Give Science A Chance

Science-Averse Columnist Shares The Sweet Beauty Story

I get a lot of questions about how my obsession with chocolate started, and how I combined it with a successful bath and body product line. In fact, shopping columnist Natalie Bow asked me that question earlier this year. She summarized what I told her in her column. Enjoy!

Red And Wonderful

A Pomegranate May Not Save My Life, But …

A few years back, National Georgraphic reported on a study that showed that pomegranate juice may help reduce the formation of fatty deposits on artery walls. I don’t know about that, but with my chocolate addiction, I figured it couldn’t hurt to surround myself with the delicious fruit they call Red Wonderful.

Not only do I eat them, I put the oil from them in some of my products, including the new Berry Pretty Facial Scrub, which I am now putting the finishing touches on.

A Little About Pomegranate Oil

The pomegranate is native to regions ranging from the Middle East to Northern India. It was cultivated and naturalized over the Mediterranean region since ancient times. Pomegranate oil improves elasticity of the skin, and is excellent oil for eczema, psoriasis and mature, sunburned or aging skin due to high lipid content.

Naturally pH balancing Pomegranate Seed Oil is readily absorbed quickly moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Pomegranate is also rich in polyphenols, therefore a strong anti-oxidant helping to reduce the signs of aging by fighting free radicals.

Pomegranate seed oil’s conjugated fatty acids help with inflammation also associated with pre-mature aging. Studies have shown that pomegranate oil is also effective at killing cancer cells when applied topically.

Beauty And Chocolate

Chocoholics Unite!

A very smart but apparently unknown person once said, “Forget love. I’d rather fall in chocolate.” I say “Ditto!’ Is anything more decadent? Who among us didn’t fight off a sibling for a chance to lick the bowl? I thought not, so I started a chocolate spa product company. When jars of chocolate sugar scrub started flying off the shelves and I didn’t have time to answer all the questions my customers were asking about the benefits of chocolate as a beauty aid, I decided to launch this blog.
