New Skincare Startup Offers Organic Products Helping With Skin Conditions

San Jose, California-based company offers hand-made skincare products providing relief to skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

2011-11-15

SAN JOSE, CA, November 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) Botanolution, a boutique company specializing in organic health, beauty, and skincare products, proudly announced the opening of its online store (www.botanolution.com). The demand for natural and green products continues to grow as the support for healthy living is promoted more aggressively in today's society. However, today's skincare market is filled with products containing harmful synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, and dyes that can cause allergic reactions. Furthermore, most consumers today are unaware of the harsh and harmful components found in their favorite off-the-rack beauty products. Such products can be more damaging than helpful; especially to people with sensitive skin or suffer from skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, leaving them with little options in today's offerings. Botanolution's products contain 100% natural ingredients deriving from remedial botanical oils and unrefined minerals.

"The creation of Botanolution started off with a very simple idea of creating all natural bath salts and sugar scrubs. I have always been a strong advocate of holistic remedies; it is deeply rooted in the Asian culture and history," says Jennifer Tran, Founder and CEO of Botanolution, Co. "My son, Kaleb, was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3 ½. He was hyperactive and restless. After years of research about the disorder and possible remedies, I stumbled upon an article about the healing powers of Dead Sea Salt and Epsom Salt. Impressed with its scientific data, I searched for products that contain such ingredients, and to my dismay, I could only find a handful of products in the market that are 100 percent natural, but they are ridiculously priced. Being a single mother attending college, I just didn't have the means to afford such expensive products. I then decided to create my own custom bath salt mixture intended to calm Kaleb's boundless energy. I also added three types of essential oils for aromatherapy purposes. I decided to name this product, Kaleb's Potion, after my son. It has been very effective for him. He is now more relaxed and calm. That's when I decided it was my calling to help other parents (and individuals) looking for natural and affordable remedies for their health ailments. And a few years after, we opened Botanolution." she added.

As a way to give back to the community and spread autism awareness, Botanolution will donate 100% of its sale profits of "Kaleb's Potion" to Stanford University's Autism Research.

The company offers products featuring unique combinations of botanical and mineral ingredients with known remedial and therapeutic properties. Since Botanolution does not include fillers, its products are highly concentrated, 100% pure, and natural - giving its customers the highest standards of quality.

"Ever since I had my two sons I've been cursed with chronic eczema. I've tried everything from prescribed corticosteroids to so called "remedies" without success. It wasn't until I stumbled upon Botanolution that I have actually found relief! The first time I tried their facial scrub [Illuminosity] I couldn't believe how wonderful my face felt! My upper lip was always a problem area for me to the point where it hurt even to smile, but after my first use, my skin was noticeably smoother and moisturized. I figured my skin would dry out after an hour as usual but the dry, cracked, red, and inflamed skin on my upper lip vanished after only four days! For the first time in years I can smile pain free!" - Gee L., San Jose, California

Evidence of ancient lake in California's Eel River emerges

EUGENE, Ore. -- (Nov. 14, 2011) -- A catastrophic landslide 22,500 years ago dammed the upper reaches of northern California's Eel River, forming a 30-mile-long lake, which has since disappeared, and leaving a living legacy found today in the genes of the region's steelhead trout, report scientists at two West Coast universities.

Impact of timing on carotid artery stenting after stroke or transient ischemic attack

2011-11-15

PHILADELPHIA - A recent study found no significant difference in the outcome for patients who received carotid artery stenting (CAS) at more than 30 days post-transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke versus those who received CAS at 30 days or less post-event. Surgical literature recommends that the removal of plaque from the carotid artery take place within 14 days of a TIA or stroke for the best outcomes. However, little is known about the optimal timing of carotid artery stenting for these patients. Nicholas J. Ruggiero, II, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.S.C.A.I., F.S.V.M., ...
