Good Skin Care Tips

Stem Cell Products has announced a special program to spread the word on its new skin care line called Signals120 (http://www.signals120.com).

Instead of the retail price of $249.95 for a basic kit that lasts a month, SCP will be offering a two-month supply for only $99.95 or roughly $50 a month. “We are doing this to make it really easy for people to afford the many benefits of our product,” says David Kekich, Chairman of SCP and one of the leading advocates of extended life spans. “We have found that once you experience the effect of Signals120 and how it actually reverses the aging process, you’ll be our customer for life and a much longer life at that.”

According to Kekich, “The lower price will be locked in for three years giving all those who order now a decided advantage.” And he points out that some of his customers find that a two-month supply often lasts more than three months depending how much you use.

Scientists from SCP have done several clinical and genetic studies and have found that the compounds used in Signals120 actually affect over 70 of the genes attributed to healthy skin. “And we’re finding that women are also sharing their signals with their mates,” says Kekich. But there’s more.

In one study, the skin hydration in women improved over 107% within two weeks. “That’s like taking a raisin and turning it into a grape,” says Kekich.

The sale will last for the month of September. “We will always have product in inventory for our existing customers so that once you start taking Signals120 you won’t run out,” says Kekich.

SCP is one of the leading companies in stem cell research and anti-aging peptides. It’s compounds are among the most advanced in the field according to Kekich. “We believe that science is moving so quickly that within the next fifteen years, we should be able to live healthy lives to 120 years of age.”

Market research conducted using Signals120 showed that once a person starts using the product, they quickly experience the advantages of the skin care line and continue to purchase it. “The key is getting them to just start using the product and we believe that dramatically reducing the price will get more people testing Signals120,” says Joseph Sugarman, President and CEO of SCP and one of the nation’s top marketing experts. “I’m putting my reputation behind this product,” says Sugarman.

Unigen, Inc., a global leader in the discovery and development of patented clinically-tested plant-derived active ingredients to the dietary supplement, food, cosmetics, personal care and pharmaceutical industries announces the launch of Bakutrol, a powerful triple-acting botanical skin care ingredient offering anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring benefits. Unigen is currently discussing licensing and supply agreements with some of the world’s premiere manufacturers and marketers of quality skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair care products. Under these agreements, Unigen will provide Bakutrol, in their leading brands on a global basis.

Nearly 85% of the US population between the ages of 12-24 will develop some type of microbial or inflammatory skin condition such as acne. Global sales of acne treatments in 2009 were estimated at $600 million, an increase of 22% from 2003. Current topical anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring treatments, such as benzoyl peroxide and retinoids, often cause skin irritation, dryness and other unwanted side effects which limit compliance and reduces effectiveness.

Unigen’s Bakutrol is a natural botanical alternative, derived from the novel plant extract Psolarea corylifolia, and has been scientifically proven to visibly improve skin appearance. Bakutrol contains bakuchiol, a compound which has been shown to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and to inhibit the COX/LOX inflammatory pathways. In clinical studies, Bakutrol reduced both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions without the adverse side effects often found with harsh chemicals. Additionally, Bakutrol significantly reduces scarring or Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), the dark spots left behind long after the acne lesion has healed. Unlike traditional acne treatments, only Bakutrol has been clinically proven to reduce PIH. It has been thoroughly safety tested by independent third party institutes and has shown no adverse side effects. Bakutrol is highly compatible in formulation with other acne care ingredients, such as salicylic acid, and can be used as an active agent in creams, lotions, gels, masks and other cosmetic products. Additionally, Bakutrol has multiple global patents pending.

Pat Schneider, Unigen’s Chief Business Officer is extremely upbeat about the opportunities for Bakutrol. “We are very excited to be working with several forward thinking giants in the cosmetic industry to provide safe, novel botanical ingredients like Bakutrol and help develop superior skin care products.” said Schneider. Unigen’s scientific expertise in researching and discovering patented, clinically effective, natural ingredients has made significant advancements in the development of next generation skin care products.  Schneider added, “Bakutrol is taking skin care science to the next level. With more new advancements in development, Unigen will continue to be a leader in providing cutting edge ingredients that have the potential to positively affect the lives of millions.” For more information visit: Bakutrol.

JAFRA Cosmetics International, Inc. (JAFRA), a leader in the direct sales industry, today announced that its Men Dynamics skin care collection has received the prestigious Seal of Recommendation from The Skin Cancer Foundation, an independent institute that sets the industry standard for products that are safe and effective in providing sun protection.

With the addition of the Men Dynamics skin care line, JAFRA now has 100 cosmetic and skin care products that have been approved by The Skin Cancer Foundation to use its Seal of Recommendation. For easy identification, the Seal appears on the packaging of all approved JAFRA products.

“Consumers want to protect their skin from sun damage, but they cannot always determine which products will provide them with the best benefits,” said Pragna Chakravarti, JAFRA vice president and chief scientific officer.

“If a skin care product carries the Seal from The Skin Cancer Foundation, consumers can trust that it has passed a rigorous testing and evaluation process and has a minimum SPF of 15 or higher sun protection,” Chakravarti said. “JAFRA is pleased that all of the products it submitted to the Foundation have passed the review process and received the Seal,” Chakravarti said.

Founded in 1979, The Skin Cancer Foundation educates the public and the medical profession about skin cancer – the world’s most common cancer – that has reached epidemic levels in many countries. The non-profit foundation promotes the use of sun protection and the need for early skin cancer detection and prompt medical treatment.

To make identifying sun protection products easier, The Skin Cancer Foundation established its Seal of Recommendation program in 1981. The Seal quickly became a respected international standard for ensuring the safety and efficacy of ultraviolet (UV) protection. Products submitted for the Seal are reviewed by a five-member panel of physicians who are leading experts in the study of photobiology – the interaction of UV radiation and the skin. The panel considers scientific data and independent test results to ensure products meet their stringent criteria. Every product is monitored annually to guarantee it continues to meet Seal standards.

As it introduces new products or new formulations, JAFRA will continue to have its cosmetic and skin care products tested by The Skin Cancer Foundation for its Seal of Recommendation.

An exciting and fruitful eight years have been enjoyed on top of Afton Mountain by Garden of Eve Skin Care, a relatively small company dedicated to promoting safe organic skin care products that are produced based on sustainable, eco-friendly principles.

It is clearly time to expand the facility. Looking forward, the new location is expected to afford better accessibility throughout winter. True, one never knows what Mother Nature has in store; the choice of a lower altitude is expected to prove favorable.”

During the moving time frame, all deliveries are expected to continue as promptly as ever. However, to avoid possible delays, we suggest that orders be placed by August 22, as the move will take place shortly thereafter, during the end of August.

Following the move, in celebration of this exciting development Garden of Eve is offering a special “Start –a- New” Discount on Eve’s Mud Party product for all orders placed during the month of September.
