FAQ\'S
Q - When is the new Edelweiss Night Recovery Cream going to be available and what does it do?
A - The New Edelweiss Cream will only be available in the February "Age-Less Solutions" kit. It will be a FREE 1/2 oz jar. This new cream promises to be the most comprehensive cream I will formulate this year. This cream is created from a Hydropol, Edelweiss Extract and Antarcticine base. It also has Ceramides, Marine Extracts, Essential Oils in addition to our very special "HAPPY SKIN" ingredient. We are the first company in the US to bring you this exciting and natural ingredient which carries a European patent for this technology.
As we all know, stress manifests itself in the exterior appearance of our skin. When we are under stress, it shows in our faces. This can be as simple as stress from our daily lives which over time can make us look old, wrinkled and tired. Happy Skin, when applied topically, causes the skin to release B-Endorphins - much like the effect of warm sunshine on our skin (but without the harm). This sense of wellness and wellbeing will give the skin a more relaxed, glowing and youthful look. This fast breaking emulsion will release a burst of hydration to the skin and deliver light, but intensive moisture in a slow release formula.
This is a paraben free formula which has been tested and received "thumbs up" on all skin types.
==========
1/2 off is a great deal on the squalane for squalane users! and I personally CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on that new Edelweiss night cream! It sounds just soooo amazing!
Have an Ice Day!

Oh, I meant to ask... Have any of you from Europe used the Happy Skin ingredient mentioned in the newsletter above?
I am curious to hear your reviews about it.
Thanks!

Oh, if I were you I would send Frankie a note and see if it would be possible to get one directly and maybe he can put one aside for you, since you cannot order from HSN.
Good luck!

I wonder if Happybelle-PE is the "happy skin" ingredient?
Here is a link to information on Happybelle.
http://www.mib-bio.com/cosmetic-ingredients/happybelle-pe.php
Seems a little unusual to me. I am not so sure I like the concept of applying a cream that affects my opioid receptors!! |

Hi Cutie!
I would rather the products that I use not have parabens, however since the Ice Elements products have 1% or less of the parabens I have been OK with that... It is a more recent motivator of mine to try and stay away from them as I feel that if we can get away from them we are just better for it.
Hi Doba,
The Ice Cap is a hair mask made for those with dry scalps. I have not seen an ingredient list yet and am dying to try it!
Hi Theresa!
I am not sure if the ingredient is Happybelle. It sure looks like an interesting ingredient. Since Happybelle is extracted from Monk's Pepper berries it sounds like something that would be in an Ice Elements product.
Take care.

Why cant they just sell samples of the new cream on its own? What's in the ageless kit? Its a bit annoying when you only want to try 1 product and have to go and buy a kit.
Will they have trial kits available?
Im eagerly awaiting the icecap too as dry scalp is a constant battle for me |

Carol,
The free 1/2 oz is a pre-release.
I am not sure when it comes out officially or if they will release it in 1/2 sizes so that you can purchase a big one or not... but if you purchase it through hsn you get a 30 day money back guarantee anyway so I just get the big one.
Take care.

Doba,
I had to look this one up on the IE message board as I was not sure what was in the kit... Now I do!
full size revitalizing cleanse with toner built in
full size anti aging serum
full size moisturizer
1/2 oz Edelweiss night serum
1/2 oz jar NEW Edelweiss night cream
I picked up the 1/2 oz of the Edelweiss serum last time around and still have some left so it goes a long way... but I am pretty sure that it will also be available in a larger size by itself. I am not sure when the new night cream comes out on its own. The 1/2 oz is a free preview that is included in the kit.
Carol,
Since you are in Aus, I would ask if it would be possible to order that kit directly and get the free cream, if you are interested in it now. They may be able to put one aside for you.
Theresa,
I asked Shelly about the ingredient and have received an answer.

This was interesting to see and makes me even more excited about rolling out our new cream. The Monks pepper is a source of a B-endorphin producing agent but what we are using would honestly be considered a more sohphisticated version and has had more in-depth testing.
The information you forwarded is more substantiation of the positive effect that this type of Endorphin release can have on skin.
The ingredient we are importing grows primarily on dry sandy soils, in high Arctic latitudes (not to be confused with Antarctic) and mountain regions of Europe and Asia.
Our ingredient does have many of the same active natural components but with a few more only found in the species we are using. This includes high antioxidant compounds(flavonoids, polysaccharides and phenol acids) and plant actives which increase B-endorphin levels (Rosavin, Rosin, Rosarin, Rhodioloside).
In short, skin itself produces neurotransmitters. B-endorphins are neuropeptides, composed of 35 aminod acids with neurotransmitter action. These compounds have also been called "the chemical of happiness" because they produce analgesia and modulate the mood, the emotions and behavior in a similar way to opiods. Thus, cosmetic active ingredients that increase the B-endorphin levels can provide wellness and pleasure, and qualitatively improve the skins appearance.
The "beauty" of this is that it is completely natural to our skin and bodies and there is no risk or down side to this type of approach to skin therapy.
I hope this information is useful to you all.
Thank you for the question.

I am really glad that you found the link as now I have more information and I am really looking forward to trying this cream!
Have an Ice Day!

Bosoxy thanks for the additional information. It is odd because yesterday I was reading one of Dr. Perricone's book and he was discussing neuropeptides and how they are produced in the skin. He was in particular discussing Substance P and it's connection to acne. When I was reading the book yesterday I didn't even think of the "Happy Ingredient" also being an example of a neuropeptide. Strange how I can encounter infromation on two different neuropeptides in a matter of days when just last week I had no clue that they even existed! |

Well it certainly adds a whole new dimension to the term "skincare junkie". |

Oh gosh, Carol, I know that Shelly posted the ingredients in the Ask Shelly forum of the message board... If you do a search for Edelweiss ingredients it should come up.
If you have trouble finding it I can do a search over there later and see if I can find it.
Take care.
