conditions of problem skin, to help reduce the visible appearance
of acne, psoriasis and eczema.

Kola works in harmony with Golden Seal extract to

veins.

redness and blotchiness.
When
you add this fabulous new botanical blend to the wonderful formulations
we already have the total resulting synergy gives your skin the
ultimate benefits.

Most
skin care products are made specifically for one skin type or another,
how is it possible that AHA Skin Smoother can be used by all skin
types?
go to top
The Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) produce a continuous exfoliation
of the dead skin cells on the top layer of the skin, allowing
the skin to quickly develop new younger skin cells. This results
in a smoother complexion.
AHA Skin Smoother helps get rid of blemishes and adds needed moisture
to oily/blemish-prone skin and reduces flaking and smoothes fine
lines in dry or aging skin.

I have started the daily regimen for dry skin, but when should I
use AHA Skin Smoother?
go to top
AHA Skin Smoother can be used in the morning before you apply
your Daytime Hydration. This amazing product is gentle enough
that you can also use it at night before you apply your Night
Recovery. This way you get the fabulous benefits of this product
around the clock.
4.
Someone has sensitive skin and has begun using all the appropriate
Harper products. Their skin is itchy
- why?
go to top
Occasionally someone will experience a little itchiness when first
using Alpha Hydroxy Acid that is found in our AHA Skin Smoother.
This is only a temporary condition that will disappear within
a few days or so. Some people also experience flaking when they
first use AHA Skin Smoother. This is normal. It means the cream
is working, exfoliating the dead skin. Flaking is also a temporary
situation.
5.
Does Moisturizing Mist replace a body lotion like the Skin Calming
Talcum Lotion?
go to top
No, either product is a wonderful body moisturizer. It simply
depends on your preference for the type of formulation. You may
wish to use a combination of the two - Skin Calming Talcum Lotion
is a wonderful after shave product - women could use it on legs
and bikini areas and men could use it, of course, after shaving.
Then use Moisturizing Mist on the rest of the body.
Moisturizing Mist enables you to moisturize your own back without
having to have someone else to massage a moisturizing lotion or
cream into the skin for you. It's also great for the hair - just
spray on after shampooing. It helps protect the hair from damage
from the blow dryer and it stops tangles.

Harper
Botanicals has no shaving cream for men. Why not?
go to top
There are three products that men use for shaving - Cucumber Cleanser,
Triple Protein Conditioner and Tea Tree Face Wash. Men are finding
that they get a very smooth shave, their razors don't clog and
the life of the blade is about a third longer. (Tea Tree Face
Wash gives a great lather if you like to use a brush!)
7. What is the biodegradability
of the Harper Botanicals products?
go to top
All "wash off" products, such as shampoos, body wash
and facial cleansers contain biodegradable surfactants and the
formulations contain nothing harmful to the environment. There
are no biodegradability studies on the creams and toners, as biodegradability
is not an issue with these products. These products are massaged
into the skin, thus very little, if any, would ever enter the
environment. In any case, 90% of the molecular structure of the
ingredients in these products is biodegradable or inert.
8.
Are there any sunscreens in the moisturizers?
go to top
There
are no sunscreens in the moisturizers and we do not plan to add
them. It is not possible for a daytime moisturizer to cover all
bases. Daytime moisturizers are applied once a day but SPF's should
be reapplied several times a day. The amount of sun protection
you require also depends on the activities you are engaged in
that day. We suggest that you use a sunscreen containing the correct
SPF factor for you on any particular day. The sunscreen should
be applied over your moisturizer.
9.
I know Harper doesn't do animal testing,
but are any of the ingredients in Harper
Botanicals formulations animal-derived? go
to top
None of our products contain animal-derived ingredients.
10.
My
hair is very fine and even combing breaks it. Does Harper
Botanicals have anything that will help?
go to top
Yes.
Shampoo with the Deep Cleansing Shampoo - it contains botanical
extracts that will expand the hair. Try to hold the hair straight
back just as the hair stylist does to avoid tangling hair when
shampooing. Follow with the Triple Protein Conditioner and leave
it on for at least thirty seconds. Rinse well. Spray with moisturising
mist. Then comb and dry as usual.
