| My name is Chris Larson, Inventor of Larson's Cracked Skin Cream and Founder of Larson's Skin Care. I can't remember a time I did not suffer from severe dry skin. To make matters worse, I worked outside in some of the harshest weather conditions on earth. From the oilfields of Alaska, to the deserts of California. Extreme conditions - brutal on your skin. |
| "Cracked skin is painful" |
| Cracked fingertips? Somehow you seem to bump them every time you reach for something. When your heels are cracked, every step feels like you're walking on broken glass. Rough elbows - they itch, and they're ugly. |
| "Like you, I was tired of wasting money" |
| I've tried almost every product available to heal my skin. I used everything made for humans, including "Intensive", "Shielding", and "Miracle" products. I was desperate, then turned to feed supply stores. I've tried products made for horse hooves and cow udders - nothing healed my skin. |
| "Nothing worked - until now..." |
| I decided to do something about it! I was determined to find a remedy, and the journey began. I started researching what caused skin to become so dry, it cracked. I studied how skin worked and what it needed to be healthy. |
| I began looking into the effects of ingredients that over the counter lotions contain. I was not surprised. I found that many lotions are made up of the cheapest fillers available and many contain additives that actually cause your skin to dry. |
Why would a product made to moisturize actually dry out your skin? You guessed it - so you'll use more lotion! No wonder they did nothing to help my symptoms. I was determined to find the right combination of the right ingredients and actually heal the skin. |
| "Stay with Natural Ingredients!" |
Your skin is your body's largest organ, and has a very important job. Skin filters and protects your body from the environment.. I avoided the use of harmful chemical ingredients. Take a look at the ingredients in products you use now. Research them - the side effects of most are actually harmful! Those ingredient are absorbed and enter your body. |
| "I used more healing ingredients than any other skin care made." |
| I chose to use only premium grade oils, butters, and other pure ingredients for my products. Larson's is unique in its' ability to penetrate the upper layers of skin and take nourishment to newly forming cells. New skin cells come back healthy and vibrant - the way they should be. |
| I began with moisturizers like cocoa and shea butter, then added aloe and tea tree in precise proportions. I avoided any fragrance and instead chose to keep the scent of the raw ingredients our products contain.
Larson's unique black packaging is by design too, the dark container protects the natural oils from sunlight and prolongs the potency of natural ingredients. |
| "Made for real-life people..." |
|
| I created the best skin care I had ever used, but what about other people? Would it work on them too? I began giving it to some of the toughest, hardest working men and women I knew. My goals were to provide relief and repair the skin. Those who used my creams experienced relief, some for the first time ever. People began asking for more; they asked for samples to give to their friends and family. Word spread and demand grew. |
|
| "It took a lot to make it all happen." |
| I am thankful to have met and made some great friends along the way. Our unique packaging and logo design won a Gold Addy Award from the American Advertising Federation in 2006. We also received national recognition, featured in American Corporate Identity 2007. |
|
| The greatest reward comes in hearing from my satisfied customers; like the time I received a hand-written letter from a woman glad to have found a cream that finally worked on her sensitive skin - she had been looking for over 65 years! I often receive letters from both men and women using our Cracked Skin Cream on their face and hear about how they have taken years off their appearance. I get letters from mothers explaining how after trying everything else, their children's stubborn eczema has disappeared. One women wrote to say her house is "filled with music" because after suffering debilitating cracks on his fingers, her husband can now play his guitar again. Workers no longer have to wear tape over their painful cracked hands and fingers, seniors are easing bruised thin skin, and psoriasis and eczema patients are finally finding relief! |
|
| I've even had a 4-year old girl send me a hand drawn picture of her hands. This child was so happy to have the pain, redness and cracks from eczema go away, she felt compelled to draw me a picture. That picture hangs in my office today. |
