    15th Year Anniversary for a Skincare Company that Never Expected to Last This Long

    “I started the company with no budget, just few customers who were my friends and believing that my business would be short lived,” said Ishay Shen. ”I naively thought that once the larger companies find out just how efficient and cost effective those exfoliation gloves are, they will want to pass on that news onto their customers,” she adds.

    15 years later and the Baiden Skincare company is still going strong, right under the noses of the big competitors.

    Baiden Mitten – the product that has withstood the test of time. Customers report significant immediate improvement in many skin conditions such as dry skin, Keratosis pilaris, acne, rosacea, eczema, strawberry legs, psoriasis and dermatitis.
    Baiden Mitten in action. Deep massage brings up toxins from deep within the skin and rolls them off your body. The skin pores, finally clear of blockages not only release toxins, but uptake more oxygen. The skin and your body get rejuvenated instantly!

    ”We could not figure out why big skin care companies did not want to have anything to do with the product. We knew from our manufacturers that a couple of them ordered samples, but nobody got back to them on it. It was a mystery, until we followed the money. It might be, it was not financially viable to promote something that not only was super effective, did not need to be replaced for up to 2 years and made a myriad of other products obsolete.”

    Surprisingly, the Baiden Skincare company not only survived for all this time, but also flourished, supported by tens of thousands devoted customers who come back year after year and spread the word far and wide. Today, the company has customers in close to 100 countries – mostly from the word of mouth.

    ”We must be the only company in the world that encourages our customers to buy less skincare products, not more, and we still keep growing,” Shen laughs.

    The company worked with the manufacturer to ensure that the products are of the best quality possible. ”It took us a year of hard work to achieve that goal,” says Shen. ”We started with a product that was disposable, low quality with elements of toxicity and reworked it into a top exfoliation tool we are proud to sell.”

    The company puts a very strong focus on ethics. The materials are ethically sourced, manufactured in a family owned plant with a strong history of fair trade. ”We did not cut any corners,” Shen says. ”We take our responsibility to the Earth and her people very seriously.”

    Fall in love with your skin.

    Baiden Mitten will help improve condition of many skin problems which could have been making your life miserable for years!

    • Feel confident and desirable even without makeup with clearer pores, free of dry, itchy skin.
    • Blackheads and bumpy skin (Keratosis Pilaris) will make a speedy exit
    • Lift up that saggy skin (lose that turkey neck) which ages and makes you look tired and sad.

    New Mexico beauty company plans 49th anniversary celebration this month

    This month Clear Light Urban Farm Store will celebrate their 49th anniversary and debut their brand redesign done in partnership with Sunny505.

    Clear Light started in 1971 by former owner Joshua Peine. After building a successful acting career in Hollywood throughout the 1960’s and armed with a handful of film and television credits, Peine grew tired of auditions, rejections, and head shots. So, he did what thousands of actors did before and after him, and in1970 he left it all behind. He made his way to New Mexico and the small community of Placitas. Peine began packaging cedar needles from the nearby trees in sachets, as gifts for close friends and family. The demand for his small gifts grew into a business.

    One of Clear Light’s flagship products is its Cedar & Piñon Incense, formed out of a day long cooked cedar tea and then mixed with cedar oil and a proprietary gum. The clay-like substance is then run through a mold and dried for four days before it’s packaged for the customers. The incense gained international fame since the Hyatt Regency Tamaya burns it in their lobby 24-hours a day.”

    New Mexico speaks through the buzz of bees, the hubbub of the farmer’s market, the desert wind blowing through cedar branches. A feast for the senses awaits. Clear light is New Mexico.

    In 1971 CLEAR LIGHT laid its roots on the high desert nestled between the Rio Grande River and the Sandia Mountains. Inspired by the area’s electric energy, CLEAR LIGHT set out to create products that reflect life here: vibrant, enchanted, and defined by nature.

    URBAN FARM STORE

    The Clear Light Urban Farm Store started out as just the entryway to the historic downtown Albuquerque building, back when there was only the small skincare spa. Now the Farm Urban Store has grown into a beautiful retail space inside the renovated, historic 9,000 square foot former Danfelser School of Music built in 1940.

    The ultimate in eco-friendly, the building is solar powered and has a catchment system to harvest rainwater to irrigate the farm. It represents their wonderful corner of East Downtown with a curation of artisan products ranging from CLEAR LIGHT cedar apothecary line and our New Mexico TRUE Foods line with Native American potery, local ceramics, books and housewares.

    WILDCRAFTING

    CLEAR LIGHT formulate their Clear Light essences by distilling and extracting fragrance from cedar needles, wildflowers, plants, bark, moss, and tree trimmings that they harvest from nature. CLEAR LIGHT are building new fragrance profiles from the American Southwest. The company is built on the simple idea that nothing smells better than nature and that the only way to bring this beauty home is to strap on your hiking boots and go get it. Unlike synthetic fragrances, these wilderness essences are extracted from real, native-plant sources.

    PROCESS

    These ingredients have been used in the region for thousands of years as it was part of the trade route connecting the Americas with the rest of the world. CLEAR LIGHT infuse this historic knowledge into their artisanal products using innovative practices that combine the best of the past and the present.

    FORMULATION

    All Clear Light products are 100% Natural, Organic and Wildcrafted. They are produced using old perfume making techniques including distillation, tincturing, infusion and enfleurage. CLEAR LIGHT handle every step of the process ourselves, from beginning to end.

    STEWARDSHIP

    All of CLEAR LIGHT plants are wildharvested or grown on their urban farm with the utmost sensitivity and respect for the existing wildscape. CLEAR LIGHT never use alien or invasive species and are actively involved in native plant restoration projects throughout the Southwest. CLEAR LIGHT revel in the intact natural habitats of the southwest, and tirelessly work to promote education as to how best to protect them.

    The X-Static Hairbrush Is The World’s First Anti-Static Brush With Refillable Treatment Sheets

Flexible nylon bristles provide a gentle scalp massage while spreading natural hair oils for improved shine.

Each sheet is infused with shine-boosting elements, and you can refill the brush with a new head in seconds.

    X-Static is designed for all hair types, including color-treated hair. Enjoy an instant beauty boost to tame fly-away strands for a more manageable style. Over time, the follicle-smoothing formula transforms dull, frizzy hair with added shine – no serums, batteries, or heat required!

    • Smooths and reduces static
    • Proudly made in the USA
    • Can be used on wet or dry hair
    • Patent-pending frame and refills

    ForBabs Founder and X-Static hairbrush inventor, Annette Crone, has made it her mission to offer tamed hair, anytime, anywhere, here are her quick fix tips for those struggling with a static, frizzy mane.

    1. Comb with hair spray: Combing with a light hairspray is a great quick fix but can still weigh your hair down and harden in unwanted spots.
    2. Use an Iconic Hair Dryer: Upgrading your hair dryer can do a world of difference, unfortunately sometimes environmental factors fight the force, so you’ll see the difference with new technology, consider an upgrade today!
    3. Extra conditioner: Applying extra conditioner to help weigh down your unwanted, untamed hair, can help but if your hair is thin, it may become greasy.
    4. Moisturizer: Tapping your hair with a good natural hand/body/face moisturizer can help, just may make your hair a little greasy (and why would you waste that on your hair when you pay so much for it to be on your face!)
    5. Dryer Sheets: These are always great to keep in your purse, rubbing the sheet on you head can be a quick fix to the frizz but tends to have a smell and can be harsh on your hair.
    6. X-Static hairbrush: The world’s first all-in-one, anti-static hairbrush, the ForBabs X-Static is engineered to banish static and frizz while fighting fly-aways on all hair types, including color-treated styles, and leave it smelling fresh and clean!

    During periods of extended business travel, Crone continuously battled hair static and fly-aways. This led her to try every available solution, including an old-school hair “hack”: smoothing a dryer sheet over frazzled strands. “I just wasn’t satisfied with any option out there,” she explains. “Dryer sheets felt sterile and awkward, hair static sheets felt far too wet – I knew there had to be a simpler, more effective alternative.” Unable to find the solution she needed, Crone set out to create it for herself.

    About ForBabs:

    Founded by top-level brand marketer and seasoned entrepreneur Annette Crone, ForBabs is the proud US-based brand behind the patent-pending X-Static hairbrush. Tired of struggling with strand static, yet disappointed with the products and “hair hacks” available, Crone set out to develop a truly functional styling solution. The X-Static is the world’s first all-in-one, anti-static hairbrush designed to give an instant beauty boost to wet or dry hair of all types – including color-treated styles. Easy to use and even easier to clean, simply work the brush through strands to instantly tame fly-aways, then tear and toss the sheet to enjoy a clean, fresh brush each time.

    The Solution To Your “Pit Problems” – The Original Underarm Brightening & Deodorant Cream

    Your summer wardrobe of tank tops, sundresses and swimsuits can reveal an embarrassing secret and Forgotten Skincare makes the product we can all raise our arms in excitement for.

    The Original Underarm Brightening & Deodorant Cream has the solution to all of your pit problems and it’s safe for sensitive skin. Swap out that white, chalky deodorant for this all-natural wonder cream that leaves you feeling confident, fresh and smooth.

    While your outer arms show even-toned skin, underneath your armpits are subject to darkness, razor burn irritation, ingrown hairs and unmentionable odor.  It’s easy to assume a product like this is full of harsh and harmful chemicals, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Revealing Your Underarms Should Be Anything But The Pits

    Using natural key ingredients Uva ursi extract and vitamin C, you can get more even-toned underarms and feel confident about raising up your arms this summer.

    • Does not contain synthetic fragrance, hydroquinone, bleach, parabens, silicone or mineral oil.

    • The blend of jojoba oil and aloe vera keeps skin moisturized while the grapefruit oil keeps you smelling fresh and citrusy.

    • Working as a natural deodorant, salicylic acid rejuvenates skin cells to reduce odor-causing bacteria buildup.

    • Light and water-based, it absorbs quickly into skin leaving behind no residue to rinse off.

    Vitamin C and Uva Ursi help to:

    • Reduce underarm darkness and uneven skin tone caused by hyperpigmentation.
    • Leaves underarm hair and skin softer.
    • Prevents ingrowns and soothes any irritation due to razor burn or waxing.
    • Deodorizes naturally leaving you smelling like nothing at all and feeling confident.

    How to use:

    Apply a pea size amount to each underarm morning and night (2X a day total) without using any other deodorant or antiperspirant. If you must use another product while using The OG, then apply The OG first and then apply your additional underarm product.

    • For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and intimate areas. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. We recommended using sunscreen when skin is exposed.
    • This product has not been tested or certified as safe to use while breastfeeding or for pregnant women. Please consult your doctor before use.

    Ingredient Info 

    The ingredients in The OG were chosen specifically for your underarms. We recommend against using The OG on other areas of your body, including your face.

    Forgotten Skincare products are made with the highest quality ingredients sourced from organically grown plants with no traces of parabens, mineral oils or silicones. Bearberry extract (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) enhances brighter, even skin while producing a powerful astringency and anti-inflammatory effect. The antioxidant levels in this plant work to combat free radicals by increasing cell turnover rate. It consists of a substance called arbutin that has been studied to reduce melanin production, the darker pigments in our skin. This ingredient is not hydroquinone but is a derivative of hydroquinone. It works similarly to hydroquinone without the safety concerns, making it a suitable natural lightening alternative for those with sensitive skin. This ingredient is essential to our formula, but it wouldn’t be as effective without the other carefully chosen ingredients.

    About Forgotten Skincare

Created with natural and organic ingredients, The Original is the go-to solution for uneven skin tone, razor burn irritation, ingrown hairs, and embarrassing odor.  Swap out boring deodorant for this natural wonder cream and get ready to feel confident, fresh and smooth.
