Love these products!  I am so happy to have found these wonderful products that have done wonders for my skin. I had tried many department store-bought moisturizers, as well as physician-dispensed brands, and found them too harsh, too weak, and ineffective. The Vital Therapy Ultra-Peptide and OMG night creams are in a completely different league.

                                                                                                                                I have been asked many times to explain why I think Vital Therapy products are better than the other cosmetic products on the market and why I have developed these particular products when stores, salons, and physician’s offices carry thousands of various products to enhance the beauty of the skin.

                                                                                                                                A recent article in The Townsend Letter for doctors and patients, and The Wall Street Journal, concerning the rise of breast cancer in the United States, stated that some of the culprits in contributing to this increase were toxic ingredients and mutagenic ingredients commonly found in almost all cosmetic products.

                                                                                                                                Most skin care products contain ingredients like preservatives, dyes, and chemicals that have No Value in the beautification of the skin, and may in fact contribute to hormonal or endocrine changes that are responsible for breast cancer. It is no secret that anything applied to the skin can be and almost always is absorbed into the blood stream, and must be handled as a toxic compound. These ingredients do not evaporate after application to the skin.

                                                                                                                                An example of this would be the chemical preservatives called parabens.  Parabens are endocrine disrupters that mimic the hormone estrogen and have been found to accumulate in the tissue of women with breast cancer.  Safer alternatives are available such as essential oils that are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral, and do not disrupt endocrine systems and do not accumulate in the breast tissue.  These essential oils are not as stable as parabens and thus Vital Therapy products do not have long shelf lives; that is, they must always be fresh and they must be turned over in 2 years.  Parabens on the other hand may increase shelf life up to 6 to 8 years. This is why the major cosmetic companies use these parabens.

                                                                                                                                Other dangerous chemicals are added to most cosmetic products to enhance the texture, elegance, or appearance of the product.  Vital Therapy products produce this same elegance without the toxic ingredients. It is more costly to do this, but the effort is worthwhile as these poisons are eliminated.

                                                                                                                                Vital Therapy products also use the exact isomer or the “Chrially” correct form of a nutrient, which is more efficiently utilized by the skin.  No unnecessary ingredients are added to the products. If the ingredient does not perform some very important function in the product, it is not added.

                                                                                                                                Vital Therapy products are the finest, least toxic skin nutrients found on the market at a price that is reasonable.
