Raw Coconut Cream by RMS Beauty!  We cannot wait to get our hands on this do-it-all moisturizer to go with our do-it-all bar!!  Made with 100% pure, certified organic, raw, unrefined, virgin coconut oil, it could make a very nice companion to the Wonderbar, acting as a makeup remover AND moisturizer for face and body.

We will report back with our results as soon as we give it a test drive.  If you have tried it, please share your thoughts… 

We wanted to address some of the questions that have been posted on a few skincare forums regarding the Wonderbar.  We’ve compiled comprehensive information on the product based on input from the creator, the manufacturer, customers, and our own 15+ month experience using Wonderbar. If you have additional questions or concerns, or if you have had issues with Wonderbar despite using the product correctly and consistently for the recommended six weeks, please contact us at info@wonderbarusa.com.

Many users will experience the normal symptoms of the healing phase (dryness, irritation, white bumps, breakouts, brown patches) before achieving the clear, balanced, healthy skin Wonderbar promises. If customers stop using the treatment before the healing phase is complete—or use incompatible products with the regimen—they will not experience the benefits of Wonderbar. It is imperative that users follow the recommended course to accurately judge its efficacy and see the dramatic results Wonderbar delivers.

Like an exercise regimen, Wonderbar requires commitment—if you give up after two weeks or “cheat,” it won’t work. Wonderbar isn’t a quick-fix solution or a one-time-use treatment—it’s as much a part of your ongoing health care regimen as a quality shampoo or a daily multi-vitamin.

The questions:

What is in the Wonderbar and what does each component do?

a) Patented Base: provides a mildly acidic, pH-balanced cleansing environment

b) Moor: provides gentle, natural detoxification

c) Exclusive Microalgae Extract: heals, nourishes, protects and moisturizes while promoting cell turnover

d) Olive and Chamomile Oils: protect and hydrate

What causes breakouts during the healing phase?

a) The Heilmoor clay in the Wonderbar detoxifies your skin and draws out toxins, which can cause breakouts as toxins are brought to the surface.

What are the toxins that the Wonderbar claims to purge?

a) Wonderbar draws out many of the toxins that skincare and cosmetics deposit, which can accumulate over long periods of time. The greater the buildup of chemicals under the surface of your skin, the more severe the healing phase. Thus, children or adults with “virgin” skin will experience a minimal healing phase.

Why does skin become dry and irritated during the healing crisis?

a) Dryness is a sign of skin’s healing process and occurs before skin reaches optimal balance. We recommend that you continue to use the bar during this time and complete the regimen. The dryness subsides with continued use and your skin eventually begins to produce its own moisture, restoring natural balance. A good basic moisturizer can help keep skin hydrated during the dry phase and is safe to use in conjunction with the Wonderbar.

Can the healing crisis cause rough brown marks to appear on your skin?

a) Yes, but these are brown patches of dry skin that eventually come off with continued use.

Does Wonderbar claim to get rid of Melasma?

a) No, we claim that the bar fades hyper-pigmentation. Customers have shared that Wonderbar heals Melasma, but it is not among our claims.

What drives the cell turnover when using the Wonderbar?

a) The Chlorey’nahre.

What is Chlorey’nahre exactly?

a) Chlorey’nahre (CLO) is the name for an exclusive combination of algae extracts combined with hMA, which is extracted specifically to formulate Wonderbar. Chlorey’nahre is the healing component of the product and is renowned for its ability to penetrate and heal the skin.

What happens to your skin if you leave the Wonderbar on too long?

a) Wonderbar acts as a powerful exfoliant, toner and cleanser in one. 3-5 minutes twice daily is all you need to heal and rebalance skin.  Due to the potency of the product, we recommend that you avoid actives such as retinols or other types of “acid” products—the combination is too harsh and irritating.

Have clinical trials been done with the Wonderbar?

a) No, our customer results speak for themselves.

What is Tiffany Masterson’s background?

a) As a partner in Wonderbar Distributors, I have received feedback from hundreds of customers and am extremely familiar with the proper usage and benefits of the bar. However, I am not a scientist or dermatologist; customers should also seek the advice of a dermatologist when necessary.

Is the Wonderbar the same bar as Eumora?

a) No, the Wonderbar is a more advanced and more effective formulation made by the same manufacturer.

WHICH MOISTURIZER AND SUNSCREEN SHOULD I USE?

a) A good rule of thumb in choosing a moisturizer (or sunblock) is to stick with one that has a sole purpose: in the case of a moisturizer, to provide a barrier that locks in moisture, and in the case of a sunblock, to protect.  Plain and simple.  Try to avoid moisturizers with added perfumes and chemicals, SPFs, retinoids, AHAs, Salicylic Acids, etc.  For sun protection, choose a physical sunblock with the active ingredients Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide.  This will sit on top of your skin and provide a shield from the sun, as opposed to penetrating your pores.

and, last but not least, this question usually comes to us in the form of a scream through the phone…

WHY IS IT SO SMALL?!?!?

a) Precious things sometimes come in small packages.  The size is not at all indicative of the life of the bar.  It lasts a lot longer than it appears it would and it is not soap, so if thought of as soap, the size might disappoint you.  When people use the bar and see how long it lasts, they are delighted and amazed.

We hope this will answer some of the questions about our rising star, the Wonderbar.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if your question wasn’t answered.  Curiosity is a great thing and when it comes to the Wonderbar, it is clearly peaking off the charts! 

I think this has been confusing for some, so we wanted to clarify further.  When we recommend against the use of mineral powder with the Wonderbar, we are specifically referring to the kind that you “buff” into your skin.  The combination of the two products can cause a breakout.  Other liquid makeups that contain minerals are okay and people do use them without any problem.  Just make sure that you are staying away from added chemicals and fragrances.  Also, it’s great to experiment and find what works best for you.  Some people use a loose setting powder, while others mix in a bit of foundation with their pure moisturizer.  There are many options out there so play around until you find what’s best for you!

No, because that would be a waste of time.  But it’s the same thing as giving up on the Wonderbar at three weeks!  You are throwing your money away, not to mention denying yourself the gift of healthy skin.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “I’m dry, should I quit using this?” or “I’m broken out.  Does this mean I’m allergic?”  The answer to both would be no.  This is a process and it takes time.  People who give up at three weeks are misunderstanding what the Wonderbar is and what it does.  I understand that it can be uncomfortable and less than ideal to break out and get dry, but if you want to get the toxins out and heal your skin, then you have to run the marathon.

I have a friend who recently bought a Wonderbar.  She is a skeptic, it’s okay- I knew she would come around.  Anyway, she understood the product before she started.  I’d describe her as mentally prepared.  Mainly because she spent the weekend with me at the beach and listened to me talk to clients about the healing crisis the whole time.  So, when she got her first “cyst” five days in, she was so excited.  I got this voicemail and it said, “Guess what???? It’s working!!  I have a big pimple on my forehead and I’m so excited!!”.  I was immediately worried she would quit- some people do.  However, she hung in there like a champ and I have to tell you in all honesty, she has never looked better.  Her skin is even, balanced and the bumps and redness that have been there since college are gone.

Regarding that dryness people feel…..they tend to think immediately that it is a bad “dry”.  Like a soap “dry”.  Just to reassure you, it is not.  It is a good “dry”.  A healing“dry”, and necessary to the process I might add.  If you scraped your knee and it was red and raw, what would happen next?  It would get dry and itchy?  Then would it get darker and maybe turn into a scab?  Then it would come off and what might be underneath it all??  New skin would be underneath it all and the old damaged skin would be gone…….this is the healing process.  You can get dry patches with the Wonderbar and they can even turn a little brownish, right before they come off!  This would be an extreme healing crisis, but it happens occasionally and right where it needs to.  It happened to me on my neck and it only took 13 days for me to see healthy skin underneath…..others simply describe a tightness and dryness that subsides as their skin begins to find the perfect balance.

So hang in there, you are not alone.  There are hundreds of other faces running this marathon with you, but in this case, it doesn’t matter who gets to the finish line first……only matters that you get there!

 

There is no easy way to say this, but it’s over.  I know we haven’t known each other that long, but when it’s not right, it’s not right.  I know you will make someone very happy, though, and I hope you know that I wish you the best.   We work against each other and every time I try to do my job, you come along and it ends in disaster!  We don’t work well TOGETHER.  You always seem to just want to cover things up, but I like to tackle our issues and get everything out in the open.  Almost every time there is really dramatic crisis, you are the culprit.  Frankly, you smother me too much and I feel the relationship is toxic.    

So, I wish you all the best and I will hold the memories close- even though they are slightly traumatic. 

Regretfully,

The Wonderbar    

p.s. You can keep the acne, I always thought it liked you better anyway.

I want to tell you all about a “thank-you” email I received from a client.  She wrote that IF she had STOPPED using her Wonderbar at two weeks (which she almost did because of the dryness she felt), she NEVER would have believed that a product could change her skin SO dramatically….and for the better.  I know that there are many people who bought a Wonderbar in early 2009 and gave up simply because they didn’t understand the PROCESS.  Today, we send a more detailed explanation with every Wonderbar so that people will really be clear on what to expect…..and to send the all-important message:  “Hang in there! You won’t be sorry!”

The key things for a new user to remember are as follows:

• Do not worry if you get dry in the first 2-3 weeks, it is a typical reaction.
• 
  
• Please do not try to “scrub” or exfoliate the dry layer of skin off, let it happen on its own.  It will come off when it’s ready.
  
• 
  
• Try to stick with all-natural, non-toxic products.  A pure facial oil and a physical sun block are good for our skin and will work well with the Wonderbar.
  
• 
  
• Pay attention to your skin, if you feel you need more or less, act accordingly.  The Wonderbar is something you’ll get to know and understand how it best works with your particular skin.
• 
  
• Do not hesitate to reach out with questions or for guidance!  That is what we are here for…you have made an investment with expectations and we want to make sure you get the most out of it.

A skin-refining slab that’s truly wunderbar

Posted Tuesday, December 29, 2009 by Marci Robin Zitner, NewBeauty Senior Online Editor

Every now and then, a new product shows up on my desk, and I can instantly detect its cult-following potential. It had been a while since those alarms went off, but then, the adorable and very aptly named wonderbar arrived.

I have a weird obsession with bars of soap, and before doing my research, I gladly assumed that the wonderbar was just another block o’ cleanser. In my defense, its charmingly unassuming presentation makes that an easy misinterpretation. But even though it lathers and cleanses, the wonderbar is way more than soap. In fact, it’s not soap at all.

There are two key ingredients in the wonderbar: chlorey’nahre and moor. The former is a special algae derivative, and the latter is an expensive Austrian mud (clay) that encompasses the essences of more than 700 herbs. Together, this blend is said to improve skin in almost every conceivable way: firming, minimizing pores, moisturizing, brightening, balancing, softening, fighting free radicals, controlling acne, lightening discoloration, reducing rosacea redness—you name it.

If you’re like me, you’re thinking, There must be a catch. And in fact, there is. Wondeux, the brains behind the wonderbar, are open about that catch, because it’s all part of the beautifying process. The catch is something called the “healing crisis,” a period of true detoxification of the skin that may result in temporary dryness, itching, or a breakout. But once those toxins are out, the next phase is remarkably radiant skin.

Not everyone goes through the “healing crisis,” but knowing my luck, I definitely will. That’s why I haven’t started using it yet—I don’t want to be broken-out on New Year’s Eve! But the very next day, I’ll be making the wonderbar a major part of my skincare regimen, and I’ll keep you updated on my skin’s evolution!

I feel like I should revisit this topic.  I get many phone calls and emails every day from people who are applying the Wonderbar as a mask and sleeping in it.  Many people rave about the results, while others wonder why they get too dry.  Is it normal?  How can I tell?  Yes, it is normal to get dry in the first 3-4 weeks.  Your skin is adjusting.  Anything and everything can be normal in the beginning, but after the first few weeks, if the dryness is still a problem, look to the products you are using and the amount of time you are leaving the Wonderbar on your skin.  Tweak your routine until you find what works best for you.

I slept in it from the beginning and have never experienced any dryness since week 4, but people have different skin, habits, genes, environments, diets, etc.  Make-up and powders and creams and potions can sometimes clog your pores, thus contributing to  breakouts…your skin will react to the Wonderbar based on exactly what YOUR skin can handle.

Final answer: only use the Wonderbar for 3-5 minutes twice daily until your skin is balanced.  After that, experiment.  You might find that you can sleep with the suds on your face every night, or not.  You may find that you want to only use it once per day.  There is no hard, fast rule.  You can have a long, beautiful and evolving relationship with the Wonderbar, as long as you don’t let a little dryness discourage you.  Just make the appropriate adjustments and enjoy the results!

At around the tenth month of using the Wonderbar,  I noticed something interesting.  About once a month, I was getting a dry, invisible layer of skin on my face and neck.  At first I didn’t know what was going on, but then figured out that just because the initial “big” dryness passes after 2-3 weeks, doesn’t mean the bar stops doing what it came to do.  It keeps working.  Realizing that it was the Chlorey’nahre promoting the cells to turn over at a faster rate than normal, I took a baby washcloth and gently buffed the dead layer of skin right off.  There was no irritation or redness, my skin had clearly adjusted to the product, so I knew there would be no harm in giving things a little push.  My skin looked great and healthy (and it was SO soft!).

Gently remove dry skin after applying the Wonderbar....

The great news is that while the bar is an exfoliate and will aid in rinsing dead skin cells away with every use, it is very gentle and occasionally one might notice a gentle buffing just helps things along.  Please note that in the first 2-3 weeks of use, we highly recommend against any scrubbing, exfoliating or buffing.  Your skin most likely has not adjusted to the Wonderbar yet and still needs time.

Everyone’s skin is different, but the one thing that seems to be consistent is that people love it as long as they use it as directed.
