Posted by Rainshadow Labs on 8/30/2021 to Cosmetics

Should You Be Layering Your Skincare Serums?

Posted by RainShadow Labs' Resident Esthetician on 4/14/2021 to Cosmetics
Layering and mixing products, especially serums, has become a popular skincare trend lately. It might seem like a good idea with all the high-performance skincare serums on the market these days. Why not add them together to give your skin all the benefits? While I understand the appeal of this approach, unfortunately, the reality is that you may not be enhancing your skincare routine as much as you think. So let's break down why layering your serums might not be the most beneficial for your skin and what to do instead.

As the warmer weather and sunshine approach, being mindful of excessive sun exposure and skin dehydration is necessary to keep your skin thriving during the summer season.

Glycolic Acid in Skincare: Q&A

Posted by RainShadow Labs' Resident Esthetician on 1/27/2021 to Cosmetics
If you are looking for a multi-beneficial AHA skincare ingredient, meet your new best friend: Glycolic Acid. 

Glycolic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from cane sugar. This carbon-containing molecule has a simple and small molecular size, and since Glycolic Acid has a small molecular structure unlike any other AHA, many skincare professionals favor it for helping to mae the skin look and feel clear, soft, young and radiant.

Lash & Brow Serum: How to Have Lush Brows & Lashes

Posted by RainShadow Labs's Resident Esthetician on 12/21/2020 to Cosmetics
There is something about glowing radiant skin and lush lashes and brows that I have always found to be my top priority in my beauty regime. Long lashes instantly lift your look and enhance your features, not to mention they look incredibly gorgeous. Don't worry, even if you weren't born with naturally long lashes, you can still have your dream lashes and brows. Grow Max Lash and Brow Serum is a spectacular product that you apply to your lash line and brows to enhance growth and shine. While the market has a lot of different options, you will need to be mindful of the ingredient list and find a safe, private label lash and brow serum that gives you the best results. The last thing we need is to apply a product with shady ingredients right on our eye area. Eyelash and brow serums are applied morning and night to your upper lash line and full brow, and results may take up to three months. 

The Best Aftercare for Laser and Microneedling

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 4/16/2019 to Cosmetics
Some of the most popular skincare treatments are laser and microneedling. As technological developments continue to become more refined, and the research goes deeper, so too do these treatments become more effective and varied. People seek them out to help with primarily concerns related to texture and tone. While the actual treatment is extremely important, an absolutely critical phase to these treatments is the aftercare phase. This ensures that the skin is care for not only properly, but optimally. Which means you gotta make sure you're using the right product(s)!

Cleansing with Honey: Why It Works

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 11/8/2017 to Cosmetics

Perhaps you’ve heard of oil cleansing, but what about washing with honey? It sounds a little crazy, but there are actually a good amount of people who have found honey to be the secret ingredient to their skincare success- especially among those who suffer from acne. You don’t have to have acne to benefit from using honey as your facial cleanser, though. Your skin can be perfectly fine or have other issues you want to work on. The great thing about honey, when real and raw (lots of honey on the market is actually not real honey or has been heated to a temperature that damages its beneficial properties) is that it’s benefits are universal, meaning they’re great for everyone.

When to NOT Follow A Trend

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 11/7/2017 to Cosmetics
In the private label skincare sector there’s always a new “it” ingredient and product trend; it can be hard to know which ones to take seriously. Is vitamin C really all that? Is rosehip seed oil all it’s chalked up to be? Is beard oil really worth adding to your product line? As you navigate the sometimes winding roads of the natural skincare landscape, it’s important to develop an eye and sense for trends that will stick and trends that will go away as quickly as they came. Some are worth capitalizing on for that brief, seasonal moment while ignoring others will have no real adverse effect on your business. Here’s how to know what trends to follow and which ones may not be worth your time:

Petroleum Derived Ingredient Alternatives

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 9/22/2017 to Cosmetics
Did you know that in many private label skincare products there lurk ingredients derived from petroleum? Petroleum- the same stuff our car oil and plastic come from! Incase you didn’t already know this: your skin has absolutely no need for petroleum, or any of the ingredients that come from it. Zero. None. The only reason it’s in your skincare is because of the low cost to the manufacturer. They’re in there to make the product feel moisturizing, lubricating and protective, but in reality, petroleum based skincare products and ingredients do your skin more harm than good.

Private Label Skincare Products that Double as Primers

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 7/24/2017 to Cosmetics

If you wear makeup, then you probably know about primer, the product you can apply to your skin before makeup that helps the makeup stay and also helps protect the skin. Plenty of brands sell primer as a complete product ready to be purchased at the store or online, but we have a little secret: you don’t have to use primer! You can still get all the benefits of wearing primer by using a private label skincare product in its place.


How To Fix Clogged Pores

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 7/20/2017 to Cosmetics

Clogged pores are responsible for everything from blackheads to bright red pustules and everything in between. They’re every skincare fan’s bad dream and can be extremely hard to get rid of, especially blackheads. While there are many different ways that people try to get rid of them and prevent them from occurring, there are as many people who find their search for a solution to be fruitless. Their pores stay clogged, the blackheads never go away and that’s just not okay!


Natural Fine Line Fillers

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 7/20/2017 to Cosmetics
While it’s easy to get the two confused, fine lines are actually not the same as wrinkles. Wrinkles come from muscle contractions under the skin, while fine lines are much shallower in depth and are the result of photo aging and the first signs of premature aging in the face. Because of this difference in depth and cause, fine lines are typically easier to deal with than wrinkles. And the good news is there are plenty of private label skincare ingredients that are fantastic for helping with fine lines.

DIY Shea Butter "Sunscreen"

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 7/14/2017 to Cosmetics
Sunscreen and sun exposure have become something of a divisive topic in the natural skincare and health worlds. Some people swear by the necessity of regular sunscreen application while others declare it completely unnecessary and harmful. The reality is that some people require more sun protection than others, and it’s always a good idea to pay attention to your own individual needs rather than listening to somebody else’s biased opinion. If you have fair skin and burn easily, you will consequently need more sun protection sooner than someone with a darker complexion. But this doesn’t mean that the sun is bad for you. It just means that everyone has their own individual threshold that needs to be respected. So if you or someone you know could benefit from mindful, natural sun protection for those days when covering up or finding shade in time isn’t an option, consider this easy to make, natural “sunscreen” recipe.

Does Natural Really Matter?

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 9/1/2015 to Cosmetics
Though they are not necessarily more expensive than “regular” private label skincare products, the question may still pop up in your head every once in a while: does natural really matter? Is organic that important? What’s the difference anyway, and is it tangible in the products? These are all great questions, and the answer to every single one of them is, yes. Natural does matter. It matters for results, product quality and environmental integrity. It also allows for a wealth of creative material because of the bounty nature produces.

Why Use Organic Cosmetics?

Posted by RainShadow Labs on 2/14/2014 to Cosmetics

RainShadow Labs is a Wholesale Retailer and a Private Label Skin Care Manufacturer.  We offer optimum grade natural and organic skin care products and essential oils. You may wonder Why Use Organic Cosmetics? Here’s why:


Your skin has its own metabolism.  Just like your body won’t metabolize certain kinds of foods (mostly chemically laced ones) your skin can’t process strange cosmetic material. When you skin doesn’t process the lab-crafted lotion you put on your face, it gets clogged and heavy in the same way your body gains weight when it doesn’t metabolize certain foods.

Top 5 Skincare Myths... Busted!

Posted by Julia Sanders on 8/26/2013 to Cosmetics
5) ALL OILS CLOG PORES AND PROVOKE ACNE
False! It is a common belief that oils or products with oils are comedogenic and pore-clogging. This is just not true! Some oils can potentially suffocate the skin, such as mineral oil, but many oils are very good for the skin and won't clog pores and cause acne at all. In fact, many of them clear up acne and reduce your natural oil production, making you less shiny and reducing the amount of pore-clogging material upon your complexion. Oils such as Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Safflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Soybean Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Macadamia Nut Oil are all safe and effective for facial and body skin care.


4) CHOCOLATE AND GREASY FOODS CAUSE BREAKOUTS
False! There is no evidence indicating that consuming chocolate and greasy foods...

The properties within honey fight aging, prevent and cure acne, boost the skin’s rigidity, cell turnover, softness and maintain the overall health and appearance of your largest organ and first defense against the environment. Use products with honey regularly and ensure that you are putting your best face forward every day!
