About a month ago I posted a blog about how XanGo quickly propelled the the mangosteen fruit from non-famed to something everyone knew about. First in the US and now globally. Even J. Lo agrees that this fruit is special. She has a new fragrance featuring the “sweetness of mangosteen”. There are also several natural skin care and beverage brands incorporating mangosteen for its flavor, phytonutrient properties and fragrance.

Looks like mangosteen has moved from being a “trend” to “mainstream”. But here’s the good news. XanGo still maintains the original whole-fruit mangosteen formula with great flavor, xanthones and phytonutrient benefits. And, even with all the new emerging mangosteen products, XanGo still dominates the mangosteen category!

So, drink it up this spring for your skin, for your health and overall wellness! Upscale Magazine March 2010 – Fountain of Youth

Cheers!

P.S. And, while I’ve got your enthralled attention, did you try the skin care tips on dry skin posted by Misha last week? Spring is just around the corner and at the change of season my skin actually goes through a dry phase although my typical skin type is normal to combination. Her regimen worked perfectly on my skin and I appreciate her expert tips!

Over the past seven-plus years, our not-so-small-anymore former startup company has made some amazing breakthroughs and reached unprecedented successes. Before XanGo, who knew what a mangosteen was? Did you?

But think about this, in 2008, mangosteen was quoted as the “most copied superfruit” at the Natural Product Expo – one of the industry’s largest tradeshows. Now, it seems that in 2010 the “Queen of Fruits” has claimed her rightful place in the upper echelon of must-have fruits: January’s People magazine named mangosteen as one of the “Hot Food Trends of 2010.” We’re glad they finally caught up to us, because we’ve known about it for years!

With Glimpse, we created a topical skin nutrition companion product to complement the internal support provided from our XanGo Juice. Glimpse is mangosteen-based skin care with a twist – non-toxic and safety-conscious formulation. We put just as much focus on what went into our topical nutrition product as what didn’t—no toxic chemicals allowed! In my previous article I mentioned several common culprits found in everyday skin, hair and body care products; phthalates, parabens, synthetic fragrance, and surfactant byproducts.

The alternative ingredients and monumental measures are complicated but definitely worth the effort. You deserve the best XanGo has to offer! Here are some super-star ingredients you will find in Glimpse, just to give you an idea:

• Use of natural antioxidants and botanical preservatives: we combine botanical preservatives such as gluconolactone (corn-based) with well known antioxidants – tocopherol (vitamin E) and let us not forget the mangosteen-based BioActive X3 Complex with the, scientifically proven, highest antioxidant power we’ve seen in personal care products!
• Use of botanical oils, pure essential oils for skin benefits and natural fragrance: grapefruits, lemongrass, rosewood, orange, bergamot, basil, cucumber, jojoba and more – not only do they provide natural scent to each product, they provide various skin benefits including moisture, nourishment, hydration and detoxification.
• Use of quality packaging to maintain freshness and efficacy of phytonutrients. That’s right…the pumps are airless—to prevent deterioration or contamination of the formula.

We’re proud of our Glimpse formulations and have nothing to hide. Click here to find a full glossary of Glimpse ingredients found on our website. We believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Rest assured, XanGo takes the extra steps to ensure safety and efficacy giving your skin a performance workout in every application. So no worries on toxic chemicals, just enjoy the powerful anti-aging benefits on your skin!

No brush set would be complete without a concealer brush. The smallest of all of our Glimpse Brushes, this handy little brush is wonderful for spot treating, concealer application, touch-ups and getting into the small crevices of the face. May be used for either wet application or dry application.

Directions:

1. Using your Glimpse Concealer Brush, mix a small amount of Mangosteen Pericarp Oil with your Mineral Treatment in the lid of the jar or the palm of your hand.
2. Gently pat concealer on to desired area, but do not rub in completely.
3. Pat over area until desired coverage is achieved. 4. Apply a layer of dry Mineral Treatment for added coverage and longer wear.

XanGo has made a conscious choice…the choice of not only creating a category, but of doing it the right way. We’ve made the chemical connection between the harmful toxins in the personal care products we use and potentially devastating diseases, and have chosen to take a different path. This latest recognition and listing of the NPA’s seal of approval signifies that the world also recognizes this as a more natural, healthy way.

So what does this mean? Simply put, the NPA’s strict standards state that all personal care products labeled or branded “natural” must be made with at least 95% all-natural ingredients and contain only synthetic ingredients specifically allowed under this standard that do not have suspected human health risks. Glimpse meets these strict requirements in every way providing your skin with a certified natural alternative. Our listing on their database is a valuable addition to your array of business-building tools. It validates Glimpse’s superior quality with credible, third-party approval.
