Keys® Island Rx Foaming Wash – Try It for a fresher clean

Island Rx Foaming Wash – Feel the Micellar difference. The Keys Island Rx Foaming Wash is a natural skincare product that cleans and nourishes the skin. The core Island Rx liquid soap was designed and made nearly twenty years ago for our CEO and founder, Wendy Steele. Her skin was so sensitive post Melanoma, and all the prescription products worsened it. Regular Castile soaps like Dr. Bronner helped, but they were still too harsh and alkaline. Island Rx was invented for her as a safer and milder alternative. Most Castile soaps have a micellar set of properties. Later, we put Island Rx into a foamer to air-dilute the micellar cleanser to make it even milder. Island Rx Foaming Wash has the highest concentration of micelles available today in a whole natural form. Island Rx offers people a way to cleanse the skin without scrubbing the face. The micelles bind to oil, removing makeup and debris while hydrating the skin. Combined with our milder version of Castile, it is a gentle alternative to harsher sulfate chemical cleansers. Here are its features, benefits, and advantages: Features: Made with natural ingredients, including saponified olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera, and more. […]

Keys® Product Formulations – A Formulators Perspective

I receive a lot of very interesting questions every month that are escalated to me by our customer service. A question often enrobed in suggestions is in regard to Vitamins and the benefits of ingredients in our products. I am pleased and amazed at the complexity of the questions from our customers and the suggestions I receive. First, please remember that my team are engineers and not chemists. Every product starts with a clean slate based on the functionality we are trying to achieve. So, each ingredient may look like a single add, but each being the “whole” version brings a complexity that we engineers call features, benefits, and advantages (FBAs). An ingredient like avocado oil may seem like one ingredient, but the nature of the whole oil brings many features. Each with a benefit and advantage. Many chemists will add a chemical version of a Vitamin when the whole ingredient brings a better performance plus more features, benefits, and advantages to the completed product. Indeed, this is a complex subject to grasp, even for formulators. Often, one whole ingredient will have ten features, and even a more complex theorem will interact with the features of another element at a […]

Nextra® NeoRetinol – Exceeding Expectations

Nextra® NeoRetinol Discovery – Better Than Retinol “I am in my 60’s and have been using Retinol for decades. By far, it is the best skincare product ever invented. I have purchased Retinol in tiny tubes for over $300 each for years, and it has been worth it until Nextra® NeoRetinol. When Bob Root researched and invented NeoRetinol, I was skeptical; how was it possible to recreate a Retinol that can be used every day, in the sun and without side effects. I started using Nextra NeorRetinol over a year ago, and I use it every day with none of the side effects of Retinol. It is amazing, and it has an amazing price. It is important to note that Retinol is a vitamin A ester developed many years ago with side effects as legendary as its effects. We have developed NeoRetinol that does all the same things as Retinol, but with none of the side effects.” Wendy Steele Keys® CEO Retinol is the staple of just about everyone’s skin regimen that wants to turn back the clock. Retinol is a vitamin A ester developed many years ago, primarily for acute acne sufferers. The effects are legendary, as are the […]

The Quest for the Fountain of Youth. Tamanu Oil?

Skin Health & Anti-Aging When we started Keys, it was for my sweetie’s battle against Melanoma. As the story goes, her surgery was successful, but her battle against the prescription skincare seemed futile. I had to find ingredients in the natural world to help her skin recover and flourish in a hostile environment. Besides finding ingredients and combining them into products that work for all sorts of skin issues, it started a quest for unique natural ingredients that became a part of our DNA. Also, a part of our DNA is your well-being in our search for products that solve your skin problems and make you feel good. Where do Natural Skincare Ingredients Come From? Most companies go to tradeshows to learn about the next hottest chemical or ingredient. At Keys®, we are looking for miracle ingredients that work and that comes from the jungles of the Amazon, India, and around the world. Our advisors are aboriginals more often than not. There are no chemists at Keys®. With an eye on sustainability, it is a part of our culture and DNA that we search for ingredients that serve a purpose and, combined, are larger than the sum of […]

Just Wash Hands

Yes, it is flu season, and traveling is getting to be a more significant concern. It is the time of year to write about not only how to wash your hands, but why doing it the wrong way can hurt.

Many years ago, we researched the University of California Irvine on proper handwashing as a means to stay healthy during flu and virus outbreaks. The study formed our opinion, which I will share here.

The primary purpose of washing your hands is not to spread viruses to your face. The average person touches their face about 50 times a day. When I mentally checked in with how often I touch my face or nose with my hands, I quickly lost count—much more than 50 times a day.

The American Organic Hustle – Understanding The Misunderstood

A customer contacted Keys Customer Service with three fundamental questions. The questions are mostly about being organic and safety as well as functionality. I have the answers, and they might not be what you think.

They Asked:

I am thinking of getting Keys MetaClean Healing Soap & Shampoo, it says there is >85% organic content, what is the rest that is not organic in this shampoo?

2. When you list on the right the vitamins/actions, are you indicating that the actual ingredient is providing those vitamins, for example, Avocado Oil gives Retinol vitamin or is Retinol separate from the Avocado Oil?

3. What is it in here that can be unsafe for some individuals since it is not complete 0 on safe scale
