Why Natural?

Natural ingredients in skin care provide the benefits of being safe and
effective. Take for example green tea extract that in several independent
studies has been shown to provide the most powerful antioxidant benefits for
the skin when applied topically. Contrary to synthetic counterparts that
often provide instant gratification due to plastic polymers added for
softness or fragrances mimicking the true plant essences, natural extracts
are full of natural vitamins, minerals and other organic compounds that are
compatible and benefit human skin. The demand for natural skin care is
growing due to numerous study results published to increase consumer's
awareness of using synthetics that can have serious health implications when
used long term. Also consumers are beginning to make the realization that the epidemics
plaguing our modern society are unnatural and most likely a consequence of
exposure to chemicals in the environment.

However, most companies are not
making the switch quite yet to using natural ingredients due to the higher
pricing of raw materials, therefore the necessity to significantly increase
production costs.But there is hope, European Union banned dangerous substances from cosmetics, starting with September 2004 and in February of this year the
Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to the cosmetics industry
stating that the agency is serious about enforcing the
law requiring companies to inform consumers that personal care products have
not been safety tested. Until all the positive changes will take place it
still ultimately comes down to making better personal choices, reading
labels and choosing products that are much safer for you, your family and
the environment..

Claudia Starkey, creator and owner of Remedix.
Although Remedix is a relatively new company, the creative concepts behind their time-tested products have been around for years. Claudia spent her formative years under Communist rule in the Eastern European country of Romania.
During the 1980's, most of Romania's food and other resources were exported from the country, leaving the majority of provisions unattainable.
Beyond the very basics, like a simple bar of soap, purchasing skin care and other body care products was out of the question.
But Claudia and many others turned to the land and forests of Transylvania.
The region is known for its unspoiled bounty of plants and herbs.It is this knowledge of formulating products that naturally comes from the earth that Remedix was built on.
When Claudia moved to Boston in 2000, she realized that there were things missing from store's shelves.
She decided to create a line of unusual products that will provide more natural alternatives for beauty and wellness.
Starting with her first product, an eyelash treatment made after an Eastern European old recipe, Remedix was born.
Claudia's desire to create skin and natural body care has now grown to a full product line which can be purchased at her store on Newbury Street in Boston as well as online. Claudia has not forgotten her home.
Proceeds from Remedix sales are being sent to help the people of Romania.
Her efforts have touched many lives through social, educational, and environmental projects throughout Romania and Eastern Europe.Claudia resides in Quincy, Massachusetts along with her husband Larry and son Alex. remedix@comcast.net

Anti Aging Skin Care : "Pharmaceutical" Cosmetics

Copyright 2006 Danna Schneider

Have you ever heard the new buzz term "cosmeceuticals"?
This nifty term refers to the fusion of two areas, one which cultivates necessary medications which control our bodily processes internally, and the other, which manipulates our body from the outside, cosmetically improving our appearance.

You guessed it, the first is "pharmaceuticals" and the second is "cosmetics".
The joining of these two fields, both extremely lucrative, and arguably necessary, is called "cosmeceuticals", and this exciting new breed is causing a stir in the beauty community lately.

Although they have been united in this new genre of cosmetics, the two are very different when it comes to government and advisory board regulation.
Pharmaceuticals, at least in the US currently, are heavily regulated by the organization known as the FDA, while cosmetics are not government regulated.

Why?

Standards for Natural and Organic Cosmetics

Standards for Natural and Organic Cosmetics If you are concerned about what you eat, and the levels of synthetic chemicals present in your food, the next logical step is to focus attention on what you put on your skin every day. Up to 60 percent of what is applied to the skin soaks through to the blood vessels where it is processed by the liver. The rest of the cosmetic is absorbed by the skin or evaporates away. For those who approach their health holistically, cosmetics warrant a closer view as to what the current standards are regarding natural and organic cosmetics. A natural cosmetic denotes a product made with natural ingredients and simple methods of preparation.

Natural cosmetics should also be free from chemical ingredients, which are agents that have undergone extreme heat or pressure to drastically alter the chemical profile of the original substance. Many synthetic chemicals, although chemically identical to their natural parallels, have a history of causing allergies,...
