    Brooklyn Sensation Over Beauty Serum Spawns National Rollout of Anti-Aging Skincare Line, Ounce of Nature™

    The high-performance botanical skincare line that created a regional frenzy and spawned an anti-aging spa in Brooklyn with a cult following, Ounce of Nature™, is rolling out its product line nationally this month. The skincare brand is headlined by an acclaimed essential oil anti-aging serum, known to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 30 minutes. Hand-crafted with sustainably sourced ingredients, the product line is now available at OunceOfNature.com and Amazon.com. The star serum also comes in a CBD-infused version, which is only available at their Brooklyn Facial Spa.

    The Ounce of Nature™ line features a proprietary blending technique, which in the serum, activates the collagen-boosting qualities in a perfect balance of essential oils carried in a luxuriously nourishing Jamaican castor nut oil. Ingredients for all the SKUs are sourced from the finest terroirs of nature, each packed with nutrient-dense skin-feeding properties. Even the water in the toner and cleanser are carefully infused flower hydrosols, so that every drop of what’s in the bottle is fully functional.

    Founder and CEO, Andres Roban, developed the anti-aging serum after becoming frustrated with the anti-aging skincare options available at retail. Over a two-year period, he focused his energy on cataloging the world’s best anti-aging natural beauty ingredients and their functionalities, which resulted in the signature anti-aging serum that disrupted his Brooklyn neighborhood and turned him into an accidental beauty entrepreneur. The brand name was chosen to describe the one-ounce bottles filled with the most efficacious anti-aging ingredients nature has provided.  All oils used in the skincare line are rated from 0 to 1 in the comedogenic scale.

    “As I neared a certain age,” Roban admits, “I noticed lines on my face for the first time. I purchased 12 of the best-known anti-aging products and followed the instructions. Not one worked. Disillusioned, I threw them all together and dipped into the mix weeks later. I found that it changed the way my skin appeared. This started my journey of fractionating each formula and finding a now proprietary blending technique that activates the ‘best-of’ essential oil ingredients for cutting-edge anti-aging performance. I am thrilled to bring this to the national stage.”

    The product-line includes: Antioxidant Hydrating Cleansing Mousse ($27), Anti-Aging Serum ($150), CBD Anti-Aging Serum ($150 and In-Store only), Green Tea Facial Toner ($35.00), Wildflower Honey, Aloe & Oatmeal Anti-Aging Face Mask ($35.00), Hyaluronic Acid Facial Hydrator with Retinol ($60.00) and Activated Charcoal Bar Soap ($10.99).

    Antioxidant Hydrating Cleansing Mousse

    $27.00 Regular Price
    $21.60Sale Price

    With moistened fingers, gently massage 1-2 pumps onto skin. Add a few drops of water, then lather for 30-60 seconds. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

    To remove eye makeup, gently rub cleansing mousse onto eye area and lashes, being careful not to get it in the eyes. Will not remove waterproof eye makeup.

    Hyaluronic Acid Facial Hydrator with Retinol

    $60.00 Regular Price
    $48.00Sale Price
    Using fingertips, apply 2-3 drops to the entire face, neck, and décolleté. Avoid the eye area. For best results, use at nighttime 15-30 minutes before applying our Ounce Of Nature™ Anti-Aging Serum. This product is perfect for daily use. Ounce Of Nature™ uses Hyaluronic Acid acid that is derived from fermentation of corns, making this a Vegan product.

    Anti-Aging Serum

    $150.00

    Cleanse face with a mild facial soap/cleanser and pat dry. Using the measured dropper(included), add 1/4 dropper – 1 full dropper of Ounce of Nature Anti-Aging Serum into the palm of your hand, careful to avoid spilling. Using your fingertips, dab a light coating of serum on any noticeable fine lines and wrinkles.

    Allow the serum to soak in for 30-60 seconds, then, in a circular motion, use your fingertips to rub the serum into the area/s where it was applied. Rub your palms together and use the excess serum to spread thin over the rest of the face, neck and décolleté.

    IF YOUR FACE IS STILL OILY AND/OR YOUR FINGERS ARE TOO OILY TO SNAP TOGETHER AFTER RUBBING IN THE SERUM, YOU USED WAY TOO MUCH. Remember, a little Ounce of Nature Anti-Aging Serum goes a long way.

    About: Ounce of Nature™( https://www.ounceofnature.com/) is a high-performance botanical skincare line featuring a trademarked blending technique that activates some of the world’s most emollient beauty oils into their most efficacious anti-aging functions. The essential oil serum featuring a luxurious Jamaican castor nut oil, mélange of essential oils, and Retinol and collagen boosters, demonstrates the apparent visible diminishment of fine lines and wrinkles in thirty minutes. At the heart of the brand are best-in-class ingredients as each oil is sourced from the richest terroirs of the world and are rated from 0 to 1 in the comedogenic scale. It all began when the signature serum caused such a stir in a New York City neighborhood, that it birthed an underground anti-aging spa frequented by those of a certain age.

    Healing The World – Garner’s Garden, 100% Natural Skin Care

    For some, living a healthy, natural lifestyle is an easy and attainable goal. For others, finding and using natural products at an affordable price point can be somewhat of a challenge.

    With a variety of safe, natural products from Garner’s Garden, everyone can live the naturally healthy lifestyle they deserve. The all-powerful oxygen molecule from their oral care products will protect you from oral disease, such as the Natural Mouthwash. Keep your skin healthy and glowing with a variety of body products from Garner’s Garden like their handcrafted, cold-pressed soaps that come in a variety of scents,  their talcum-free formula body powder, their Natural Deodorant that comes in three varieties of protection: Baking Soda Free, Regular Strength and Extra Strength, body butter and more.

    Years of research and development have led us to create the best natural and fluoride free oral care products on the market today. When brushing just isn’t enough, the all-powerful oxygen molecule will protect you from oral disease.

    Natural Mouthwash

    Garner’s Garden all natural mouthwash is fluoride free and made with 3% or 1.5% Food Grade H202 which will assist in healing a variety of dental issues such as cavities, gingivitis, gum disease, etc. Our natural mouthwash is not only antibacterial, it is also antiviral, anti-fungal and it whitens teeth naturally! The peppermint and tea tree essential oil is a great remedy for bad breath and inflammation of the mouth and throat. For best results with our natural mouthwash, use the directions below as a healthier substitute to toothpaste. *This product DOES NOT contain fluoride (which is a good thing).

    Please choose between two strength options: Regular or Reduced Strength. Most customers choose the regular strength mouthwash, but if you have sensitive areas in your mouth and you have not yet used this mouthwash before, you might want to start out with the reduced strength until your mouth fully heals. If not, the healing oxygen particles may irritate your gums/teeth/etc because the oxygen is going directly to the problem areas and immediately start the healing process.

    Benefits of ingredients:

    Peppermint Essential Oil: combats bad breath, helps reduce oral pain and has antiviral, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties that may help reduce any potential infection.

    Tea Tree Essential Oil: kills the bacterium associated with halitosis and highly effective in treating gingivitis/gum disease.

    Cinnamon Essential Oil (optional): has the greatest antimicrobial potency against streptococcus mutans, the bacteria responsible for tooth decay, and lactobacillus plantarum, one of the bacteria responsible for gum disease.

    Food Grade H2O2: decreases plaque formation, controls “pyorrhea” (gum disease), and it effectively stops cavities from increasing in size.

    Raw and unrefined ingredients taken and used to masterfully craft the perfect blends of natural oils, butters, soaps, and therapeutic grade essential oils. You deserve the best.

    Natural Body Oil

    The natural body oil has a variety of scents and aromas that will please all of your senses. Each natural body oil includes ingredients such as, rice bran, sweet almond, jojoba, and vitamin E oil that will serve as a moisturizing blend that not only softens the skin but also rejuvenates the natural glow.

    Body Butter – Various Scents

    Treat your skin to the whipped body butter made out of the finest ingredients. After the first use, you will see and feel a noticeable difference in the softness and glow of your skin. This is the ultimate pamper product for daily use!

    This is the most luxurious whipped body butter on that you can purchase. Not only does it provide moisture to your skin, but because it is made with beeswax, it will lock moisture into your skin all day long!

    African Black Soap

    Fragrance-free African Black Soap made in Ghana is a natural remedy for all skin types. This African black soap will help with a variety of skin problems such as acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Highly recommend pairing African Black Soap with Garner’s Garden Moisturizing Body Oil and Normalizing Face Oil in order to reduce the likelihood of dryness of the skin and to receive the maximum benefit of our African Black Soap.

    Natural Body Powder – Talc Free

    This unscented, all-natural talcum powder free body powder will keep your skin dry while providing a slight deodorizing effect when applied to the skin. Use this powder everywhere on your body that you want to keep dry and fresh. Safe to use on adults and children.

    Activated Charcoal Natural Deodorant

    The Flex Brush and Spray – The Ultimate Detangling Duo for Wet & Dry Hair

    The ideal gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list is The Flex Brush™, the ultimate detangling brush. With an incredibly versatile design, The Flex Brush™ is great for aging hair, thin or fine hair, sensitive scalps, children’s hair, thick or coarse hair, men’s hair and hair extensions. The Flex Brush™ acts as a detangler that can be used to blow dry and style hair, and keeps hair healthy by decreasing damage with its gentle bristles and flexible spine.

    To avoid damaging hair during daily brushing and styling, celebrity hair stylist Angelo David, owner Angelo David Salon in New York City, partnered with hair-tool veteran Jacob Guttman, founder and CEO of Creative Pro Hair tools, to create The Flex Brush™. Unlike most conventional hair brushes, the spine of The Flex Brush™ moves forward and back, and side to side. As you brush your hair, it will move with the curvature of your scalp. This helps it naturally detangle the hair and work with it, rather than against it.  To compliment The Flex Brush™, they also developed Flex Spray–a revolutionary leave-in conditioner that increases the hair’s flexibility in order to decrease damage while styling and detangling.

    The Flex Brush XL Mixed Bristle

    $25.95
    SKU: FB-XL-M

    The Flex Brush brush bends and flexes to perfectly meet the contours of your scalp.

    Soft bristles made from boar bristle and flexible nylon is recommended for fine and medium hair textures and for sensitive scalps. Not suitable for tight, coiled hair or very thick curly hair.

    • The Flex Brush XL Mixed Bristle is ideal for all hair types and perfect for extensions.
    • The “Flex” duo detangles safely, massages the scalp and promotes healthy hair and hair growth. The brush’s versatility combined with its flex technology make it the most versatile brush on the market.
    • Curly or straight – dry or wet: The Flex Brush molds to the curvature of your head, detangling knotted hair and cleaning your scalp.
    • The Flex Brush provides the perfect amount of pressure and stimulation, not hurting your scalp and not tearing at your hair like ridged brushes.
    • The Flex Brush maintains direct contact with your scalp, easily detangling hair, flexing to release knots gently rather than tearing through the tangle.
    • The Flex Brush massages your scalp and stimulates your capillaries, therefore increasing blood circulation in your scalp and transporting oxygen and nutrients to the hair stem, root and bulb.
    • The bristle is harvested humanly and sheared the same way wool is sheared. No harm to the animal.
    • The Flex Brush sizes can be used on all hair lengths.

    To order yours or to purchase it as a gift, visit www.theflexbrush.com

    Angelo David Salon is located at 420 Madison Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10017
