Nature Knows Best: How a Tiny Berry Helps Heal Scrapes Quickly and Prevent Scars

Boise, Idaho (PRWEB) July 20, 2010

Painful skin conditions take time, TLC and sometimes, a boost from nature to heal.

Seeking a gentle way to treat the every-day scrapes and scratches of her four children, BodyVerde.com founder Sue Donnellan went to the lab to develop a mix of botanicals to speed skin?s natural ability to heal itself. Her research led her to time-tested plant and sea extracts, including a tiny berry native to Asia called sea buckthorn.

In all, there are 16 skin-healing extracts in BodyVerde's Miracle Skin Renew Serum.

?It literally began working overnight to heal wounds and prevent scars,? Donnellan said. ?I knew we had hit upon a safe, effective remedy, but the proof truly was in the results that my family, friends and customers experienced.?

Donnellan found many other types of injuries on which to try her new formula, such as sunburns, cuts and insect bites. There were her own complaints as a busy working mom: cracked hands, chapped lips and wrinkles. She even tried it on the family dog?s sores. Miracle Skin Renew Serum worked time and time again.

She continues to hear of new uses. ?I have it in every bathroom (and diaper bag, too). I use it as my under-eye night treatment and it has reduced my redness significantly in just a few weeks. I use it on my cuticles from the dry winter air. And, most importantly, I use it on my kids. Since it?s all natural, I can use it when my son's fingernails cut his face and not worry about him digesting chemicals,? wrote Tracey Tanner in Boston.

Another customer wrote to describe how the serum healed a zip line injury on her son?s neck in five days. A man experiencing hair loss wrote that Miracle Skin helped soothe his itchy scalp. One talked of nearly eliminating the red, scaly eczema between her fingers within the first few days. Some even included before-and-after photos.

The serum?s main ingredient is sea buckthorn, which has long been used for skin therapy. Rich in healing vitamins, carotenoids and fatty acids, sea buckthorn has also been used to treat chemical and radiation burns ? in fact, Russian cosmonauts used it to protect them from cosmic radiation.

Unlike many other topical treatments available, Miracle Skin Renew Serum contains no preservatives, parabens, propylene glycol, mineral oil or color. As BodyVerde pointed out in a recent e-report, the typical U.S. consumer uses about 10 health and beauty products every day that contain an average of 126 different chemicals.

BodyVerde?s Miracle Skin Renew Serum sells for $ 10.99 at http://www.bodyverde.com/bv/products/miracle-skin-renew-serum.

Aloe Apps Announces the Release of iPhone app Aloe ABC, The Best Way to Teach Children How to Write Numbers and Letters with a Touchscreen

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) November 24, 2011

Aloe Apps announced today the release of iPhone app Aloe ABC, the best way to teach children how to write numbers and letters with a touchscreen.

Aloe ABC is a fun and engaging app for young children, which helps them discover, recognize, memorize and draw letters and numbers. An exciting educational breakthrough, Aloe ABC helps them acquire this new skill in a creative and dynamic way.

There are four stages in the learning process, from the beginner level where your child draws the letters on top of the app strokes, to the advanced level, where they draw the letters and numbers from memory. There is finally an opportunity for them to show off their skills in a game setting, which helps them to increase their speed and accuracy.

At every step in their development of handwriting skills, learners are offered encouragement through a combination of fun and familiar visual and oral feedback.

Unlike other, simpler apps, Aloe ABC is designed to teach children the proper way to draw letters and numbers, instead of barely help them develop recognition. Carefully crafted with attention to details, the app introduces several entirely new ways to learn the ABCs, thanks to the touchscreen.

Michel Lopez, President of Aloe software, said today: "We spent countless hours trying to figure out the best methods to teach children how to properly trace letters and numbers. Contrarily to other apps, which merely ask the child to draws the characters on top of the software strokes, we have developed increasingly difficult methods that challenge the child's memory by erasing the iPhone characters after they are drawn. This way, the child is lead to memorize, rather than recognize. The early positive feedback from educators and parents tells us that we are in the right direction"!

Aloe Apps is running a promo code giveaway on its Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aloe-Apps/305026786175227. Ten of the 200 first users to Like the page will be randomly selected for a free Aloe ABC app.

A demo video of Aloe ABC is available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POmRqcdFAns.

The Aloe ABC app is on sale on the iTunes Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aloe-abc/id476496813?mt=8.

Aloe Software (http://www.aloesoftware.com) is a developer of mobile apps in various categories. Marketing its own ideas under the Aloe Apps brand, the company is also doing custom development for those who have great ideas but need help to make them come true.
