July 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Gone are the days where natural products were associated with poor efficacy.  Today’s eco-conscious consumer is creating a real demand for proven natural and organic products. This presented HEIKO with the perfect opportunity to present its innovative and exciting line of skincare and sunscreens.  Named after the Japanese word for balance, HEIKO offers an effective and 100% natural solution to balancing your health by providing beautiful, worry free, natural skincare.

Developed in Quebec by homeopathic biochemist, Shirley Duplessis, HEIKO skincare products are gentle and do not burden the skin with unnecessary ingredients.  She explains, “It is not easy to find effective natural skincare products that both feel good on the skin and respect the environment. You will not find any parabens, perfumes, or preservatives in our formulas. Each product is perfectly suited to all skin types and helps to restore skins balance quickly and continuously. Products are enhanced with essential oils making Heiko soothing for both skin and senses.”

Synthetic fragrance, mineral oil and colorant free, HEIKO’s extremely gentle formula equilibrates the skin for a healthier, younger look.  Containing only plant based ingredients whilst devoid of nut oils and animal products, its hydrating formula improves skins texture by promoting elasticity and smoothing away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  The result is radiant looking skin that feels refreshed and invigorated.

HEIKO Suncare

Awareness of the need for sun protection is a hot topic but regardless of a multitude of sun care products on shelf, very few offer an entirely safe and chemical free option to UV protection.  Especially important for parents who want to protect their children but avoid harmful ingredients HEIKO recognized the need for a safe alternative. Consisting of 100% natural and organically grown ingredients HEIKO Ultra Protection SPF creams have just received a nod of approval from Health Canada as the first natural product sunscreen available in the Canadian market. These dermatologically tested products are ideal for people of any age and are safe for all skin types offering essential protection for the whole family.

Effective immediately upon application, HEIKO Ultra Protection Creams block out harmful rays not by filtering but by creating a physical barrier to both UVA and UVB rays using ingredient Zinc Oxide. These hazardous rays penetrate deep beyond the surface of the skin damaging skin cells and causing aging effects.  HEIKO’s extremely gentle formula not only offers crucial protection but ingredients such as sunflower and olive oil moisturizes the skin and maintains its elasticity.

Offering 3 levels of protection – HEIKO SPF 30 ($30), HEIKO SPF 40 ($30) & HEIKO SPF 40 Kids ($30), SPF creams are available across Canada at Phrama Plus, Loblaws and at select health food retailers.
