Here is another secret. If you open a jar or bottle of skin care and the product is white… it is full of chemicals. We are led to believe that white is actually good, but when you look at the label just know that all the chemicals are white. Everything in nature… like herbs, oils, flowers, and extracts have color because of their pigments. It is impossible to mix together something that is white and something with pigments and still get white.  Don’t believe me, throw in a red shirt to your white laundry and see what happens.  So how can companies say that they use natural ingredients in their products?  Quite simply they put them in the product in such small pixie dust amounts, they don’t affect the color, but it allows them to list them on the label. But in that small concentration, they won’t do you any good.

Now, let’s talk about shelf life. What gives a product a long shelf life is the preservatives.  Chemical preservatives can give a skin care product 10 years or more of shelf life. But you need to use a combination of them to achieve this.  The problem is that most of these chemicals like parabens, ethylene, butylene and propylene glycols are very toxic to living things, which is how they kill bacteria, viruses and molds.  So, if these chemicals kill living organisms very well, what else do they kill very well…. YOU.   How do we remedy this problem? by only using natural preservatives. We use essential oils, minerals, and fermented fruit extracts that are very effective of keeping bacteria and viruses away.  Our natural preservatives have been tested and retested and give our products a 2-year shelf life. Are products being so popular though…they never need to last that long.

And Finally manufacturing. When we formulate a new product in our lab we use a small 1 gallon mixer.  But when it came to making 100’s of gallons of a certain product, we tried to outsource our manufacturing like the “Big Guys”. Guess what… Most of the biggest skin care companies in the world don’t manufacture their own products.

We have been inside over 50 manufacturing plants all over the united states and watched their processes for making millions of bottles of skin care for all of the popular big companies.  We thought if the Big Guys trust them, we should be able to trust them too… Right?  Wrong.  We tried many different manufacturers for our products and we kept having the same results. Crappy products and lie after lie after lie.

What these manufacturers do is under bid the actual cost of production so they can get the job. Why do they do this? To get you to trust them. See, they will make a few beginning batches of your product at a financial loss, and then on the fourth or fifth batch they start diluting the formula down until they can make back a profit.

Well, we constantly test all of our products, and after this happened to us a third time we said enough is enough. We want our products to be natural, pure, safe and effective, so 10 years ago, we invested over $300,000 on our own manufacturing equipment and we have been making our own products fresh ever since.

Ladies, if you learn one thing from all of this…  it is to do your own research. Read labels. look up ingredients and see their benefits or their dangers. Don’t fall for fake advertising. Supermodels have camera filters and Photoshop.  I hope this information is helpful. Don’t worry… we are looking out for you and your family. Be well.
