HANDMADE BAR SOAPS<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
For more than a decade, I have wanted to include a comprehensive line of soaps to the Absolutely Natural family. Not just any soap but rather the highest quality, tallow free products each with unique features and benefits.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Have you ever gotten out of the shower and though you feel “clean”, your skin is taut and dry? Or, have you ever had that sticky feeling almost like a residue left on your body?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Welcome to the world of mass produced soaps. Most people don’t know, but the key ingredient in most mass produced soaps is tallow. Here is the definition of tallow from Wikipedia:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<em>Tallow is a </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(industrial)" style="color: #377367;"><em>rendered</em></a><em> </em><em>form of </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef" style="color: #377367;"><em>beef</em></a><em> </em><em>or </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutton" style="color: #377367;"><em>mutton</em></a><em> </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat" style="color: #377367;"><em>fat</em></a><em>, processed from </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suet" style="color: #377367;"><em>suet</em></a><em>. It is solid at </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature" style="color: #377367;"><em>room temperature</em></a><em>. Tallow can be stored for extended periods without the need for </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration" style="color: #377367;"><em>refrigeration</em></a><em> </em><em>to prevent </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition" style="color: #377367;"><em>decomposition</em></a><em>, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation" style="color: #377367;"><em>oxidation</em></a><em>.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<em>In industry, tallow is not strictly defined as beef or mutton fat. In this context, tallow is animal fat that conforms to certain technical criteria, including its </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point" style="color: #377367;"><em>melting point</em></a><em>. It is common for commercial tallow to contain fat derived from other animals, such as </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lard" style="color: #377367;"><em>lard</em></a><em> </em><em>from </em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_pig" style="color: #377367;"><em>pigs</em></a><em>. Common uses are in bath soaps and shaving soaps.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Hmmmm. I don’t think I want to use rendered animal fat in my shower and most people agree. In fact, it is one reason our shower gels are so popular …you get superior cleansing and skin hydration.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Our new soap line, of course, has no tallow. They are hand crafted in small batches and hand cut and wrapped before being shipped to you. All of our ingredients are natural and the very best quality.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">

Fairly recently, researchers have deemed that Kukui Nut Oil is good for your skin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Hmm, they are just almost a couple of centuries late to the party as ancient Polynesians landed in Hawaii more than 1600 years ago bringing Kukui Seeds to the islands.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Ancient Hawaiians used the oil to dye and waterproof their canoes and as a fuel to burn in lamps, while the tree was utilized as fuelwood, sap for tapa cloth, bark infusion for fishing nets and different parts of the tree for medicine, tattoo dye and animal fodder.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
The Kukui Tree is so important to the culture and history of the islands that today it is the official tree of Hawaii.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
A single tree can produce up to 200 pounds of nuts a year and the precious oil is derived by roasting those nuts and hard pressing the kernels. From that process you would get approximately 40 pounds of oil.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Absolutely Natural uses only wildcrafted Kukui oil. Wildcrafting is the practice of harvesting plants from their natural or “wild” habitat making it the purest, eco-friendly sources possible. The oil is pure as no artificial farming methods are ever used.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
The oil itself has a long history as well. In ancient Hawaii, babies were anointed with the oil as protection from sun, salt, wind and other elements. Royalty used the oil in their marathon massage sessions that lasted up to seven hours!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Kukui Nut Oil has antioxidant properties that helps prevent free radical cell damage. It is high in essential fatty acids, both Omega-6 (linoleic acid) and Omega-3 (linolenic acid. These important features makes it extremely hydrating andante-inflammatory as well.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Other benefit of Kukui Nut Oil:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 15px 30px 50px;">
<li>Penetrates deeply into the stratum corneum</li>
<li>Slows trans-epidermal water loss (excellent moisturizer)</li>
<li>Helps heal sunburn, chemical burns and radiation burns (hospitals in Hawaii use it on radiation patents)</li>
<li>Can help reduce acne</li>
<li>Plumps and firms the skin to diminish appearance of wrinkles</li>
<li>Excellent exfoliator, getting rid of dead skin cells and regenerating new ones</li>
<li>Can help reduce scarring when applied to abrasions</li>
</ul>

You can search long and hard and not find an oil that compares to Kukui for benefits to the skin. Ancient Hawaiians knew this hundreds of years ago!</div>

PLATINUM TANNING OIL<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
People still want to get tan. Most of us look better with a golden tan. Through the 40 plus years I have been involved in this industry, I have heard countless stories of people who say the feel better with a tan, have more confidence and are just generally happier.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
For almost 25 years with Absolutely Natural and with 44 years of experience, I have helped thousand and thousands of people get a golden, safe tan. There would be some that would argue that there is no such thing as a safe tan, but in my experience it is how you go about it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Let’s face it … despite being told to avoid the sun at all costs by many, sun exposure is still our best source of Vitamin D. And, a suntan is nature’s only natural defense against UV exposure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
We have developed over the years an excellent system to help get and maintain that perfect tan called the 3-P’s. Everyone, despite their skin type, has three needs with sun exposure. A protector (SPF) for sun sensitive areas anywhere the bone is close to the skin), a promoter (moderate SPF or a tanning oil) for the rest of your body and prolongers (our two aloe products for use at night.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
This blog is going to concentrate on our Absolutely Natural tanning oils to be used as promoters. It is paramount during sun exposure to keep your skin hydrated and our oils do a superb job of that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
We have two different oils we suggest for use in the sun, our ultra-rich Platinum Oil and our nut free Professional tanning oil. The Platinum Oil is a blend of nature’s finest nutrient oils each carefully selected for its benefits to the skin. These include Fractionated Coconut Oil, Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Squalane, Rose Hips Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Cherry Kernel, Macadamia Nut Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Camellia Oil, Green Tea, White Tea, Ginkgo Biloba, Tocopherol Acetate(Vitamin E) & Fragrance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
The result is an oil that keeps you hydrated and has anti-oxidant, anti-aging and free radical scavenging properties. This is a spa quality oil actually used by resorts all over the world as a massage oil, our Platinum Oil is the ultimate in luxury.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
For those of our customers who have a nut allergy, we have put together a plant based tanning oil both safe and effective. Sunflower Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Passionflower Extract, Rose Hips Oil, Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) & Fragrance keeps skin hydrated and provides nutrients such as a high quality Vitamin C found in Rose Hips Oil.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Both oils are as friendly and beneficial to the skin as they are to the environment. Since they are natural with no silicones, petro-chemicals, mineral oils, lanolin or other cheap fillers, there is no adverse effect on our precious coral reef.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
I’m often asked if our more expensive Platinum Oil will give you a darker tan than our Pro Oil and the answer is an emphatic, No! Both will assist you with obtaining that deep, dark tan but the difference is in the nutrient benefit to your skin. After 24 years, we have a good handle on how our product sells and the Platinum Oil is the winner by a 20-1 margin!</div>

Always remember to use a sunscreen on sun sensitive areas and the aloes at night. You can expect a long lasting tan and healthy, vibrant skin.</div>

There are exciting new changes coming to Absolutely Natural products with particular attention to our labels.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
In an attempt to make cosmetic labels consistent worldwide, the Personal Care Product Council has been lobbying for INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) names to be a requirement on labels for personal care, body care, skin care and spa products. It is already a law that suncare ingredients have to be labeled with INCI names.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
What is an INCI name? This is an explanation from the council: <em>The International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, abbreviated <strong>INCI</strong>, is a system of <strong>names</strong> for waxes, oils, pigments, chemicals, and other ingredients of soaps, cosmetics, and the like, based on scientific <strong>names</strong> and other Latin and English words.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Personally, I don’t like the INCI names. I don’t think they give the average consumer any better understanding of what is in a product; on the contrary, with scientific names and Latin derivations, I believe it causes confusion.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
For example:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 15px 30px 50px;">
<li>Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is the INCI name for Vitamin C</li>
<li>Butyrospermum Parkii Butter is the INCI name for Shea Butter</li>
<li>Persea Gratissima oil is the INCI name Avocado Oil</li>
<li>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the INCI name for fractionated Coconut Oil</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
But we will comply, of course, and are now making the necessary changes to INCI names on our labels.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
There has also been a great ongoing debate about what is “100% natural.” The Food and Drug Administration hasn’t been able to define it. Absolutely Natural has always purchased natural raw materials with the best grades available. Our formulas are based from natural ingredients and produce better results than the typical chemical-based formulas. We have eliminated harmful chemicals such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates as well as cheap fillers such as mineral oil and lanolin. Our slogan is “Healthy Skin, Healthy Lifestyles” and we truly believe our products promote that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
However, without a concrete definition some are now questioning what really is natural in the industry. For example, some ingredients such as Benzyl Alcohol can be found in many plants and fruits, but can also be synthetically made. Additionally, some raw, natural materials such as aloe may have a small amount of a natural preservative in it to extend its effectiveness and reduce spoilage, but the origin of that preservative is most likely not offered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
There are also ingredients like oils and extracts which can be extracted naturally or chemically, with extraction processes not always described. With many raw ingredients, the provenance is difficult, if not impossible, to trace. If at any time, there was a method used in planting, harvesting, extracting or processing that may be questioned as truly natural, then that might cast aspersions as to whether the finished product is natural. I know it sounds a bit ambiguous but that is the state of the industry right now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
Taking all this into consideration, one of the changes that will take place will start with labels. We have made the decision to eliminate our “100% natural” claim on the labels. Our confidence remains 100% behind the safety and efficacy of our products. This is always our first priority.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
You can also expect exciting new changes coming to Absolutely Natural products. There are more and better choices with natural raw materials than there were 24 years ago. We are constantly researching for better ingredients and upgrading our formulas to strive for the best products to provide to our customers. We are also continuing to work on finding more organic, renewable and sustainable ingredients out of our respect for the environment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
We are currently working with some new materials and products such as exotic butters and oils, clay masks and hair repair products.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
The bottom line is that we have tens of thousands of extremely satisfied customers, some of whom that have been with us since 1992! And, just as they have trusted us for 24 years, we pledge to continue to make no compromises in our never ending search for superior products.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #111111;">There are
benefits to scrubs and other products that exfoliate in the ‘normal’ way, also
known as physical or manual exfoliators. They can help remove dirt and dead
skin from the surface of your skin. However, most scrubs use micro beads,
which are tiny balls of plastic. They can take years to biodegrade which is bad
for our environment and are not as effective as Absolutely Natural’s natural
alternatives. </span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white; color: #191919;">Exfoliation
is essential for healthy and younger-looking skin. Why? During our day to day
lives, dead skin cells build up on the surface of our faces. If we neglect to
clean our skin well, old makeup, dirt, and oil can also join the mix. This
causes pores to become clogged and the condition of the skin to worsen over
time. The best way to get rid of this build-up is to <span style="font-family: inherit;">exfoliate <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">exfoliate</span>.</span></span></span></div>

Bamboo is comprised of solidified organic silica extracted from the nodes of

skin can get absorbed into the blood stream, the percentage is higher for
chemical fragrances. On average, 80% of fragrance formulations are comprised of
these chemicals and in some cases, 100% of a formula can be synthetic. 95% of
the chemicals in most commercial fragrances are synthetic compounds derived
from petroleum and natural gas, known as petrochemicals.</span></div>

permitted by the FDA to withhold fragrance ingredients, so consumers can’t rely
on labels to know what hazards may lurk inside their bottle of perfume. That
gives companies the freedom to load some fragrances with secret chemicals,
sensitizers, potential hormone disruptors and chemicals not assessed for
safety. Some of the most talked about ingredients of concern in fragrances are:</span></div>

That can result in cracked, peeling lips that lack hydration.</div><div>Dangers of dehydration: Lips do not have the oil glands needed to produce naturally hydrating oils. Also, skin on the lips is only about 1/3 as thick as the skin on the rest of your face. This makes it susceptible to dehydration.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition, lips have no sweat glands and without the protective layer of sweat and oil like rest of our body, lips dry out and become chapped. And, dehydrated lips can become old, thin and pinched. </div><div><br></div><div>“Chronic dehydration makes fine lines appear around the vermillion border,” says Pearl Dworkin, an esthetician and nutritionist. This not only doesn’t look good, but it doesn’t feel great, either. The lips are the most vulnerable part of our face since they are the thinnest skin and have no oil glands or melanin. If someone is prone to fever blisters/cold sores when their lips are not healthy this can trigger an outbreak and can lead to infection which can take 1 to 2 weeks to heal and can even leave a scar.”</div><div><br></div><div>There is hope, however. Absolutely Natural has developed a lip moist that is super hydrating and will help keep lips properly moisturized. The lip moist are a wonderful combination of organic butters including Soy, Mango, Cranberry and Pomegranate. These are carefully blended with Green Tea and Vitamin E for extra nutrients and anti-oxidants. The result is a smooth, comfortable butter that goes on easily and feels great on the lips.</div><div><br></div><div>There are several choices including Vanilla, Mango, Strawberry, Mint and Papaya/Pineapple. The product comes in a handy 10ml jar that fits easily in pockets and purses.</div><div><br></div><div>We’re sure you will enjoy it and it will do wonders for your lips.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div>Charley </div><div><br></div>Todd Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07530129882230348167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365682562622412854.post-2834466870969891692015-08-25T19:07:00.002-07:002016-10-26T05:55:14.090-07:00Thank you for making 2015 our busiest and best summer yet!We are most grateful that our Absolutely Natural line continues to grow each year as more and more wonderful people discover our all-natural formulas!

Greater exposure outdoors means more sweating, more UV exposure, and more dirt.
It often means more showers and/or baths, and that translates into potential
skin problems. Using <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a traditional
tallow based soap or chemical laden shampoos, conditioners and body washes; you
have a greater chance of stripping the natural oils out of your hair and skin,
and sucking the moisture from the epidermis and scalp.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
The result? Dry, itchy skin. Flaky scalp; brittle hair. Exactly opposite of
what you could achieve by making one simple switch to Absolutely Natural.</span></div>

First, the other guys. Tallow based soaps (see below) use animal renderings as
their base,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>leaving skin dry and often feeling
as if there is a film on you after your shower. Traditional shampoos, and body
washes are mostly water with very nasty chemicals like parabens, sulfates and
phthalates. All of those ingredients have been linked to problems including
increased estrogen content, free radical generators and some cancer causing
materials. And, they possess few, if any, nutrients. </span></div>

Now, Absolutely Natural. No sulfates, parabens or phthalates. Nutrient rich
formulas that do a great job cleaning hair and skin. With our Shampoos,
Conditioners and Body Washes, you can step out of the shower with hydrated skin
and hair. Healthy, vibrant and alive.</span></div>

Absolutely Natural products, chock full of anti-oxidants, boast free radical
scavengers and are infused with nutrients designed for anti-aging.. In
addition, all of our products have super moisturizers, which are vital for
summertime when UV exposure is at its greatest strength. </span></div>

A quick perusal of “us vs. them” labels proves it all. You really don’t need to
go much past the first ingredient … water for them; aloe for us. The rest of
the ingredient decks are just as polar opposite … chemicals and cheap fillers
for them; vitamins, nutrients and cosmetic grade raw materials for us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Summer spotlight: Our famous Organic Oil! Excellent for your hair as a deep
conditioner (leave in 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing out) or as a leave in for
dry ends (wet fingertips with oil and “brush” onto hair). Also excellent as a
bath oil and of course, as a massage or body oil.<br />
Enjoy summer’s bounties! Just don’t forget to take a little more time to tend
to your hair and skin. Not only will you look better immediately, but with
Absolutely Natural, you are preventing future damage and even repairing skin
damage that has already happened.</span></div>

Absolutely Natural is dedicated to making high quality products that are gentle on you and the environment. All of our products are 100% natural, never tested on animals, biodegradable, reef-friendly and we use recyclable materials whenever possible.

<br />
1) Plant a tree<br />
2) Set up a family recycle plan<br />
3) Volunteer at a local park<br />
4) Buy vegetables locally from farms <br />
5) Use recycled materials to build a bird feeder<br />
6) Hold a garage sale, donate or reuse household items<br />
7) Buy or make earth friendly cleaning products<br />
8) Ride your bike or walk instead of driving<br />
9) Clean up litter at local beaches or parks<br />
10) Grow your own vegetable garden<br />
<br />

This particular DIY mask
will gently exfoliate your skin and give it that extra boost of Vitamin C
that it needs. What a great way to start off your week!<br /> <br /> Here is the recipe:<br /> <br /><span class="text_exposed_show"> Step 1: Combine 3 tbsp plain yogurt and 3 tbsp honey in a bowl and mix well. <br /> <br /> Step 2: Mash up 1/2 cup mixed blackberries, blueberries and strawberries.<br /> <br /> Step 3: Combine yogurt mixture with berries.<br /> <br /> Step 4: Lay yogurt mixture on face and neck.

Belly up to the bar! Pop the champagne cork! This month
Absolutely Natural turns 21. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, maybe our corporate 21<sup>st</sup> birthday is not as
significant as the big day for individuals but of course, we are proud of our
longevity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We sold our first bottles of suncare in Hilton Head, South
Carolina and Maui and that was the start of this wonderful journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve gone from having seven different
products to more than 250 and we are now sold in more than 300 resorts worldwide.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our 400 square foot garage that was our home in 1992 has
been replaced by nearly 35,000 square feet of offices, warehouse and production
in Melbourne, Florida.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Absolutely
Natural now employs 30 in Florida and Hawaii and is supported by hundreds of
skin care consultants in the resorts and spas where we are featured.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most importantly we have touched the lives of hundreds of
thousands of people over the last 21 years and the favorite part of my job is reading
the testimonials about the amazing results people get from our products.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here’s a big thanks to all of our vendors, employees,
support personnel, sales consultants and especially our customers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

way through March already; the first quarter is nearly done and we just turned
the clocks ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How does the time go
by so quickly?</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last year
was another banner year for Absolutely Natural highlighted by the celebration
of our 20<sup>th</sup> year in business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>2013 is shaping up to be exciting as well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We have an
ambitious schedule planned with several new products slated to be unveiled this
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our long awaited Skin Repair Serum
and time released Vitamin C Eye Serum will be out in mid-April.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Skin Repair serum has the ultimate
blend of organic, age defying anti-oxidants to help reduce fine lines and
wrinkles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also helps even skin
tones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The serum contains a natural
hyaluronic acid as well as Green Tea, a powerful polyphenol, which can help
repair skin already damaged by the sun and other environmental factors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Formulated for use on the face, neck and
décolletage areas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Our highly
tested Vitamin C serum features a time release pure Vitamin C that can reduce
crow’s feet, wrinkles around the eyes, puffiness under the eyes and helps
alleviate dark circles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can
immediately feel the effects in one application with 40-80% improvement common
among our test subjects over several weeks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Also imminent
for launch is our new Eucalyptus Mint hand soap that will be packaged in a
“foaming bottle”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This highly effective
cleanser is gentle on the skin with a fresh, bold scent.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">By the end
of May our men’s line will be out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Included in the kit will be a head-to-toe body wash (sulfate free, of
course), an outstanding shave crème and an after shave splash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All products contain super hydrators to help
keep skin supple and young looking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
test subjects raved about the shave crème and “the best shave ever” was often
seen in the reports!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All these AN
products feature a unique and refreshing bamboo rainforest fragrance. </span></div>

</xml><![endif]-->For those of you who are regular readings of my blogs, you
have heard Suzanne Clements mentioned many, many time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those of you not familiar with her work,
Suzanne is the incredibly talented owner of Suzanne Clements Graphic Design,
LLC .<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
To Absolutely Natural, she is a member of our family and has
touched pretty much every project we have done for the last five or six
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trained as a fine artist, Suzanne
is also adept at copy writing, collateral design, photography, web site and
e-commerce marketing and much more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
has revamped our entire look from stationery to web design to packaging
including all of our brochures, labels, catalogues, posters and more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last night I felt like I was with a celebrity as Suzanne and
I attended the ADDY Awards at the Rialto Hilton in Melbourne, Florida.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ADDY Awards are the advertising
industry’s competition designed to “acknowledge creative excellence in all
media of local, regional and national advertising.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Suzanne got a lot of acknowledgement as she
won seven of the awards including five for projects she did for our companies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fact, the first four awards of the evenings went to
Suzanne which had the crowd buzzing and me all smiles!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is gratifying to see her recognized for
her work and even more so when you consider her competition were ad agencies
with very large staffs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her Gold ADDYs were awarded for the Salt Life Skincare
campaign (Salt Life is our licensee program) and two for digitally enhanced
photos she took for another client and her own studios.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suzanne won Silver ADDYs for Absolutely Natural Marketing
Materials (our wholesale one sheets), Salt Life Skincare Sales Kits, our
Absolutely Natural Travel Size Pillow box, our Maui Island Secret Web Site
(which she totally revamped last year), and our Absolutely Natural Ingredient
Deck (added to our web site).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Working with Suzanne was Curtis Canham on some of the print
materials and Mark Kuhn on the web based projects.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Congratulations, Suzanne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are proud of you and look forward to more great things in the years
to come.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best regards,</div>

Here's the feedback we are getting from customers and

stylistic, orange tubes and they really appreciate the bigger sizes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, in our first major reformulation in 20
years, we are hearing positive comments on the new SPF 4, 8, 15 and 30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The base has additional anti-oxidants, free
radical scavengers and anti-aging ingredients (see our earlier blogs detailing
the changes). The addition of Zinc to the Titanium for sunscreens means the
product is less white going on the skin.</div>

that includes our famous Rosehip Aloe, Pure Aloe, SPF 8 and our Platinum
Tanning Oil. Yes, I said our Platinum Tanning Oil! This kit comes in a
convenient clear vinyl pack that is air travel safe and it’s the perfect
combination to keep that long lasting tan during and after your vacation. Bring
your tan with you where ever you go!</div>

Next ABNAT for Outstanding Tweak to Awesome Products is a
tie!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The world famous and best seller
Rosehip Aloe and our Pure Aloe with Tea Tree both share the award.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Rosehip has an improved base oil that has
been upgraded from Walnut to Fractionated Coconut plus the addition of the age
defying wonder ingredient, Green Tea Extract.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The result is a closer affinity to the natural oils of your skin plus
the phytophenols that
can help improve skin that is already damaged by the sun, environmental
pollutants, other environmental elements and aging.</div>

The Pure Aloe has Green Tea Extract added to the amazing

disorders.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On occasion I’m asked if it really is worth the extra expense, time and effort it takes to make our all-natural products. Especially when we could easily cut corners, save money and pump out product faster if we went the synthetic/chemical route. There is so much value in what we do, value in not only in the careful craftsmanship and hand-selected all-natural ingredients, but even more important, value in our customer’s experience.</span><br />

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Nothing makes my job more rewarding than stories from our fans. They’re a valued reminder that the way we do things is the right way. It warms my heart to read your testimonials and it’s even better when I am able to meet people face-to-face and hear their stories. Our own Todd Anderson suffered from severe Atopic Dermatitis and was on heavy doses of steroids with little improvement before he started using our complete line of products (see Todd’s story in our past blogs). </div>

Recently, Sherrie shared her experience with us and it is no surprise to me that our products did help her. For more than 15 years we have been providing products to Emerson hospital in Boston who use them on their radiation patients. Our natural alternatives to harsh chemicals work. But Sherrie says it better than I ever could:</div>

<i>Dear Absolutely Natural,</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br /></i><i>I have been using your lotions and body oils for several years and have been very pleased with them. Recently, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo radiation therapy. I had to have 33 treatments and they told me that after the first 10-15 treatments I would start experiencing skin damage similar to a very severe sunburn. </i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br /></i><i>The doctor gave me a couple of different radiation lotions to try and told me to use them and decide which one worked the best for me. After looking at them, I decided to start with the Absolutely Natural Restorative Body lotion, and supplemented it with the Organic Beauty Oil a few times a week. I figured if the symptoms got too bad I could switch to one of the radiation lotions at that point.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br /></i><i>After a couple of weeks in my skin was still looking really good and my doctor asked me which type of lotion I had chosen. I told him about Absolutely Natural and he said that it was working great and to stick with it! By the end of treatment, my skin was fairly red and irritated, I have been finished about a week now and all of the redness has turned to tan! I have believed that Absolutely Natural was a good product for several years, but now I am convinced that it is a great product!! </i> </blockquote>

Thanks Sherrie for making the effort to reach out and share your story with us. I means so much to my team and I to hear it. </div>

<br />
At first glance it seems like one of those insanely easy and stupid questions like "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb" or "what country did the Panama Hat originate in?"<br />
<br />
I've asked the following question over the last 30 years hundreds of times to groups large and small. The question is, <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"Does anyone in this group know how to apply sun care products?"</span> The reaction is usually one of amusement and frequently is accompanied by snickers and guffaws. I have even heard a few "Duhs" headed my way.<br />
<br />
When I ask for a volunteer to demonstrate, they almost inevitably say, <span style="font-style: italic;">"Well, you take it out of the bottle and rub it into your skin."</span><br />
<br />
The demonstration by the volunteer usually includes a vigorous rubbing motion, almost as though he or she were racing to see how quickly they could get the lotion into the skin.<br />
<br />
I smile my little knowing smile that I am going to be vindicated after the snickers, guffaws and duh's and forcefully say (yell if the crowd is big), <span style="font-style: italic;">"Thank you and that is exactly <span style="font-weight: bold;">WRONG</span>!!!"</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The fact is that most people don't know how to apply sun care and other lotions and what they don't know can hurt them in the form of a bad sunburn. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />A Brief Lesson in Anatomy:</span><br />
The top layer of your skin is called the epidermis and it is only about as thick as a sheet of paper. If you rub your sun care too quickly into the skin, it can penetrate into the dermis and leave you with a lot less protection than you think you have. We have dozens of our guests at our resorts around the world come to us daily and lament that they thought they were adequately protected but still got sun burnt. Incorrect application is one of the culprits.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How to Apply Correctly:</span><br />
Instead of rubbing product quickly into the skin proper application involves "dabbing" and "laying" .... My ultra scientific terms! You see, different areas of your body are affected differently when exposed to UV. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">When to "Dab"</span><br />
In simple terms, anywhere the skin is close to the bone it is sun sensitive and you should "dab" a maximum sunscreen on those areas ... Nose, cheeks, décolletage for women, feet, bald heads etc. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">When to "Lay"</span><br />
The rest of your body is not as sensitive and you can "lay" a moderate sunscreen. Just take the product and smooth over the skin; you don't have to apply thickly. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Then wait 60 seconds</span> before massaging the product the rest of the way into the skin. That way you have the full benefit of the SPF without rubbing away your protection.<br />
<br />
This just isn't my personal theory, as a recent study in Australia proved, what I have been preaching for years is the real deal. 100 people were asked to apply an SPF 15 on their arms and an immediate spectrograph reading was taken after application. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The average SPF left rated at an SPF 3</span>! More than 30 people registered no SPF and the main reason for this phenomenal fact was improper application.<br />
<br />
So, our products work great but only when you properly apply. Now you know!<br />
<br />
Best regards<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">With Absolutely Natural now 20 years old, you won’t
see “New and Approved” on our bottles, but that is exactly what we have
accomplished after working with the formulas with this in mind for the last
five years.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">And, new isn’t exactly the right word since we will
never go away from our bases made from natural ingredients, cosmetic quality,
nutrient rich and unique formulas.
Enhanced is the right word.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">We have made many enhancements including a complete
reformulation of our sunscreens complete with modern, efficient packaging for
our sunscreens.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The run down:</span></span></div>

Aloe</span></i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Rosehip Aloe lotion remains in the same bottle but
with a fresh, new label that better represents our brand across all lines of
products. In addition, we have upgraded
the base oil from Walnut to Hi-Oleic Safflower Oil. Among many other positive traits, Safflower
Oil is extremely high in Vitamin E and therefore a super anti-oxidant and free radical
scavenger. Safflower Oil is also high in
Omega 3 and Omega 6.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Other ingredient changes include using Organic Rose
Hips Oil and adding Green Tea, a powerful anti-oxidant that has been proven to
help rejuvenate skin already damaged by UV and other elemental damages. This is an important enhancement. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Pure Aloe with Tea Tree Oil is also in the same
bottle with the fresh label. And, it
remains pure as there just wasn’t much to do with this product as it works so
well with sunburn, skin rashes, jellyfish stings, shaving irritation and other
skin problems. We have been especially
proud of our 15 year history with Emerson Hospital in Boston where they use
Absolutely Natural Pure Aloe on their radiation patients. One enhancement that will be impactful is the
addition of Green Tea to the formula mix.
Green Tea is a powerful anti-oxidant and skin repair.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Our tanning oils are in the same bottles with our
new look labels and the Pro Oil has no ingredient changes. It remains a nut free formula, modestly
priced for those who want that golden tan.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Platinum Oil has had some significant enhancements
especially the base oil going from Walnut to Fractionated Coconut. This highly refined oil has virtually no
propensity to become rancid and helps with shelf life for the tanning product. In addition, Fractionated Coconut Oil has
close affinity to the body’s natural oils and is nutrient rich for healthy
skin. It is one of nature’s best moisturizers
to keep your skin hydrated in the sun. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">In addition, we have upgraded to Organic Rose Hips
Oil and Organic Sunflower Seed Oil. We
have also added Cherry Kernel Oil, Jojoba Oil, Carrot Seed Oil Extracts of
Green & White Tea and Gingko Biloba, all carefully selected for their nutrient
and therapeutic values. We have done all
of this and maintained the same retail price point we have had for 20 years. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The biggest changes come in our completely
reformulated sunscreens. The FDA has
finally adopted their monograph and unlike most sun care competitors, we
welcome the regulations. Of course, we
have been in compliance for our entire existence but since we had to change the
way our labels read (INCI names are now required and a very strict Drug Fact
label is the law), we too this opportunity to change a lot.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Of course, we are still 100% natural but instead of
using 100% Titanium Dioxide for our sunscreen, we are using a blend of Titanium
and Zinc. This gives us more water
resistance and of course, measurable protection against UVA light as well as
UVB.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The base has been enhanced quite a bit and features
anti-oxidants, free radical scavengers and nutrient rich oils.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The result? A natural,
sunscreen, gentle on the skin and friendly to the environment but a powerhouse of
moisturizers and healthy benefits to the skin. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">To go along with these
significant improvements is a modest price increase and I am proud to say just
our second one in 20 years. Considering
the sizes of our higher sunscreens are increasing from 4oz to 6oz and the new
packaging is an easy to use squeeze tube, I am sure you will find the new
pricing reasonable. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there
is good news in the fight against breast cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Survival rates are up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are longer in term.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Quality of life measurements are way up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the research and attention this cruel
disease gets is helping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A lot.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is also bad news.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A quarter million women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer
in 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More than 40,000 will die.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think of 8 women in your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mothers, daughters, sisters, teachers,
friends, wives, co-workers … one of them will get breast cancer in her
lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That hits home too many times
and more research is needed to reduce that rate and to increase the number of
survivors of this disease which now number 2.6 million in the U.S.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That requires funding and that’s where Absolutely Natural is
stepping up to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are adding to
our widely popular Spa Series with a Cherry Blossom lotion with special pink
decoration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oriental and sensual, our
new lotion captures the delicate essence of Japanese Cherry Blossoms with warm
base notes of vanilla and oriental woods; this essence is both warm and exotic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lotion itself is awesome with Organic aloe, Shea butter
and Mango butter to help heal skin while leaving it smooth and silky. Super
anti-oxidants such as Irish Moss (Red Algae Extract-Carrageen), Vitamin D
Complex and Organic Green Tea keep skin healthy and are 500 times more potent
than Vitamin D alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other nutrient rich raw materials such as Olive Leaf
Extract, African Red Bush and Ginkgo Biloba are carefully selected to make this
Restorative Body Lotion incredibly effective for daily use.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our company will also donate 5% of proceeds to an
organization dedicated to Breast Cancer prevention and treatment and one that
distributes a majority of their revenues to research for finding a cure for the
cause. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And, we’re not just going to do it for October.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be an ongoing project and with the
help of our 10’s of thousands of customers, we hope to contribute a significant
amount of money to this worthy cause.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best regards</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Brevard Zoo’s mission is “Wildlife Conservation through Education
and Participation” and it fulfills this through hands-on conservation projects
run by Brevard Zoo, as well as educating Zoo guests and school groups and supporting
other organizations’ research and conservation efforts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through its Quarters for Conservation program, Brevard Zoo has
supported oyster reef and shoreline restoration, sea turtle research and
conservation, Northern Right Whale monitoring, a monofilament recycling program,
dolphin and manatee research and conservation and coral reef restoration. In
2011, Brevard Zoo’s Quarters for Conservation Program raised over $24,000 to
support marine research and conservation projects!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Brevard Zoo also has some of its own hands-on, community-based
conservation projects including oyster reef restoration and shoreline
restoration along the Indian River Lagoon. The
Indian River Lagoon is the most biologically diverse estuary in North America
with over 4,300 plant and animal species considering it home!<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Oyster Reef
Restoration Project</u></b><u><o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Oyster Reef
Restoration Project was started in 2005 by Dr. Linda Walters of the University
of Central Florida and now includes Brevard Zoo and The Nature Conservancy as
partners. The oyster mats—constructed from mesh and oyster shells—are placed in
the Indian River Lagoon to provide a natural substrate for oyster larvae to
settle. Results show that the oyster mat restoration technique is very
successful - after one year in the water, an average of 79 new oysters settled
on each mat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why oysters?
Oysters are filter feeders that improve water quality and clarity by
filtering–one oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day! Oysters are
also a food source and provide habitat for many species of fish, birds, and invertebrates,
and oyster reefs stabilize and protect shorelines. But, oysters face a number
of threats including overharvesting, habitat degradation, reduced water
quality, disease, and boat wakes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks to
approximately 25,000 volunteers since the project started, together with the
project partners, more than 28,000 oyster restoration mats have been constructed
to restore 50 reefs in Mosquito Lagoon. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The sins of my
youth … are finally catching up with me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No, not those
kinds of sins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never went through a
wild child phase (more like slight mischief at the most), but the “sin” of
ignorance. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I grew up in a generation
that knew little about the dangers of the sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was one of those that assumed you “had to burn, before you could tan”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did nothing to protect my skin in my early
years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Then as a
teenager and young adult, I was introduced to the beaches and worked 12 hour
days selling suntan lotion to tourists in Daytona Beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I learned a little bit about sun protection
and a little bit more about using aloe at night to help heal the skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I still didn’t know enough.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I really believe
my education wasn’t complete until 20 years ago when I started Absolutely
Natural.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was through exhaustive
research searching for the best, all natural sun protection, tanning products
and after sun aloes, that I really learned about how to protect yourself in the
sun; how to enjoy the outdoors and still be responsible; how to get and keep a
healthy, safe tan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I was diagnosed
with melanoma skin cancer last week and tomorrow am going in for surgery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, the great news is that it was caught
early and the surgery is outpatient and the chances of it being life
threatening are very slim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The reason for
this blog is twofold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One, I beg you to
use proper products in the sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of
course, our sunscreens offer the best protection and are the safest to use but
even if you don’t buy ours, make sure you use a physical sunscreen (titanium
and/or zinc) and make sure you steer clear of the very high SPF values that
chemical sunscreen companies are promoting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Second, please,
please, please visit a dermatologist and get regular check- ups for skin
cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doing a self-check is valuable
but the only way to be 100% sure, is to let a professional exam you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A synopsis of the three types of skin cancer
follows:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Three Kinds of Cancer:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">The two most common forms are basal cell
carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. They are referred to as nonmelanoma skin
cancer. The most dangerous form is melanoma that tends to metastasize
throughout the body and can cause death. There are almost 70,000 new cases of
melanoma every year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Basal cell accounts for 90% of new skin cancers
and usually begins as a small dome shaped bump. They can appear very dark and
are usually irregular shaped. Squamous begins in the squamous cells which are
flat, scale-like cells that form the surface of the skin, the hollow organs of
the body and the respiratory and digestive tracts. So, squamous can form in any
of these tissues. It most frequently appears on the skin as rough, red bumps on
the scalp, face, ears and backs of the hands. It can take 10 years for the
cancer to invade deeply into the skin and become fully developed squamous cell
carcinoma.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The risks for developing any of these cancers
include age, UV exposure in tanning beds, therapeutic radiation and most prominently
exposure to the sun.</span></span></div>

year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Caught early, as mine was, it
usually poses little risk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let it go too
long and you can, unfortunately, be one of the statistics.</span></div>

It’s something we enjoy and we welcome anyone who wants to see our facility.<br />
<br />
And this week we had a very special visitor, Michele Smith, world renowned softball player and television announcer for women’s softball. Michele is a two time gold medalist in the Olympic Games first in Atlanta in 1996 and again in Sydney in 2000. What an honor it was to have an Olympian in our building and as a huge fan of women’s softball, I have to admit to being a bit awestruck.<br />
<br />
On a side note, those of you who know me well know of my athletic past and most notably 19 years of amateur wrestling through college and beyond. You might be a bit surprised that my favorite team event to watch is not the Super Bowl, World Series or NBA, but rather collegiate softball. The skill level is amazing but what impresses me is the purity of the sport. There is tough competition but also an esprit de corps non parallel in sports today as well as an enthusiasm seldom seen in any aspect of life. If you haven’t watched the College World Series, give it a chance next year.<br />
<br />
Back to Michele. Her resume is too long to list in this blog highlighted by the Olympics and All American status during her collegiate days at Oklahoma State University. She relaxes now by training for triathlons and 60 mile bike rides are no big deal for her.<br />
<br />
So, it was thrilling to spend some time with her, and I want all of our good friends and customers from the last 20 years to put Sunday, August 19th on your calendars. That afternoon, Michele is making history again as she will become the first woman to call a Major League baseball game. She will be on the microphone when the Los Angeles Dodgers meet the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta. The game is being televised on TNT and game time is 1:35 pm.<br />
<br />
Good luck to you Michele.<br />
<br />
Best regards<br />
