Green technology and skin care rank at the top of SEO charts thanks to babyboomers

MAYORS IN SUPPORT OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Green technology, green products and skin care

are amongst the most searched words on the net

The Internet is taking over. Almost every real-world activity has an online or virtual-world parallel. “What do people want?” can also be translated into “What are people looking for online?” or “What are the most searched words on the net?”

To discover what people are looking for online, I went online of course. My search revealed that the Internet truly parallels the real world – people online are looking for similar things as those offline.

What are these things? As a website collecting keyword search statistics suggests through listings for the previous few weeks, “myspace,” “games/play,” “youtube,” and “girls” are the most searched words on the net.

The above keywords seem quite representative of what people offline are looking for, too. I believe this because:

Myspace:

A social networking site, where people share their profile information to find friends with similar tastes and interests. Future communications and interactions then happen through the site or offline. Isn’t this a direct parallel to local gatherings, coffee shops, school – where like-minded individuals form acquaintances and, later, friendships?

Games/play:

Given the apparent decline in physical activity and sports nowadays, it’s hardly surprising that thought of fun-filled activities pervades popular imagination. Losing oneself in or involving one’s hands, mind, and attention in fun-filled and mind-relieving activities has always been an instinctive need.

Youtube:

Here people share videos of various kinds. The content is “owned” by people. In a sense, this parallels the classroom, the theatre, the storytelling gathering – where people inform, entertain, and cherish memories by sharing their experiences.

Girls / boys:

Need one say anything? Grins and jokes apart, this seems the least analogous to real-world human experience. In my opinion, people who spend a lot of time online (and correspondingly less time with friends, family, etc.) tend to feel emotionally isolated, and end up looking for substitutes for emotional

Skincare:

Mostly organic, all natural and clean like Pomega5, the all natural line based on Omega 5 oil.

A search engine's chief role is to find keywords that are relevant to searches made by Internet surfers. The criteria set to determine how relevant these keywords are differs from search engine to search engine and the dynamic of these criterion is also constantly changing due to the nature of technology and the web. There are some keywords that have developed great popularity amongst searchers and can be considered the most searched keywords on the net or within a specific topic or subject matter.

The general rule-of-thumb for a keyword to be deemed relevant is that it should appear in a few locations on your web pages and in a certain percentage of repetitions throughout the page. These areas should include the body of your text, the page title and the meta tags. As we've mentioned before, these are just general and not fixed rules.

A fabulous keyword

Finding out which are the most searched keywords can be tedious if you embark on this task manually. It is important to know what people are commonly searching for as this gives you an indication of the kind of words you should be using in your Internet marketing and advertising campaigns. Fortunately, there are many very useful tools that can help ease your load in this quest for the most searched keywords.

Some tools may allow you to enter a keyword or phrase after which they will give you a detailed account on how many times that particular word or phrase was searched for in the previous month. Some versions may even give you possible variations to that word or phrase and the number of times those variations were searched for as well. This information will certainly give you an idea of which are the most searched keywords.

Then there are other tools that take the hunt for the most searched keywords one step further. These not only show you the count on how frequently the word was searched for, the variations on the word and the count on the search for these variations. These more advanced tools can also help you find words that have been most searched for in the last month with the least amount of competition for them. This is valuable information, as the utilization of a popular keyword untouched by your competition will secure you a prime position on search engines.

Keyword Marketing & Ranking With Top Popular Keywords

When you are looking for help promoting your site for top keywords, using keyword research tools for effective keyword bidding is essential. As you have probably heard over and over, keyword marketing is a pivotal step for success for online business. When you search a software tool to find the most popular keywords for your website you have to know exactly what is behind the high frequency of a specific search phrase.

If you are just throwing up websites without incorporating professional niche keyword research into your site planning, content development and search engine optimization, you are truly taking a shot in the dark. Once your site structure is done it is time to create the content for the site, which is the crucial part and where the keyword optimization and keyword density comes into play.

Never forget that keyword marketing research is the factor that determines the success or failure of your niche site. Keyword ranking is a very important process for any webmaster or writer to make use of the most searched keywords and related terms to help visitors find what they need. While doing keyword optimization it is always recommended to do a thorough market research and competitive analysis to find top keywords used by search engine visitors to find products and services online and what search terms are targeted by your competitors who are doing well in online marketing.

Keyword ranking will help you keep afloat from your competitors, because through it, you’ll know what the public wants, what people are actually looking for, thus giving you ample time to come up with services and goods that these people want. At its simplest level, keyword research is about studying the phrases that work for your search engine audience.

There are tools available which help you identify search terms suitable for your business and you should use them to assist you in keyword research. If you’re a brick and mortar business that sells power tools, proper keyword research can be a tremendous help—even before you set up your online business.

In summary, a keyword ranking research is the heart of any search engine optimization task. An effective website relies on good keyword density, and using the right tools to manipulate those terms.

Doing proper keyword optimization needs both time and skill, and the service doesn’t come cheap. In a nutshell, keyword marketing and ranking undoubtedly is a very important and also fascinating field of Internet marketing that unravels the magnitude of the Internet.

Natural and organic skin care made of Omega 5 oil

When it comes to organic skin care, using fruits and vegetables for cleansing routines has become common place.

Using organically grown fruits and vegetables such as ginger, pomegranates, apple and papaya, have proven to have positive skin care results. They have proven most effective when it comes to repairing damaged skin and moisturizing dry skin.

Almost every skin care guide has section on organic skin care, including the actions of various fruits and vegetables on skin. So choose the ones that are more suitable for your skin type and start experimenting with them until you finally select the ones that are most suitable for inclusion in your organic skin care routine. We like the lines that are made of Omega 5 oil.

It’s important that you use fresh organic fruits/vegetables. Don’t try to utilize the rotten ones for your skin, their only place is the garbage bin. Milk is known to posses good cleansing properties; in fact, the name of some skin care products contains the word ‘milk’ in them. A combination of milk with ground oatmeal acts as wonderful cleanser.

Ground oatmeal is especially good for oily skins and is a popular ingredient in organic skin care regimen. It is used in various combinations e.g. with egg, honey, milk and fruits, for preparation of organic facial packs.

Another organic element to consider for your skin care regime is wheat germ. Because it is blessed with high amounts of vitamin E, it can aid in moisturizing the skin and help to remove dead skin cells.

In addition to oatmeal, wheat germ, and it’s by product, wheat germ oil, are often ingredients found in organic skin treatments used to moisturize and exfoliate facial skin. Other organic sources for removing dead skin cells and helping the skin to retain its moisture are yogurt and sour cream.

Organic honey is well known for its effectiveness when it comes to an organic skin care regime. Honey contains natural properties that aid in moisture retention. In addition, using honey adds a healthy glow to your skins appearance. Substitute rose or lavender water for synthetic skin toners.

Omega 5 oil company is ready for the financial market

Who Needs a Business Plan

POMEGA LLC, a company operating in the biowellness sphere, like many nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals ventures is now being courted by greentech investors.

The question has come up whether one needs business plan.

This is what common sense dictates:

You need a business plan if you’re running a business. A business plan is like a map and a compass for a business. Without it you’re traveling blind. With a plan you set objectives, establish priorities, and provide for cash flow.

You need a business plan if you’re applying for a business loan. Most banks require it, and even those that don’t strictly require it expect it. They expect it to be a summary of the business, with some predictable key points.

You need a business plan if you’re looking for business investment. The plan won’t get you the investment, but not having a plan will mean you won’t get investment. Investors require a business plan. They invest in the people, the idea, the track records, the market, the technology, and other factors; but they look to the business plan to define and explain the business. You need a business plan if you’re working with partners. The business plan defines agreements between partners about what’s going to happen.

You need a business plan to communicate with a management team. The day-to-day business routine is distracting, problems come up, opportunities appear, and commitments should be followed and tracked. How do you know where you are in business without establishing where you started and where you intended to go? How can people commit to a plan they can’t see? You need a business plan to sell a business, or to set a value on a business for tax or other purposes such as estate planning, or divorce.

Sadly, many of the people who need a plan don’t know they need it. They get trapped by the myths of business planning. They don’t realize that plans are not just for start-ups, loans, or investment. They don’t realize that business plans are easier to develop than most people think To succeed in business you simply must plan the steps, set priorities, allocate resources, and manage the cash. Sure, some people say they don’t plan, but if they’re successful then they’re actually always planning in their heads. And you can keep that plan in your head if your business is very simple, cash flow is always adequate, and you don’t work with other people, and you don’t need to communicate your business plan with other people either.

Don't accept disadvantages in business. Don't try to run without a plan. Doing a plan is probably much easier than you think, and much more valuable.

Omega 5 oil companies soon to capture the attention of wellness related venture capital

The greening of the VC industry -- finally the focus shifts to Omega 5 oil companies

The average venture capitalist and the typical consumer of wellness products have much in common. Each is likely to be a graying Baby Boomer with high disposable income and little tolerance for the inconveniences of growing old. But despite the common wisdom that VCs fund sectors they know best, businesses tied to healthy living historically haven’t been big recipients of capital.

That is now starting to change, as VCs realize that Baby Boomers like themselves are big business. They’re funding all sorts of nontraditional ventures that tap into health-conscious Boomers’ pocketbooks, including a chain of yoga studios, a maker tortilla chips that help reduce cholesterol, and a company focused on brain health.

“We call it life science meets lifestyle,” says William Rosenzweig, managing director of Physic Ventures, a wellness-centered VC fund, and CEO of Brand New Brands, a food product incubator. Rosenzweig, who co-founded specialty tea purveyor Republic of Tea in the early 1990s, has since become the closest thing the industry has to a poster boy for wellness investing. In the past two years, Brand New Brands has introduced four product lines: a sleep-inducing beverage, a high-fiber shake, chips (the edible variety) that promote heart health, and snack bars that double as digestive aids.

It’s difficult to gauge how much venture money is going into wellness, as it crisscrosses traditional investment categories such as medical devices, consumer products, and, in some cases, biotechnology. On a deal-by-deal basis, however, wellness-themed investments crop up with frequency, with a few smaller funds such as Physic, St. Louis-based Prolog Ventures and Sherbrooke Capital Partners, devoting a big chunk of their portfolio to such deals.

Big funds such as Highland Capital Partners and Oak Investment Partners are also branching out into the healthy living area. Recent Highland investments include yoga studio chain Whole Body, wellness retailer Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, and yoga clothing maker Lululemon (which is in registration for an IPO). Oak, along with Radar Partners, participated in a $25 million Series A in June for New Sun Nutrition Inc., which makes and distributes healthy beverages and nutritional supplements

New proposed FDA rules will apply to Omega 5 oil gel caps

ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING

The FDA published the “Draft Guidance for Industry: Questions and Answers Regarding Adverse Event Reporting and Recordkeeping for Dietary Supplements as Required by the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act” for comment on Oct. 15.

The guidance provides industry with five minimum data elements for a reportable event: identifiable injured person, identifiable initial reporter, identity and contact information for the responsible person (i.e., the manufacturer, packer, or distributor submitting the serious AER to FDA), a suspect dietary supplement and a serious adverse event or fatal outcome. Included in this requirement is at least one way of contacting for follow-up the initial person reporting the event. The 15 business day time clock does not start until all five elements have been collected. Additionally, FDA “encourages responsible persons to use trained health care practitioners to elicit information from reporters.” There is still debate as to whether the language of the act requires firms have healthcare professionals to make “reasonable medical judgment” when collecting reports. Also notable, FDA says if a report involves multiple supplements from more than one responsible person, the first manufacturer should send a copy of the form to the other manufacturer(s). The additional manufacturers do not need to submit a separate report unless a manufacturer has information about the serious adverse event.

Omega 5 oil -- the a perfect antioxidant source

Pomegranates, like diamonds, are forever..

Click to see this POMEGRANATE video link to learn more

Could osteoarthritis be brought to its knees by a simple fruit? Researchers aren't making that declaration just yet. But they have found signs that natural compounds called antioxidants in pomegranates may thwart osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, with more than 20 million patients in the U.S., according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). The pomegranate study was done at Case Western Reserve University. The researchers included Tariq Haqqi, PhD, a professor of medicine. The results appear in The Journal of Nutrition. Pomegranate Project Pomegranate extract was pitted against osteoarthritis in lab tests. That's not the same as tests on people or animals, but it's a first step. Pomegranate extract did two things in those lab tests. It cut levels of an inflammatory chemical called interleukin-1b (IL-1b). It also curbed enzymes that erode cartilage. Cartilage is a hard but slippery coating on the end of each bone that helps bones slide smoothly past each other. Osteoarthritis develops when cartilage is broken down; exposed bone breaks down, causing pain, inflammation, and disability. First Findings This is the first study to show pomegranate's potential against osteoarthritis, note the researchers. The results "indicate the pomegranate fruit extract or compounds derived from it may inhibit cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis and may also be a useful nutritive supplement for maintaining joint integrity and function," they write. Researcher's Comments "Arthritis is one of the foremost diseases for which patients seek herbal or traditional medicine treatments," says Haqqi in a news release. "However, all the extracts and herbs have not been scientifically evaluated for their efficacy and safety. Indeed, some of them may even interfere with current treatments," he continues. "Therefore, careful use of supplements and herbal medicines during early stages of disease or treatment may be made to limit the disease progression," says Haqqi. As always, discuss any supplement use with your doctor. Pomegranate Potion The researchers didn't just crack open a pomegranate and put it in a blender. They also didn't use juice from the supermarket. Instead, they made their own pomegranate extract from powdered pomegranate. Sophisticated filtering and measuring was used for science's sake. The pomegranate has "been revered through the ages for its medicinal uses," write the researchers. Antioxidants in pomegranates fight inflammation and may also counter cancer and heart disease. In May, researchers reported that pomegranate juice may help prevent the return of prostate cancer. In March, another study showed that pomegranate juice may fight hardening of the arteries. Pomegranate Season Pomegranates are in season in the U.S. in the fall. They've got a thick, red, leathery skin. The seeds inside are the edible part. Want to try a pomegranate? You might want to wear a bib or old clothes. The seeds leave a very strong stain and are used as a dye.

The antioxidant-rich pomegranate is hailed by fitness experts, health officials and the media
The all-powerful pomegranate. The health benefits of this delicious exotic fruit are extraordinary: pomegranate juice has almost three times the antioxidant potency of an equal volume of green tea or red wine.

And for an aging society that is increasingly health conscious, that rightfully puts pomegranates on a very high pedestal. Why? Because antioxidants help neutralize free radical damage. Free radicals are highly reactive chemical substances that can damage our body’s cellular materials. Free radicals have been linked to major degenerative illnesses and accelerated aging.

According to a study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: “Pomegranates are proving to be the most powerful antioxidant source available, better than red wine, tomatoes, vitamin E and a variety of other headline makers.”

You know the pomegranate is hot when even the fashion press shouts its praises. A recent article in Vogue magazine exclaims: “Move over, blueberries - it’s all about pomegranates. Scientists have been obsessing over the fruit more than ever. Labs have discovered pomegranates are good for the heart!”

Flex magazine writes: “Pomegranates are a great source of antioxidants, in fact, the juice from pomegranates is higher in antioxidants than any other drink.”
And a Reuters story was headlined: “Pomegranate Juice Each Day May Keep the Cardiologist Away.”

This fruit may also help lower cholesterol, studies show. In a study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, men drinking pomegranate juice significantly increased the antioxidant level in their blood, and reduced oxidation of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. Other studies indicate a diversity of benefits beyond cardiovascular health.

Time magazine recently profiled the exceptional health benefits of the pomegranate fruit under the heading “Pomegranate Power.” Time writes: “The pomegranate, with its regal crown and sparkling scarlet arils, is the ‘in’ fruit among American’s leading health buffs. And for good reason - it has a tart, refreshing flavor, an ancient lineage, and provides a wallop of antioxidants.”

Pomegranates also contain various nutritious and pharmacological substances such as vitamins (B1, B2, C and niacin), minerals (potassium, in particular), amino acids (glutanic acid, aspartic acid), tannins (punicalagin, ellagic acid) and alkaloids (pelletierines).

And then, there is the all potent omega 5 oil that is extraced from the seed of pomegranates.

As a potent source of antioxidants, the pomegranate is rich in polyphenols, which promote heart health.

In a strong confirmation of the power of pomegranates to fight heart disease, studies of healthy human subjects showed why even moderate consumption of pomegranate juice could have significant clinical results.

According to studies at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, the cholesterol oxidation process - which creates atherosclerotic lesions that narrow arteries and result in heart disease - was slowed by as much as 40 percent when healthy subjects drank 2 to 3 ounces of pomegranate juice a day for two weeks. Further, the juice reduced the retention of LDL, the “bad” cholesterol that after its oxidation aggregates and forms atherosclerotic lesions.

With the nutrition world only beginning to discover the many health potentials of this amazing fruit, it was a must to include a hearty dose of pomegranate in each 1-ounce serving of

Omega 5 oil matters!

Do you care about your family?

Think about this family:

No claims, just perfection in nutraceuticals
www.pomega5.com

Regardless of the name, cosmeceutical or otherwise—a skin-care product is only as good as what it contains and how those ingredients can help your skin function better, or in the vernacular, to act younger. In fact, moisturizers (or any skin-care product claiming to have an effect on wrinkles or sagging skin) should absolutely contain an elegant mix of antioxidants such as pomegranate seed oil [ Omega 5], cell-communicating ingredients, and intercellular substances as they help skin keep a normal level of hydration, build collagen, reduce skin discolorations, and prevent cellular damage.

Natural Omega 5 oil soap - a very tempting experience

Plain beauty...

Or sophistictaed galore...

We all use the POMEGA5 cleansing bar

Organics and natural products have carried over into the bar soap category such as the Omega 5 oils. Consumers are seeking soaps that combine natural and organic ingredients with efficacy, and manufacturers are answering the demand.

More soap producers are gearing up for the organic market by having their facilities certified as organic manufacturing sites and buying organic raw materials. While utilizing these organic raw materials, manufacturers are also making changes to the oils used within the soap base.

Where natural vegetable oils were used in the past, now organic palm and soy oils and recently pomegranate seed oil are being used more frequently. The focus is on innovation and staying ahead of the trends—setting the trends really.

Bar soaps suit consumers who strive for an overall natural lifestyle. They like the straightforward simplicity and old-fashioned sensibility of a bar, and there is less packaging that needs to be disposed of compared to a liquid cleanser.

From an environmental stance, bar soap is far superior. The ingredients are more natural and friendly to humans and the environment and there is less waste and it’s often a paper package that is biodegradable versus a plastic container sitting in a landfill.

Within the industry, bar soaps have the capacity to carve an even more unique niche in the market through exotic ingredient offerings and fragrance-free options.

Bar soaps are becoming more specialized, creating a niche market. Adding exotic specialty ingredients such as Omega 5 oil takes soaps out of the ordinary and makes them unique.

Bar soaps need to build on natural-occurring selling points, such as the inherent multisensory experience of the pomegranate seed oil. Working with a bar sometimes opens up a greater range of creativity beyond liquid cleansers. A bar is an opportunity to work with the shape, weight, color, texture, lathering pattern and skin feel, using appropriate sensory characteristics to match up with a specific fragrance and engage a consumer in a multidimensional experience.

An ever-increasing level of design sophistication can be seen in the products coming from the workshops of small artisan soap makers such as Pomega5. They are bringing energy, excitement and innovation to the category through their use of unusual fragrance combinations, their creation of interesting textures and hand-detailed packaging.

Consumers increasingly seek products with value-added benefits and ingredients, such as those that fight acne, wrinkles and cellulite or provide sunscreen actives—and the value of these ingredients has been successfully touted in liquid soaps, playing no small role in the overall success of such products.

Bar soaps continue to compete effectively against liquid soaps by a strong emphasis on the ability to satisfy other personal preferences, which play a large role in the bath and body category. Further, savvy brands such as POMEGA today appeal to a larger segment of the market through strategic use of bar soaps.

Omega 5 Products are Wonderful

Guess who posed with the Tzerah products at the

Golden Globes Awards Ceremony

Trish Simms

This is just one products sold by Tzerah at: www.tzerah.com

What do we recommend?

Who remembers the days when the glossies were full of home made, so-natural-they-were-edible beauty remedies?

I'm sure I am showing my age but I remember reading Cosmopolitan as a teenager and feeling privy to some genuine insider info, such as discovering Jerry Hall's top hair tip: once a week she nourished her by hair by sleeping with a towel wrapped around her head after immersing her locks in olive oil.

This, at the time, seemed normal, if a little decadent to me, as olive oil was too posh a culinary item to be dousing so liberally in the name of beauty.

Growing up with this (and the idea that using teabags and cucumbers to wake up the eyes or moisturising facials made from avocado and egg) was seen as inspirational because in the eighties, that is exactly what the rich, famous and beautiful women were endorsing - despite being perfectly able to afford a fancy pot of skin cream.

I am now such a fan of the natural beauty product. I love the smell and feel of naturally derived ingredients and cannot bear eye-wateringly synthetic substances that so often come uninvited within the ingredients of skincare.

In the fashion and film world, natural beauty supplies have always been de rigeur. Models and actresses who have a lot of make-up going on and off their face are more likely to have sensitive skin. Chemicals and perfumes only exacerbate this problem so many make-up artists carry the very simplest of moisturisers, cleansers and removers in their kits.

Luckily, you needn't head for the kitchen any longer if you want to get your natural beauty fix. Companies like Tzerah or POMEGA5 have led the way for a number of cool, ethical, luxury brands.

The active ingredients are 100% organic and there are no petrochemicals, silicones or chemical preservatives found in almost all other mid to top range products. One of the 'star' products is the Omega5 Healign cream proving that natural is effective.

Another brand that will keep my celebrity and model subjects happy is the Tzerah line that was featured at the Golden Globes.

This brand seems to tick the most ethical boxes so far and I am very impressed. On the one hand you have the packaging, which is shipped, rather than flown and is biodegradable enough to chuck on the compost heap without throwing away design.

Natural brqnds suh as POMEGAS are dismantling old notions of natural skincare as we speak and prove that there is potentially as wide an appeal for natural skincare as there is for additive free, natural food- and for the same reasons and what is best for us, is usually best for the environment.

Does this mean we have to sacrifice the technological advancements in skincare? Not any more for although the ingredients are free of all the unnecessary additives, they still use the same chemists of the big, technology led companies, but use the science to incorporate natural, rather than chemical advancements like using pre and probiotics in the fight against skin damage from free radicals.

Naturally based skincare such as Tzerah no longer has to include the topical use of food or beverages or involve ridding yourself of any skincare luxury at all.

It does, however, include some additive-free benefits for your skin that just so happen to raise the ethical bar and provide an example for all businesses at the same time.

One of humankind's most enduring quests has been for the fabled Fountain of Youth. Ancient civilizations believed that there exists a means of stopping the aging process and even restoring the beauty and vigor of youth. This is a myth, of course. However, the constant search for anti-aging skin care products and natural supplements to counter aging is just a contemporary extension of this quest. We despise aging, because it reminds us of our mortality. Since there is no way to stop the aging process, we search for means of concealing the signs of advancing age.

Thanks to modern medical science, anti-aging skin care products and natural supplements have attained something of a cult status. Results from some of these products are tangible and visible. However, not all of them are valid treatments. Certain manufacturers simply exploit the desperation prevailing among those who would do anything to look young again.Anti-aging skin care products tend to approach the issue of aging from various angles.

The skin is obviously the primary focus, since dull, wrinkled skin is a dead giveaway. However, certain variants claim to reverse the entire metabolic process of aging, thereby restoring youthful looks. One must view products that make such miraculous claims with extreme suspicion.

Anti-aging skin care products that focus on rejuvenating the skin often contain high intensity moisturizers. The reason is that skin loses its natural moisture with advancing age, causing it to wrinkle and develop blemishes. Such products may also contain anti-oxidants to counter the deterioration of skin cells. These anti-oxidants include vitamins A, C, E and D, which enjoy the status of anti-aging vitamins. Many anti-aging skin care products aim to boost the skin's production of collagen, which promotes its elasticity and gives it structure.Chemical-based anti-aging skin care products can have moderate to serious side effects in certain users. This is especially true for those who have pre-existing allergies.

For this reason, there has been a trend of getting back to natural supplements with the prime focus on Omega 5 oil. While these are not always free of side effects, they are certainly safer and tend to treat the problem of skin aging holistically rather than symptomatically.

Natural supplements to chemical anti-aging skin care products contain organic botanical oils like pomegranate seed oil , herbal extracts and essential oils that the skin absorbs readily.

The POMEGA5 line contains all of the above.

Incidence of allergic reactions is quite rare.While buying natural anti-aging supplements, the customer should look for the presence of ingredients that promote skin rejuvenation. Users report considerable benefits from various natural ingredients, including pomegranate seed oil, green or white tea, chamomile, calendula, South African Rooibos, soy oil, pomegranate herbal extract and other safe essential oils.

Natural anti-aging skin care products do not contain harmful chemical preservatives, mineral oils, fragrances or other synthetic additives. This makes them far more skin-friendly.

Anti-aging skin care products come in the form of local applications (creams and lotions), face masks, massage oils and even orally ingestible pills. Whether the many anti-aging skin care products and natural supplements available nowadays are effective in countering skin aging is a matter of personal experience. In any case, a qualified dermatologist should monitor the use of such products to reduce the chances of infections and reactions.

Today, consumers are savvy shoppers with choices galore. Consumers enter the marketplace with a long list of “must haves.” There are so many enticing choices available, consumers can simply switch to another product if one does not meet their criteria.

More often, that criteria now includes “social consciousness” issues, such as alternatives to animal testing and the inclusion of natural ingredients.

This is becoming very true in the beauty marketplace, and marketers cannot ignore the social consciousness of consumers. It is no longer enough for a product to promise the moon and deliver it—the consumer’s social consciousness must also be assuaged while using it. In other words, the consumer must be made to feel good.

Consider this in the context of the trend toward organic and natural food. The extraordinary growth of the retailers Whole Foods and Wild Oats is but the tip of the iceberg in this avalanche of interest in organic products. Almost every food product brand currently lining store shelves is scrambling to introduce less processed, all natural versions. The leap from natural foods to natural beauty products isn’t a big one.

Why would consumers demand natural food and then cover their skin with non-natural ingredients?

According to a recent study by TNS/Media Intelligence/CMR, the natural and organic skin care, hair care and cosmetics market is growing by nearly 10% annually. In 2003, the market was approximately $3.9 billion. By 2008, it is anticipated to hit $5.8 billion.

Another report adding fuel to the organic beauty fire, the 2007 Health and Wellness Trends report from Natural Marketing Institute, reveals that consumers are quite willing to pay as much as 20% more for organic personal care products. Furthermore, the group’s Evolution of Personal Care Database reveals that 59% of the women surveyed said that having a product with 100% natural ingredients is somewhat to very important to them when purchasing personal care items.

In addition, the Organic Trade Association recorded an 11% rise in the growth of organic personal care products in 2006; organic hair care rose 17%.

Cosmeceuticals are loosely defined as products combining the benefits of a cosmetic and a pharmaceutical. The term is used by many skin-care companies, especially those sold or endorsed by dermatologists, to give the impression the products have more effective or more biologically active ingredients than just ordinary cosmetics. As more and more doctors get into selling or endorsing skin-care products, you will hear more and more about cosmeceuticals.

Dr. Tina Alster is the spokesperson for Lancome; Dr. Karyn Grossman is the spokesperson for Prescriptives; Dr. Patricia Wexler's namesake products, Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology, launched this fall; Skin Effects by Dr. Jeffrey Dover is at CVS; Dr. Sheldon Pinnell's SkinCeuticals line has been purchased by L'Oreal; and, of course, there’s N.V. Perricone, M.D. Upping the ante in this group is Dr. Howard Sobel, who added the outrageously priced RMX Maximum—$1,000 for a 28-day supply—to his DDF skin-care line.

The Tzerah Line stands out as it is a natural line.

Despite all this medical pedigree, the term cosmeceutical is not in any way regulated or controlled, and anyone can slap that label on their products to promote them as being more "medical." Cosmeceuticals are nothing more than a marketing term with illusions of grandeur. Even the FDA says cosmeceuticals don't exist, and considers these products to be merely cosmetics with clever marketing language attached.

Do cosmeceuticals really differ from any other cosmetics? The answer is both yes and no, if you look at some of the Doctors line above, because no matter how a product is labeled and marketed, many skin-care treatments contain chemical ingredients that affect the biological function of skin. Not the Tzerah line.

The biologically active ingredients to look for include antioxidants (most of which have anti-inflammatory properties), cell-communicating ingredients, exfoliants, skin-lightening ingredients, and intercellular substances (ingredients that mimic skin structure).

Antioxidants, applied topically, reduce free-radical damage, thus helping prevent cellular damage, collagen destruction due to inflammation, and immune suppression. These actions are incredibly valuable for skin. But aside from the insistent claims by those who say their product lines have the best antioxidants, the research is clear: There is no single best antioxidant, just lots and lots of potent options and lots and lots of research showing benefit for skin from everything from pomegranate, curcumin, superoxide dismutase, grape-seed extract, green tea, lycopene, vitamin E, vitamin C, DMAE, glutathione, uric acid, carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine), and glucopyranosides (resveratrol) to niacinamide, polyphenols (epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), genistein, pycnogenol, and more.

There is no such thing as an ugly woman, only a case of no use of Omega 5 oil skin care...

I can see you very clearly...

Two-thirds of US consumers agree that the pressure to look good is much greater now than ever before, but that doesn't always translate to feeling obliged to spend more money on health and beauty products, according to a global beauty survey by The Nielsen Company, MarketingCharts reports. Americans - along with consumers worldwide - agree that the pressure to look good is greater today than it was in our parents' generation:

However, "that doesn't necessarily mean that consumers are compelled to spend more on beauty products and treatments. It seems the older you get, the less you spend, as teens and consumers in their 20s spend more in this category," said Shuchi Sethi, VP, consumer products, Nielsen Customized Research. Some of the findings regarding spending on beauty products and treatments:
Less than a quarter of US consumers (23 percent) agree that they spend more on beauty products and treatments. On a global scale, 30 percent of consumers agreed they spend more than they used to.
When consumers do invest their personal grooming dollars, US respondents reported spending the most on hair care (81 percent), skincare regimes (61 percent) and facial treatments (47 percent).
The fewest US dollars go to hair removal (21 percent), tanning (23 percent) and eyebrow/eyelash tinting and shaping (29 percent).
If money were no object, US consumers would spend the most on body massages, teeth whitening, hair care, facial treatments and manicures/pedicures.
More findings from Nielsen's study:
Where Are We Buying?
Closely following the global averages, US consumers purchase health and beauty products mainly from supermarkets (53 percent), department stores (47 percent) and pharmacy/drugstores (40 percent), and to a lesser extent at beauty salons/spa (20 percent) or via the internet (18 percent):

Reasons for Spending
64 percent of US consumers say they invest in personal grooming because it makes them feel better about themselves, more or less mirroring the global average.
Latin American consumers (84 percent) lead the world in this area, followed by consumers in Asia-Pacific (62 percent), North America (62 percent) and EMEA (60 percent).
Fewer Americans (34 percent) say they invest in beauty products and treatments to attract a partner, while 62 percent spend money on beauty items to look good for their current partner.
What's In a Name?
The upscale price of upscale products isn't always worth it, according to many US consumers:
80 percent "very much" or "somewhat" agreed that mass market health and beauty products are just as good as premium or expensive alternatives for hair care, skin care and cosmetics.
Price (63 percent) and brand (47 percent) are the two most important considerations for US consumers' health and beauty product purchases, followed by a product's "promise" (31 percent), recommendations of friends (30 percent) and free product samples (30 percent).
