Embracing Nature’s Embrace is Magical
Embracing Nature’s Embrace: The Dawn of a New Era in Skin Remedies is MAGIC by Wendy Steele Over the past twenty years, we have received many comments from customers.

She loves Island Rx, and he is a Windsurfer fan. They complained about missing work because of the experience. That was 15 years ago, and they are still together and buying our…

Your Silent Guardian
The Silent Guardian: Unveiling the Epic Saga of Our Skin and the Crusade to Shield Its Majesty by Wendy Steele I am reminded on the anniversary of my own Melanoma that our skin will protect us only if we protect it. In the grand tapestry of the human body, where each organ plays its pivotal role, there lies a silent guardian, vast and vigilant. This guardian is none other than our skin, the largest organ of our body, a magnificent marvel that envelops us in its protective embrace. Yet, amidst the cacophony of our routines,…

Solar Rx – Sold Out & Discontinued
From Wendy Steele, Keys CEO, and Melanoma Survivor: September 12, 2022 Due to President Biden’s CARES Act legislation, I have decided to discontinue Solar Rx Moisturizer with Sunscreen and KPRO Tinted Moisturizer with Sunscreen. President Biden COVID-19 and Sunscreen What does sunscreen have to do with COVID-19? It is a mystery.

Social Media Stealing Your Privacy?
For over fifteen years, Keys has strived to develop products that solve skin problems and make people feel good using natural ingredients and remedies. For the last five years, we have battled fake news by fake people playing the 'natural car' when they are far from it. Their tool has been social media, and their game is false claims. I see it every day, and you are the ultimate victim. Well, the bullshit is about to end.

Online Grocery Shopping – C-19 A Grocery Shopping Game Changer For Me.
Funny as it may seem, the one thing about C-19 that I enjoy is not shopping. I hate to grocery shop, so Bob does it most of the time. He hates shopping as well and has been an online buyer since the first eCommerce stores began in the '90s. He was one of the first subscribers to eBay and Amazon knows him by his first name. With the stay at home orders, it was the impetus for me to embrace online grocery shopping. InstaCart, Sprouts, and Wal-Mart have facilitated this change in a good way.

Take a prescription topical, grow your eyelashes…are you kidding me?
by Wendy Steele, Keys CEO I did a double-take when I read some hoopla about a drug company suing a cosmetic company over an ingredient that they both touted as a miraculous eyelash growth ingredient. Then I saw a commercial where a celebrity was touting the growth of her eyelashes to taking this prescription topical (never mind all of potential side effects they mention)? YIKES! I thought about my teen years, as that was when my eyelashes started becoming the focus of my attention and quest for “beautiful long lashes”. Being the only girl with two brothers, I…
