From Eileen Allen, Founder and President of DermaRadiant.

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about our mission and why and how we developed the DermaRadiant 2-Step Miracle. First rest assured that they’re all made with a lot of love, no corners were cut, no expenses spared. When we developed DermaRadiant it was with one thing in mind, develop the best antiaging products incorporating the maximum amounts of active ingredients, anti oxidants and time tested botanicals available. The products have no perfumes or unpleasant scents to them (they are perfect for men and women, you won't smell like grandma!), they absorb quickly and do not leave any residue and are great over or under makeup and can be applied right before bedtime without worry.

By the time I turned 30 I had at least 20 different eye creams and anti wrinkle creams in my medicine cabinet. Many were greasy and uncomfortable to apply and awkward to use under make-up or before bed and predominately ineffective. This frustration was the beginning of DermaRadiant even though I didn’t know it at the time. So I began researching ingredients and base composition that are used to better understand what makes one product so different from another with the ‘same’ ingredients. Also I began pulling research and reviewing clinical trials that the companies were referencing to validate their claims. What I found was encouraging; there have been amazing scientific break through’s in the topical treatment of wrinkles and bags (the two most noticeable signs of aging and the ones I wanted to attack) but the problem is that most companies use minute amounts of these active ingredients for marketing and PR purposes only. Well I decided that I had to create products that would be all I wanted and more but I had never manufactured a skin care product before and in looking in it I found that most products are made off-shore and many are the same products with different labels. I was told this is the standard for small brands like the one I wanted to develop. So after much research I found the master, Don Sullivan.

Don is a member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists and has dedicated over 50 years to the field with an emphasis on education and development. He has conducted thousands of seminars worldwide. Don was the co-founder of Vidal Sassoon, D of Matrix Laboratories and Redken Labs as well. head of R&D for the Australian 3-minute miracle, inventor of Apple Pectin Shampoo and has had over 100 hair and skin products on the shelves at drug stores like CVS and Walgreens over the years. When I first met with Don he had retired from the cosmecutical business but was and is still consulting and lecturing but most importantly spending time with his grandchildren. I enticed him back into the lab largely because he was excited to be free from budget constraints that the majors had always placed on their R&D departments and together we created the DermaRadiant 2-Step Miracle!

Quite a few people have asked why we use tubes instead of tubs or jars, the answer is simple. When it comes to maintaining the anti bacterial integrity of a product tubes restrict cross contamination simply because your fingers are not coming in daily contact with the sterile product. By dispensing our anti aging products from a tube we are able keep the alien bacteria and microbes on the fingers from contaminating the product. Additionally you will see that our tubes dispense the exact amount of product desired without any wastage.

When it comes to the development of our Healing Desert line a special thank you goes to Bob Scriber. Bob has over 20 years experience as a film and television make-up artist. He has been honoured with an Emmy Awards for Best Special Effects Make-up, and a Hollywood Make-up Artist and Hairstylist Guild Award for Best Period Make-up for his work on "American Dream." Bob spent several months on his own and with professional chemists perfecting the solution and trying different formulas to create specialized treatments that would help the actors and actresses he worked with daily. He came up with the perfect skin care products developed around a specific form of cactus that has been renowned for centuries for its healing properties and he has been using these gels and cleansers on Hollywood's biggest stars for over a decade now. Many of these stars use the products daily to protect and moisturize their skin before and after heavy makeup application and exposure to hot, drying lights on the set. Never have these amazing products been made available to the public, until recently. Thank you Bob!

Special thanks goes to my husband John who has supported this project in many ways.

And of course our FDA approved facilities in California and all the wonderful people there that ensure that each product is fully heat and freeze tested to maintain its integrity and provide a sterile production environment that makes it one of the most sought after facilities in the U.S. We may be their smallest client but we’re the most fun!

We look forward to serving you for many more years to come.

Sincerely,

Eileen Allen
