dermalogica ®
dermalogica® was one of the first skin care companies to regard skin care as health care, rather than an expression of vanity. In keeping with dermalogica’s requirement, The Queen Bee offers professional consultation and treatments by licensed skin therapists. Clients are provided complementary Face Mapping, which analyzes the skin by zone and determines recommended treatment and products.
We can customize your professional treatments and home program to address a variety of conditions, including aging, acneic, pigmented and environmentally sensitized skin. Our service menu includes a wide range of options, from a quick MicroZone treatment on your lunch hour to a relaxing 90-minute Signature Royal Treatment with exfoliation and massage.
The International Dermal Institute is the birthplace of all dermalogica® products, which contain no alcohol, no lanolin, no artificial color or fragrance, and no mineral oil. Products are made in the USA, use renewable sources when possible, use recyclable/biodegradable packaging and are never tested on animals.
dermalogica® has a big lineup with lots of opportunity to get your home care regimen just right.
EPIONCE®
Epionce® is the beautiful brainchild of Dr. Carl Thornfeldt, a practicing clinical dermatologist and skin researcher with more than 25 years of experience in skin care. Epionce® recognizes the role of inflammation in many skin conditions, including the changes we see in “seasoned” skin. Our partner in promoting skin wellness, Epionce® formulas utilize a long list of botanicals to help block inflammatory factors and repair, fortify and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier. Its products are designed to regulate the skin’s natural reparative and protective systems, which is what skin fitness is all about.
We especially love Epionce’s rich, emollient moisturizers, and we think you will too. Epionce® is sold exclusively through medical ly supervised offices and spas.
NIA 24™
We would love NIA 24™ even if it weren’t born at the University of Arizona, Ellen’s alma mater (go Cats!)
NIA 24’s patented Pro-Niacin™ molecule is the result of 28 years of research into cellular DNA damage in the formation of cancer. The National Cancer Institute is so impressed, it has chosen the molecule for development as a possible skin care prevention agent. NIA 24™ products represent a natural approach to skin care that assist in the improvement of skin texture and tone, fine lines and wrinkles, and especially the hyperpigmentation (brown spots) that are the result of sun damage. Its niacin-powered skin therapy provides 24 hour prevention, repair and protection, and has been recognized by Self and O Magazines, The Skin Cancer Foundation, and the American Association of Dermatologists for its effectiveness.
Physician and rock star Dr. Mehmet Oz recently spoke to Oprah about the key role niacin plays in skin health and repair.
ZUM® BODY
Indigo Wild’s playful ZUM® product line caters to a niche many natural product companies overlook: “yuppies with hippie tendencies and stiletto-wearing, closet tree huggers.” Zum’s natural aromatherapy products are all handcrafted with love and reverence at their Midwest factory, using ingredients such as pure essential oils, shea butter, goat’s milk and, our personal favorite, beeswax. Just as important is what they don’t use: sodium laureth or lauryl, talc, petroleum by-products or any of the preservatives you’ll find in most of the products on the drugstore shelf. We love the way Zum® products feel and smell, and are happy to support a company whose employees break every day to eat lunch together and bring their dogs to work. That’s a corporate culture we’d like to see more of. What’s not to love?
colorescience® pro
We Bees are some tough customers. We wanted a mineral makeup line that would meet our standards: reasonably priced, environmentally aware, without harmful ingredients, with great coverage and a pleasant fragrance and feel. It took us two years to find it! Allow us to introduce you to colorescience® pro! The brainchild of Diane Ranger, who launched the first mineral makeup concept at Bare Escentuals®, colorescience® products are free of talc, mineral oil, harsh preservatives, alcohols, emulsifiers, dyes, and perfumes. Instead, proven high tech ingredients like peptides, pearl powder and hyaluronic and salicylic acids produce instant and long lasting results. Colorescience® truly does blend the line between colore and science. We first fell in love with their Sunforgettable® line…loose mineral sunscreens with SPF 30-50 coverage…so smart! We’ve since expanded our retail to include their beautiful primers, liquid and loose mineral foundations, lip and eye colores…and we love it all! We think you will too.
Clarisonic®
If we ever have to choose five things we can take to a desert island—we’re all bringing our Clarisonic® skin cleansing systems. Assuming there’s power on the desert island, of course. The brilliant inventor behind the sonic toothbrush brought the same technology to these nifty skin brushes that cleanse, smooth and refresh the skin with instant results. This supercharged cleanse removes twice as much surface dirt and six times as much makeup as manual cleansing! Just 60 seconds reduces oil, shrinks pores and enhances absorption of all those great ingredients in your skin care products. We use them in our treatment rooms and at home, and we’re believers. Brushes are waterproof, rechargeable and heads are interchangeable so the whole family can enjoy the benefits of speedy, effective Clarisonic® cleansing—what a smart investment in great skin, all the way around.
Nordic Naturals®
We’ve learned that many skin conditions have an inflammatory component: acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and even, according to recent scientific research, aging. Omega oils are getting a lot of attention for their beneficial effects in reducing inflammation, promoting proper immune function, and nourishing healthy skin and hair. We believe carefully selected omega oils can enhance your healthy skin care regimen at home. We chose Nordic Naturals® because they source with integrity, respect the environment, support with research, and surpass international standards. Nordic products are well known for their exceptional freshness and purity without that fishy repeat many clients have experienced with lesser quality fish oils. We offer a number of condition specific Nordic Natural blends, including a high quality oil for your four legged friend.
Love and Peace Notes
Local jewelry designer Devi Fournier knocked us out with her beautiful sterling silver affirmation lockets. First created for our sisters in cancer treatment, these lockets open to hold a hand written message of love and encouragement. They make lovely, thoughtful gifts to mark a special occasion for moms, sisters, daughters and friends. Each of four designs comes with a scroll of paper for your message and can be worn on a chain, beads or leather. Devi has since added handmade silk scarves with the Love and Peace design to her offerings, and donates a portion of profits to cancer research. We are happy to promote this talented local designer, our sisters, a worthy cause, and Love and Peace.
