Osmosis Skincare

 

Vegan, Cruelty-Free and Gluten-Free, Osmosis Skincare’s Replenish Antioxidant Repair Serum can be used in any regimen as a preventative measure against daily free radical damage. This potent concentrate rejuvenates as it delivers optimal doses of antioxidants directly into the skin. This is achieved through a patent pending Liposomal Delivery System that increases product penetration by 600%.

As an antioxidant power lifter, Replenish is beneficial for all skin types and can be used twice daily to boost your skin’s immunity to pollution, stress, UV rays and other common aggravators. Why is it important to prevent free radical damage before it starts? It can cause harm to our skin’s DNA which means accelerated aging.

Luckily, Replenish Antioxidant Repair Serum contains over 17 different antioxidants to boost support against free radical damage along with hydrating ingredients like Vitamin B. Using Vitamin B3, or niacinamide, it is effective in all aspects of the skin restoration process by increasing nutrients in the skin. It contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for ultimate renewal.

The formula also contains Vitamin E, green tea and ginkgo biloba extracts that work together to further block UVA and UVB rays. Its floral extracts nourish while lactic acid resurfaces rough textures for smoother results. Replenish Antioxidant Repair Serum can also be used as an alternative to Vitamin A serums.

The addition of Replenish to any skin care regimen will leave the skin glowing and hydrated.

Directions: After cleansing, shake lightly and apply 1-2 pumps every morning and evening.

Price: $80, 1oz

Wild Spirit New Fragrance line from the founders of Raw Spirit

Wild Spirit,  a new fragrance line launched online at wildspiritfragrances.com  in  ​June and in Walmart in mid July, is a fragrance brand with real ingredients at real prices that celebrates individuality. Wild Spirit products are vegan, contain natural essential oils and are free from parabens, sulphates and dyes. Wild Spirit is cruelty free and proudly formulated in the USA.

 

Wild Spirit Fragrances

Wild Spirit Fragrances

 

Wild Spirit, inspired by sister brand Raw Spirit, was created by New York-based co-founders, fragrance designer and CEO Joyce Laniganand and renowned fashion photographer Russell James.

The fragrance collection consists of four scents, “Spring Jasmine”, “Driftwood”, “Chill” and “First Snow,” each embodying distinct personalities designed to resonate and connect with a specific consumer.  Each seasonal name possesses a double-connotation. Some might say the Spring Jasmine girl resembles the season of Spring, perky, energetic and upbeat.

The First Snow girl is resilient and cool like the season of winter. But that’s not to say that one doesn’t prefer a little bit of chill in the hot days of summer!

Each bottle features unique female influencers of diverse ethnicities. Shot by Russell James in natural backdrops, each fragrance shines a light on the Wild Spirit of individual personalities.

The influencers featured are IMG models

Ashley Moore (@ashley_moore)

Victoria Germyn (@victoriagermyn)

Laura James (@jameslaura)

and

Eva Adams (@mevadams).

The press release tells us, “The consumer is seen as demographic ages ranging from 16-45, because age isn’t our focus, but her personality and outlook on life. The scents were designed to be combined, layer, mix and match to create your own unique scent that embodies personality, mood, occasion and aspirations.”

“As a fragrance designer and a consumer, I realized that there was a white space for affordable luxury fragrances. We want to encourage the wearer to experiment with scent and to embrace their own unique self, allow their ‘wild spirit’ to shine through,” says Joyce Lanigan.

Laura Buntain, senior buyer tells us, “Walmart is a destination for Beauty, and we know their  more than 140 million shoppers a week are going to love WILD SPIRIT. We are in constant pursuit of the best assortment of our items for our beauty customers, and today more than ever, that  includes naturally-inspired, clean products that are both on-trend and affordable.”

“We are beyond thrilled to bring our customers this line of eco-conscious, luxurious fragrances at an incredible value.”

Scent details are:

“Spring Jasmine” – Put a spring in your step. Sassy, Cheeky & Cute. Inspired by a petally, white floral creation highlighted by a dominant creamy jasmine signature and enhanced with specialty tea notes.

“Driftwood” – Fresh & Airy.  Alluring, Trend-setting & Original. Fallen trees, sundrenched and salted, on a white sand beach surrounded by lush vegetation and tropical florals.

“Chill” – Delicious and Tranquil. Spontaneous, Free-Spirit & Bohemian. Inspired by the warm, creamy woods that are contrasted with fresh, airy accents to reflect the radiance of a golden beach sunset on a crisp day.

“First Snow” – Crisp & Cool. Empowered & Fierce. Inspired by a unique contrast of crisp aromatic notes and black pepper combined with a rick smoldering woody effect, highlighted with signature Bushman Candle.

“We aim to be straightforward, authentic and relatable and a little cheeky. We don’t talk at our girl but instead we are in an ongoing conversation with her. We want to engage, interact and advise by creating a trusted bond and relationship instead of coming off preachy or pushy.”  adds Creator, Joyce Lanigan.

Skin Cancer Awareness Month is Coming To An End Let’s Not Miss A Mention of Goldfaden MD Sun Visor

Skin Cancer Awareness Month is coming to an end this month of May. Many of us are celebrating Memorial Day activities and festivities in the sun this weekend. Here at It’s a Glam Thing we take as many opportunities as we can to remind our fans of the dangers of the sun.  One of our team members is a  skin cancer survivor . This topic truly hits home for us.

In previous posts this month and prior, we have written informative posts about adult skin cancer and child skin cancer.  This month St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital sent us some really good info regarding children’s skin cancer. Here is one of the prior postings.

http://itsaglamthing.com/2018/05/24/memorial-day-weekend-st-jude-skin-cancer-expert-urges-parents-take-steps-protect-children/

Goldfaden MD Sun Visor SPF 30 Mist

Goldfaden MD Sun Visor Ultra Light Oil Free SPF 30 Mist

 

We have suggested several brands of sunblock/sunscreen creams and lotions but not, of recent, an spf mist. There is a spf mist by the  brand Goldfaden MD. This line was developed by South Florida Dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden line.  First off, this product had our attention at Dermatologist developed. Secondly it is the FIRST dermatologist developed NATURAL skincare brand.  The product is Goldfaden MD Sun Visor Ultra Light Oil Free SPF 30 Mist.

You can meet Dr. Goldfaden HERE.

The formula is fragrance free so it does not smell bad.  It does not stain clothing. It does not leave skin  covered in a white cast or looking ashy after using it. It is not oily.

Let me be clear though. Wear sunscreen. Even if the brand you are using does stain or may not smell like you would prefer, maybe it does make your skin ashy or a bit oily. Use Sunscreen! Use sunscreen even if it is not sunny!

Back to Goldfaden MD Sun Visor. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher for any extended outdoor activity. This sunscreen meets that criteria. Regardless of the SPF, though, it’s important to apply frequently for the best protection.

This formula is PABA free and that is very important to your health. The outer box states that it is 100% vegetarian. I would think that it is Vegan also. I can not see that it would contain any animal ingredients or animal by products, honey, beeswax, dairy or eggs. I will do some research to find that out, as that knowledge is very important to several of us here. One of the ingredients is Organic Red Tea Extract. This is a  natural compound that encourages healthy skin.

Now that Goldfaden MD products are on our radar, you will hear more from us about this brand.

You can follow Goldfaden MD on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

The Skin Balancing Mask I see on the home page right now looks like it is worth a try!

Today is Earth Day, Celebrate the Day with Nubian Heritage

Indian Hemp & Haitian Vetiver Body Wash

Indian Hemp & Haitian Vetiver Body Wash

 

Today is Earth Day. I wanted to be sure that I checked back with Part 2 of Friday’s post. Please refer HERE for Part 1 . As I mentioned, I celebrated Earth Day by finding a new beauty brand or a “new to me” brand that meets the Earth Day initiatives every day. I discarded a brand that I currently use which is not as ethical.

Nubian Heritage is the New brand that I really do enjoy.  I am back to tell you about their fabulous and my favorite products from the brand. I do hope you were able to check out their website.

From the Raw Shea Butter Collection, my favorite is product is the Age Defying & Protecting Body Wash. I had to try really hard not to indulge myself use too much during one shower.  I it smells so great and gives me the feel of an in shower body lotion too. The wash is made with Soy Milk, Frankincense and Myrrh.

You’ll find Avocado Oil in the The Ultra Moisturizing and Long Lasting Body Lotion from the Olive and Green Tea Collection. Of course it is formulated with Green Tea and lots of other earthly ingredients. “Green Tea is revered by naturalists for it’s powerful antioxidant properties.

The Abyssinian & Chia Seed Collection features 16th Century Superfood and Ancient Ethiopian ingredients.  The hand cream is heavenly, especially for me, after a harsh winter and spring planting. My hands were at their worst so this product tops the list right now, with Amarnath Extract & Ginseng.

The products from the Nubian Heritage Indian Hemp & Haitian Vetiver Collection are very softening and moisturizing. The 100% Infused She Butter is rich with Hemp seed and Neem Oil. This is so great for my hands right now but my body loves it too.

I could go on and on as right now I am almost entirely consumed by these products but again, check out the Nubian Heritage website HERE.

Special note: This year’s Earth Day 2018 is dedicated to providing the information and inspiration needed to fundamentally change human attitude and behavior about plastics. Nubian Heritage packaging contains a minimum of 25% consumer resin.

Additional note to Part 1: I am vegan so I love that the body wash is made with Soy Milk. Of course, I stay away from anything that is not vegan. They do offer Goat Milk and Honey products on the website.

A Prelude to Earth Day with Nubian Heritage

Sunday April 22, is Earth Day. How do we celebrate Earth Day? What is it meant to accomplish? The below is taken directly from Earthday.org  :

Earth Day

“Close to 48 years ago, on 22 April 1970, millions of people took to the streets to protest the negative impacts of 150 years of industrial development.

In the US and around the world, smog was becoming deadly and evidence was growing that pollution led to developmental delays in children. Biodiversity was in decline as a result of the heavy use of pesticides and other pollutants.

The global ecological awareness was growing, and the US Congress and President Nixon responded quickly. In July of the same year, they created the Environmental Protection Agency, and robust environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, among many.

Earth Day is now a global event each year, and we believe that more than 1 billion people in 192 countries now take part in what is the largest civic-focused day of action in the world.”

I have been in the beauty industry for over 20 years and am happy to tell you how ethically-made and environmentally-friendly beauty brands honor Earth Day every day, 365 days a year!

Let’s start by saying, not all brands meet high ratings of approval in terms of being environmentally sound and effective on your skin. So do your research. Make Fair Trade part of your beauty routine. Support brands that  are the most responsible in the ingredients they use.  Find brands that help the environment. Don’t be deceived by products that claim to be “Organic” and Green”.  There is no real definition in the industry of either term. Many manufacturers will label their products as such without upholding any honorable or true standards or intentions.

I decided to honor this Earth Day by finding a new beauty brand or a “new to me” brand that meets the Earth Day initiatives every day. I discarded a brand that I currently use which is not as ethical.

Nubian Heritage

The brand I chose for this Earth Day 2018 is Nubian Heritage . This brand has accomplished the use of authentic natural ingredients. Nubian Heritage works with educating and supporting local community groups. Nubian Heritage supports Homecoming Farm and Sophia Garden located in Amityville, NY, to promote health, wellness, eco-consciousness and sustainability. They use soy milk instead of dairy milk in their formulations. The product labeling proudly displays the PETA cruelty free bunny logo.  The logo means they are affiliated with an official organization.  (Note: There are companies out there that brand their products as cruelty free with Fake Cruelty Free Logos.)

Take some time to look over the Nubian Heritage website and by or on Earth Day, I will be back with a dedicated post about some of their fine and my favorite products.
