How much better would you feel if you get up one morning, glance at your image in the mirror and see a fresh new complexion smiling back at you? No more puffy eyes and dark circles,  premature wrinkling and sagging skin or marks from acne breakouts or scarring.

How would you feel if you looked several years less than your actual age? Or when friends your have not seen you for a while, it's amazing to have them smile at you in awe because you look so much younger or healthier than they did.

And what is crucial, how would you like to find the perfect balance between how you look and the age you feel inside? It may very well happen to you now.

I must confess I absolutely love hearing about how people just like you have renovated their complexion and in some cases have even re-energized their life. It is just priceless.

Knowing that anyone can have wonderful skin makes me very happy.

And you can do it! without spending thousands of dollars in an overpriced process, without painful and risky surgery, without Botox or collagen injections, and with a naturally occurring lotion that is compatible with what our biology mandates and thus has no side effects whatsoever.

I understand if you read this with more than a fair dose of disbelief. After all, you can't take half a step without bumping into a magazine cover or newsstand that's trying to force feed you their concept of beauty and health. Things don't get any better when you take into consideration the need to be alert to chemicals hidden in the products that may cause health hazards.

These products are supposed to simplify our lives but are now blamed of being responsible for increased skin cancer rates, severe allergic reactions, dry, itchy and irritated skin and others which exacerbate wrinkles and speed-up the effects of aging.

Are we killing our outlook for a hale & hearty future and graceful aging? It seems that convenience could be killing us and killing the environment and destroying or impeding our outlook for a vigorous and healthy future.

Now that markets dedicated to organic foods and products are becoming more and more common, one might think it is getting much easier to find natural or organic skin care  alternatives to the hazardous chemical products that have been traditionally used. But, is it?

Most of the so called "natural" or "organic" skin products are nothing but a concoction of herbs and botanicals created by a clever marketer with the help of a pharmacist. The question is not if they are or aren't man-made, but if they are compatible or not with living cells.

Where is that independent, scientific proof? After all, who has the necessary time to go out and really confirm these claims? Frankly, if you're like me, you're not only skeptical but rather sick of it.

And that's why I believe you're going to be very excited when you read this!

Experts have spent years screening products that provide qualitatively different chemicals from those found in purely synthetic compounds. This investigation has lead to the discovery of ingredients that have properties that effectively overcome all types of skin disorders, conclusively cracking the code.

The secret was discovered in a small creature from the phylum mollusca, class gastropoda, species Crystomphalus Aspersabetter known as the garden snail. This tiny creature produced a serum that had skin regenerative properties, which were an essential component of its own innate immune system.

Independent Research Validated by Peer Scientists
The regenerative properties of the 'lotion' secreted by these snails and its effect on human skin have been substantiated by years of research published  in dermatology journals in Spain and reported only recently in English in the January 2008 issue of the International Journal of Pharmacology and Physiology of Skin.

The authors of such independent peer reviewed research comprise scientists from The Hospital La Madrid in Spain and prominent researchers from the prestigious Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York City and The Department of Biological Sciences at the School of Natural Sciences, Fairleigh Dickinson University, in Teaneck, New Jersey.

Science has taken note that the natural skin care lotion is a complex compound of 'glyco' or sugar chain molecules bound to peptides, proteins, enzymes, co-enzymes and oligoelements. The lotion has a very rich biological functionality. And it is so complex that it can not yet be replicated even in the most sophisticated biochemical laboratory on Earth.

Excessive solar exposure, which also leads to premature aging, has been proven treatable in clinical trials with the application of the skin care lotion. While other independent clinicals have confirmed its ability to heal the harm inflicted to skin of patients undergoing radio therapy because of breast cancer.

No doubt you've heard it before! your ability to cope with assaults and insults from the environment depends on how healthy your immune system is. This also applies to the largest organ in your body, your skin. Because of its location on your body it's impossible to keep it protected and away from harmful UV-rays.

The evolutionary process has given the snail a skin, much like ours, which protects it from cuts, sun, and other environmental dangers. The participation of snails, especially the land helix, in medical studies and application have been going on for years. As hard as it may be to believe, the amazing healing properties of the snail's secretion are even mentioned by Hippocrates himself. This has led to the recent re-surfacing of snail use in dermatological and medical applications.

But the most common purpose for raising snails in modern times has been for food. That is, until one day a snail handler working on a snail farm in Chile realized that they had unbelievably smooth hands free of cuts or abrasions.

Now, you can't go and just pick up just any snail. This particular snail species lives in areas of the world favored by Mediterranean soil & weather, where the seasons are clearly different from one another, for they love orchards and vineyards where the most tasty fruits are grown and provide for the brewing of the best wines.

Snails are remarkable little creatures. Just think for a minute - a snail's shell protects it when it's being attacked. But what lets the snail's sensitive body tolerate, under natural conditions, the stress of oxygen transformed into biotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) as it arouses to tissue reoxygenation in an atmosphere plenty of oxygen gas after aestivation or hibernating?  What exactly protects its skin while it crawls over rough terrain, sharp rocks or even broken glass?

The fluid that snail secretes has to protect the snail's skin from free radicals, the radiation of the sun, from cuts, abrasions, bacteria. It helps the snail rejuvenate its shell if it is ever cracked or broken and even helps regenerate its tentacles and mouth when bitten by birds.

How does it work?
The modus operandi of the snail when its skin or even some of its organs are damaged and attacked by micro-organisms or when damage is inflicted by predators is quite different than our strong internal 'inflammaging' reaction. Instead, it copiously produces the ONLY natural fluid substance created by a living creature that is a complete and balanced innate immune response. It is the majestic result of the evolutionary drift that deeply moisturizes skin while protecting it from UV radiation.

This is possible due to the antioxidants and antimicrobials present in the secretion. An evolutionary masterpiece that ultimately aims to restore the integrity of the skin by the action of the complex enzymes and repair molecules it produces within its own cells.

What does it do?
By collecting and applying the serum to human skin we achieve much the same result. It reinforces the production and action of antimicrobial peptides secreted by our own skin and also helps strengthen the body's ability to destroy infectious microbes along with dead or dying cells.

This revolutionary discovery contains enzymes that remove scar tissue and dissolve damaged cells, and abnormal keratin plugs. They also release amino-acids and other components that rebuild healthy molecules and replace damaged skin tissue.

Enhances inter and intra cellular communication, stimulates extracellular matrix assembly and the regulation of degrading enzyme activities, which limits the extent of damage during wounding and scar formation. Stimulates cell turnover and the BIOSYNTHESIS of healthy cells and the orderly regeneration of whatever cells and tissues may be damaged.

Promotes the production of the water holding carbohydrate molecules within the skin.

But wait, it doesn't stop there. The rich functionality of natural biological products is beyond a shadow of a doubt one of their considerable strengths. Really, the lotion surprisingly restores balance to skin affected by acne lesions or rosacea outbreaks and quickly diminishes acne scarring.

It contributes to scar less healing of minor wounds and injuries and diminishes keloid scars and post surgery or accidental raised or hypertrophic scars like no other scar solution. It is also a powerful antioxidant that takes care of damaging free radicals caused by toxins from environmental pollution, damaging UV radiation, injuries caused by radiotherapy radiation or chemicals and damaged caused by our own metabolic processes or repair mechanisms like those active in healing acne lesions or injuries.

The humble brown garden snail and the contribution to beauty, and a lifetime of healthy skin and graceful aging we derive from its natural skin care serum may be compared to the beauty derived from the oysters' pearl, the beauty and softness of silk created by the silkworm, or the multiple benefits we obtain from the products of the honey-bee.

The organic skin care products made with this natural skin care lotion plus pure botanical extracts are safe as they are totally compatible with what the biology of our own living cells dictates.

The Berrysistible Organic Skin Care Cream and other products of our Berrysistible line also comprise cold pressed virgin strawberry seed oil and oil from the strawberry fruit pulp which strengthens even further their antioxidant and moisture retaining properties while spicing up your  experience with a sensual and sweet aroma.

A magic charm?
Nope, we brew our potions out of scientifically verified biological mechanisms--but our clients very frequently notify us that the results they've seen are  like sorcery, so we don't blame you for wondering!
