Nature knows. Your skin remembers.
This past week I met with a salon owner who reached out about carrying our products in her salon.
I went into the meeting fully prepared to talk about our Island line, curated gift sets, and some of the hair and scalp products we make, and all the other products that I would assume do well in a salon environment. To my surprise, she said:
“I love all of that stuff, but I’m more interested in selling Derma and some of your medicinal diffuser oils.”
I’m very rarely surprised these days, but I will admit this future retail partner surprised me. She went on to explain how Derma had helped her entire family. She said she already tells everyone about it, but now she has the opportunity to actually show them and hand them a jar.
It’s no secret that Derma is one of my most prized creations. But with that also comes the conviction that I cannot take all the credit. Derma’s medicinal components are found in nature, some of them right outside your front door. Through years of trial and error, I simply learned how to bring them together synergistically, allowing them to work symbiotically in aiding the skin to heal itself.
Derma is not a “cure all”. It does not go in and “zap” anything or cure anything. It calms the skin long enough to ease symptoms so nutrients can pe*****te through absorption and support the skin as it regenerates its own cells. Your entire body andnit’s organ systems already has the ability to do that. However, So often we fall short of giving the body the nutrients it both desires and needs to thrive and properly do its job.
For me, there is no worse feeling than going out to work on a project or into the garden and not having the tool you need. I think the skin feels the same way, and so do our organ systems when they are deprived of simple things like water, minerals, nourishment, rest, and proper support.
If you or a loved one struggles with skin inflammation of any kind, I have yet to personally encounter a condition that Derma did not help soothe or support in some way.
You can find Derma at most of our retail partners, or you can order directly here:
