Whole Food for the skin. Because what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it!
<p><span class="font_8"><span class="color_34">Over 7 years ago, after repeated trips to the dermatologist to cure her children's eczema, KYI's founder, Samantha Butts, turned to shea butter. She was amazed that it not only cleared up their red, irritated skin, but applied daily, it prevented reoccurences completely. One night after running out of her regular night cream, she slathered whipped shea butter all over her face. She was amazed at the results after just one application and declared "This stuff is spackle for all those lines on my face!" She began researching how and why shea butter was so effective when the other luxury products she used for years were not. It turns out that shea butter, like many other of nature's oils, is jammed packed with essentail fatty acids and natural anti-oxidants and that the skin, the body's largest living organ, absorbs what is put on it transdermally. Like the food you put in your body, if you feed your skin healthy food, it will actually look and feel healthier.</span></span></p> <p>Samantha began to search for other products she could use that were "all natural, minimally processed, whole food" for her skin. She discovered that Argan Oil is fantastic as a day moisturizer for her face but that she wanted it to have something more. So she researched and added an oil soluble Vitamin C. After a few weeks of use, Samantha, again, was astounded by how effective the results were. Her skin was firmer, brighter and smoother. </p> <p><span class="font_8"><span class="color_34">Samantha started to give her products to her friends and to provide them in goody bags for wedding favors. She was overwhelmed when people started contacting her asking her for more of the products. </span></span></p> <p>Samantha started KYI because, like her, she realized that many other women search for natural products that are devoid of unnecessary and unnatural chemicals. Reading the ingredient labels, over half of the ingredients on so-called “natural” products were obviously NOT natural. LIke herself, she realized that other women also make the effort to select foods that are natural and minimally processed and that they too believe that the products they use on their body should follow suit. If you are careful to eat wholesome, natural foods that nourish the body, why wouldn’t you also want to use products on your body that are wholesome, unprocessed and healthy?</p> <p>So Samantha decided to create KYI, Know Your Ingredients, to provide "whole food" skin care products, in their raw, or almost raw, state: shea butter, argan oil, sweet almond oil. Products that work just as well, and most often much better, than the products with those unpronounceable chemicals.</p> <p>KYI offers all of its products either unscented or fragranced lightly with more good stuff from nature, essential oils of litsea cubea, chamomile, lavender, orange, mandarin and grapefruit.</p> <p><span class="font_8"><span class="color_34">At KYI, our goal is to create natural, simple products that have little or no processing using the highest quality ingredients available to produce extremely effective results.</span></span></p> <p>We think the products speak for themselves. Try them. We think you’ll agree.</p>
