DEVITA SKINCARE

High Performance Glycolic Acid Blend - All Natural Skin Care Products

Do Devita products contains parabens?  NO never have, never will. We were one of the first companies to put out a paraben free product line. We were pioneers of the paraben-free concept and, in the beginning, it caused the company to grow slowly as various distribution channels were reluctant to take the risk of not having traditional preservative poisons in the products. We started to realize as more information became available, that we had created a process that would cause others to change their ways as well. We see many companies now changing their formulas to exclude parabens, but we have always known that parabens were not our friends! Parabens are not the only things we do not choose to include. We are always free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, petrochemicals, etc.

What is the difference between vegan and vegetarian? Vegetarian is a blanket term used to describe a person who does not consume animal flesh foods – meat, poultry, fish, or seafood. It generally implies someone who has less dietary restrictions than a vegan. Vegetarians can consume eggs, dairy products and honey/beeswax from the bees (insects) etc… Vegan is the strictest extreme sub-category of vegetarians. Vegans do not consume any animal products or by-products. Some go as far as not even consuming honey/beeswax from bees (insects) or yeast, while some are classified as Honey-Vegans for whom the gift of honey/beeswax is humbly accepted and appreciated for its amazing health giving and performance properties. Still others do not wear any clothing, or use furniture etc made from animal products. It is a multi-sided issue to be sure, with many different passionately held opinions. Honey-Vegan vs Non-Honey Vegan etc is an old debate, and one that will likely continue forever with both sides claiming they are “right”, when really it is simply a right to choose. The DeVita Skin Care line is 100% “vegan extreme” and does not contain any animal or bee insect by-products. Our absolute minerals color cosmetics line is nearly 100% “vegan extreme”; except for two products – absolute LIPS and absolute LENGTHS – which both contain small amounts of necessary natural beeswax (preferable to the use of chemicals in synthetic beeswax). We have chosen to label those two products as vegetarian; however, DeVita still remains 100% animal free in both our lines.

Is Devita Gluten Free? DeVita is considered a Gluten Sensitive Safe product line, as we use only the pure, non-synthetically extracted Vitamin E, Wheat amino acids etc. What has to be understood is that this chemistry is very precise. The gluten is isolated first and only the pure Vitamin E is extracted. The vitamin and the gluten come from two different parts of the whole. We never use whole Wheat Germ Oil in any of our formulas; we use only the pure, non-synthetically extracted Vitamin E and everything we work with is at the amino acid level. Because of this we are considered a Gluten Sensitive Safe line. Of course, as with any new product, customers should always do a patch test first to see if there is a compatibility issue. We never expect anyone to have a problem, but everyone’s skin is special, and although DeVita is designed to cater to those with skin sensitivity issues, it is always best to be safe as your skin is just like your finger prints, particular only to you.
