The New Seaweed Sloughing Cream From ~ H2O +
~ H2O + introduces Seaweed Sloughing Cream, a rich, dual-action body scrub with special skin-nourishing benefits derived from the nutrients of the sea. The Seaweed Sloughing Cream’s unique formulation resurfaces rough skin, leaving it instantly smooth, revitalized and glowing.
A combination of natural seaweed acids and multi-textured grains sweeps away skin-clogging dead skin cells, sebum and impurities, leaving skin decongested and fresh – and most receptive to moisturization. The result is soft, supple skin. In the summer months, the use of Seaweed Sloughing Cream is the critical body care step for maintaining skin’s tone and even color. By ridding skin of its worn-out surface cells, the formula allows sun protectors and self-tanners to absorb more thoroughly and evenly for superior skin protection and tanning results.
The advanced formula blends other important nutrient-rich sea botanicals to keep skin resilient and protected - including himanthalia, spirulina and nori - known for their powerful anti-aging and nourishing properties.
Seaweed Sloughing Cream produces the best results when massaged over damp skin in a rotating motion with a sponge, loofah or hands, one to three times a week. It is the ideal body treatment for all skin types, keeping dry skin soft, normal skin toned and oil-prone skin clean and refreshed.

H2O Plus introduces an entirely new way to approach shaving. No more nicks. No more burn. Simple tools designed, formulated and targeted to meet the demands of modern grooming. H2O Plus unveils Transactive Shaving Utilities a revolutionary quartet of men's must-have skin essentials formulated for all skin types.
H2O Plus Transactive products cut shaving time in half and fortify men's skin with vitamin-packed nutrients that sooth, rejuvenate and invigorate the face. The Sea Mineral Complex, H2O Plus's unique signature delivery system, is comprised of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium to help skin retain hydration benefits and maintain pH balance. It works in unison with sea grass, sea kelp extract and aloe, to saturate the skin for vital moisture balance while vitamins C & E help protect skin from future damage depleted by both shaving and environmental exposure.
*Precision Shave Gel ($18 US/$28 CDN) is a revolutionary, clean-rinse shave gel that glides the razor over the beard with ultimate precision and protection while shaving. The transparent gel formula guarantees exacting, precise razor strokes without irritation, nicks, cuts, or scrapes and is ideal to shave tricky areas such as the chin, goatees, or sideburns.
*Post-Shave Healing Balm ($19.50 US/$30 CDN) is a super skin soother that instantly hydrates razor sensitive skin and jump starts the natural healing process, while reducing redness. A lightweight oil-free formula, the balm protects, comforts and calms skin to its ideal state while eliminating dryness, itchiness and preventing flaking.
*Cleansing Scrub ($18 US/$28 CDN) is a detoxifying mineral-infused clay that powerfully lathers away dirt and oil while exfoliating beads scrub away razor-dulling dead skin cells leaving the skin clean and prepped for a close, comfortable shave. Cooling extracts stimulate a tough beard for maximum closeness while shaving.
*Hydrating Face Gel ($19.50 US/$30 CDN) is an ultra-light cream-gel daily hydrator that rejuvenates and restores the skin, reducing the appearance of dullness and fine lines. This oil-free, vitamin-rich formula delivers broad-spectrum moisture without shine.

Face the facts. The truth is - acne happens. But who wants to suffer from oily, blemish-prone skin? This month, a glowing, clear complexion is no longer out of your reach! H2O Plus comes to the rescue with our new Acne Rescue Mask, a skin-clearing treatment that helps eliminate blemishes and impurities.
Blended with highly absorbent, skin-protecting sea silt and numerous anti-bacterial agents, Acne Rescue Mask eliminates blemishes by drawing out deep-embedded toxins that can lead to future breakouts, leaving skin purified and decongested. The Acne Rescue Mask also guards skin against over-stripping of essential oils, which often leads to excess oil production.
Sea silt is a highly effective deep cleansing and detoxification agent. It protects the skin against blemish-producing toxins while accelerating exfoliation. Salicylic acid, a commonly used skincare ingredient in acne prevention, offers fast-acting, efficacious results. Oil-controlling extracts such as gigartina, neptune kelp and dulse protect the skin’s strength, activating collagen and elastin synthesis, while vitamins C and E provide antioxidant properties that help protect the skin’s texture.

Skincare manufacturer and retailer H2O Plus today announced the launch of an advertising campaign centered on the company’s well-known skincare line, to run throughout the U.S. and Canada. The campaign is slated to begin in the August issues of beauty and fashion publications.
Rubin Postaer and Associates in Chicago was hired to develop the campaign.
“Rubin Postaer and Associates has created a unique campaign that visually articulates and captures the personality of the H2O Plus brand, further distinguishing us from the competition,” said Cindy Melk, company founder and chief executive. “This effort will help us continue to build brand awareness, reach out to new customers, and further enhance our global brand development strategy.”
This is the first U.S. advertising the company has done since its founding in 1989. “In a category filled with a lot of sameness and repetition, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to create distinctive advertising that doesn’t blend in with the rest of the pack,” said William Marks, Managing Director of Rubin Postaer Chicago.
The appointment of RPA came after a competitive review among several agencies was made necessary after the company’s previous partner had to turn down the assignment because of a conflict.
