Sebaceous
hyperplasia is a common skin condition characterized by painless, benign bumps
on the skin that form over time. These
bumps may be white, yellow, or pink and may be single occurrences or may
cluster into groups. This condition
usually occurs in newborns or middle-aged to older adults. They are most common on the face,
particularly on the nose, cheeks and forehead, but may also appear anywhere on
the body. Quite often the treatments offered by dermatologists
and skin care professionals may include facial peels, such as salicylic or TCA,
needling, liquid nitrogen, prescription medications, and even surgery in
extreme cases.
Osmosis Skincare
offers a much safer option for treating this challenging skin condition.

"I am a licensed esthetician and I
have been using your products for a few months now with remarkable results. I
would like to share with you, two wonderful true incidences. My mom who has
suffered from acute arthritic pain for almost a year and was not sleeping as a
result has started taking Joint Health by Osmosis. I
gave it to her as a gift and was so happy to hear that after taking it for just
two days she is out of pain! She is sleeping soundly now and can even skip a
day or two and still has no pain. She told my neighbor who is in her eighties
and was in terrible pain due to her arthritis. My neighbor gave it a try and
now is pain free too! She is from Japan and speaks very little English but her
smile said it all! She wanted me to thank you for her new "medicine"
which she is just amazed with. I am grateful that I found your company and
shudder to think of how she would have been if it wasn't for the Harmonized Water.
Thank you for your awesome products and great customer service. "

We
have gotten several calls and emails asking about our use of Micronized
Minerals in our Powder foundation formulas.
We asked our Artistic Director, Alejandro Falcon, to share some
information on this hot topic.
Micronized Minerals vs Nano-Particles
Some
mineral make up lines begin with crushed
minerals for their Mineral Powder formulas which results in a formula that
is not as refined and is therefore, larger in size. Usually these mineral
powder formulas tend to be very shiny when applied to the skin and may cause a
reflective "whitish" look in pictures.
For
this reason, you may need to use a mattifying powder to cut down some of the
shine after the powder foundation application. You might also have to add a
bronzer or bronzing powder to make the foundation warmer so it looks more like
a natural skin tone.
Micronized mineral foundations are smaller in size
but are not nano-particles. Usually micronization refers to the fine milling of
minerals which does not involve making them microscopic in size, like nano-particles. We do not use nano-particle size
minerals in any of our Mineral Powder foundations. Nano-particles are
extremely small in size, slightly penetrate the skin and may clog the pores.
Osmosis Colour starts off with a Micronized Powder formula. It is
then Triple Milled to be smoother and more even in size, not
smaller. Triple Milling refers to taking
the Powder foundation formulas and milling it once, twice and three times. This
process is done by using a roller that goes over the formula over and over, for
a total of three times. This allows our OsmosisColour formula to be smoother and silkier when applied. It is also the
reason why our formula does not look cakey or heavy on any skin type. Additionally, we also took the Bismuth
Oxychloride out of the Pressed Bases, which can often make Mineral Powder
foundations appear dryer on the skin and can sometimes feel itchy.
Triple
Milling is
an option that mineral make up companies can choose for their Mineral Powder
foundations formulas as an extra step for a smoother foundation. Some companies choose to triple mill, some do
not. For an optimal finish, be sure to
always choose powder foundations that have been triple milles.

Great question! Enlighten has both
tyrosinase inhibitors and melanocyte hormone blockers that suppress the
production of melanin. Melanin, of course, also provides protection for our skin
and DNA so we don’t want to over suppress its production. That is where the 90
days comes in. It might not be exactly 90 days that someone can use Enlighten
as everyone is slightly different and may be able to use it less or more. The
idea is to use until desired effects (meaning normal skin tone) is achieved.
Then stop use of the product so as to not under suppress the production of
melanin. They can always pick up use again if needed down the road.
