Revitacura - Help for the Overweight in Langkawi

Obesity and overweight has become a global epidemic, affecting more than one third of the world's population. The problem is that excess weight isn't just a beauty problem - it's a real health risk as it is associated with cardiovascular disease and hypertension, cancer, kidney disease, and many other serious illnesses.

In Langkawi Geopark, one woman wants to help residents achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Eva Zimmermann, skipper of Blue Water Star Sailing's Damai Indah, has teamed with Paul Penders to establish a facility for weight loss coaching, sports activities, cooking classes, and other programs. The project, which is still underway, involves rehabilitating a property, which Paul Penders has donated, near Kuah and developing programs appropriate for Langkawi residents and visitors.

Much work remains to be done and Revitacura can use assistance and volunteers! To learn more, or to participate in this exciting project, click here.

 


Paul Penders Showroom Opens in Australia


By Bee, Australia

Our distributing company Euro Ventures, Ltd. in Australia just opened a new wonderful showroom and product training centre in the popular "Centro Box Hill Shopping Centre" in cosmopolitan Melbourne. Now Paul Penders products are available right in the heart of beautiful Victoria as well.

It took months of preparation before the showroom was opened. Jess, who manages all the activities, was previously working with prestigious brands such as Shiseido, Lancome and Christian Dior. As a matter of fact, she won twice the "Victoria State Counter Manager & Beauty Consultant of the Year Awards", one time in 2009; another time in 2010. Jess has more than 20 years unique experience in the beauty industry.
 
Being made totally familiar by Bee, the managing director of Euro Ventures (exclusive importer for Paul Penders in Australia) she start to appreciate the uniqueness and remarkable potency of our natural botanic formulations, made in small batches, versus the cosmetic products made by large cosmetic corporations.
 
Jess is well aware that in Australia natural pureness for cosmetics is the preferred standard for a growing amount of concerned consumers. She made a true commitment to a full time business in educating, promoting and marketing our Paul Penders natural cosmetics in Victoria.

Since the opening of the Paul Penders showroom, annex training centre, Jess taught a growing Australian clientele and other interested people on the specifics of Paul Penders natural cosmetics, including our various award-winning products.
 
Jess and Joseph (husband and business partner) work closely together with a very successful Australian website "Living Safe" that educates on cruelty free and non-toxic products and much more founded by Nicole Groch www.livingsafe.com.au

On this website Intensive Clarifying Therapy was recently reviewed by professionals and as a special gesture ICT is now available with a special price to the clients of the Paul Penders store as well.
 
Nicole is the leading Australian hair & makeup artist besides a very well-known animal-rights activist. She is a long-time, personal friend of Paul and together they often address issues of animal rights connected to cosmetic testing.

Of course, we are truly thankful for having committed distributors in Australia; people who live by a natural life style and the philosophy of kindness themselves as well. Does this not ultimately bring all of us towards a better world?
 
Paul Penders International congratulates Bee and Calvin Goh; owners of Paul Penders Australia, as well as Jess and Joseph for their achievement. We wish them lots of success in expanding our natural cosmetics in many parts of this beautiful country.

When in Victoria please visit our showroom and training centre or visit www.nature2u.com.au For a great Paul Penders natural organic beauty treatment experience just call 0466913328 as well.
 

Small Habits That Create A Better World
Compare a happy R&D of a small natural cosmetics company with a happy gathering of local youngsters. The R&D play in our labs and local children play on our land and all of them enjoy astonishing sea views. One party is protected from the hot sun under a roof; the other uses the shadow of a palm tree. Yet all feel happy but under a different circumstance. What is this story about?
 
More than ever in the history of our planet, we must become responsible in life in whatever we do. Whether we are young or old. Whether we live in a cold climate or in a tropical Malaysia. When all are not becoming more responsible we stand to lose a beautiful world what we still can call paradise. But the question arises... for how long can we still call mother earth a paradise?

At Paul Penders Home Office we live by simple community rules that help to keeping all of us happy. That is simply in looking after ourselves in terms of cleaning up after ourselves; it's that simple while it creates a difference when the same rule is applied to all who share this planet. Simple things make for positive changes when we cooperate, even starting with enjoying a cup of tea and clean up our own cup! Enjoy a cup of tea but do not leave your cup for the next person to clean it, or do you?
 
Are you one where mother never taught to clean up after yourself? Rather put your empty cup in the sink for someone else to clean? Because you are "too busy"? or too important? or...

Now let's look to something bigger but what applies to the same golden rule of cleaning up after yourself? How about an empty water bottle or a plastic bag that we so careless throw away? See what the result is from your empty water bottle or plastic bag? The picture below is just a multiplication of an entire lazy same like you people and it has become a mountain waste that could have been avoided just by taking a little bit care, and it saves our planet. Thus to clean up the world starts with education, right?

Therefore, these great youngsters who enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and enjoy using our fresh natural seawater swimming pool understand and no longer leave plastic bags at a well maintained property. We and even they have been part of beach cleaning parties for few years. Yesterday Eva and her crew went out together with local youngsters, also as part of education and that beauty and happiness can also be created by preservation and using our mind.

To make it a better world starts with the one that does not wash her/his used cup of tea. Its all about the right mentality and we need to educate those who don't know. Of course we cannot be responsible for others. And at this precious, beautiful part in the world called Langkawi UNESCO Geopark Rainforest Island, a one hour flight from the capital Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, some of us kindly help to protect what must be protected for the future of all of us.

 

Newspaper Confirms Plant Enzyme Benefits

The Star, Malaysia's largest newspaper, in a Special, wrote about the beneficial effects plant enzymes have on keeping skin healthy and beautiful.
 
Plant enzymes work as a tool to maintain radiant skin, as well as they repair adverse skin conditions such as large skin pores, blemishes, spots, discolorations and excessive sebum production.
 
The article confirms what we at Paul Penders have been saying and writing about for several years:
 
That - as the article says - "as we age, the "glue" that binds dead cells to our skin hardens and make it more difficult for us to get rid of dead skin."
 
Therefore, "regular skin exfoliation is essential in order to remove the dead skin cells," allowing the skin to produce new, healthy cells.
 
Paul Penders website  shortly discusses the same. Since early 2009, we have used various types of plant enzymes mixed with coconut water extract in ALL Paul Penders skin and body care products.
 
Why?
 
Because plant enzymes are considered great "super cleansers".
 
In Paul Penders products the plant enzymes' effects are beyond the effect of a cleanser, as enzymes are gently proteolytic exfoliants that expel the dead cells from the skin.
 
They also help in regulating the sebaceous flow, following the needs of your skin. Plant enzymes help creating an extraordinary smooth skin and a refreshed, clear and youthful complexion. Plant enzymes can reduce skin pores too.

This is why all Paul Penders skin and body care products now contain plant enzymes.
 
This is also why we are getting more and more positive responses from Paul Penders customers - from women of all ages, and from all countries.
 
Thanks to "The Star" for confirming what our R&D team has worked on for several years - and already have implemented in our products.
