Features and Benefits of our new Skincare line

Sometimes when you start a small remodeling job, one thing leads to another and you end up redoing the entire house.

So it went with our new facial line.  When we first debuted the facials products in 2006, we thought we would never change anything; that it was perfect just the way it was.

But it turned out we needed to tweak a couple of products.

Then came Claudia.  Claudia Lawson is our cosmetic chemist and in the relatively short time she has been at Absolutely Natural, she has made a big impact.  Her passion is to make natural products as effective as possible and come up with unique formulas.  She tirelessly searches for new, innovative natural products to accomplish that.

And, because of her dedication to making natural formulas and her willingness to try new things, our suppliers love her.  The result is that we often get state of the art, natural and organic raw materials before other companies do.

That’s how our “tweak” of the facials products became an entirely new facials line with non-parallel features and benefits.  I am so excited about this line that I consider it to be the most important products we have done in many years.

Also, kudos to Lindsey Barber and Suzanne Clements for our new, great packaging.  We had a challenge with the old pumps and bottles and shared the frustration of our customers.  The new packaging is all easy to use tubes and redesigned bottles eliminating the annoying clogging that plagued the old line.

I think it is vital that you understand the new products so much so that following is a complete description of the product raw materials and their benefits for your face:
