Time to make a record of this. It all started when...

Wow, where do I start? It all started back in...December, was it? As you'll learn, I'm not great with time - when things happened and in what order. Pretty sure it was December anyway. A friend came to me with an idea. This friend wanted to partner with me in a business, what we were going to do was all up to what went through our little brains at that time. Well, on this particular day the idea was based on an experience at a NuSkin seminar.

According to my partner NuSkin had one major flaw in its' presentation of their product. And as it turns out most of the entire industry seems to be ignoring one important thing about most skin care products. They oxidize! Yes, even products with lots and lots of anti-oxidants oxidize in a fairly short period of time. What does this mean? It means that most of those great things that they put in the products anti-oxidant products are useless before you get though with the container. But wait! Don't the put preservatives in?

Well, yes. Most do! Why add a chemical compund to preserve a natural product when it's really not the best for your skin? Another thing to ponder; skin lotions, at least the good ones, are meant to absorb into the skin. This means that along with all those great ingredients come the preservatives working it's way into your lower levels of the skin. Think about it. A typical container is 1 to 2 ounces for a month supply. Over the years this adds up and those chemicals you don't think about are now working through one of the most important organs of your body that protect all others - your skin.

Then there are those natural and/or organic products that don't contain preservatives. But is that good? Well it is meant to be but by the time you open the product it has already begun to degrade.

So what's the answer? Well, you could use Phenoxyethanol which is an organic chemical compound derived from sage essential oil. But even so you will have some degredation. And so, we had a plan...which you will learn more about later.

Our first decision was to make a complete list of the most desirable ingredients on the market, add in some exotic organic and natural products that are packed full of nutrients for the skin and pour them all in a pot in our kitchen and waallaa! We'd have one of the best products on the market! Yea, right? Not so easy. Stay tuned, I'll tell you more...
