We tend to steer clear of scented skincare products…and even fragrance free goods tend not to be. Annoying.
Lucky for us, an invite to experience VMV Hypoallergenics™ got us clicking on the website.
Immediately we knew this skincare company was scientifically special---because impressively, the UVA/UVB ratings of their sunscreen products equaled those in Europe.
Meaning, VMV has separate (high) standards for UVA and UVB full spectrum protection from indoor and outdoor light sources… AND the VH-Number rating system (developed by said company) that grades a product’s safety based on how many allergens it does not contain.
For us, this meant effective sunscreen (Armanda Sport 70 and Armada Lip Balm-we demo-ed) that didn’t make us break out, protected us on a long 15 mile hike, and could be used by anyone who needed a slather.
SEVEN CATEGORIES OF Fragrance Free, 100% Preservative & Paraben-Free, Dye Free, Non-Comedognic, Patch and Clinically Tested Skincare and Cosmetics.
The lineup of VMV Hypoallergenics™ is staggering…and suitable for everyone with any skin sensitivities, including newborns.
Major product groups target- Active Treatments for Anti-Aging (Glykeros), Face and Body Acne (ID), Melasma, Lightening, Britening (Illuminants), Sun and Light Protection (Armada), Skinitial Regimens (SuperSkin Care), Body and Bath (Essence), Beauty (Makeup and Color), Mom and Baby (Grandma Minnie), Shaving (1635).
Smartly packaged in dark glass bottles or recycled plastic to insure ingredient intergrity, and tested in a dizzying barrage of trails including published clinical studies, we think consumers can feel confident that this highly performing brand is more way moresubstance over marketing blitz.
HOLIDAY GIFTS:
Gifts that are practical are the best presents…and a great way to try festively wrapped VMV goodies.
