As we head on into the weekend we thought we’d get you in a weekend spa mood by sharing more interviews from the 2009 Face & Body Expo. So far we’ve shared our interviews with Danielle Farnan of GoSmile and Lisbeth Boger of Eminence Organic Skin Care. Next up are Sanitas Skincare and Sparitual.

Josie Dembikzak of Sanitas Skincare talked to us about the importance of having good skin and how it comes from the inside out. Sanitas skincare has both nutritional and topical skincare products. And we got to throw back a couple of shots (no, they didn’t contain alcohol) with Josie, check it out:

In the video below, Anya Whisenhunt of Sparitual shares with us the Sparitual philosophy of creating eco-friendly products, and she talks about a few of their vegan products from nail polish to bath salts. Sparitual nail care and spa product formulations are naturally colored and free of unhealthy ingredients such as synthetic dyes, formaldehyde and toluene, which are common ingredients found in most mainstream nail polish brands.

Sanitas has not jumped on the social media bandwagon and does not have a twitter handle or Facebook fan page (maybe after reading this they will engage). However, we did find an active Sparitual Facebook fan page and a Twitter handle (@SpaRitual), but no tweets. I suspect that the company didn’t create the Twitter handle. However, they should claim it because they have lots of customers and fans talking about them on Twitter.

The next time you’re at the spa, perhaps this weekend, ask about Sanitas Skincare and Sparitual.

Face & Body Expo 2009: Eminence Organics

A few weeks ago we shared our interview with Danielle Farnan of GoSmile from the 2009 Face & Body Expo. Next up is Lisbeth Boger of Eminence Organic Skin Care. Boger shares with us the history of Eminence, how they make their organic skin care products and she shows us the Sour Cherry Whip Moisturizer, which is great for those who have large pores and want to reduce pore size.

Eminence is a Hungarian company that handpicks only the finest organic ingredients for its products. What sets it apart from mainstream skin care brands is that Eminence products are not mass-produced and are made by hand in small batches without any heating or hydrogenating processes. This keeps the integrity and efficacy of the ingredients.

Another unique aspect is that they take a farmers market approach in that they come out with new products every three months, which makes sense since fruits and vegetables are seasonal. If you’re going to eat seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, why not also use seasonal fresh organic skin care, too. Because what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body.

Eminence is a very popular skin care line for those who want a higher end organic line that produces results. They have products for all skin types and have a wide range of products. Since it’s a professional skin care line it’s only sold in spas and salons. To find out where you can buy Eminence in your area, visit their site at http://eminenceorganics.com.

Sadly, they are not a brand that’s hip to social media and do not have a twitter handle, nor do they have much activity on Facebook or other social networking sites. Hopefully, they will soon engage in the social economy because they sure have a lot of fans (their booth was packed); but until then, check them out at the Eminence Web site and watch our interview with Lisbeth.

And lastly, we have to say that Eminence wins for cutest booth because the booth was an adorable fruit stand surrounded by great smelling cleansers, moisturizers and scrubs. The products smelled so good that we could almost taste the fruit in them.
