You will find on my shelves carefully selected products that I keep under constant review by attending seminars and shows, reading trade magazines and subscribing to company newsletters. I am always eager to investigate new regenerative ingredients and treatments—as long as they truly work.
Why so many cosmetic lines? In fact, I pick and choose within each line, because every brand has its strengths and weaknesses. I strive to get the best from across the spectrum of what’s available. Some of the lines I’ve chosen rely on aromatherapy for long-term efficacy. Others, on gentle fruit acid therapy. Others, on proven high-tech scientific breakthroughs. Some of the brands I currently carry are listed here.
The power lab with focus. From unmatched powerful combos of anti-oxidants (such as their revolutionary CE Ferulic serum) to the patented “invisible” micronized zinc oxide present in their fabulous sunscreens, SkinCeuticals keeps amazing me by its dedication to efficiency clear of hype.
The result of over 20 years of cosmeceutical lab development in France, SAMPAR skin-care products are a carefully researched mix of aromatherapy and nano-technology research.
Pioneers in aromatherapy and phytotherapy. YONKA has had an ongoing record of gentle care since 1954.
Expert since 1927, PAYOT keeps updating and upgrading its products via its own multidisciplined research center. Luxury and efficiency.
Osmosis. All natural, chirally-correct ingredients. My favorite serums for rosacea and acne therapy.
I am also proud to carry my very own private label line, developed in Southern California by a team of chemists working for over two years to combine state-of-the-art performance-proven ingredients in parabens-free, phthalates and sulfates-free formulations. These top notch products aim at counteracting chronic inflammation, such as the one caused by harsh cosmetics and drugs — the root of aging according to the latest research.
