Get Glow Hair care products
Every head of hair has different needs. At Get Glow they wanted to create beautiful products with the power to make every person’s hair look better than it has before. When your hair needs are met, no matter who you are, it feels good. It’s amazing, really. That tiny happiness, when your hair surprises you, that is what they were after. To redirect frizz or to create thickness. To see fried, tired hair return to vitality and good health. To nourish and indulge hair with conditioning treatments. To feel cleaner and look more beautiful. That possibility. That is the seed at the core of every product we make.
Tapping nature’s abundance, using the latest developments from the lab and working with botanists and chemists relentlessly, they wanted to bring these formulas and all they promise to the palm of your hand.
When you notice a new beauty product, and the silent voice in your head says “Hmmm…what’s this”? Your impulse is to smell it, touch it and try it. Small sensory pleasures. Never underestimate them.
Ultimately though, it’s about self expression. Yours. Taking the time to care for yourself. Playing with your look or creating a new one. A small effort to look better and ultimately feel better. It is possible. They hope they could inspire you to bring this sense of possibility to all the areas of your busy life.

Luzern Bio-swiss products
Something New
Luzern is an innovative approach to skin care. Instead of making the customer buy dozens of different crèmes and lotions – each one for a different problem – Luzern has created a hydrating base crème and a few serums (each for something else) which can be added to the base interchangeably. The customer can pick and choose which skin issue he or she wants to work on, and then simply add a few drops of the corresponding serum to the base.
Luzern is an all-organic luxury brand which uses the finest “Bio-Swiss certified organic botanicals, medical-grade nutrients, and ultra-hydrating Alpine water” to bring the most subtle, yet powerful, anti-aging formula to you.
Luzern Laboratories was founded in 1996 and is based in the east coast. It is an all-American brand, using products grown in the United States.
The Technology Behind the Miracle
What is very interesting about Luzern is the extreme care and subtlety used to compose the products. The ingredients are so fine and so pure and the process is so exact to ensure that oxygen molecules remain in the resulting product.
What is very interesting about Luzern is the extreme care and subtlety used to compose the products. The ingredients are so fine and so pure and the process is so exact to ensure that oxygen molecules remain in the resulting product.
These oxygen molecules are incredibly important, and key to Luzern’s effectiveness: they separate and carry the nutrient molecules in the crèmes or serums, which ensures that all of the goodness of Luzerne gets promptly and wholly absorbed by your skin, instead of remaining on top of your skin and clogging your pores.
The Product
The base crème is wonderfully light. There was absolutely no greasy residue, and it was absorbed by my skin fairly quickly while still keeping my hand well moisturized. The consistency may surprise you – it isn’t like most crèmes or lotions. It is more fluid than most moisturizers I’ve come across; this consistency is part of (in addition to the oxygen molecules, of course) what makes it lighter and more easily absorbed by the skin.
Next came the serums. Each serum was very light and non-greasy and absorbed quickly.
The serums are highly concentrated, so only a few drops are necessary daily. There are three ways of applying the serums:You can apply three to five drops directly onto your skin. For example, theSerum Vanish Absolute, Luzern’streatment for dark under-eye circles, can be applied directly to the fragile skin under your eyes.
You can also blend three to five drops of the serum with the base crème or your daily moisturizer to create a truly personalized day crème. The Serum Control Absolute,Luzern’s formula for oily and/or acne prone skin can be mixed with moisturizer to create a holistic acne-fighting formula.
Finally, you can also add five drops to Luzern’s System O2 Infuse once-a-week mask. This works on a deeper level than the previous two methods, as the oxygen and Co-Q10 in System O2 Infuse draws the active ingredients deep into your skin.
Along with crèmes and serums, Luzern also offers facial masks and cleansers. Like the crèmes and serums, the facial mask was nicely light, as were the soft-foaming cleansers. Although rinsing is recommended for the cleansers, it is actually not necessary; there is no sticky residue and the skin is left feeling extremely soft.
A Friend to You, A Friend to the Environment
Luzern Laboratories is fully committed to the environment and to bringing the best quality, organic products to its clients. Luzern’s products are made with ingredients mixed in small batches to ensure quality and certified organic plant extracts and pharmaceutical-grade actives. They are paraben and formaldehyde free, hypo-allergic, non-comedogenic and are not tested on animals.

The containers are already simple and without unnecessary breadth; however, Luzern has decided to take it step further. Newly packaged products will feature boxes made from recycled paper, and the silver paint will disappear. All ink will be non-toxic and made from plants sources, such as soy.
Luzern can be found in high-end department stores and boutiques, as well as high-end spas and online.

Bethesda Sunscreen Soap
All Natural Sunscreen Soap
Bethesda Skincare, a skincare company of all-natural skincare products, is excited to announce the launching of the world’s first ever all-natural sunscreen soap – a SPF 10 Multi-Vitamin Body Bar that cleanses and nourishes the body.Bethesda Sunscreen Soap contains a combination of healing and therapeutic properties that moisturizes as it protects the body from the harmful rays of the sun. The soap leaves behind an unnoticeable protective layer that provides daily sun protection.
Because it is packaged in bar form, Bethesda Sunscreen Soap glides on to the body to leave a smooth and finished effect that is committed to strengthening the largest and most absorbent organ in the human body, the skin. Like eating organic food or taking a multi-vitamin for a healthy lifestyle, this all-natural soap goes to work on the outer body taking extreme care in ensuring that the skin remains healthy and beautiful.
The world’s first all-natural sunscreen soap, Bethesda Sunscreen Soap currently has two patents pending in the United States. This unique product provides professional women, mothers, athletes, caregivers as well as all who enjoy outdoor activity, an effective, yet simple form of SPF protection while providing therapeutic nourishment for the body.
Creator and Founder, Jamie Collins Doss swears by these products because of their pure ingredients, after all, she spent over fifteen years researching and testing all-natural therapeutic products for the safety and allergy concerns she faced. Due to her illness that caused sensitivity to sunscreen lotions and traditional multi-vitamins along with her father’s constant removal of chronic skin cancer legions as a farmer, Jamie realized that the marketplace was absent of an effective, yet healthful sun protection agent. She wanted, and needed, a product that was fortified with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids that also protected her family and her children from the harmful effects of the sun. Thus, Jamie accepted the challenge of producing a healthy alternative, hence, the introduction of a wonderful, healthy, all-natural protective and therapeutic product that is applied simply by washing everyday with it in your bath or shower.
The highlight of Bethesda is the fact that its rich ingredients, such as glycerin, (highly recommend by consumers) and healing balm of Gilead (a salve that has been commonly used in the Middle East), create a powerful, yet gentle way to enhance the skin cells as it pampers the body.
For convenient, everyday sun protection, and beautiful new skin for the entire family, Bethesda Skincare is the only set of products that are all-natural and healthy for the entire body.

Kumaara skin care
Kumaara Anti Aging Skin Care Beauty Line
Iconic Labs, LLC announced the launch of its exclusive new Kumaara Anti-Aging Skincare beauty line, a collection of six premium topical anti-aging skincare products formulated with Linefactor, a scientifically advanced growth factor protector, and a potent certified organic berry blend of Indian Gooseberry, Goji and Açaí antioxidant super-fruit extracts. The second beauty brand developed especially for Iconic Labs’ direct-to-consumer online sales model, Kumaara Anti-Aging Skincare is sold exclusively at http://www.kumaara.com allowing the company to reduce its pricing while increasing the potency of the products.Kumaara Anti-Aging Skincare combines the most effective, time-proven, natural and organic antioxidants with modern science to promote rapid skin cell renewal and repair, and to stimulate collagen production — all resulting in a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles with renewed, youthful skin density, texture, firmness and elasticity. Kumaara Anti-Aging skincare is comprised of three product groups designed to promote around-the-clock skin protection and rejuvenation with special emphasis on the delicate eye area skin.
The Day-Night Skin Ritual is composed of two products — A Daily Antioxidant Protection enhanced with SPF15 to both repair and protect the skin during the day and an Overnight Repair Complex to optimize the makeup free recovery and rejuvenation opportunities during sleep.
The second ritual is Daily Glow, a Luminescent Primer that employs the brightening qualities of organic Bearberry and natural Mica to provide a flawless finish before makeup that simultaneously protects the skin and prevents daytime moisture loss.
Finally, the Total Eye Renewal ritual focuses on the repair and full rejuvenation of the delicate skin around the eyes prone to fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. The Luminizing Eye Treatment brightens under-eye skin and reduces puffiness while the Daily Antioxidant Eye Serum decreases fine lines and wrinkles. The Radiant Finish Concealer is a final touch to hide blemishes and skin imperfections. Radiant Finish Concealer is offered in both light/medium and medium/dark shades so as to enhance any skin tone and type.
Iconic Labs sought out some of the most respected beauty rituals on earth for Kumaara. Research has now verified that the Indian Gooseberry is one of the most antioxidant potent super-fruits available on earth. To this, Iconic Labs added organic Goji berry, long used in traditional Chinese medicine to increase longevity, and organic Açaí berry from the Amazon rainforest, a robust healing fruit rich in antioxidants. Combining these natural anti-oxidants with the patented growth factor protector Linefactor has resulted in a potent, anti-aging elixir used in a transforming ritual that stimulates skin repair, helps to prevent free-radical damage, and that promotes a smooth, glowing, youthful complexion.
Other cutting edge ingredients include: Dermaxyl, a potent Oligopeptide that stimulates increased collagen and elastin production; Matrixyl 3000, a proven Tetrapeptide designed to lift and firm skin for effective wrinkle reduction; Oligogeline, a red seaweed extract that forms a protective, moisturizing layer that encourages skin cell renewal; Actiflow, a Polysaccharides-rich compound that brightens under-eye circles; and Eyeseryl, a Tetrapeptide that enhances skin elasticity and smoothness while significantly reducing under eye puffiness in as few as 15 days.
In keeping with the company’s innovative new head-to-toe approach to beauty, the Iconic Labs portfolio also features the OOKISA Hair Thickening Système sold exclusively online at http://www.OOKISA.com. Iconic Labs’ focus on healthy formulations includes a commitment to products that are paraben-free, colorant-free, hormone-free, sulfate-free and cruelty-free
However, I’m not very impressed with it. I didn’t experience any ‘mattifying’ effect. I still have to do touch ups to my shiny face for the usual number of times I usually do. I also suspected that it may be a little too moisturizing – my friend who has oily skin complained that it made her skin look oilier and even gave her more blackheads and pimples! However, for me, I work under air conditioning for long hours and this moisturizer feels like a breath of fresh air on my skin. Pity it doesn’t seem to last very long.
