Revolutionizing Men’s Grooming

Revolutionizing Men’s Grooming: The Multifaceted Benefits of Island Rx Liquid Soap for Skin, Scalp, and Hair Restoration For modern men seeking a streamlined yet effective approach to personal care, Island Rx Liquid Soap emerges as a groundbreaking solution that bridges dermatological science with centuries-old herbal wisdom. Developed through rigorous experimentation by Keys Pure Skincare founder Wendy Steele during her recovery from melanoma treatment[1][14], this Castile-based formulation represents one of the most significant advancements in multifunctional grooming products. With clinical observations of improved hair density in 72% of users within six months[6] and documented cases of eczema reversal in 89% of clinical trial participants[1], the product’s unique alchemy of saponified oils and phytocompounds offers transformative benefits for both cutaneous health and follicular regeneration. Historical Formulation Meets Modern Dermatological Needs The foundation of Island Rx’s efficacy lies in its adaptation of an 18th-century Castile soap recipe, enhanced through phytotherapeutic innovations. Unlike conventional sodium lauryl sulfate-based cleansers that strip the acid mantle, the saponification process here uses cold-pressed olive oil (Olea europaea) combined with coconut (Cocos nucifera) and jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) oils to create a pH-balanced surfactant system[14]. This preserves the stratum corneum’s structural proteins while maintaining an optimal 5.5-6.0 pH range critical […]

Reflex Probiome® My Anti-Aging Secret Weapon

Reflex Probiome® My Anti-Aging Secret Weapon by Wendy Steele Many Keys® products were designed for me and my crazy skin.

Omni & AguaVit – “Elixir of Life”

Omni & AguaVit – “Elixir of Life”.    Keys Skip Generation Technology – Blended Whole Botanicals We introduced two new products that significantly advanced us and the industry a few years back. AguaVit and Omni (“Elixir of Life”) are those products that employ a remarkable change in how we produce products that offer functionality, efficacy, and performance. Traditionally, companies blend ingredients to create a new product. These can be oils, essential oils, extracts, and blends of separately processed ingredients. Often, these ingredients are estered or separated and refined for a specific function. For example, Vitamin E can be refined from vegetables to look for and extract only a portion of the Vitamin E or the creation of a Tocopherol substance using refining processes. Then, many ingredients with separated functionality are blended to create some action. This is a lot of work, and I continually question separating components of any natural substance to increase its intensity. Deriving an intense form of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) from fruit like apples sounds natural, but it is not. The intense action of an AHA burns the skin to exfoliate rapidly, with many consequences beyond red skin. So it is true of many estered ingredients […]

Luminos: A Revolution in Makeup, by Design

How Does Luminos Work…A new generation of makeup by design. By Bob Root, Keys Technologist Authors note:  Everywhere I go, women and men  come up to me and say, “Show me that Luminos thing you do?”  They are talking about a little illusion I do with Luminos that is more than an illusion.  I turn my hands, palms down, show them the back of my hands, and then rub Luminos on the back of just one hand.  Two seconds, and I show them the back of both hands again, side-by-side.  The Luminos hand is clear, and smooth and any redness is gone.  I move from one lighting area to another to show them that the illusion remains in any light. Then I explain how a TV show inspired its creation.  The first question is, “How did you do that.”  I answer…Magic! Painting Faces Luminos Background – How it began! Keys was thrust into the Hollywood scene with our Eye Butter.  Invited to present Eye Butter to 300 Hollywood makeup artists I was exposed to a lot of industry jargon.  What struck me the most was that the makeup artists called themselves “face painters.” As Eye Butter grew in popularity, I […]

Luminos PLUS is a way to fight back time. luminos PLUS is genuinely a bit of a time machine that even makes this guy look better and younger.

Dramatic Skin – Keys® Reflex Probiome® – Collagen Restoring

Reflex ProBiome – The Back Story Reflex is one of the oldest new products we have.  I know that does not make sense.  It does to me because I developed Reflex almost five years ago and have been testing it since under a code name.  My problem was that the delay had nothing to do with developing the product, packaging or refinement.  My problem?  At least three of the ingredients I needed were not available in quantities greater than a few gallons.  If you keep in mind that I need thousands of liters or gallons to bring a product to market, a single liter is only good to prototype and lead to frustration.  As if it was a sign from the heavens at this place in space and time, providers showed up with production quantities of high-grade organic virgin avocado oil, virgin Tamanu oil, and our own ability to volume extract our Muras.  Later in the article below, all the ingredients are described, and it was the fact that I could buy ample quantities of raw materials without compromising quality that facilitate the launch of our new product by its real name.  Reflex ProBiome is unquestionably a big deal because […]

Luminos, The Original “No Makeup Clean Look.”

Luminos, The Original “No Makeup Clean Look.” By Bob Root, Keys Chief Technologist  Are you trying to get the No Makeup Clean Look? Look to Luminos for beyond the clean look to healthy. You may think that you already know everything there is to know, but I might surprise you or, at least, remind you of what you know. I intend to give you an insight into a new way of thinking, not about makeup, but how you prepare your skin for makeup. First, I want you to understand how makeup works, how it is made, and what it does. More important is how to create a prime foundation that does not make you look like a Chinadoll or Mime.    I originally wrote this article in 2009 after the introduction of Luminous, our super moisturizer and clear skin foundation. When I am in front of customers, doctors, estheticians, makeup artists, actors, and cosmeticians, the question is always the same. “When are Keys going to create a makeup line?” My answer is when I can find safe ingredients that have the right colors and staying power. I began looking at traditional makeup about fourteen years ago. I studied conventional makeup […]

Autoimmune Skin Disorders – The 80/20 Rule

In life, there seem to be consistent numbers that play out. One set is commonly called the 80/20 Rule. In tech, it meant that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. In the science of skin, it seems that 80% of autoimmune skin disorders are caused by just one thing. Recently some science has confirmed that trend. A recent study I have read suggests that 80% of skin disorders are autoimmune related. In my book, Chemical-Free Skin Health®, I connected some of these to chemicals in everyday skincare products. The most notable are Phthalates and Parabens. Phthalates are chemical enhancers of fragrance, and parabens are a biocide preservative. Both toxicities are cumulative. Another 80/20 rule in skincare is that 80% of autoimmune disorders strike women, with 20% affecting men. The most obvious for a first principle thinker is that women are the primary users of chemical-laden skincare and personal care products. When I wrote my book, estimates were that women used an average of 38 personal care products every day. Ironically, another study I have just read that is pre-peer-review notes that autoimmune skin diseases decreased during Covid. Which to me, also relates to the fact that women […]

Breanne’s – Keys Video Reveals Her Regimen

Hi All, Well, Bre is at it already telling her fans about her love affair with Keys.  This YouTube video is about her favorite Keys regimen. I already knew that Bre is a huge Tortuga fan.  In her video, she reveals that she uses it as a facial moisturizer.   True!   We have always let people know that Tortuga is an everywhere lotion.  Many actors and makeup artists have found that the constant makeup on and off really dries the actor’s skin.  Tortuga is a fast deep conditioning lotion and facial moisturizer. Bre had some sunspots on her arms and Nextra started working right away.  So like Tortuga, Nextra serves more than one purpose.  It is not just for the face.   One of our makeup artists is experimenting with Nextra using Red Light Therapy.  More of that later. Reflex ProBiome is our deepest oil and serum moisturizer.  There is nothing like it and a fraction of the price of other serums from both beauty and Rx brands. Bre offers a coupon to use for first-time buyers of Keys.  Sorry, if you are already a Keys customer, the code will not work.  You have returning customer privileges, so you […]

Craft Distillers – Covid Heroes of a Different Kind

Recognizing Craft Distillers – They May Just Have Saved A Lot of Lives Our new hand sanitizer can be refilled at home. The lead article shows you how to make it. We are a small company and are selling our extra strength sanitizer near cost, but another feel-good story is the distilleries around the world that are stepping up to the cause to make hand sanitizers or sell/give away grain alcohol to make your own. First, recognize that the two biggest fighters of Covid-19 and any other virus are hand washing with simple soap and strong alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Both help to kill the virus in different ways. Both are our first defense. It was only a few hours of Covid-19 news when the store shelves cleared of hand sanitizers, isopropyl alcohol, and sanitizing wipes. Soon after, we started to post on social media that you can use grain and corn alcohol over 150 proof (75%) to do the same thing. Grain alcohol quickly became hard to find. Liquor stores were selling out as people desperately started to look for solutions. Yes, there was hoarding, but there is also a much greater need now and in the future for hand […]

Galleyon Antibacterial Foaming Soap is Now Supercharged

Galleyon Natural Antibacterial Foaming Soap has been a cornerstone of Keys for near 15 years. Galleyon is an alternative to soaps that contained Triclosan. Unlike antibacterial soaps, it is not a biocide, so it does not kill our skin’s natural Probiome. It reduces the levels of harmful bacteria without harming the natural colonies of bacteria on our skin. Galleyon is now supercharged! Try it now.

Reflex ProBiome – The Back Story Reflex is one of the oldest new products we have.  I know that does not make sense.  It does to me because I developed Reflex almost five years ago and have been testing it since under the code name of Silken.  My problem was that the delay had nothing to do with developing the product, packaging or refinement.  My problem?  At least three of the ingredients I needed were not available in quantities greater than a few gallons.  If you keep in mind that I need thousands of liters or gallons to bring a product to market, a single liter is only good to prototype and lead to frustration.  As if it was a sign from the heavens at this place in space and time, providers showed up with production quantities of high grade organic virgin avocado oil, virgin Tamanu oil and our own ability to volume extract our Muras.  Later in the aricle below, all the ingredients are described and it was the fact that I can buy ample quantities of raw materials without compromising quality facilitate the launch of our new product by its real name.  Reflex ProBiome is unquestionably a big […]

The News Is Not All Bad!

I must admit that I have been CNN Free for nearly tens years. Really!  I find myself working at looking at the world through positive lenses.  I have found that watching things out of my control affects my overall health.  This is not an “ignorance is bliss” approach to living as much as it is a focus on what I can effect, affect and control. For some time now, I have been afflicted with the belief that much of our health is not about doctors, prescription or even prevention.  As I have studied, for my own life, I have found that health and specifically skin health, are directly relates to changing behaviors and realizing that it is not just about what we put into or on our body, it is how we do it and exercising the critical systems of the body.  Simply, just eating right and going to the gym are minor things and pale in comparison to focusing on our physical, mental and endocrine body balance. My research may or may not be leading to a new book, but one thing for sure is that I believe that much of our skin health has been too focused on the negative aspects of […]

Keys Omni – New Revolutionary Skin Spray Elixir

Omni – Skin Elixir Spray 60ml (2oz) Omni is a revolutionary product from every aspect.  Omni is a technology term derived from the Latin word Omnis meaning “all.” When we began to develop AquaVit, it became clear that our Ariane ingredient had wonderful properties. Omni was originally being developed with an ingredient we named Miras. Miras is a special ingredient that comes from the fruit of the Forsythia plant and has very high levels of Oleanolic which is known to have many healing and cleansing properties for the skin without harming the skins probiotic EcoSystem.  We then combined Ariane and Miras together for a combined effect that rivals any skin care, anti-aging or beauty product in the world.  Of course, I am biased.

AguaVit & Omni – Two New Functional Ingredient Products From Keys

RediCare, OmniCare & OmniShield Locking Sprayer

We are pleased to announce the next generation sprayer head for our some product.  The innovations for this new design development are a finer mist spray, more even and less pressure required to operate, and a new integrated locking mechanism. Most people quickly notice the new locking mechanism. The prior sprayer used a “wishbone” clip that kept the pump from operating while in a bag, backpack, or pocket. The problem with the old design was that the small clip was easily lost. In developing the next-generation sprayer, we sought all the new features plus an integrated lock. As simple as it seems, it took us a long time to bring the design to the market. Below is a short video that shows the operation of the locking latch.  Merely push the button from the right of the pump to open the sprayer for operation and a second push from the left to latch it closed and prevent accidental discharge of the pump. We are constantly looking for higher-quality ingredients, improved processes, and new mechanical designs to improve our products. It is our firm belief that our products must solve problems and make people feel good. Sometimes, solving problems is how products are […]

Keys Product Labels

We have always published our product labels on our website.  Admittedly they have been a little hard to find and took some work.  As a part of the evolution of our website and our dedication to simpler more informed content, we have created a page on our blog dedicated to our products from an informational standpoint.  The page on the main menu bars above and to the right show a new category called “Keys Products.”  As we add information, it will appear in this category and as a brief article like this one. So, now all of our label art in flat pattern is available to be viewed by clicking this link or the label image herein.  You can also go to the category page and click the link there to see these labels. You will also notice that we are beginning to add recycle symbols to our labels.  Many of our containers are made in the EU and do not have mold recycle marks.  These packages are fully recyclable.  We are adding the symbol to all of our labels as an assurance.  As we add the symbol, we will update the label art page above to reflect the changes.

Our Green Piece…How It’s Made at Keys!

by Bob Root Keys Technologist Clean, Caring, Concerned and Diligent! Everyone want to know these days what is in your products, what is not in your products and how does the making of your products effect the environment.  I thought it might be lighter to use the title Green Piece with an ‘i’ because that is what the PR people call the eco statement that a company offers.  Often these are full of $5 dollar words and platitudes.  So, I have attempted to inform here without using too many words or big words that have no meaning.  I am sure I have missed something, so make sure you use the comment box to ask me your questions. Keys is not just another natural products manufacturer.  We design skin care solutions that solve problems.  If there was a FDA category for Natural Medicines, you would find Keys there.  What you will notice about our products is that we present them as natural solutions to problems with features, benefits and advantages offered.  We are not a company that focused on scents, nor do we add any ingredients to scent our products.  Although many people comment on the way our products smell, it […]

New iPhone Application to Track Cosmetic Ingredients

A new iPhone application promises to inform the consumer of which products should be avoided using a database of INCI names and the ingredients allotted safety profile. Cosmetifique can be used with both the iPhone and iPod Touch and claims to have a searchable database of over 5,000 ingredients, in INCI format. Results for ingredients searches come back highlighted as either red, orange or green, to denote whether the ingredient is good, acceptable or should be avoided. According to application designer Alfredo Delli Bovi, this can inform the consumer whether the cosmetics they have bought or are planning on purchasing are dangerous to their health or the environment. Cosmetifique also allows favourite products to be saved with the name, brand and colour, which can then be shared with friends via email, facebook or twitter. Delli Bovi explained that the ingredients suggested as good are natural and green ingredients.  “We talked to make-up gurus and 90 percent of them preferred natural ingredients, so we don’t suggest chemical ones like dimethicone,” he said. A local scientific agency provided much of the information for the application as did webservices, explained Delli Bovi. The application is now available to purchase from Apple’s App Store at a […]

RediCare – Healing Spray and Natural Insect Repellent for People and Their Pets!

Miracle product? Could Be! RediCare is certainly, a product that has touched so many people and pets in a positive way that we just had to write this article. Keys RediCare offers solutions to skin disorders, internal disorders that cause the skin to react, itch and breakdown. For sunburns, burns and scrapes, RediCare performs equally as well. RediCare is a natural insect repellent and much more. It all begins with the story of how RediCare became such a universal product. It was born from inspiration, a natural disaster and the people and the animals that suffered from exposure to chemicals, poisons, exposure and pollutants. The Keys RediCare story is as important as what the product does for people and pets today. Born as a result of Hurricane Katrina, the early search and rescue teams came back with skin disorders, poison ivy outbreaks, raw skin, burned chemically and from the sun. The irritations were both visible and wide spread. The search and rescue team members, handlers and their dogs were suffering long after the weeks they spent in waist deep water that was polluted with gasoline, industrial chemicals, natural toxins, waste and everything imaginable. Members of the
