ALL NATURAL "BARD'S"
SHAMPOO AND BODY WASH
The Bard's formulation was developed in Livingston, Texas
by Beverly Athey, who made fine natural soaps for many years,
and Roger A. Deal, a chemist specializing in herbal formulations.
The Bard's process does not follow the normal soap making
procedures and is a new proprietary process. The Bard's
name comes from the inventors, Beverly Athey and Roger A.
Deal.
One unique feature of BARD's is the combination of capsicum
(a proprietary formulation produced from cayenne) and emu
oil. Capsicum belongs to a class of herbs known as rubifactants
which stimulate blood circulation in the skin. This is the
sensation experienced when tasting a hot pepper. Grandma's
mustard plaster remedy works on the same principal causing
increased blood flow to the congested chest area.
In normal aging, baldness begins on top of the head, an area
of diminished circulation. Skin conditions such as psoriasis
are usually most prevalent on legs and arms, also areas of
diminished circulation. The BARD'S formulation is very gentle
and does not cause any unpleasant skin sensation.
Emu has been demonstrated to be the fastest and most penetrating
oil into the skin, thus making it an excellent transdermal
carrier for other moisturizers and therapeutic ingredients.
Emu is a natural oil that is non-toxic, non-comedogenic
(does not clog pores), hypo-allergenic (not irritating)
and gentle for most skin types. Also, emu has been noted
to be an effective anti-inflammatory.
The largest organ in the body is the skin which is nourished
and maintained by the blood. With increasing age, obesity,
lack of exercise, poor diet and the multitude of today's
other health issues, circulation in the skin can be compromised.
To futher compound skin problems, many of the conventional
skin and hair products (soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc) contain
petroleum derived ingredients that have been demonstrated
to be harmful to the body and in some cases carcinogenic.
The skin must be able to breath as it is a natural outlet
for cellular respiration by-products as well as body temperature
regulation. Clogging of the pores by unnatural and harmful
substances can prevent these processes and open pathways
for parasites and disease.
Some general and repeated feed-back includes:
Softer skin and a decrease in fine facial wrinkles Gradual
disappearance of skin blemishes
Increase in hair body with less loss Improvement of psoriasis
conditions
Gradual color increase in gray head and facial hair
Bard's Shampoo and Body Wash is all natural and does not
contain any petroleum derivatives including the preservative.
It contains saponified oils of olive, palm, coconut, lard,
and castor with glycerol, emu oil, capsicum and citric acid
(preservative).
Bard's Shampoo and Body Wash yields a low suds - rich lather
upon wetting. For shampoo, wet the hair, rub the Bard's
bar in the hands to create the rich lather and then work
vigorously into the hair and scalp. On the body, either
a wash cloth or a loofah works well. Massage the lather
well onto the body for the unique cleansing and conditioning
result.
Bards has given the most attention to the quality of the
product rather than overwhelming the consumer with fragrance.
Only a minimum of fragrance is employed.
