What has improved?

Foundations: (expected Nov 1)

All foundations were reformulated - there are now 4 colors of liquid foundations and 2 compact foundations as well as a Tinted Moisturizer(available NOW). There is a new ingredient used, an all natural Silica- Mineral, that will make the complexion appear soft, silky and smooth.

All items are non-comodegenic, they are all light and don't clogg the pores.

Powders and Shadows: (partially available)

In all products, we are no longer using Talc, but a natural Rice-Powder, which is especially suitable for very sensitive skin types. Furthermore, Rice Powder is popular as it is used by Makeup artists in the film industry, it gives a matt look to the skin and so works well on stage & for photography.

Mascaras: (available NOW)

First of all: Rest assured, our all time favorite, our Volume Mascara is still available! The new items are: Intense Volume Mascara, Double Black Mascara, Lengthening Mascara, and a clear Style & Care Gel. In all Mascara products, we are using Licorice root extract, Beeswax and Seabuckthorn to offer lasting and shine effect. A new ingredient we are using is from the Camelina plant - it gives a quick drying effect, so the staying power of the product is improved.

The formulations are compatible with the new brushes and silk was added to obtain even more Volume.

Eyeliners: (expected Nov 1)

All eyeliners were improved. Key ingredients are Jojoba oil, Shea butter, Carnauba wax and Vitamin E. They are soft and stay on very well.

We also offer a new Eyebrow Pencil and a new Liquid Eyeliner in 2 shades, black and brown.

Lipsticks: (partially available)

All Lipstick formulations were reformulated to achieve a longer lasting and more smooth look. The key ingredients are: Shea butter, Cocoa butter and Coconut butter. Due to the Silica-mineral used, a stronger pigmentation and color effect can be achieved also.

Also new are two shades of soft lipliner: apricot beige and plum brown

Ingredients & NaTrue Certification Improvements:

A higher concentration for Certified Organic Ingredients is used in the new formulations. For some items, such as the Powders and Liquid Foundations, the percentage is 95%.

Days at the beach, summer vacations, and time spent with family may be memories.  But summertime skin is still a reality.

Fresh, glowing, bronzed skin is possible any time of year with Lavera Self Tanners.  Pure natural ingredients impart sun-kissed color with no nasty ingredients.  Sugar actives and vegetable-derived DHA (Dihydroxyactone) react with the skin’s amino acids resulting in a natural looking tan.  The safe alternative to chemical tanners.

For a beautifully bronzed body choose from Lavera Sunless Tanning Lotion or Glow & Go Spray.  Both deliver natural, streak-free results with easy application.  For quick tanning with a bit of shimmer opt for Glow & Go Spray.  Spritz on and blend into skin.  If you desire a bit more hydration with your tanner, go for Sunless Tanning Lotion.  Goes on like body lotion and both products possess a fresh, fabulous scent.

If you are not quite ready to use foundation or bronzer to keep your face summer-ized, FACES Summer Glow Facial Moisturizer is just what you need.  May be used as a regular facial moisturizer, but includes a bit of self tanner for added color.  Super subtle, this long lasting color will not wash off and looks oh-so-natural.  Go from pale to perfect – quick and easy.

You may have to say goodbye to summer (for now) but not to your summer glow.

Perfect Tan Clearance Kit - Save 30% on the Self Tan Lotion and Summer Glow Facial Tanner – the perfect combination for extending that summer tan.

Hot off the Press:
FDA confirms prevalence of Lead in Lipsticks!

We've reported in the past that a number of mainstream brands contain lead as a contaminant in their lipsticks, based on a study conducted by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics in 2007. Now a new FDA study finally confirms that conclusion.

According to a Sept 1, 2009 press release by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics:
"FDA found lead in all 20 lipsticks it tested, at levels ranging from 0.09 parts per million (ppm) to 3.06 ppm – more than four times higher than the highest lead level of 0.65 reported in the 2007 CSC study. FDA used a new testing method to analyze lipstick and concluded that earlier methods likely underestimated the amount of lead in lipstick."

In fact, the highest measured Lead Level of 3.06ppm is 30 times more than the FDA's own 0.1ppm limit of Lead for candy. Since Lead builds up in the body over time, this really is cause for concern. And given that an average woman consumes 6 or more pounds of lipstick over the course of her lifetime, do we really want to be using lead contaminated lipstick, regardless of the lead level?

Time to stop wearing lipsticks? You don't have to - there are safe choices out there! Lavera Lipsticks come in a variety of vivid colors, are lead-free and as recently as August 2009, was given top marks by the highly critical German consumer advocacy magazine Oeko-Test in its lipstick review. All Lavera products are made with pharmaceutical grade ingredients of the highest purity. This means that common contaminants such as lead will not be present in Lavera products.

In July 2009, we started the Lavera Lipstick Exchange so that consumers could send in their lead contaminated lipsticks and we'll color match with a Lavera Lipstick and send them a PROMO CODE for $10 off any non-clearance lipstick purchase. Due to the popularity of this program, we've extended the Lavera Lipstick Exchange til the end of 2009. Check out our lipsticks and take advantage of our $10 off promotion!
