PORT COQUITIAM, British Columbia- Jiade Organic Cosmetics Inc., a new company with the philosophy that cosmetics should be food for your skin, will be releasing two new serums this month.

“The serums are made only of organic compressed oils and essential oils,” said Eva Savova, the company’s vice president and chemist. The company’s president, Walter Dullemond, is also a microbiologist. The two develop and manufacture all of their products in their small laboratory.

Jiade is currently awaiting certification from Oregon TILTH, which provides a system that combines strict production standards, on-site inspections, and legally binding contracts to protect the producers and buyers of organic products.

“We make everything by hand. We don’t have any line equipment. Everything is made in very small batches and quality control of the products, the raw materials, and the way we do things is very high,” added Ms. Savova.

She went on to say, “In developing products for our customers, we only use ingredients that are certified organic by their producers. We set ourselves to a higher standard because cosmetics are also food for your skin, which is a major body organ. Whatever you put on your skin goes directly through your bloodstream, internal organs, and fat tissue.”

The two new serums coming out this month will be Truly Organic Serum for Sensitive Skin and Truly Organic Repairing Serum “that can balance the production of oil from the Sebaceous glands (the oil glands in your skin),” said Ms. Savova.

The serums contain no water and are very concentrated versions of the company’s moisturizers, according to Ms. Savova.

In development, the company also has three facial masks. There will be a chocolate-based purifying and moisturizing mask, containing other ingredients including: honey, milk, oat flower, and orange peel powder. The coco will be purchased through Fair Trade vendors.

Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach to promoting sustainability and empowering producers in developing country. The movement advocates the payment of a fair prices as well as social and environmental standards in areas related to production. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries.

The second mask will be a rejuvenating product, formulated to diminish the signs of sun and age spots. Its ingredient list will include oat flower and plant extracts.

The third mask has been given the working name of “The Green Salad.” It will be marketed as a pore cleaning and skin nourishing mask, with ingredients including: spinach, paprika, and barley.

Also in development is a sunscreen. “My dream is to make a sunscreen on the base of completely natural and organic ingredients, without using titanium and zinc oxide (which act as physical barriers over the skin to protect it from the sun),” said Ms. Savova, who wants to create a holistic product that boosts the skins own defensive abilities instead of providing a chemical barrier.

The company’s current line of available products include: toners, moisturizers, cleaners, and a night cream that can be found through its website at jiadecosmetics.com, along with a list retailers that sell the company’s products.

In addition, a point of pride for the company is its relationship with SOS Children’s Village Canada. Jiade makes a donation from every purchase to the international children’s charity, which provides long-term care for orphans and children in need.

“We were part of a project they started in Namibia for children that are orphans, and they have already built 18 homes. It’s almost done now, and we will continue working with them on other projects related to Africa. This was and still is our main goal. We use cosmetics as a step toward this,” said Ms. Savova.
