Anti-Aging Tip: Sunblock 365
by Wendy Steele, Keys CEO


My skin is the first thing people notice when I meet them.  They always want to know what I am doing to get the natural glowing healthy look.  The calendar says I am 53. The amazing thing is that my skin looks better now than when I was 40!  Here is the most important tip, that I learned, so that you too can turn back the calendar…and get that natural glow,:

In my 40’s I was diagnosed with a Melanoma. My skin was a wreck from all the chemicals in the prescription products and sunscreens. When I started Keys, I knew that 90% of all visible skin aging came from UV exposure. Unfortunately, UV is present every day, rain or shine 365 days.  That is why I demanded that our Solar Rx would be truly a natural skin moisturizer with the best daily UV protection possible.  Solar Rx is the fastest way to turn back time (it is transparently clear-so you won’t look like a mime).

My secret to clear, clean youthful skin is Solar Rx everyday, 365 rain or shine. Clean, simple moisture, UV protection, protection from the cold, protection from the environment and no junk! Try it for one week-you and your friends will notice the difference.

Wendy's Skin Tips

Tip 1:
If you suffer from Rosacea or redness, Solar Rx can help. Many Rosacea medications contain 6% to 8% uncoated zinc oxide. The zinc oxide helps to reduce the redness in many skin types. Solar Rx contains 18.5% uncoated zinc oxide!

Tip 2: The fall and winter are cosmetic sunblock season. Yes, UVA radiation penetrates clouds, windows and is amplified by snow and ice. If you want maximum UV protection, use your sunblock year round and enjoy the moisturizing properties as well.

Wendy's Household Products Tips

Alert! A number of natural products companies offering HE laundry products have recently added sulfates, like sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), into their products. Even if a product listed no sulfates in the past, always check the label for added ingredients. Very recently, I purchased a well know brand and immediately felt the difference on my clothes and skin. I looked and sure enough they had a notice on their website about new formulations.

Keys Factoid

Keys Organic Position

Keys uses organic ingredients where possible based first on their purity and then on microbiology standards of excellence.  Beware that an ingredient that is certified organic only means that it is pesticide free.  It does not mean that it is clean or safe.

Keys averages 85% organic ingredients.  Here is why the balance is not.

1.  Wild crafted ingredients from Africa and the rainforest regions cannot be certified organic because of pollinating insect migration patterns.

2. Pharmaceutical grade oils are also generally not certified organic because they undergo stronger testing using a spectral chromatograph to look for impurities and foreign substances.

3. Some ingredients like water and zinc cannot be certified.

4. The industry's biggest issue is that many of the organically certified ingredients are not clean.  We have found parabens and gram positive rods like Staph and E coli in certified organic ingredients.  Also, many of the certified organic ingredients are grown on farms that have old equipment.  In these ingredients, we have detected metal shavings, rust and motor oil.

Keys principles are to use the purest ingredients in our products.  We microbiology test all incoming raw ingredients as well as review them using a spectral chromatograph for purity and unclaimed ingredients by the provider.

Keys Engineers Debunking

HE Washers really do not really require special detergents. Many companies like ECOver, and BioKleen offer liquid laundry soaps that do not have all the chemicals. Also be careful of buzzwords that make you believe that you have to use only one brand with your washer. They are smart machines, but not that smart.

While we are at it, we have tested the effectiveness of some natural household cleaners and we are impressed. Our favorite is Seventh Generation's Ruby Grapefruit and Herb. We have tested it on counters and even windows and mirrors with great results. Better than those blue sprays that you know are just full of chemical fragrances. Click Here to see the product
