The Power of NAD+: Unlocking Youthful Skin with Nature’s Elixir
The Power of NAD+ For years, our customers have shared the power properties of our MetaCare lotion. Surprisingly, about half of the customer reflections are about how MetaCare sidelines many skin disorders thought to be incurable by leading dermatologists. What has always amazed us is that about half of the comments have been about how MetaCare reinvigorates the skin, especially on the face, neck, and hands. We have figured out why, believing we have found the answer. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a vital coenzyme that plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and overall skin health. As we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decline, leading to visible signs of…

The Future of Anti-Aging: How Epigenetic Skincare is Changing the Game
Epigenetic skincare is an emerging field that focuses on using ingredients and treatments to influence gene expression in skin cells, with the goal of slowing or reversing the visible signs of aging. Epigenetics refers to external factors that can modify DNA activity without changing its sequence. These factors, such as sun exposure, pollution, diet, and stress, can activate or deactivate certain parts of our genetic code, influencing how our skin ages. Epigenetic skin care targets specific genes or molecular pathways to promote beneficial effects like boosting collagen production, improving cell regeneration, and reducing inflammation. For example, some epigenetic ingredients have been shown to increase levels of microRNA molecules like mir-146a…

Out with the Old Bar: The Superior Suds of Liquid Soaps for Modern Cleanliness
Embrace Radiant Skin: Discover the Gentle Power of Liquid Soaps for Ultimate Cleanliness and Skin Health Over the years, we have been asked why we make only liquid soaps. Bar soap is widespread, and natural bar soap is impossible to make with the essential oil combinations that we insist on using. Ironically, it is the same reason we cannot make lip balms. The formulations will not permit the essential oil needed for the soap to be effective. Conversely, liquid Castile and Castile-like soaps are excellent carriers for large amounts of essential oils needed to be effective and therapeutic. Liquid soaps, particularly natural and organic ones, have become increasingly popular for…

Future of Natural Skincare
The Future of Natural Skincare: Innovations to Watch For In 2024 Nowadays, much of the natural products industry seems stalled and very introspective.

A few of us are carrying the torch of innovation and discovery. There are lots of exciting things going on behind the curtains. So what will the future bring for skincare.

The Mythical Origins and Evolution of Acidic Skin Treatments
The Origins and Evolution of Acidic Skin Treatments: From Historical Curiosities to Modern Skincare The Origins of My Interest Recently I got into a squabble with the author of a paper published on NIH PubMed. The author quoted the basis of their paper on two dudes that I would have to categorize as snake oil salesmen from the 1890s as a basis for why people need to use acid treatments on their face to balance the skin. Basically, the two dudes were pitching apple cider as a toner for women to use for a more youthful appearance. Now over a hundred years later, things have still not changed much in…

Collagen Restoring Oils For Youthful Skin – A Keys® Tradition
Collagen-restoring oil is a type of moisturizer that contains collagen-rich ingredients like avocado oil, black seed oil, carrot seed oil, and other plant oils-rosins. It is designed to improve collagen production in the skin, giving it a smooth and youthful look. Collagen restoring oil can be used on the face or body and is known to restore elasticity, tightness, and even tone. Some collagen restoring oils also contain additional ingredients like Vitamin C, Omega 3’s, and Glycerin to restore lost elasticity and firmness. Collagen restoring oil can help soothe and nourish “stressed” skin, promote collagen synthesis, and offer minor protection from skin damage caused by UV rays and pollutants. Many…

Eczema – It’s Probably the Chemicals in Your Life!
Eczema is a catchall term for a lot of doctors. The cause is unknown, but some of us suspect chemicals in everyday products. Common culprits for chemically induced eczema are sulfates in laundry detergents, PEG (propylene glycol) in just about everything, and parabens (a biocide in most products). So, we have heard from our customers that finding the cause of skin irritation is much more important than giving it a name. Doc’s want to name it so they can prescribe steroids and topical antibiotics. This seems to make things worse, with usually a fast relief and then a return of the irritation with a vengeance. Our customers tell us that…

Keys® Island Rx Foaming Wash – Try It for a fresher clean
Island Rx Foaming Wash – Feel the Micellar difference. The Keys Island Rx Foaming Wash is a natural skincare product that cleans and nourishes the skin. The core Island Rx liquid soap was designed and made nearly twenty years ago for our CEO and founder, Wendy Steele. Her skin was so sensitive post Melanoma, and all the prescription products worsened it. Regular Castile soaps like Dr. Bronner helped, but they were still too harsh and alkaline. Island Rx was invented for her as a safer and milder alternative. Most Castile soaps have a micellar set of properties. Later, we put Island Rx into a foamer to air-dilute the micellar cleanser…

Nextra® NeoRetinol – Exceeding Expectations
Nextra® NeoRetinol Discovery – Better Than Retinol “I am in my 60’s and have been using Retinol for decades. By far, it is the best skincare product ever invented. I have purchased Retinol in tiny tubes for over $300 each for years, and it has been worth it until Nextra® NeoRetinol. When Bob Root researched and invented NeoRetinol, I was skeptical; how was it possible to recreate a Retinol that can be used every day, in the sun and without side effects. I started using Nextra NeorRetinol over a year ago, and I use it every day with none of the side effects of Retinol. It is amazing, and it…

Island Rx For Hair Growth
Island Rx Liquid Soap/Shampoo has been a Key® staple product for nearly twenty-four years. It was the product that Pfizer scientists applauded for its efficacy and clean-green design. It was one of our first four products and was the first developed for Wendy’s fight with Melanoma. Over the years Island Rx has been around, we discovered some interesting properties of Island Rx liquid soap that were pretty amazing. One of many was hair growth in men and women with short thinning hair. Why? Island Rx’s base soap is Castile-like. We mixed oils to ensure that the hydroxide used to saponify was complete. This meant the soap would still be slightly…

Keys® VaporJel & Eye Butter for Chapped Lips
Why Invent Something New When It Already Exists Over the years, we have received hundreds of requests for lip balm for chapped and cracked lips. I have resisted because we already have two great products that do the job better than any waxy lip balm I could design. Keys® Eye Butter and VaporJel are those two solutions. They both work wonderfully in two distinct ways. Eye Butter is a Shea butter and cucumber extract-based balm/cream with effective oils to soothe soft tissue around the eyes. It also works so well for the lips that we added “lips” to the box and label. As an everyday lip balm, you can wear…
