Choose Your Beauty Products Using the Facts Not the Hype!

There are over 200 different species of Aloe. Of the 200+ species of Aloe only four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans and animals. Aloe Barbadensis Miller (pronounced bar-ba-den-sis) is the top of these four, since it is the most potent and nutritious -- with only mature plants bearing the greatest benefits.

The Aloe Vera Barbadensis gel is well known as a healing agent, for burns, bruises, cuts, abrasions, insect bites, and other damaged skin tissues. Its powers have been recounted for thousands of years. There is historical documentation that shows that Aloe Vera was being used as far back as l,500 BC and it is often referred to as "Nature’s Pharmacy". Legend has it that the Aloe Vera was Cleopatra’s beauty secret. The Bible speaks of aloe in over a dozen passages, referring to it as the "bitter herb," it also tells us of Christ’s body being wrapped in myrrh and Aloe following His crucifixion. The journals of Marco Polo speak of its magical powers and Columbus mentions the mysterious properties of the plant.

Now, we at L’Bri have unlocked the mysteries of the Aloe Vera Plant, and formulated skin care products that not only moisturize, but help heal damaged skin tissue. We want you to understand these mysteries, too. Modern research reveals that one of the plants mysteries is its enhancement of a proteolytic enzyme action in the skin tissue. By helping the natural process of cell division and sloughing off of dead cell tissue, the Aloe in effect rejuvenates and rebuilds new healthy tissue at an accelerated pace -- the same process that gives children that fresh, pink, healthy glow.

Because Aloe is a succulent it helps to maintain the natural moisturizing agents in the skin -- helping retard the natural evaporative process and even drawing moisture from the air around us.

We also know that the Aloe is able to penetrate the outer skin surface -- to take its healing and moisturizing processes deeper within our skin. Its benefits, unlike other ingredients, penetrate and don’t merely "cover-up".

You may have heard that other products have Aloe in them -- when they do it's not the FIRST ingredient. However, the "L’Bri Pure n’ Natural" Skincare collection is formulated to provide the most concentrated and effective use of Aloe now available.
First, our L’Bri collection draws its plants from only the highest grade cultivated in the Rio Grande Valley. The hand-picked leaves are then hand-filleted to ensure that only the purest, innermost gel of the plant is used. Many products on the market will grind or squeeze the plant. Invariably, this results in tainting their gel with aloins -- (a yellowish substance found in Aloe Vera,) which is harmful to skin tissue. The attention we use results in a completely clear gel -- a sure sign of the very highest grade of Aloe gel.

Unlike other products using Aloe, the "L’Bri Pure n’ Natural" Skincare Collection uses a cold stabilization process (the secret of our gel) as opposed to a heat pasteurization process which "cooks-out" most of the Aloe’s natural benefits and healing properties. Through our cold stabilization process, the L’Bri Skincare Collection retains 100% of the plant’s mysterious and wonderful properties.  The "pure" gel of the unadulterated Aloe Vera thus forms the base and is the FIRST INGREDIENT in our complete line of Skincare products -- and we refuse, unlike many of the products on the market, to water-down the pure gel or use water as the first ingredient.

At L’Bri, everything we put our name on, is developed within the perfect balance of nature and technology. L’Bri Skincare Collection is as natural as they can be, for being man made. Each product combines effective natural ingredients such as vitamins, fruit acids, alpine herbs, and amino acids, with sound Skincare science, to create formulas that really work -- products which will give you healthier, more youthful and radiant skin.
 

After researching different products for many years, it was interesting to note that many companies claimed that their products were "natural." However, when researching the ingredients, we found that these products contained only a small amount of vitamins and herbs, that were commonly found at the END of the ingredient listing. That means that the amounts were included primarily for what is called "good label copy." Legally, they can say their products contain natural ingredients, but the amount is so small that they do not really benefit the skin. L'Bri products are free of any synthetic fragrances and artificial FD&C dyes. Any coloring we use comes from nature: such as Chlorophyll from plants, beet juice, vitamin B12, etc. What makes L'Bri unique is not only what is in our products, but also what is not. A nickel is too much to spend on a product that contains "fillers:" such as waxes, crude oils, and harsh preservatives "DEA, BHT, and others". Our mission, of course, is to educate consumers on what they use to take care of their skin. Every company says their products are the best, however, by reading ingredient labels you will be able to see for yourself how pure and natural your products really are. After all you deserve the best!
