The 40th Anniversary Herbal Body Wash will evoke nostalgia in long-term, loyal Nature’s Gate customers, while introducing a new generation to the heritage of the brand. The vintage bottle, logo and label design are reminiscent of the original Herbal Rainwater Shampoo, while the gentle, moisturizing formula combines the same herbal aroma and botanical extracts used in Nature’s Gate’s first product 40 years ago.

Shea butter moisturizes the skin while sweet almond oil nourishes and infuses skin with vitamin E. Both sage and lavender keep skin looking youthful and healthy while chamomile and yarrow are chock full of anti-inflammatory and skin calming properties. The disinfectant and antibiotic properties of rosemary and thyme contribute to healthier, clearer and smoother skin.

Elastin-rp Is a New Three-Step System
• Elastin-rp ($28-$89) is a brand-new, specially formulated three-step regimen that’s clinically proven to help reverse this loss of elastin, the true source of skin aging, in just three weeks, according to the company.

The secret is the exclusive BioLastin Complex, a combination of essential bioactive nutrients that help stimulate the skin’s ability to replenish elastin and collagen. It targets wrinkles at their source and improves elasticity in the skin, which means a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With regular use, skin will begin to look younger and more radiant. Sepitonic M3, a triple action antioxidant that recharges the cell’s batteries and combats free radicals, powers the BioLastin Complex.

At the core of the Elastin-rp product line is a twice-daily three-step regimen to rebuild elastin: Deep Cleansing Gel (Step 1); Intensive Treatment Serum (Step 2); and Replenishing Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 and Replenishing Night Cream (Step 3). Additional Elastin-rp products for general skin maintenance and health include: Exfoliating Treatment Scrub; Replenishing Treatment Mask and Skin Replenishment Oil.
