
Further to the above, before we launch any of our products we like to do focus groups and get consumer feedback, so for any of you in the US, please let us know if you would like to participate in this.
