Did you know that the average woman applies about 150 different chemicals to her body every day through her skincare and cosmetics? The Beauty With a Conscience Awards in the October issue of Natural Solutions: Vibrant Health Balanced Living (on newsstands now) recognizes the top 101 natural beauty products and uncovers the not-so-pretty truth that carcinogens, hormone disruptors, and heavy metals lurk in shampoos, lotions, perfumes, and makeup - and that these ingredients have been linked to breast cancer and other health problems.
To eliminate confusion over which products are nontoxic as well as easier on the environment, the editors at Natural Solutions chose 101 personal care products that contain the purest, healthiest ingredients for the magazine’s second annual Beauty With a Conscience Awards.
“We worked closely with the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, the Environmental Working Group, and Whole Foods Market to create our own standards - the strictest of any health magazine,” says Lauren Piscopo, editor-in-chief of Natural Solutions. “Then we scrutinized roughly 1,500 natural body care products for potentially hazardous ingredients and found that only about 800 were eligible for testing.”
To find this year’s Beauty With a Conscience Award winners, and for a wallet-sized shopping guide that lists the “Toxic 10 Ingredients to Avoid in Skincare,” visit naturalsolutionsmag.com/go/beauty.
Natural Solutions also investigated claims from cosmetic companies that slap “natural,” “pure,” and “plant-derived” on products filled with toxic chemicals. Manufacturers aren’t required to list all ingredients on labels, even if they include allergens, phthalates (reproductive toxins), or neurotoxins. The magazine provides resources, such as an iPhone app that can help debunk misleading label claims and determine which ones are merely greenwashing.
Natural Solutions presents its Beauty Awards to coincide with October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “We want women to understand that there’s a connection between what they slather on their bodies and possibly serious health concerns,” Piscopo says.

Redu Products is launching a focused advertising campaign to target the anti-aging, age reversal market for its SmoothnSilky face cream at: www.DrySkinMiracle.com. The campaign will launch in mid-October with television, print, online marketing, and a totally redesigned website at: www.DrySkinMiracle.com.
Company president, Michael Dugan stated, “So many of our customers have written and told us how remarkable SmoothnSilky is at eliminating wrinkles, reducing fine lines, and making them look 5 to 10 years younger, we decided to highlight that benefit. The anti-aging market is enormously competitive, and since we are small, we felt unable to compete in that market; however, I truly believe results will make up for our lack of advertising dollars. I am counting on a lot of word of mouth traffic coming to: www.DrySkinMiracle.com.”
One of the main concepts of the new advertising campaign uses the line: “Other anti-aging creams will discount their price to attract you. We discount your age. Look 10 years younger or your money back.” The focus on visible results backed by a money-back guarantee is designed to get women to try SmoothnSilky face cream.
“Millions of women want to reverse the hands of time and look years younger. I have confidence that SmoothnSilky will do that for them better than any other anti-aging product on the market, and I am willing to bet our business on it.”, Dugan explained. “Right now, our website is hosted at both www.SmoothnSilky.com and www.DrySkinMiracle.com. As we focus more on the age reversing, anti-aging benefits of the product, we may end up changing the website name to better focus on those features. This is a very exciting time for our future.”
For additional information on Redu, Inc., and SmoothnSilky contact, Michael Dugan, or visit: www.DrySkinMiracle.com. Redu, Inc. is a research and development company created to seek, identify, and market high quality skin care products for men and women. It specializes in health and skin care products that specifically address difficult or unique challenges. SmoothnSilky is the first dry skin moisturizing product introduced by Redu, Inc., and it is so effective at healing and preventing dry skin and cracked heels that Redu, Inc., has already exceeded its sales goals for the product introduction.

Seen by tens of millions
I rarely bring up my private life, but I am just so proud of my oldest daughter I wanted to "tell the world!"
She has worked her butt off in a career she had no help with, what so ever. . . In our particular family dynamic, that is hard to do. . . she is a Photographer and her shot made the cover of PEOPLE magazine. That is huge for her and her career.
What a darling little girl and a beautiful family.
Nope its not hair related at all today . . . just wanted to show off my daughter, Cheyenne Marie.
I love you and as always, am so proud of you, Mom

The first anti-aging doctor to offer TA-65 treatment in the U.S., has discovered a way to apply similar technology to skin care.
TA-65 is the newest and most dramatic technology in the world of life extension. It is the only commercially available product that lengthens human telomeres - the protective tips that cap the ends of your DNA.
Each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. When your telomeres run down, cell division stops and your life ends.
The same thing happens to your skin: The shorter your telomeres, the more your skin cells age… producing dryer, more wrinkled skin.
Anti-aging expert Al Sears, M.D. announced today that he is launching a new skin care line that can help slow down and reverse these signs of aging. The line is called Pure Radiance… and the first product is a DNA repair cream.
His new Revive DNA Rejuvenation Cream helps maintain telomeres and stop the aging of the skin cells. Plus, it enhances cell function and quality of the tissue… extending the youth span of the skin to reduce all visible signs of aging - not just wrinkles.
As an anti-aging physician, nutritionist and researcher, Dr. Sears believes total wellness and integrative health is found both on the inside and out. “Your skin is the largest organ of your body and if maintained properly with effective skincare, it can lead to an overall healthier and younger lifestyle.”
About Pure Radiance
Dr. Sears’ Pure Radiance products are a natural blend of today’s most powerful nutrients for healthy, glowing skin. Developed as the “New Technology for Younger Skin,” this natural skin care line breaks away from the tradition of using parabens, carcinogens, pollutants and gasoline distillates that are commonly found in most of today’s cosmetics and skin care solutions.

Florida-based Mango Madness Skin Care has announced a new line of anti-aging skin care products that feature high potency ingredients, minimal packaging, no parabens and no animal testing.
In keeping with the company’s strategy, its Peptide 6 wrinkle cream provides the maximum effective dosage for not just one, but six peptides. The company’s Hydrospherex hyaluronic acid serum contains 100% hyaluronic acid; most brands contain a less potent concentration. The company’s products feature high levels of proven wrinkle reducing ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline.
Mango Madness Skin Care was started in 2004 by Laura Myers, a former flight attendant turned esthetician turned entrepreneur. “As a licensed esthetician, I was surprised by the ingredients in most department store products. Their multi-million dollar advertising campaigns sure seemed to promise a lot, but if you look at the lists of ingredients for most of these products, they fall short of the price you are paying at the register,” Myers said.
Addressing rapidly growing demand for greener, safer products, Mango Madness Skin Care minimizes wasteful packaging and shuns the use of potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens. The company’s facial products contain no fillers or fragrances, which can irritate skin. It performs no animal testing and devotes its resources to highly effective concentrations of active ingredients instead of glitzy advertisements and expensive packaging.
“Women are tired of paying a lot of money for heavily promoted brands and not getting the results they wanted,” said Myers. “Ladies are savvy and know how to read labels.”
Mango Madness Skin Care is headquartered in Saint Augustine, Fla. It offers free shipping on all online orders from its warehouse and fulfillment center at www.MangoMadnessSkinCare.com. The company’s retail store is located in the Historic District of Saint Augustine.
