Article Sings the Sweet Praises of Berries in Skin Care

A number of benefits highlighted found within Sevique Skin Care products.

In their current issue, American Spa magazine pulls together the latest expert advice on the numerous benefits provided when berries are used in skin care and with their four berry complex, Sevique is excited to underscore some of their findings.

The article credits the prevalence of berries in skin care products and spa treatments because of their high concentration of age fighting antioxidants which help maintain a young and radiant complexion by fighting cell-damaging free radicals. But berries are also championed for their anti-infammitory and healing proprieties as well.

To excerpt from the article’s research findings: Many berries offer serious healing benefits thanks to ellagic and gallic acids, quercetin, and vitamin C, which have proven anti-carcinogenic effects in colon, esophageal, liver, lung, tongue, and skin cancers, according to the Oregon Raspberry & Blackberry Commission and research conducted at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Along with other benefits, berries also contain acids that are effective in healing blemish-prone skin, making them an ideal ingredient in facials. “As a whole, the biggest point I find incredible is the ellagic acid the berries produce, one of the most powerful and strongest antioxidants,” says Rachel Wilkerson, spa director at Spa at Sanderling (Duck, NC). “Berries are very good for healing acne, because the acids in them help to disintegrate bacteria causing the infections.”

Sevique Skin Care features a unique anti-aging skin care formulation called the ‘Four Berry Complex’ made from a rare blend of Gogi berry, Sea Buckthorn berry, Cranberry and Blueberry all mentioned in the article as ingredients that create an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powerhouse, but the complex is also an excellent source of vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. The very rare Omega-7 is also available thanks to Sea Buckthorn berry.

Sevique, an elegant new skin care line, blends the highest quality natural ingredients with the most advance skin care science resulting in a simple, seven product, line that has amazing results with almost all skin types and is currently available through select salons and spas as well as online.

Oscars 2014: Suite Lowdown

by DaySpa Magazine

Los Angeles played host to the Academy Awards this past weekend, and DAYSPA was lucky enough to snag an invitation to the TMG Beauty & Style Destination Pre-Oscar Luxury Suite, held in the swanky penthouse suites at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Beverly Hills.

Representatives from more than a dozen companies including skin- and haircare brands were available to discuss their latest offerings.

First we stopped by the Surface Hair Care zone, where stylists were blowing out attendees’ ’dos to perfection. Here we caught up with Wayne Grund, founder of the Canadian company, and snagged a sample of the divine-smelling açai and blueberry body lotion from the body collection.

Nearby, we were treated to a much-needed brow grooming—using the gone-in-the-blink-of-an-eye threading technique—courtesy of the fast-fingered folks from s.h.a.p.e.s Brow Bar, which has locations in malls in seven states, including California.

OPI was on hand for manicures. We plumped for the gorgeous purple hue—Next Stop… the Bikini Zone, from the Brazil Collection—and though it didn’t quite prepare us for a trip to the beach, thanks to the rare torrential downpours drenching L.A. at the time, it did put us in the mood for a spot of (fake) tanning, so we headed over to chat with the lovely ladies from Ireland-based Cocoa Brown.

Next stop, lashes! Reps from Bay Area-based I Candy Eye Salon was extending a warm welcome to guests and giving them what every Angeleno craves—an Oscar-worthy flutter.

This being L.A., no one wanted to pass up the chance for a quick “lift,” and the facial zone, where Sevique was providing anti-aging custom facials, was particularly popular. The clinical-yet-natural skincare brand, which launched at the end of 2013, was founded by Susan Nickell in response to a devastating breast cancer and lymphoma diagnosis. In true L.A. fashion, Nickell shared with us her real age—we were incredulous—before dashing off to catch a plane!

"Glee" stars Dot-Marie Jones and Ashley Fink and "Shameless" bad boy Cameron Monaghan picked up goodies from ARIVA Jewelry, beauty products from Galaxy Lash, Surface Haircare, Sevique and LifenSoul bluetooth earphones.

From the Flathead to the Oscars

When Susan Nickell launched her Flathead-based business of skin-care products last December, the company had high hopes for its Sevique and Relevance lines. But no one could have guessed that just two months after the launch, the products would be part of Hollywood’s biggest night.

Nickell and the company’s general manager Kim Briggs went to California for the 2014 Academy Awards, where their products would be part of the TMG International Pre-Oscar Luxury Suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Speaking in the company’s shipping warehouse west of Kalispell before heading to California for the Oscars, Briggs said the public relations company heard about Sevique, an anti-aging skin care line, and asked for samples.

“We sent them the product, they liked what they saw, and the rest is history,” Briggs said. 
Sevique, and its clinical counterpart Relevance, launched last December. It is the brainchild of Nickell, a long-time Kalispell resident who, after a battle with breast cancer and lymphoma, developed her own products to help her skin recover from the cancer treatments while also getting away from harsh chemicals.

She developed a product that is formulated to be soothing and allow the skin to use its natural defenses and keep its natural components safe, Briggs said. It has also worked well with blemish-prone skin, she said, which allows for a broadened market.

After developing the product, Nickell headquartered Sevique’s parent company, Glacier Labs Inc., in Kalispell. The skin-care products are manufactured in California, Briggs said.

The facility on Whalebone Drive west of Kalispell is used for packaging and shipping, Briggs said, and it has plenty of potential for expansion. Which the company may need – so far, Sevique and Relevance have tested well locally and across the country, she said.

Before the company launched in December 2013, the product was already in the warehouse by May. This meant the company spent time shipping it out to various retailers, Briggs said, and getting feedback.

The overall goal is to be known at spas and dermatological offices nation wide, Briggs said.

“From conception, we always saw this as a national brand,” she said, adding, “The Oscars will be a huge part of it.”

At the luxury suite, Briggs and Nickell were be able to network with industry and media professionals to get the word out about their products, and a skin expert managed two estheticians who applied the products to whomever stopped by.

Briggs believes one of the biggest selling points of the skin-care products will be their blend of natural products and scientific know-how; each product sample card comes with easy-to-understand ingredient guides, she said, and so far clients have responded well to that.

While Sevique is the product line available at salons and spas, the company’s Relevance line is marketed toward dermatology and plastic surgery professionals. Currently, both products are the same, Briggs said, but in the future, the company hopes to tailor the Relevance line to the needs of doctors.

Shea Ciaramitaro, the company’s vice president and Nickell’s son, said the Oscars are a “huge opportunity” for the company.

“It was amazing it was this fast,” he said of the company’s progress.

Briggs said that while the company is in its nascent stages, she believes there is potential to bring jobs to the Flathead, with sales representatives and shipping and receiving personnel.

While the future sorts itself out for the company, Briggs said the goal is to make it through the Oscars event successfully, and see where it takes them.

“It’s very exciting,” Briggs said.

Sevique Reports Single Most Overlooked Secret to Better Looking Skin During Winter

Most people are aware of the damaging effects of the sun's UV rays – which is why sunblock sales typically hit the roof during the summer season. However during the cold winter months, many assume that with the sun "hiding”, they can skip use of skin protection products.

According to skin care industry experts, sun protection in the winter is just as important as in the summer months.

"During the winter months, many people think that they already avoid UV damage because they are not sunbathing. However, nothing can be further from the truth," Susan Nickell, Sevique skin care founder explains.

Nickell is quick to emphasize the importance for women who care for their skin to educate themselves about sun block being as necessary in the winter as it is during the summer months.

"While you might not feel sun burn in the winter, you are exposed to sun damage from the UV rays," added Nickell. “Studies show that protecting your skin with an SPF is the single most important step to maintaining the longevity of a youthful appearance.”

True to its principle of bringing together the best nature has to offer with the most advanced skin care science, Sevique highlights the benefits of its easy to apply Dawn til Dark SPF 35 Moisturizer. Offering full protection from UVA and UVB exposure, the product is ideal for active individuals who ski or face the outdoor elements during the winter and can be effortlessly applied.

The key ingredients of Sevique's SPF moisturizer include Allantoin, a plant-based compound that helps treat acne, eczema and psoriasis; aloe vera leaf to soothe skin irritations; algae extract that treats damaged and aging skin; as well as beeswax, which boasts antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties with excellent moisture retention.

Sevique's SPF moisturizer is light weight, suitable for use with most skin types and doesn’t have a greasy feel which can sometimes make SPF use uncomfortable and can even lead to clogged pores and breakouts.

Sevique’s four berry complex of Blueberry, Cranberry, Gogi berry and Sea Buckthorn berry mix with shea butter fruit, caffeine, green tea extract, clove, and Vitamin C acetate to fill the Dawn til Dark SPF 35 Moisturizer with antioxidants and vitamins making it a powerful all-in-one anti-aging moisturizer with effective SPF protection.

Sevique is an innovative new skin care line featuring products that work from the inside out to heal, nourish and restore your skin’s natural balance.
