Iva's International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company

I shall never forget the support I had locally, nationally and internationally of people I knew and did not know to help me expand a company I founded, along with the support of my husband, Ermon, Sr, in our home while living in Stockton, California in February, 1985. As a result, Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetics is archived in the San Joaquin County Historical Society Museum in Lodi, California amongst other “women in business” of San Joaquin County. This is a legacy I leave behind to inspire others that “through God, all things are possible.”

I am introducing my Iva's International Skin Care and Cosmetic product line in the home of Ms. Rosie Torrence of Ashdown, Arkansas, my former hometown. The late Ms. Torrence was the high school secretary of LRCTS High School and my typing instructor. Thank you Ms. Torrence for helping me launch my company in my hometown where I was born and raised.

We just learned that the first person, Shirley Jackson, to become an Independent Distributor of Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company recently passed and her Home Going Celebration is tomorrow, October 10, 2020 in Ashdown, Arkansas. The “Shirley Silk Oil” is named after Shirley and still an exquisite oil that our customers and distributors enjoy.

Shirley, seen in the red hat of the picture below, came to Stockton, California for the grand opening of Iva’s international on February 22, 1985. After thirty-five (35) years of Iva’s International existence, we cannot think of a time that our hearts have been so saddened. We are grateful for Shirley’s services in helping to launch Iva’s International Skin Care Corporation, aka; Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company.

For a little over thirty-six (36) years, Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company was on the scene providing services to people of all backgrounds across our country and throughout many other places abroad. When the doors of Iva’s International closed in 2022, there were many hearts saddened because this was the end of a precious vehicle that touched many lives with beauty and financial succes. We miss Iva’s International!

Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetics lasted for thirty-six (36) years because of faithful independent distributors, our beloved customers and our commitment as the owners and founders. Still today, we get phone calls and text messages wanting our fantastic products. Regretfully, all good things do come to an end.

In December, 2021, we officially closed the Double Doors of Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company which was born out of Iva’s International Skin Care Corporation in February, 1985. Thousands of lives were touched in so many ways over this period of thirty-six (36) years. To everyone who was an employee, independent distributor, or, customer of our amazing universal line of products and fabulous business opportunity, THANK YOU! To those of you who worked as a hair stylist, manicurist, pedicurist, massage therapist and as a receptionist in the Iva’s Beauty Palace, THANK YOU! To those who worked as our martial arts instructors and Iva’s Charm School, THANK YOU! We will always remember each of you in a very special way. May God continue to bless you as you open up new doors and opportunities in your life. ♥️🌺

GREETINGS:
Iva’s International Skin Care & Cosmetics has weathered the storms and enjoyed the many good times over the years since February 2, 1985. We, the founder and owners are now making a new transition to transfer ownership of Iva’s International for the management and development of this amazing gift from God. We pray that it’s life span will continue to bless the lives of all independent distributors and customers, as it has done, so far.
