Can somebody please tell me what the thanksgiving closure dates for Rhonda Allison are? I can’t find my message.

I am a registered organ donor (family pay attention). If my brain has died, I’m done with my body. Throw a Party! Drink all the wine, play the music loud and DANCE!!!! Give my organs to whoever needs them. Whatever still works, is up for grabs. I won’t need them. If you’re an organ donor, please copy. I’m curious to see how many of my friends and family are donors.

I know that many of you have heard rumblings about the RA sun protection products no longer having the FDA SPF rating on the bottle label, so I wanted to share a recent posting from our RA skin care family, explaining what the FDA now requires and the RA response to those requirements.

I apologize for the length of the post, but this is pretty important. Please drop me a text or give me a call if I can clarify anything.

Clean, Pure Mineral Protection

All RA skin care formulations are developed with your skin’s integrity and health in mind, including our SUNREFLECT products. We have produced products that are free from synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, and other harmful and skin irritating ingredients for over 25 years.

Our sun protection products use only the cleanest, pure minerals, antioxidants and botanical extracts to shield the skin from damaging UV rays, reducing the risk of skin cancer and photo-aging.

New FDA Requirements

The health and cosmetic industry has gone through many changes in recent years and in 2011, when sunscreens became regulated by the FDA in an effort to insure consistency in SPF ratings we submitted our Day Time Defense, eZinc and Sheer Tint Finisher formulas for testing. At that time we received approval from the FDA of our product and the accuracy of their SPF ratings - with it’s first submission.

In September 2021 the FDA issued additional regulations including the length of expiration dates on sun protection products. The FDA now requires all products with an SPF rating to have a minimum of a 3 year shelf life on the product.

This does not meet our formulation standards however and we decided to attempt create this and found that there was a change in our active ingredients because of the higher percentage of preservatives, ultimately leading us to reevaluate. We are excited for our decision and the lifted pressure to create a formulation that we wouldn’t want to use on our skin just so that we could sell it.

Outdoor Topicals

Introducing SUNREFLECT Outdoor Topicals! These are the same incredible, pure, clean formulations we have always manufactured without the harmful preservatives that the FDA wanted us to formulate with.

The term Outdoor Topicals was developed as these products support the health of your skin and protection from UV rays that lead to skin cancers and photo-aging. You will find that our SUNREFLECT products continue to have the same efficacy and performance as in the past, but without the FDA’s SPF rating on the bottle. Formulations will continue to submitted to a third party lab for testing to insure purity, SPF rating and how they protect against damaging UV rays.

Daytime Defense will continue to protect your skin as an SPF 30 and eZinc as an SPF 22 with no changes in the formula!

Integrity Is Our Standard

We want you to continue to trust that SUNREFLECT and all our products are manufactured with integrity, using only clean, healthy, result-driven ingredients. We created our formulation standards more than 25 years ago and will continue this into the future.

The health and beauty industry may go through more changes, but you can depend on RA Skin Care to remain a company of integrity to give you beautiful, healthy skin from the inside out.

The Good, The Bad, But No Ugly

The price increase announced by Rhonda Allison Skin Care was not really a surprise since we all have been impacted by supply chain issues, out of stock items and increased costs. I want you to know that this is not an across the board increase, but rather a project that entailed a review of the actual costs associated with the manufacture of each product. I love RA products because they are so versatile and can be adapted to almost any skin. I hope that you too love RA and will continue to support this great company - and me!

Because of changes in our pricing, I thought you might like to know what actually happens when you apply your skin care products.

If you're like me, you won't be putting down your favorite products anytime soon because there's joy and relaxation in your a.m. and p.m. skincare applications. It's a welcomed ritual that helps start and close our day, but beyond the”feel good” benefits, we can't help wondering what's happening during each slather and mist. From cleanser to SPF, every product plays a crucial part in achieving our skincare goals, but what actually happens to our favorite formulas once applied?

To understand what happens to our skincare products once applied, and without getting too technical, first we need to understand how the skin works. Skin is our largest multifunctional organ and operates as our protective barrier against harmful foreign substances in the environment.

The skin is made up of three layers: At the top, we have the epidermis, known as the waterproof barrier. Without that barrier, we would blow up like a sponge when we get into an tub, shower or pool. Also important to note that within the top layer is the area which is made up of dead skin cells arranged like tiles on a roof, overlapping one another and glued together with fatty acids. (Minimizing those sticky dead skin cells is why we exfoliate.)

The middle layer of the skin is where elastin, collagen, connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands reside. That’s why we “feed” our skin to encourage it to make more collagen and elastin.

And finally, the bottom layer of the skin is the innermost layer of the skin that comprised of fat and connective tissue.

It’s important to note that skin is not a sponge. Not everything pe*****tes into lower layers of the skin. Most topical skincare products work primarily on the skin's surface.
Then why does our skin feel like it's absorbing (that sinking-in sensation you feel) after applying our products?

While "absorption" means that something has made its way into the bloodstream, skincare "pe*******on" means an ingredient has made its way through that layer of dead, stuck together skin cells into the deeper layers of the skin.

When it comes to skincare, pe*******on is the goal so that the active ingredients can work to hydrate and fortify the skin while remaining in the targeted skin layer for maximum efficacy.

Product pe*******on can be tricky because of those sticky dead skin cells which are also water-repellent. Skincare products consist of a lot of water because it's the most effective way to dissolve and dilute active ingredients.

To get through that water resistant layer, pe*******on enhancers are added to the product. These ingredients pe*****te the skin and decrease the skin's innate barrier resistance. In doing so, they allow other ingredients to enter the deeper layer along with them.

Our skincare products come in many ways; thin serums spritzes, and thick and creamy moisturizers. These products pe*****te the skin differently because of their differing molecule size.

Ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid can easily pe*****te the skin’s top layer since they have smaller molecular size. But some ingredients have larger molecular size, which means they can't pe*****te the skin and will end up sitting on the surface of the skin. That's not to say that these ingredients aren't beneficial—they can seal the skin and give a hydrating effect, improving our outer skin texture.

Here's where things get a bit dicey. There are some beauty ingredients that manage to infiltrate both the circulatory and lymphatic systems. To achieve this feat, molecules need to be ultra-small, and have both hydrophilic (water) and hydrophobic (oil) components that increase their solubility. Retinol is an example of a bloodstream-entering ingredient which is why pregnant and nursing women should avoid using it entirely, but in skincare (for those not pregnant) Retinol is a magic potion and is not harmful,

Certain ingredients in chemical sunscreens, such as avobenzone and oxybenzone, have also been found to absorb directly into the bloodstream—as well as chemical molecules like parabens and phthalates that mimic hormones and are distributed throughout the body.

The effect of chronic chemical exposure on our body is unknown, but chemical avoidance is a great reason to use a physical sun block like Rhonda Allison’s eZinc or Daily Defense, each containing zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.

I hope that each of you is surviving this heat wave, having some fun and being safe.
