Who carries skin care?
 
Looking into expanding into a high end skin care line, who do you carry and why? No Arbonne here though, just too gimicky.

I was thinking more on the line of Kneipp, Dermologica, Ahava etc....

You could try what we did. We had an herbal chemist and a natural health practitioner custom develop our skincare line along with an herbalist that handcrafts a lot of our soaps and lotions. (We tried working with a manufacturing Co. but it didn’t workout very well) The reason we did this is first of all we wanted something different. 2nd we wanted something that our clients could pick up and know what they are putting on their skin and feel good about it.. for example… our body spritz has no alcohol in it. It contains Sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, jojoba seed oil, and vitamin. A & E the preservative is form a plant source. It is a little costly to start out with, but your end product will be worth it.

Kay, do you have a link to your products?

I have been looking hard into Derma-e as it is focused around DMAE which is hugely popular in the skincare world these days. It is sold in Whole Foods and other natural outlets. Extremely reasonable priced and good packaging.

I want high end with good pricing.

I use all dermalogica products, and I contacted them to carry the line, but you have to have a licensed professional on staff.

Natural skincare is becoming increasingly popular. When looking for products look at the ingredients.

Rice Bran Oil - contains three different kinds of natural antioxidants -- Tocopherol, Tocotrienol, and Oryzanol

Glycerin- is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin. Glycerin shores up the skin's natural protection by filling in the area known as the intercellular matrix and by attracting just the right amount of water to maintain the skin's homeostasis. There is also research indicating that the presence of glycerin in the intercellular layer helps other skin lipids do their jobs better (Sources: American Journal of Contact Dermatitis, September 2000, pages 165–169; and Acta Dermato-Venereologica, November 1999, pages 418–421).

.Coconut oil- is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal.

HOPS Clears up skin problems of all kinds. Used externally for skin discoloration, as well as for sores of the skin. Hops contain one of the richest known sources of a Vitamin B known as Niacin, which can produce a beneficial "purple tingly blush" as it improves the peripheral circulation (blood vessels near the skin).

Rosemary-used as an invigorating toner and astringent. A study analyzing the oxidative properties of human skin surface lipids after treatment with a rosemary extract showed decreased susceptibility to oxidative stress caused by the chemical oxidant t-butyl hydroperoxide. Further, penetration into human skin is potentially favoured by the isolation of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of rosemary extract that have
antioxidant activity.

Horsetail - No other herb in the entire plant kingdom is as rich in silicon as is horsetail. This trace element really helps to bind protein molecules together in the blood vessels and connective tissues. Silicon is the material of which collagen is made. Collagen is the "body glue" that holds our skin and muscle tissues together Horsetail has been used for conditions such as acne and eczema.

Lemon oil - have recently been investigated for their effects on skin. a component of lemon extract which, when applied to human skin, increased resistance to oxidative stress. Skin surface lipids of the volunteers were examined by gas chromatography after the treatments and had a positive effect. Further, this antioxidant activity of lemon oil extract was shown to be greater than that of α-tocopherol ( vitamin E)

no. I meant if he knew a estechian that could train him on it, she could bring in the line for him and educate him. and even offer facials in his salon.
