Vitamin D: ethnic skin and the elderly.

It has been suggested that the elderly, those with darker skin and ethnic skin types supplement their diets with Vitamin D, especially during the colder months as the sun's helpful rays are no longer directly beaming down on the skin. Because African-American skin (and elderly skin) produces Vitamin D in much smaller quantities than Caucasian skin in the winter and summer months, it is imperative for supplements during these times. Vitamin D, when given in sufficient amounts, decreases bone loss, fractures and the Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) in the blood, which is a cause of bone loss.

Vitamin D cannot be created artificially, so it must be found through natural means. Our Winter 08 Line includes Shunammite Woman (NOT to be confused with Shulammite Woman of our Fall collection!) Body Butter, which is created from 100% organic and unrefined avocado oil, and Queen of Persia (not to be confused with Queen of Sheba from the Fall Collection) Sugar scrub, which is made from avocado oil as well. Avocado oil is an excellent source of Vitamin D and one of the few plant oils that offer such a great source. And because our oils are not chemically treated or changed, they retain their full benefit as sources of many Vitamins, including A, B1, B2 and E. Avocado oil softens the skin as it absorbs and aids it in cell regeneration, which is excellent for those with mature skin and those who must constantly face the elements in harsh winter and summer conditions.

And as always, about 60% of what is put on the skin absorbs into the body, so the Vitamin D in these products will directly benefit the bodies of those who use it!

We've changed the Genesis Ethnic Body Care design!

We've gone on to change the Genesis Ethnic Body Care logo to a smoother calligraphy style font from a more choppy looking sans font. The reasoning for this was multi--the calligraphic font is easier to print on labels and it's also easier to find similar fonts on our basic web design programming. It also has a bit of a more elegant look, with smoother lines and darker coloring. Our labels have proven to be more pleasing to the eye and easier to read as well with the calligraphic font and we think you'll agree.

Our colors have also changed--from black, green and white to brown, green and cream. It provides a more relaxing look for our products--and relaxation is what we are aiming for!

We hope that these changes to the look of Genesis Ethnic Body Care are enjoyed by all of our customers.
