We've all been taught this flawed system for skin care: 1. Spray toner, 2. Vitamin C Serum, 3. Eye serum, 4. Toning Gel serum, 5. Face Cream, 6. Sunscreen, 7. Foundation, 8. Powder, 9. Blush, 10, Eye makeup and other makeup. For each of these layers, you're adding gels (made from gums), fillers, another preservative for each layer, and emulsifiers (waxes that bind water & oil so it doesn't separate). All of these layers sit on your skin night and day.
Many skin care and cosmetic companies are promoting this flawed system not because it helps your skin... it is to put more money in their pockets. The more products you buy from them, the more money they make. But what if there is a different way? What if skin care could be a nutritional supplement for your skin instead of layers of toxic preservatives mixed with fillers?
We as conscious men and women need to look carefully at what we put in and on our bodies. The fact is, many people are on to the truth about toxins in skin care... but are not getting the entire picture of what is wrong with the skin care industry. We want organic products, but fail to see that many organic skin creams still have pore-clogging emulsifying waxes, fillers and preservatives as a non organic skin cream.. even if these so called organic products include some high quality ingredients.
Let me ask a question here. Who decided cream was a good thing anyway?
Women are taught that the only thing that makes them valuable is looking young. We are taught that smiling can cause wrinkles and so we need to freeze our faces and stop smiling and making natural facial expressions. How sad! We have been taught that cosmetics can make us look younger, and people will go to great expense to look younger, not aware of the scam of the cosmetics industry.
We aren't taught the darker underlying truth that many cosmetic and skin care products have harmful ingredients that can clog pores and damage your skin permanently. When I opened my spa, I met dozens of estheticians who went to beauty school only to be taught the same flawed system, and the majority of them walked in with terrible skin, until they started working with us and using our clean products.
When we put toxins, emulsifying waxes, gums, foundation, and powders, and a film of preservatives for each layer, our skin gets overwhelmed and can't breathe. Alternatively when we give our skin the nutrition it needs, and reduce the amount of layers we apply, the skin cells start to function the way they are supposed to, and scars, rough spots, wrinkles, sunspots and acne naturally start to resolve.
Plus, insecurities fade away when your health and skin radiate with health, bringing out a youthful glow, and you feel good! Your skin will thank you when you give your skin the nutrition it needs without all those extra fillers and harmful chemicals. This allows your skin to breathe and recover, evening your skin tone and lessening the need for makeup.
That's why we created a daily skincare routine that is only 3 super nutrient-packed products: everything you need for daily skin care.
• SOCO Anti Aging Elixir: the ultimate all in one face oil & moisturizer designed to replace all other layers including serum, night cream, eye cream and day cream. This oil is designed to effectively moisturize and lock in the skin's natural hydration, while delivering anti aging nutrients to the deeper layers of the skin.
• SOCO Citrus Gem Cleanser & Enzyme Peel is a gentle & lightweight gel cleanser that is super loaded with amazing ingredients including exfoliating fruit enzymes, cucumber, hyaluronic acid, green tea and essential oils. Rinse off or leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing for a gentle enzyme exfoliating peel.
• SOCO Black Lava Scrub is a rich and luxurious detoxifying facial scrub & mask that is gentle enough for daily use. Rinse off or leave on for 10 minutes as a detox mask.
For best results, alternate with these 2 cleansers whenever you wash your face. The enzymes in the Citrus Gem will then soften the skin so that when you scrub, the dead skin cells will come off more easily, allowing your skin glow with radiance. Using these 2 cleansers prepares your skin so that the SOCO Symphony can absorb deeply and do its job, giving your skin the nutrition it needs.

I am interested in being authentic, not perfect. I believe it is our responsibility to seek the truth and take care of our health and our family's health. Looking deeper into what is true for us starts with seeking the truth about the reality we live in. I recommend starting with writing out a list of what you stand for and what you don't stand for: your core beliefs. Then you can spend your time and hard earned dollars on what truly resonates with your core beliefs.
I started this product line after many years of suffering from Hashimoto's Thyroid disease, Lyme and Mold Toxicity. I knew I needed to get toxic chemicals out of my life and eat clean foods and avoid harmful skin care products. When I was sick, I doubted if I would ever be well again. With a transformative commitment to a new clean lifestyle I've gotten my health back and am thriving.
At SOCO Botanicals we have a skin care line that is uncompromising on quality, safety and efficacy. I can promise you will never find a questionable, harmful ingredient in our products. Each and every product and ingredient is researched, trialed and tested before we put it on our shelves.
Thank you for trusting us with your health... and with your beautiful face.
