Morning dew is Mother Nature’s tender reminder that we all need gentle moisture to start the day. Our skin is no different… for skin to look the most radiant and healthy, it too needs gentle moisture that lasts throughout the day. DewKist Serum is the perfect anti-age, moisture rich product formulated for sensitive skin and free of any potential irritants to the skin. 

There are three major contributors to the anti-aging effects that DewKist has on your skin.  The first ingredient is Fiflow®, or perfluorocarbons, which provides BOTOX®-like improvement of fine lines and wrinkles simply through topical application.  Fiflow® also refreshes cellular metabolism, provides dermal filling, as well as a muscular relaxation effect.  The second ingredient is Sodium Hyaluronate, and this particular version is a low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid.  It provides all the benefits of Sodium Hyaluronate but is comprised of smaller polymers that allow for better skin penetration and effectiveness.  The third anti-aging ingredient is Derm SRC, which is a combination of Glucosamine HCI, Pisum Sativum (Pea Extract), and Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo Extract).  It increases the production of collagen and elastin, while inducing cell proliferation and differentiation.  Derm SRC is also wonderful for firming the skin and making deeper wrinkles less visible.

Once the tightening and smoothing of the skin is complete, proper hydration can take place, and in the DewKist Serum, there are two main moisturizing ingredients.  The first is Prodew®, a blend of Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, Sorbitol, and Proline (L).  This concoction is actually an ideal moisturizer with excellent absorption and retention capabilities due to the synergistic effect between the actives. The second hydrating element is Proline (L), an Amino Acid with moisturizing and moisture retention properties, which improves skin texture and aids in collagen formation.  Proline (L) is an expert at repairing damaged tissue and promoting the health of connective tissue.

As much as we love Mother Nature, she also depletes our skin of moisture as we age. Therefore, it is up to all of us to take gentle care of our skin with DewKist… bring back the morning dew moisture while also firming and smoothing age lines.

ANTARCTICINE®  A Glycoprotein from the Antarctic Sea

During the Antarctic summer of 1988, a Spanish scientific expedition collected mud samples from Admiralty Bay, Antarctica. A new bacterial strain was isolated from these samples and characterized. During growth, the bacteria produced an extracellular material believed to help the bacteria retain water, adhere to surfaces and withstand the extreme cold. Its protective function in nature is applied in cosmetics to regenerate and protect the skin.

Cosmetic Benefits of ANTARCTICINE® 

• Helps the skin retain water, preventing cutaneous dryness 
• Presents a cryoprotective effect due to its ability to modify the morphology of ice crystals 
• Stimulates fibroblast adhesion and keratinocyte growth, regenerating tissues and enabling a faster healing of wounds 
• Increases collagen type I and IV, as well as elastin, resulting in a restructured skin and a reduction in wrinkles 
• After 30 days, reduces the depth of wrinkles, especially in the forehead and around the eyes, between 50-60%. 

We have a great product that features Antarcticine® called Ocean’s 11 serum. As the name suggests, Ocean’s 11 Serum is blended with 11 marine actives. These actives were synergistically combined to protect against UVA/UVB damage as well as combat free radicals, soothe inflammation, protect against MMPi (Matrix Metalloproteinase inhibition), combat wrinkles, and visibly brighten the skin. The intricate nature of Ocean’s 11 Serum ingredients enhance ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and cell turnover, plus promote moisture and elasticity which not only improves the health of skin, but our product testers commented that their skin became more youthful looking after just one application. 

Directions: Apply Ocean’s 11 Serum on face and neck in order to receive the abundant, rich marine extract attributes. Due to the light texture of Ocean’s 11 Serum, makeup can be easily applied once the serum has been absorbed into skin. (Use with MARvelous Oceanic Mask (VLT0.4507) and Seven Seas Marine Gel (VLT0.4028) for an infusion of natural marine benefits.)

Our Ocean’s 11 Serum (VLT0.4517) is available in 16 oz and gallon sizes. Please call our Sales and Account Executives for more information on this exciting product featuring this great ingredient. Please call us at 480-897-0551 or email us at customerservice@covalence.com.

Yes, we do have maverick formula ideas. However, since we aren’t a P&G brand, we realize that our formulas may not take off until a large brand puts millions of dollars into their advertising and launches a marketing buzz…possibly years (sometimes decades) after our formula was created. Our ZENeration is a perfect example of a maverick formula that we have fine-tuned over the decades, but it did not become a huge hit until a physician directed pro-acne company (yes, that is all we are going to say) launched their Green Tea Moisturizer. Therefore, it is my pleasure to re-introduce, again, ZENeration!

ZENeration is a light, non-greasy and non-comedogenic calming (zen-like) moisturizer specifically made from organic compounds and natural botanicals, soothing skin and dry patches caused by harsh acne treatments.  It is paraben-free and fragrance-free so it is ideal for any skin type, especially problematic skin.  This soft, white gel-cream can be applied daily to improve skin’s vibrancy. Product testers have enthusiastically commented that their pore sizes seemed to be visibly smaller and their skin felt protected from environmental stressors after the first application of ZENeration.

As a past acne sufferer, I know the importance of having clear, radiant skin… the more healthy and vibrant our skin, our confidence soars which in turn helps us in everything we do. The four starring ingredients in ZENeration will transform problematic skin to perfect balance…helping to harness the ever elusive confidence. The four botanicals work together to firm, reduce pore size, boost the immune function of skin cells, protect skin from cell damage while gently moisturizing skin… A revolution in acneic skincare that we happen to create a number of years ago, but we do thank the mass market brand with creating the ‘new’ marketing buzz!

ZENeration… the next generation of active plus gentle acne skincare!

If you have been disappointed by the lack of results you have been getting with some of the skin care products,it was probably due to a lack of a key ingredient proven to diminish acne, hyperpigmentation and redness. Niacinamide is a derivative of Niacin, also known as vitamin B3. Niacinamide when applied to the skin has been found to have been shown to reduce many signs of skin aging, including hyperpigmentation and redness.

Daily use of products containing Niacinamide will improve skin tone and texture, plus slow the signs of aging. Niacinamide is known to have effectiveness on sallowness, wrinkling, red blotchiness, and dark spots… plus, it mends the look of acne. 

CoValence has several products that include Niacinamide as the key ingredient for proper, effective skin care. Please contact an Account or Sales Executive to find out more about these fantastic products.

Epidermal Growth Factor, or EGF, is a substance that stimulates cell growth. It’s a key ingredient because of its anti-aging and cell growth properties. This ingredient is great to use after a peel or light exfoliation to promote healthy cell growth. CoValence has two great products featuring EGF that not only reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but moisturizes as well.

‘Reboot’ is available in either a Serum or Cream.

Reboot Serum is a witch hazel-based clear liquid that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This special formula is designed to be paraben-free, and ideal for all skin types. Reboot Serum reduces wrinkles with EGF, a peptide that accelerates the growth of epidermal cells, reduces wrinkles and assists in wound healing. Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3, an iomimetic peptide derived from a growth factor that boosts collagen production, activates skin repair; it also reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Together these peptides leave your skin feeling more taut and repaired.

Reboot Cream is the perfect way to start and finish your day. It is rejuvenating and soothing, and the perfect daily cream for normal to dry skin. It also has anti-aging properties to promote cell regeneration and antioxidants to encourage skin elasticity. Reboot Cream also contains EGF; it is a paraben-free white cream that helps your skin ‘Reboot’ back to its ideal state. There are three major ingredients at work in the Reboot Cream that all work together to create optimal skin cell regeneration and maintenance; EGF, Cytokinol®, which has a strong epidermal repairing effect, while also acting as a soothing anti-inflammatory agent. Withania Somnifera root extract, more commonly known as Indian Ginseng, which regenerates cells stressed by external conditions, reinforces skin protective systems.

Just as our bodies need shelter from the elements, so does our skin. Have you taken a look outside lately? Between the polluted haze and extreme allergens it is amazing our skin has held up as well as it has over the years. But, as we age our skin sensitivities increase exponentially creating an immense need for shelter… Shelter Moisture.

Shelter Moisture is the ideal anti-age moisturizer for sensitive and rosacea prone skin; Shelter Moisture has become one of our all-time faves.  This soft, white cream is paraben-free, gluten-free, and fragrance-free…making it a gentle experience from application to absorption. There is a multitude of ingredients at work in Shelter Moisture that all contribute to increasing cellular oxygen supply and optimizing cell function. Skin has finally found shelter!

Aldavine™, is a polysaccharide derived from red and brown algae that maintains the integrity of microcapillaries in the skin (rosacea prone skin needs the extra help). This increases cellular oxygen supply, thereby increasing cell function. Renovage™ is an anti-aging triglyceride that continually moisturizes, reduces signs of age spots, improves skin barrier function, and reduces appearance of fine lines. It also has a UV protective effect. Niacinamide is also involved in cellular respiration and is an antioxidant. It has anti-inflammatory properties, while improving epidermal barrier function, and inhibits skin pigmentation, making this perfect shelter for your skin.

Glycosaminoglycans inhibit collagen destruction, keeping the skin tight and healthy. Cytokinol® is a protein that stimulates inter-cellular communication and has a strong epidermal repairing effect, while also being soothing and anti-inflammatory. Antarcticine® is a glycoprotein exopolymer from the Antarctic Sea that protects the skin, while also boasting anti-wrinkle properties.  Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract provides a protective effect against thermal stress, both hot and cold, and stimulates cellular respiration, making it possible for the skin to achieve maximum oxygen while still being sheltering skin from environmental pollutants.

Protect, brighten and revitalize your largest protector… your skin. Seek shelter… seek Shelter Moisture!

Pit Stop is a clear liquid deodorant that is completely free of any inflammatory ingredients or allergens, making it perfect for all skin types. Applied as a liquid, this deodorant acts upon initial skin contact, coating the armpit while still feeling breathable. Pit Stop is perfect for anyone wanting to eliminate excess body odor, naturally, as well as those on‐the‐go!

There are two ingredients hard at work in Pit Stop to make it the most effective deodorant possible – Hamamelis Virginiana Water (Witch Hazel) and Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda). The Witch Hazel soothes and heals problem skin conditions, while also acting as an astringent and purifying the skin. Because of its antioxidant properties, Witch Hazel is especially effective as a cleanser as well as a protectant.

Baking Soda had a long standing reputation as quite possibly the most effective odor eliminator out there – we use it in our refrigerators, shoes, and armpits! Therefore, baking soda’s presence in Pit Stop is crucial to its success as a deodorant and body odor remedy. Baking Soda has a long

Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract is a botanical peptide derived from the Moringa Seed native to Africa and Asia that helps cleanse and purify the skin while protecting the skin from damage caused by environmental pollutants and free radicals by repelling dirt and debris. Now THAT is radical…especially for a deodorant!

We have landed on beachy shores with our new and improved product… MARvelous Oceanic Mask. We have added a new all natural Caribbean Blue color so you can feel you are on vacation anytime you are using this cooling mask.

Anyone who has stood on the soft, white sandy shores of a Caribbean lagoon is able to vividly describe the gorgeous, brilliant blue waters that tickled their toes as well as the cool tropical breeze that danced on their skin. MARvelous Oceanic Mask may not provoke the same reaction as a Caribbean blue lagoon… However, it does successfully capture the striking Caribbean blue (yes, from a natural color) color while the cooling essence of an oceanic mist infuses the skin with firming, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Just as a wave cascades on to the shore, so does the amazing MARvelous Oceanic Mask benefits on to the skin. Our chemists handpicked the algaes for MARvelous Oceanic Mask due to the algaes’ impressive triggers of strengthening, firming and improving tone, resulting in a flawless complexion. The Phycocyanins continue to decrease inflammation of the skin as well as the blue-green algae gives MARvelous Oceanic Mask its vivid blue hue.

The versatile MARvelous Oceanic Mask can be worn as a daily cooling, anti-aging mask or after a treatment to calm, and infuse the skin with anti-aging benefits… just as a Caribbean ocean (not during hurricane season) calms the soul.

Our product testers loved the ease in which they could wear the mask during the day and evening. Some of the product testers found that the mask could be worn as an occlusive daily ‘boost’ facial gel in lieu of their favorite serum, during the day.

It won’t take as long as a ‘three hour tour’ before you will start hearing people say… “Your skin looks simply maaah-va-lous… Daaahling!”
