Introducing: Young.Again
Greek Legend says that Odysseus discovered the Immortelle flower after being shipwrecked on the island of Phaeacia. A princess gave him a vial of the plant’s extract, and the potent plant soothed Odysseus’ wounds and restored his demigod power. Immortelle can be stepped on, wrenched, picked, and probed and yet the flower remains unscathed. Many high end skin care lines including L’Occitane, dōTERRA, & Metamour utilize this plant in their age-defying formulas. Inspired by the restorative properties of this mighty little flower, Kevin Murphy created a rejuvenating hair care line, YOUNG.AGAIN. He also included with his new line, a podcast about the products which we are sharing with YOU! Click HERE to unlock the ancient secrets of the immortelle flower!

What is a paraben?
We’ve all heard: you are what you eat. Have you ever heard: you are what you wear? We know our health is effected by the food we put in our body, but are the products we put on our skin effecting our health just as much?
The skin is the largest organ of the body. Parabens are used as a preservation agent in many items that we put on our body– cosmetics, deodorants, hair products, and self-tanners. The prevalence of parabens in our daily lives is why they’ve been getting so much attention. The molecular make-up of parabens is similar to that of the hormone estrogen. Estrogen has been linked to early puberty in young girls, breast cancer, and has been proven to be carcinogenic in large quantities.
In 2012, the Huffington Post reported that 99% of all breast cancer patients had parabens in their tumors. The FDA has not banned the use of parabens, though their molecular similarity to estrogen and their prevalence within tumors has caused many consumers to ask: are parabens hurting me?
At Amy G Salon, we are committed to the health of our clients. This means that we have a commitment to using paraben-free products.
