Confusion abounds at all levels of the supply chain for green cosmetics. Alleviate confusion and meet the growing demand for answers on which cosmetic products are truly natural or organic by attending IntertechPira’s one-day seminar, Green Beauty Buyers Guide to Cosmetic Standards and Ingredients, in New York, NY Monday September 14 at the Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel in Times Square.
With the evolution of personal care products made with personal health and environmental wellbeing in mind, it’s becoming more important to select brands with strong messages that can be backed by third party endorsements. Caring consumers are growing more concerned about what they are rubbing into their body and the size of their carbon footprint, leaving retailers with the challenge of providing the best performing authentic brands to fill their shelves.
This conference is designed for individuals involved in purchasing cosmetic goods from the following sectors: retail, spas, home shopping, dermatologists, and skincare professionals. PR and marketing personnel, beauty writers, quality control and legal departments will not want to miss this event.
The objective of the conference is for each attendee to leave better equipped to identify an authentic natural/organic product from a bogus one and also learn to recognize why certain cosmetic ingredients are more harmful than others. Attendees will also leave with the knowledge of how to better position green brands in their business to minimize regulatory considerations and a greater understanding of the compliance issues that help control the marketing and promotion of your green beauty cosmetics.
Presentations on greenwashing, how to see through manufacturers’ unsubstantiated claims, labeling and claims, and discussions on why certain cosmetic ingredients are getting bad press and why are just a few reasons to attend this conference.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Ido Leffler, CEO, Yes to Carrots
- Joe Smillie, Senior Vice President, Quality Assurance International
- Dr Scott Hernberg, Tomorrow’s Wellness Center & Medical Spa
- Martyn Cole, Specialist Certification Officer & Inspector (Intl) for Health & Beauty
- Soil Association Certification Ltd.
- Karen Sinclair Drake, Research & Development, Sophyto Organics

Through a national branding campaign, kicking off today, Lexli, an over-the-counter line of skincare products based on real science and formulated with 100% pure, pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera, is intending to turn the skincare industry upside down. Formulated to achieve undeniably healthier, younger-looking skin regardless of skin type, tone or age, Lexli is not only introducing its product line to consumers and skincare professionals nationally, but also embarking on a mission to quell the rash of myths and outright lies that have plagued the skincare industry for far too long. As a brand founded and run by practicing surgeons, Lexli uses the Hippocratic Oath as its guide, thus ensuring ethical and honest business practices.
As part of its branding campaign, Lexli, which was introduced in 1997 exclusively to patients of founder, Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, a board-certified plastic surgeon, will feature new packaging and a new Web site at www.lexli.com.
Lexli was born out of frustration with commonly accepted skincare myths. After years of hearing his patients complain of popular and expensive skincare products that failed to deliver on their marketing promises, Dr. Abdullah applied his background in chemistry and biology to create a product that would generate undeniable results. An aloe researcher, he turned to the anti-inflammatory for its proven ability to cleanse gently and penetrate deep into tissue to heal damaged skin. Additional ingredients included those that scientific research had proven efficacious in skin applications.
Dr. Abdullah’s initial product formulation and the company’s pinnacle product is AloeGlyC Renewing Exfoliant, a patented, safe and effective product for daily use that features a pH level near that of a chemical peel - a rarity in an over-the-counter product. Following the distribution of AloeGlyC to his patients, word spread about the product’s effectiveness. With increasing demand for broader availability, Dr. Abdullah and his wife and co-founder, Dr. Kay Abdullah, also a board-certified surgeon, chose to grow their product offering and distribute the line as “Lexli” - a combination of their sons’ names.
To generate the intended results, Lexli uses a 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade of highly concentrated aloe vera as its base, in combination with vitamins and other effective ingredients. Most skincare products utilize a base of water, which provides no benefit to the skin.
While most consumers are familiar with the anti-inflammatory’s presence in skincare products, they may not realize that all aloe vera is not created equal. Lexli’s pharmaceutical-grade, bioactive, inner-fillet aloe is processed within four to six hours of harvesting and is certified as the highest quality by the International Aloe Science Council (IASC), of which Dr. Ahmed Abdullah is a member and former board member. The potency of the ingredient far exceeds that found in most other skincare products.
Lexli’s skincare system is based on simplicity and results, not a quest to get consumers to buy an ever-growing line of unnecessary products. For that reason, the line features just four steps - cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize and protect.
“Exfoliation is key to generating noticeable results due to its ability to activate collagen production, yet it’s the step that is missing from most skincare regimens,” said Dr. Ahmed Abdullah. “Consumers who do exfoliate tend to select a product that utilizes granules or is marketed as a ‘gentle’ exfoliant. Neither of these will work. Non-mechanical exfoliation requires acid-based agents to dissolve keratin.”
Lexli skincare products are available online at www.lexli.com and at select salons and spas. Because Lexli is unlike any other over-the-counter skincare brand, the company advises consumers to use the product line under the guidance of a licensed skincare expert. For those purchasing product online, the company offers licensed experts who are available by phone or email to answer questions and provide product direction.
Lexli International, Inc.
Founded in 1997 by husband and wife team and aloe researchers - Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, a board-certified plastic surgeon, and Dr. Kay Abdullah, a board-certified general surgeon, Lexli offers a line of skincare products created to achieve healthier, younger-looking skin, regardless of skin type, tone or age. All Lexli product formulations, including AloeGlyC Renewing Exfoliant, the brand’s patented and celebrated daily exfoliant, are based on real science and developed with 100% pure, pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera as its principal ingredient.
Headquartered in Fargo, N.D. and run by doctors who live by the Hippocratic Oath, Lexli is committed to implementing ethical and honest business practices. Because Lexli is unlike any other over-the-counter skincare brand, the company advises that use of its products occur under the guidance of a licensed skincare expert. The Lexli line can be found online at www.lexli.com and in select salons and spas.

Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., a leading researcher and developer for cosmetic treatments, announced today the nationwide availability of the LifeSculpt body sculpting laser procedure. LifeSculpt features the SlimLipo laser body sculpting technology, which selectively targets and “melts” fat in a minimally-invasive way. As a minimally-invasive procedure, LifeSculpt provides a faster recovery time as compared to traditional liposuction with little to no bruising, allowing patients to return to daily activities quickly.
LifeSculpt is the optimal choice for people who are already healthy, have tried diet and exercise and still have a problem area. The unique technology utilized in the LifeSculpt procedure allows access to even the most difficult-to-reach areas such as the fat under the chin, backs, arms, and inner thighs.
LifeSculpt allows physicians to remove excess fat and tighten the skin through laser-assisted lipolysis and subsequent fat removal. A recent limited study published in US Dermatology, by Robert Weiss, M.D., Director of the Maryland Laser, Skin, and Vein Institute; found that all subjects agreed that the LifeSculpt procedure significantly improved the appearance of the treated areas of their bodies. In addition, the study found that 100 percent of patients saw an improvement in skin’s smoothness and tightness within three months after treatment.
“This study proved what I’d been experiencing in my own practice; LifeSculpt offers superior results, better than any other type of fat reduction and fat removal method on the market,” said Dr. Weiss.
“During the recovery period after the LifeSculpt procedure, skin tightening may occur as new collagen is laid down in the layers of the skin. Improvement in skin firmness can continue for up to six months after the procedure; this is particularly gratifying to patients who have experienced significant skin laxity that is often associated with age and weight loss,” noted Brooke Seckel, M.D., plastic surgeon at Boston Plastic Surgery Associates, Concord MA
“There is an emerging demand for this kind of option among consumers - people want stellar results, but do not want to have to take time out of their busy schedules to achieve those results,” noted Richard Bankowski, Field Clinical Director for Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc..
