Nude Therapies Aims to Solve Consumer Dissatisfaction in Body Products

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

A recent survey conducted by Mintel shows consumers are widely displeased with their body products, indicating a large gap between product claims and customer experience. A new cosmeceutical body line, Nude Therapies by Rhonda Allison Cosmeceuticals, aims to change the results by using the same effective ingredients found in face care products.


According to Rhonda Allison, founder and CEO of Rhonda Allison Cosmeceuticals, the dissatisfaction could be a result of ineffective levels of high-quality, active ingredients, but advances in science could provide the results many consumers are searching for.


The Mintel report, which focused specifically on moisturizers, showed that 79 percent of users wish their lotions lasted longer; nearly half of them said their skin continues to feel dry, even immediately after applying the product. This report comes on the heels of a similar report issued by Mintel last year that revealed 31 percent of women in the U.S. distrust the claims of anti-aging products.


Many over-the-counter moisturizers and anti-aging body products fail to provide hydration either because the skin isnt exfoliated regularly or because the formula lacks the active ingredients necessary to restore the skin, Allison said. When skin is not properly exfoliated it keeps beneficial ingredients from absorbing into the skin. Often, too, the products lack adequate levels of high-quality active ingredients.


Regular exfoliation is a critical component of skin care. Exfoliating the body promotes cell turnover, helps remove the dead outer layers of skin, and paves the way for beneficial ingredients and nutrients to work into the cells.


Proper cleansing and exfoliation provide the foundation for healthy skin care regimens, Allison said. It initiates deep stimulation, in essence breaking the skin down to allow skin-building and nourishing ingredients to penetrate deep into the dermis. Intelligent ingredients those enhanced by scientific advancements build upon that foundation.


Ingredients like alpha hydroxyl acids, salicylic, L-lactic, oleic and linoleic acids, and retinol, which are found in the Nude Therapies Ultra Exfole and Peel Cream combine exfoliation and peeling to enhance hydration and rejuvenation. They also address other skin issues including hyperpigmentation, keratosis pilaris, acne, aging, dull form, slack skin and cellulite bumping.


To actually see results from body care products, it is essential for exfoliation to be followed with high-quality skin-nourishing and fortifying ingredients, Allison added. This includes organic plant stem cells, growth factors, peptides, amino acids, and antioxidants, to name a few. The goal is to treat the body with the same ingredients typically reserved for facial care products.


Nourishing formulas like the Nude Therapies Bio Reform 28 and Energizing Peptide Spritz support healthy capillary blood flow, improve oxygenation, plumps, firms, and rejuvenates the skin by improving cellular communication and tissue growth activation.


A skin-care regimen that includes exfoliation, peeling and powerful age-reversal formulations like Bio Reform 28 provides an effective way to achieve youthful, supple, polished skin, and often times can serve as an alternative to costly invasive procedures, Allison said.


High-quality intelligent ingredients that have shown to produce results include:

-->Organic stem cells, which are extracted from plant and apple stem cells and have the ability to promote longevity in human cells

-->New-generation peptides, like palmitoyl tetrapeptide and oligopeptide work to improve tissue elasticity and firmness while stimulating collagen production

-->Matrix Metalloproteinase Enzyme Inhibitor Complex, which reduces activity of enzymes that destroy and degrade the skins collagen network

-->Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), an essential protein that accelerates cell regeneration

-->Bellis Perennis (Daisy Flower), the polyphenol-rich lightener that inhibits excess melanin and lightens the skin surface


These ingredients are also found in the Rhonda Allison Nude Therapies Body line. For more information visit, http://www.rhondaallison.com/Nude_Therapies.

Microsoft Researcher to Receive ACM Award for Powerful New Tools to Solve Today's Computational Problems

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

The ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT) http://sigact.acm.org will present its 2011 Knuth Prize to Ravi Kannan of Microsoft Research Labs India for developing influential algorithmic techniques aimed at solving long-standing computational problems. Kannans contributions address the challenges of computation with massive data that characterize todays information-driven environment. His foundational work spans many areas of theoretical computer science including lattices and their applications, geometric algorithms, machine learning, and computational linear algebra. The Knuth Prize, named in honor of Donald Knuth of Stanford University who has been called the "father" of the analysis of algorithms, will be presented at the ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC), held as part of the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC), June 7, 2011, in San Jose, CA. Kannan will give the Knuth Prize Lecture to an FCRC plenary audience.


Much of Kannans work has focused on efficient algorithms for mathematical and geometric problems in computer science. One of his research papers, published in 1990, has been called by some one of the most remarkable algorithmic achievements ever. It addresses the issue of easy formulas for volumes of simple three-dimensional objects like spheres and cubes. The paper, written with Martin Dyer of the University of Leeds and Alan Frieze of Carnegie Mellon University, shows how to efficiently produce estimates of the volumes of arbitrary high-dimensional convex sets. The method they developed uses random walks to do geometric sampling, a technique now central to the theory of algorithms. The winner of the Fulkerson Prize in Discrete Mathematics in 1991, this paper also introduced the notion of geometric isoperimetry, a measure of an area marked by boundaries, to theoretical computer science.


In his breakthrough 1991 paper, Kannan tackled the Frobenius problem, which seeks to find the largest number that cannot arise from a combination of certain denominations. For example, it is not possible to make seven dollars from a combination of three and five dollar bills, but every amount eight and higher is possible. Kannans paper gave the first efficient algorithm for finding this Frobenius number. This algorithm also led to important developments in integer programming and quantifier elimination.


Kannan was also cited for his research on algorithms for finding low-rank approximations to matrices, applicable to principal component analysis, which was conducted with Frieze and Santosh Vempala, then of Carnegie Mellon University. In a 1999 paper with Frieze, Kannan introduced the Weak Regularity Lemma, which has become an important new combinatorial tool in areas including sublinear algorithms, streaming algorithms, and graph limits.


A principal Researcher at Microsoft Research India, Kannan leads the algorithms research group. He is the also the first adjunct faculty of Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Science. Before joining Microsoft, he was a professor of computer science and of applied mathematics at Yale University. He previously taught at Carnegie Mellon University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.


A graduate with a B. Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, Kannan earned a Ph.D. at Cornell University.


The Knuth Prize is given every 18 months by ACM SIGACT and the IEEE Technical Committee on the Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science and includes a $ 5,000 award.
