There are lots of “experts” There are a precious few skin care mavens out there who really know what they’re talking about when it comes to skin safety and beauty. No More Dirty Looks is undoubtedly one of them. We’re as proud of their review as any…

It’s always nice to find ourselves in the glossy pages of a major publication, like, say, this month’s Marie Claire (see above). Of course, all that takes is some good p.r. work. It can be more gratifying to get a more substantive review. Check out last night’s LA Examiner, which suggested Vivesana sunscreens are “if not the best, one of the best sunscreens” the beauty editor, April Aldana, has ever tried. Yes, we’re blushing.

And, for those who like to actually read the words, “Pick a pure sunblock. I have searched everywhere for a clean, synthetic-free, non-greasy sunscreen. Vivesana SPF 40 is great because it doesn’t leave a white finish and won’t make me break out – and as a bonus, it leaves a beautiful finish. Vivesana Solar to Polar Ultra moisturizing sun care for face and body, $29, spiritbeautylounge.com”. Thanks guys.

What do the Studio 
and the Takoma Park Co-op have in common? They don’t share a style or a coast, but they do share an overarching, all-consuming drive to carry the best quality products they can find. As it happens, they also began carrying Vivesana yesterday afternoon. We’re thrilled to be working with both of them, and love what the variety of approach says about Vivesana – stores from across the spectrum meet when it comes to strong, safe, stylish and effective sun care. Hurray!

No one likes to be cross-examined.
As we begin to form partnerships with retailers around the country, I’ve noticed some simply look at the pretty package and, apparently liking what they see, become focused on the the terms. When retailers arethat easy, we start to worry. It clarifies how tainted, mislabeled, sometimes unsafe products end up on our shelves.
Others poke, prod, and question. Can you prove your ingredients are organic (of course). Why do you have stearic acid…our database says it’s a petroleum-derived ingredient (not always; in our case the stearic acid is completely plant-based). We appreciate it when people ask for more.
One wellness center recently took us to task for using a fragrance. We provided documentation that it was a completely natural green tea extract with other health benefits (including as an antioxidant). We made clear that not only was it of natural origin, it was extracted through natural processes. We noted that we chose it precisely because it had beneficial health effect and we included it at an extremely low level, in the event someone out there has a particular sensitivity to green tea. We pointed to our perfect score on hypoallergenicity testing.
There is one time it is gratifying to be given a hard time – when talking to the very stores we trust to carry safe, honest products.
