The Oils Have It!

6.30.11

In February 2011, The Wall Street Journal wrote an article titled, ‘Oil is the New Face Cream’. Ironically, at the time that the article was printed, we were testing our trio of ancient beauty oils… Pandora’s Oil, First Aid Oil and Spot Light Oil. For years, we have concentrated our R&D efforts on developing high end emulsions and serums to fight the good fight against anti-aging and skin sensitivities. But, after testing our trio of beauty oils, we are now fully dedicated to their abilities of rebalancing skin while providing barrier protection and smoothing fine lines. Oh, by the way… the oils do not clog pores nor are they greasy. Skeptical? If Cleopatra massaged her face with Olive Oil as one of her ancient beauty secrets… our 21st Century beauty oils are sure to impress!

First Aid (Beauty) Oil (VLT0.5025) is immersed with six (6) oils that improve circulation, reduce inflammation and fights against free radical and environmental stresses.

Pandora’s (Beauty) Oil (VLT0.5026) is a full armor of anti‐age oils that protect skin from free radicals while providing cellular and DNA protection.

Spot Light (Beauty) Oil (VLT0.5024) is an ensemble of oils that combine the power of Rice Bran Oil, the potent anti-oxidant power of Tocotrienols and other oils that are proven to have an extra boost of brightening power.

Please contact one of our Sales and/or Account Executives at 480.897.0551 if you have any questions about these or any other questions.

(Ctrl + Alt + Delete)

6.15.11

 

Ctrl (control): After many, many years of working on developing the perfect makeup remover, we finally (and we mean ‘finally’) have come up with a formula that takes control of what most makeup removers don’t… anti-aging concerns. The CoValence formula addresses anti-aging by creating a gentle makeup remover with ingredients that are rich in anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties…moisturizing and refreshing skin after a long day.

Alt (alternate): CoValence’s makeup remover is the optimal, natural alternate choice to the chemically and mineral-oil heavy makeup removers on the market. We effectively utilized botanical extracts to combat free radicals… that cause us to look haggard before the day is done. Simply stated, our natural based makeup remover is the perfect anti-aging solution for the most sensitive skins, including contact wearers.

Delete: The product benefits and Active Interests could be found in a number of CoValence’s anti-aging products. But, the ultimate purpose of Delete Makeup Remover is to gently and effectively delete makeup (including waterproof makeup) from skin while also combating the signs of a busy life. We are extremely pleased that Delete successfully accomplishes its number one mission…removing makeup, with gentle gusto.

Picture this…you enter your home after a hard day at work and/or running errands. You are exhausted and your makeup hardly looks like it did when you left in the morning. You meander over to the bathroom, remove your makeup with Delete and instantly you feel refreshed and the area around your eyes is moisturized. Your healthy skin is now confidently exposed and you are ready to take on your next shift…dinner, homework, baths and bedtime.

Okay, we know…the perfect scenario is that after you remove your makeup with Delete, you get to be curled up in front of a fireplace, reading a good book. But, since we can’t promise the perfect scenario, we can promise the next best thing… the best makeup remover we have ever created – Delete.

Contact a Sales or Account Executive if you would like to see a sample and learn more about Delete (VLT0.7506) as well as our Vault products; It would be our pleasure to assist you.

Here are a few items you may have missed lately from our blogs:

SKINsider FLASH! 

There has been a lot of news lately about HQ products being removed from Texas shelves. After much research, we found that the HQ products being removed are formulated with a HQ percentage greater than 2%. Therefore, OTC products with a HQ percentage equal to or less than 2% look to be safe from Texas authorities.

Mint Julep Cleanser is here!

5.10.11

We may not be in Kentucky, but here at CoValence, we sure do know how to mix up a pretty good cocktail…a top of the line cleanser cocktail that is! Our chemists could easily be called “Mixoligists” because they are always creating new and unique varieties of in-demand products. We are proud to introduce a new formula developed with the perfect blend of “Southern Hospitality” in mind….

Our Mint Julep Cleanser is more than just a pretty name…it is a uniquely blended cocktail of active ingredients – all used to help cleanse and purify the skin. One active in particular, Sugar Cane Extract, has received amazing raves for its multiple benefits; moisturizing, anti-ageing, and exfoliating. However, this should come as no surprise, because we all know that sugar is sweet…even to our skin! The beautiful pearlized green gel is reminiscent of the luscious green Mint leaves associated with this Southern drink of choice. The refreshing mint scent will soothe your skin and your senses.

Mint Julep Cleanser has an intoxicating following here in the lab, and we bet it will have a tremendous following upon its release as well! Just like all those pretty horses that trail the track, Mint Julep Cleanser will have people racing for more! Get yours while you can! Put on your pretty, show-stopper race hat and don’t be the lone horse waiting at the end of the finish line! Hold on to your reigns, it’s going to be an exciting race with an even more beautiful outcome!

Try our new Chiral Peels…

5.2.11

 

CoValence is the ‘Chiral’ manufacturer, so it only makes sense that we would create a Chiral Peel. In general, we all know that ‘peels’ can be quite simple. However, if someone wants to accelerate healthy cell turnover, the peel should also include ingredients that promote the wellbeing of connective tissue and strengthen skin immunity. Therefore, the Chiral Peel should be known as the next generation peel that works to improve the health of one’s skin while exfoliating away the wear and tear of environmental stressors.  

 If you are not familiar with Chirality, please see our blog to read more about it. Here is a quick tutorial if you prefer not to read the scientific explanations… Mother Nature is Chiral and Chirally-Correct ingredients work far better with skin. Therefore, the Chirally-Correct ingredients that we have selected for the Chiral Peels will produce far healthier and noticeable results.

The Chiral Peels are definitely not your mother’s peel… It is a next generation peel that speaks directly to the mechanisms of the skin that will help improve skin texture as well as produce long lasting skin leverage… improving skin beyond the ordinary.

Let the Chiral Peel allow your skin to step out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary! Don’t forget to ask your Sales or Account Executive for a sample. Available in three strengths; all with a pH of 3.00 or higher…perfect for a home peel. If you would like a stronger peel, please see our catalog for ‘PRO USE ONLY’ products.

We’re Crazy for Cococin™

4.18.11

If you are ever stranded on a desert island coconuts become your best friend, provided you can open them. Coconut water is rich in nutrients. It is the important source of nutrients in the human diet as it can be abundant in proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, growth hormone and sugars all of which assist in hydration and growth of cells.

Coconut water could also be used in sports drink as it contains a number of important electrolytes including potassium, sodium, chloride and magnesium as well as sugars. It has a very similar level of electrolyte balance to the human blood stream.

Coconut water solids support cellular growth. It can be utilized in compounds which aim to support or increase the growth of human tissues, for example hair follicles.

Cococin™ is prepared by freeze-drying the coconut water solids. The resultant powder can be blended into dry products, and it also easily dissolves in water. Cococin™ is also used in topical preparations for skin care in order to assist with healthy cell growth; used in revitalizing compounds designed to care for hair, nails and skin. It is also said to support good blood circulation.

Cococin™ was found to be safe for topical use and does not irritate the skin. Therefore, a perfect anti-age ingredient for sensitive skin.

A proprietary process preserves the inherent goodness of coconut water in convenient powder form, for use in personal care products. Ask your Sales or Account Executive how Cococin™ can support hydration and healthy cell growth in your skin care line.

We’re Headed to South Beach with 4 New Products…

4.4.11

For far too long, we have dreamt of sandy beach getaways, in lieu of our daily drudgery, but alas…no more! Our South Beach series borrows from the warm and sunny beach climate that defines that desired region. Each of the four products we are debuting represents an aspect of the “warm city” that we find enticing. For instance, Tangerine Dream Oil Cleanser-symbolizing the tantalizing citrus fruits that populate the area, Mojito Tonic-the local drink of choice that pleases the palette, Calypso Cool-reminiscing the sensual sounds that arouse the beach nights, and lastly Sizzle*-mimicking the heat that gradually rises in temperature.

 All of these products were developed to cleanse, refresh, moisturize, and treat the skin-making this a four step system, each product working beautifully and effortlessly with the next. Begin your regimen by cleansing your skin with Tangerine Dream Oil Cleanser. The warming effects will soothe your skin. Then proceed with Mojito Tonic, an eclectic blend of ingredients that will re-new your skin, giving you that beach glow!  Calypso Cool is a gentle yet cooling moisturizer that effectively contrasts the warming effects of Tangerine Dream.

 If you begin to notice a pesky blemish or zit (definitely not fit for the beach), simply apply a little of Sizzle*; developed to zap away your problems putting both your skin regimen and worries to an end!

* Sizzle is a PRO USE ONLY product and is only available to licensed professionals. Please contact your Sales or Account Executive for more information. A saucy alternative to Sizzle is our BPO Magic Marker (VLT0.4301)
