The unique anti-aging product makes its debut at the Green Mansion VIP Spa Lounge party, along with sponsors Waterford Crystal, Virgin Companies, and SPA-Addicts. The elixir will be included in celebrity swag gift bags to support a variety of green and globally-friendly charities, including Green Global USA, Action Against Hunger, Virgin Unite, the Black-Eyed Peas Foundation, the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Infused with the South African plant Rooibos, known as red tea, Shanti Super Anti-Stress Elixir is specially formulated for environmentally stressed skin. Red tea extract is more powerful than vitamin C and provides 50 times more potent anti-oxidants than green tea. ChanChi’s Shanti Super Anti-Stress Elixir contains the purest form of red tea obtainable–along with other potent anti-oxidants such as alpha-hydroxy acid and zinc. This patented formula promotes healthy, supple, and smooth skin by destroying harmful free radicals that adversely affect the skin and cause premature aging.

Masterminded by Los Angeles yogini and lifestyle guru Clara Chan, the ChanChi product line is specifically designed to cultivate the same benefits yoga has for the body–but for your face and skin–reducing stress while increasing balance, suppleness, and tone.

Contributing to this event is fundamental to ChanChi’s mission statement, which includes donating a portion of all proceeds to philanthropic organizations that enhance the body, mind, and spirit connection. Says Chan, “Action Against Hunger provides clean water and nourishment for the BODY, Virgin Unite empowers youths to use their MINDS and creative talents to give back to the community, and the Black Eyed Peas Foundation speaks to the SPIRIT–by delivering the universal language of music to nations around the world and to promote peace. I couldn’t think of a better atmosphere in which to launch a potent healing elixir.”

The Sundance Film Festival is the premier showcase for U.S. and international independent film, held each January in and around Park City, Utah. Presenting approximately 120 dramatic and documentary feature-length films in seven distinct categories and between 60 and 80 short films each year, the Sundance Film Festival has introduced American audiences to some of the most ground-breaking films of the past two decades, including sex lies and videotape, Maria Full of Grace, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, An Inconvenient Truth, Trouble the Water and Central Station. The festival–and its much-coveted parties and events–are in high demand among celebrities and fashionistas alike.

The first new product, called Trilane Anti-Aging Moisturizer with Squalane, is currently in development. It will contain 100 percent natural, eco-friendly squalane sourced from olives, which has the same hydrating properties as shark-derived squalane, but without the worry of the overfishing associated with shark squalane. In addition, the new formula will contain natural jojoba esters, a botanically-derived emollient that helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin firmness.

“Squalene is a powerful, natural antioxidant found in all human tissues, with the greatest concentration in the skin,” explains Dr. Lark. “I first learned of this wonderful moisturizing oil more than a decade ago from one of my colleagues in the natural health field came to visit me. Squalane has been one of my absolute favorite skin care product ever since. And the new formula promises to be the ideal choice for women of all ages.”

According to Linda Werner, Vice President and General Manager of Women’s Health at Healthy Directions, “We are thrilled to have found an olive-based source of squalane for our Trilane line. This allows us to provide our customers with the amazing benefits of Dr. Lark’s top-selling squalane, while adding the moisturizing and toning properties of jojoba esters. Together, these two ingredients will help minimize the signs of aging from a lifetime of exposure to sun, wind, smoke, pollution, and harsh chemicals.”

Olive-derived squalane is a result of the olive oil industry. After pressing the olives to obtain olive oil, the leftover material is then used to extract squalene, which is then converted into squalane. Jojoba esters are made from jojoba seed oil, which is actually a liquid wax made up of long chain wax esters. They are very stable and highly resist oxidation, making them very useful in cosmetic formulations.

In Glendale near Phoenix, plastic surgeon, Dr. Regenass comments, “We have to use the power of our food ingredients to slow down the aging process. Antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients all play a significant role in our health which also reflects in the severity of our fine lines and wrinkles and our skin elasticity.”

Proper nutrition is always the first advice from health advocates and physicians in keeping the body strong and healthy. It is in recent years that antioxidants have been recognized for their intimate involvement in the prevention of cellular damage. Cellular damage is a major contributor to cancer, diseases, and aging. Antioxidants can slow the cellular damage - slow the aging process.

It is these power foods or superfoods that have been singled out for their high nutrient properties and for the roles they play in reducing the symptoms of premature aging. Dr. Regenass has combined her in-depth knowledge of nutrition and anti-aging to develop a cookbook loaded with recipes designed around good foods and good flavor.

Dr. Regenass again, “Healthy eating, anti-aging eating, does not taste bad. With beautiful, fresh ingredients, and incredible spices and flavors, these recipes are easy to make, bursting with flavor and the added benefit is slowing the process of aging from the inside out.”

Dr. Heidi provides some of her favorite easy recipes full of anti-aging superfoods. These recipes are designed to spark your imagination and give you the desire to make anti-aging foods part of your daily diet, thereby contributing to a healthier, happier and more gorgeous you.

Dr. Regenass is a plastic surgeon, but she believes that plastic surgery should never be the first answer to beauty. “Beauty, health, and vitality are all reflective of our lifestyles. One who eats nutritious foods and exercises will have a much better cosmetic surgery result than one who does not exercise or eat properly on a regular basis.”

“Cosmetic surgery and non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX Cosmetic, injectable fillers, and laser skin resurfacing are tools to help us fight aging and appear youthful, but they should be complimented with other choices - exercise and the foods we eat, ” says Dr. Regenass.

Some cosmetic surgery options to help fight the aging battle are incredibly beneficial for their subtle changes but highly effective results such as brow lift. Phoenix patients enjoy the natural refreshed look after a brow lift procedure with Dr. Regenass. “My goal is always beautiful, refreshed, natural-looking results.”

Eyelid surgery, Phoenix surgeon, Dr. Regenass, suggests to open the eye area for a less angry or less tired appearance. “It’s amazing what an eyelift can do for one’s appearance. It opens the eye and makes a more alert and youthful face.”

While in graduate school, Cheri Oatsdean found that her post-adolescent skin was actually worse than it had been as a teenager. Also, her skin wasn’t improving with any of the major cosmetic lines that she tried in desperation. In fact, with her sensitive skin, she was actually burning her skin in an attempt to alleviate her embarrassing facial outbreaks.

Frustrated with most of the available products, she tried to find a gentle, more natural skin cleanser. Finally, she discovered and developed a pine resin, essential oil-based skin care product that worked wonders on her own skin.

“I saw a startling and unexpected benefit. It began reversing the aging process,” said Oatsdean. “I’m nearly 60, and I’m often mistaken for someone in her 30s.”

Beginning the arduous task of marketing and manufacturing her soap for mass distribution, Oatsdean’s products were tested and approved by a biologist. She continued developing her soap into her current line, culminating with the 2008 launch of www.FlawlesslyYours.com and her new blog site, SkinAndHairSolutionsBlog.com. The blog launched in December 2008.

Even pet owners and groomers have benefited from this gentle soap.

“These products are so gentle. Nothing has ever made my skin feel and look so clean and smooth,” Oatsdean said. “Thankfully, I discovered these formulas in my early forties before my skin had visibly aged. Now I am told I look like I have discovered the fountain of youth–a daily, gentle, and natural Botox in a bottle.”

Oatsdean recognizes that her products may not be for everyone. For that reason, she has a very thorough guide for allergy testing on the FAQ section of her website. For additional information, customers can visit her informational blog, www.SkinAndHairSolutionsBlog.com.

“This is more than just a business to me; it’s an opportunity to serve others,” said Oatsdean. “I want to help people who have the same skin problems I had. These products are so gentle and natural, and I can tailor the formula to each individual person’s skin type. It is so rewarding to alleviate pain and build self-esteem, regardless of age or station in life.”

About the Company:
Flawlessly Yours! LLC was founded by Cheri Oatsdean in January 2008. Her skin, hair, and pet care products range from humans to pets. Each item has been personally tested and manufactured by Oatsdean.

According to the study, Organic Fresh Fruit had the highest purchase incidence at 27%, with Organic Fresh Vegetables close behind at 26%. Organic Dairy Products, Eggs and Milk, were cited for purchase by 18% and 17% of US Adults, respectively. Frozen Organic products — Vegetables, Fruit and Ice Cream — had low purchase levels at 5-6%. Purchase levels for Organic Beauty Care products also had very low mainstream acceptance with stated purchase for Organic Skincare at 5% and Organic Hair Care and Cosmetics at 4% and 3%, respectively. By contrast, non-Organic products for all of the above categories have household penetration levels of well above 70%.

“The findings are consistent with trends we have been tracking in retailer sales data,” commented Dr. Jetta. “Very few of these products have meaningful sales levels in traditional mass market retailers, even the ones that are very strong in the Natural Food and Specialty channels.”

Dr. Jetta goes on to say that while a few retailers have had success with Organic products, most of the ones that have invested heavily in this trend will see a poor return on that investment. “Most of the sales growth in these channels has been driven by increased selection of Organic products rather than any inherent growth in consumer appeal.”

“Many women tend to think short-term and focus solely on the topical approach to healthy skin,” says Jeannette Graf, M.D., a leading skin science expert and advisor to the “Life…supplemented” campaign. “Lotions and creams are important, but it is even more important to take care of your skin from the inside out. If you’re healthy, your skin will show it — and the best way to stay healthy is to engage in smart lifestyle choices. Start with a healthy diet and supplement with vitamins and regular exercise.”

For example, vitamins A, C and E are key to combating natural aging, and a deficiency in certain Omega-3 fatty acids can often lead to dry and itchy skin. While moisturizers can help, a healthy diet supplemented by appropriate vitamins, minerals and other supplements is part of a long-term effective solution. In fact, 62 percent of dermatologists believe there are gaps in their patients’ diets that could be effectively addressed with dietary supplements.

If all this information sounds confusing, don’t be afraid to ask a doctor for guidance. Sixty-one percent of dermatologists agree one of their roles as a healthcare professional is to provide information to patients on dietary supplements, and the ones they’re most often asked about include vitamin E (45 percent), vitamin D (42 percent), Omega-3 / Fish Oil (41 percent), multivitamins (36 percent) and vitamin C (30 percent). A good way to start the conversation is to visit www.lifesupplemented.org and take My Wellness Scorecard, a free wellness assessment tool that helps consumers identify realistic steps toward better health. Bring the results to the doctor in order to develop a personalized wellness regimen that includes dietary supplements as needed.

And while a well-balanced wellness regimen that includes a healthy diet, vitamins and regular exercise is the foundation for long-term skin health, there are other steps you can take to winterize your skin this season: 1) Shield yourself with an SPF 15 lotion or higher. Just because you aren’t spending as much time outdoors doesn’t mean you’re safe from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. 2) Wash skin gently. Use warm water and avoid long, hot showers; strong soaps and irritating additives in skin creams. 3) Moisturize regularly to replace moisture lost through the winter elements and to add valuable nutrients to your skin. 4) If you smoke, quit. It accelerates the aging of skin.

Methodology: Results from the 2008 “Life…supplemented” HCP Impact Study went public in November 2008 and comprise three separate surveys – 300 cardiologists, 300 dermatologists and 300 orthopaedic specialists. Margins of sampling error at a 95 percent confidence level are ±5.7 percentage points for each of the specialty groups of healthcare professionals surveyed (dermatologists, cardiologists and orthopaedic specialists). A nominal honorarium was given to each healthcare professional completing the survey. Ipsos Public-Affairs conducted the survey online. The first “Life…supplemented” HCP Impact Study of primary care physicians, OB/GYNs and nurses was conducted online in November 2007.

About the “Life…supplemented” HCP Impact Study: The study is part of the “Life…supplemented” consumer wellness campaign, which is dedicated to driving awareness about the mainstream use of dietary supplements as an integral part of a proactive personal wellness regimen that combines healthy diet, supplements and exercise. The study evaluates the personal attitudes and use of dietary supplements by healthcare professionals and whether their attitudes toward supplements affect their clinical behavior and recommendations to patients. The “Life…supplemented” campaign is managed by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, the leading trade association for the dietary supplement industry.

The SkinGlow line utilizes patented Cupron copper technology which provides a gentle, non-invasive and natural solution for dramatically restoring skin’s youthful look and glowing appearance. Copper ions woven into the fabric are activated by moisture released from the body during sleep, beautifying skin’s appearance, making it look smoother and younger while nourishing stressed and aging skin. The ions last for the lifetime of the product, even after repeated washings, without losing effectiveness, as long as fabric softeners aren’t used.

Cupron’s breakthrough, patented technology uniquely binds copper to textile fibers to create innovative and functional products. Copper’s natural properties are scientifically and clinically proven to penetrate skin, leaving its appearance healthier, glowing and more beautiful. In addition to its beauty benefits, the non-sensitizing and non-irritating copper-infused fabric has natural deodorant properties that reduce body odor-causing bacteria, fungus and microbes.

“My patients come to me for advice on new products that offer non-invasive options that rejuvenate the look of skin by making it look firmer, radiant, and younger, while still keeping costs low,” said Dr. Yael Halaas, a renowned Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in New York City. “I can honestly say the Cupron copper-infused technology found in the SkinGlow product line is truly revolutionary and lives up to its promise of effectively renewing the skin during sleep.”

One of the more recent, and amongst the most popular, of such age-defying treatments is the lauded Botox injections. These painful and intrusive injections have shown dramatic results with regards to increasing firmness in the skin and in removing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as other medical benefits that Botox has to offer.

However, amid a recent FDA (Food and Drug Administration) warning, which was released in February of 2008, with regards to the popular Botox injections, there are newer, far more dangerous side effects that join the list of the many known side effects that can be caused by using injections like Botox.

Of the more common side effects that are already known, such as the loss of facial expressiveness, and the numbing or losing of feeling in the muscles of areas near to where injections have been administered, other more severe and sometimes fatal side effects, such as respiratory failure and death, have been warned about by the FDA in their recent report. And the amount or frequency of the dosage, as well as the manner in which it has been used are irrelevant; the warning includes a wide variety of dosage levels that can be administered to treat a range of conditions, all which are subject to the same potentially fatal side effects.

“As more people become aware of the inherent risks that can be associated with using an injected treatment to treat their skin, like Botox, many are opting to go with safer, anti-wrinkle creams like Skinlastin,” states Lisa Goodwill, spokesperson for Dermagevity Skin Care–one of the leading cosmeceutical companies. “The sales of our anti-wrinkle cream, Skinlastin, have recently soared since the FDA report was released in February (2008) and have continued to dramatically rise since that time, because people just are not willing to take their own wellbeing in-hand when it comes to making their skin look and feel better.”

Considering all of the benefits that can be experienced when using injected treatments, like Botox, and when comparing the pros of such treatments to the known adverse side effects, it is no wonder why companies like Dermagevity are experiencing such a climb in sales of anti-wrinkle creams like Skinlastin.

“Unlike injections, which can be both painful and intrusive, and can cause a multitude of undesirable side effects,” states Goodwill, “Skinlastin has no known side effects.” “It works immediately to increase firmness in the skin, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, and remove the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles in the skin by using all-natural and clinically-proven ingredients.”

Skinlastin incorporates a proprietary blend of patented, scientifically and clinically-proven, age-defying ingredients to provide safe, natural and speedily results for the consumer. And when comparing the costs of maintaining such cosmetic appearances, anti-wrinkle creams like Skinlastin cost far less than injected treatments, and are safer to use.

“LATISSE fulfills a significant and previously unmet need in the medical aesthetic marketplace with a product approved by the FDA that increases the growth of eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker,” said Scott Whitcup, M.D., Allergan’s Executive Vice President of Research and Development. “As the global leader in medical aesthetics, LATISSE exemplifies our continuing commitment to developing innovative treatments that are studied in well-controlled clinical trials, manufactured to pharmaceutical standards, appropriately labeled for use, and available to consumers as a prescription product.”

Available only through a doctor, LATISSE is a once-daily prescription treatment applied to the base of the upper eyelashes with a sterile, single-use-per-eye disposable applicator. LATISSE users can expect to experience longer, fuller and darker eyelashes in as little as eight weeks, with full results in 16 weeks. To maintain effect, continued treatment with LATISSE is required. If use of LATISSE is discontinued, eyelashes will gradually return to where they were prior to treatment over a period of weeks to months (average eyelash hair cycle).

Similar to Allergan’s other medical aesthetic offerings, the benefits of LATISSE are derived from scientific evidence, its quality formulation, and medical origin. LATISSE was clinically tested in a pivotal Phase III, multi-center, double-masked, placebo-controlled study to assess its safety and efficacy in which all endpoints (improved eyelash prominence, length, thickness and darkness) were met. In addition, like BOTOX (botulinum toxin type A), which was first approved by the FDA as a medical treatment for eye disorders and was later found to have an aesthetic benefit, bimatoprost, the active ingredient in LATISSE, was first approved in 2001 as a medical product to lower intraocular pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients treated with bimatoprost for this specific eye condition experienced eyelash growth as a side effect. The long-term safety of bimatoprost for therapeutic use has been recognized by the medical community and well established based on use in 32 clinical trials involving more than 5,700 glaucoma patients and more than 13 years of clinical trial experience. Given the existing and substantial clinical and post-marketing safety data with bimatoprost solution 0.03%, coupled with the positive results from the Phase III LATISSE study, LATISSE provides patients a clinically meaningful aesthetic benefit with a favorable safety profile.

Bimatoprost is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the formulation of LATISSE and is a structural prostaglandin analog, a lipid compound derived from fatty acids designed to bind to prostaglandin (PG) receptors. PG receptors are present in hair, particularly in the dermal papilla and outer root sheath. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, PG receptors are thought to be involved in the development and regrowth of the hair follicle,1 by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of, the anagen or growth phase.

“As an oculoplastic surgeon who has treated both medical eye conditions as well as aesthetic needs, I have extensive knowledge of and experience with the established therapeutic safety profile for bimatoprost,” said Steven Fagien, M.D., F.A.C.S., in private practice at Aesthetic Eyelid Plastic Surgery in Boca Raton, Florida, and LATISSE clinical investigator. “In the clinical study with LATISSE, I observed statistically significant differences in eyelash growth and resulting patient satisfaction. Now that LATISSE is FDA approved, I look forward to prescribing it to my patients who will enjoy the benefits of more prominent eyelashes while I remain confident in the treatment’s favorable safety profile.”

LATISSE will be available in the United States by prescription only and is subject to all U.S. guidelines applicable to dispensing a prescription product. Based on today’s FDA approval, Allergan expects to launch the product nationwide in the first quarter of 2009. Doctors and consumers are encouraged to visit www.latisse.com for further product and prescribing information.

Allergan estimates global peak sales of LATISSE could exceed $500 million per year. As the exclusive U.S. and foreign patent owner, Allergan obtains the rights to the use of bimatoprost and other prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogs as a treatment to stimulate eyelash growth.

LATISSE Clinical Development Program

In the pivotal Phase III study, 278 healthy adult patients with no active ocular disease and with baseline minimal or moderate eyelash prominence were randomized to apply either LATISSE or vehicle to both upper eyelid margins once daily for 16 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was overall eyelash prominence at the end of the 16-week treatment period as measured by a ≥1-grade improvement on a 4-point Global Eyelash Assessment Scale. Secondary efficacy endpoints were eyelash length, thickness, and darkness as determined by Digital Image Analysis of patient photographs taken in a standardized manner.

All of the endpoints in the LATISSE pivotal trial were met. By the end of the 16-week treatment period, patients treated with LATISSE experienced statistically significant greater improvement (p < 0.0001 for each endpoint) than those in the vehicle group in the measurements of eyelash prominence, length, thickness and darkness. LATISSE was also well tolerated with the most commonly reported adverse events being non-serious and cosmetic in nature. Common adverse events observed in the clinical trial included eye redness (3.6%), itchy eyes (3.6%) and skin hyperpigmentation (2.9%).

Important LATISSE Safety Information

LATISSE solution is intended for use on the skin of the upper eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid. If you are using LUMIGAN or other products in the same class for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), or if you have a history of abnormal IOP, you should only use LATISSE under the close supervision of your doctor.

LATISSE use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible. Although not reported in clinical studies, LATISSE use may also cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent.

It is possible for hair growth to occur in other areas of your skin that LATISSE frequently touches. Any excess solution outside the upper eyelid margin should be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent material to reduce the chance of this from happening. It is also possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation, number of eyelash hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth to occur between eyes. These differences, should they occur, will usually go away if you stop using LATISSE.

The most common side effects after using LATISSE solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in approximately 4% of patients. LATISSE solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids.

If you develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your doctor’s advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE solution.

“One thing is certain, Americans are inundated with a new paradigm shift; “Green living” says Sirjj Organics CEO, Dane E. Johnson. Making Green choices are no longer limited to select products, but now traditional products are attempting reinvention to be competitive in this rapidly developing market structure.

Located in Estes Park, Colorado, Sirjj Organics will revolutionize skin solutions with a direct approach to quality, price and service. Each product now carries its newly developed EWG Safety and Purity ratings to add transparency. Additionally, they work individually with clients to ensure maximum results. Clean, efficient and effective is the Sirjj way.

Courtney in New York writes, “ We really appreciate your help. It is so rare to have such wonderful personal involvement. We Love your products and look forward to using them for many years to come.”

The absolute percentage of cold pressed oils, raw and steeped herbs, and aloe juice is unparalleled in any major skin care line. Efficient composition allows for smaller application requirements. All this, and because of efficient operations and procedures the consumer still pays far less per ounce than anything closely competitive. See incentives and offers.

“We do not produce chemically enhanced or industry status quo products of a few natural oils or some type of herb extract with 50% fillers. Sirjj exemplifies Green pure products that are effective by default. The product is compiled with only nutritious intent. Fillers simply create more of nothing, yet still priced by volume.” Mr. Johnson goes on to say.

Talk about making sense. Sirjj Organics produces balanced effective regimes for reasonable prices. The new affordable general care line, Practically Green and the newest medicinal line DermaTouch both adhere to this philosophy. Just the latest addition to solution driven lines that produce customer comments like below.

“This year Nu Skin’s culture of giving was demonstrated in numerous ways, particularly in China following the Sichuan earthquake and devastating snow storms,” said Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer of Nu Skin Enterprises. “We applaud our Greater China staff and sales force who came together to provide quick and significant relief to those affected by disaster. Nu Skin China truly made a difference as they executed on our mission to be a force for good in the world.”

One of Nu Skin China’s primary charitable efforts came in the wake of the disastrous Sichuan earthquake in May. The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, along with company distributors and employees, donated cash, food and supplies valued at nearly 33 million RMB ($4.8 million) to assist in the relief efforts.

The earthquake happened just before the opening of the Greater China Region Convention in Hong Kong, and prompted an immediate response from Nu Skin staff and distributors in attendance. Donated food and supplies were dispatched to the devastated areas in a matter of days and Fan and his management team visited the most seriously hit areas less than two weeks after the earthquake to help determine the needs of those affected. Once initial needs were met, Nu Skin China worked to create a microfinance program in cooperation with the China Foundation of Poverty Alleviation, China’s most reputable charity organization.

In addition to their assistance during the Sichuan earthquake, Nu Skin China and its distributors provided relief in the wake of record snow storms that plagued many southern Chinese provinces during the Chinese New Year, shutting down business and transportation and stranding hundreds of thousands of people. Nu Skin China also collaborated with the Shanghai Charity Foundation and the Fudan University Children’s hospital to set up the China Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, offering a 10-year sponsorship on heart surgeries for the children in China.

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. demonstrates its tradition of innovation through its comprehensive anti-aging product portfolio, independent business opportunity and corporate social responsibility initiatives.
