ISPA Awards continued PRODUCTS COOLA Suncare COOLA Suncare believes healthy skin is beautiful skin. With this concept in mind, COOLA created its multitasking Beauty Collection which combines the most efficacious ingredients with Plant Protection active formulas to create makeup products with built-in sun protection. The Beauty Collection can be used as an add-on to existing services and can be applied after treatments without the risk of skin irritation. The collection consists of lip color products, BB creams, setting spray and makeup CHRIS BIRCHBY primer, which all include water-resistant, broad-spectrum SPF. Founder & CEO Saltability ANN BROWN Founder Salt of the Earth Hot stone massage is a staple on many spa treatment menus, but the environmental footprint of traditional stone warmers, with a high water usage and electric load, does not align with the eco-friendly identity of the spa industry. As a solution, Saltability created their Himalayan salt stone warmers which offer an eco-friendly and health-boosting alternative to traditional methods of heating. Using neither water nor chemicals, the warmers emit negative ions which create a healthier spa environment, promoting higher mental alertness and protection against airborne germs. Saltability’s stone warmers have the ability to save the typical 10-treatment room spa up to 20,000 gallons of water per year in addition to delivering an estimated energy efficiency of 80 to 90 percent by using LED technology. Salt of the Earth’s Blend Box allows guests to experience custom-blended scrubs, creams and lotions in their preferred scent and with a shot of thermal powder, hyaluronic acid or anti-aging serum depending on their specific skin-care needs. The Blend Box uses individual, pre-portioned product pouches which eliminates problems such as product overuse, crosscontamination and excessive use of plastic packaging. The Blend Box can be utilized by everyone, from the individual massage therapist running a home-based business to high-end destination spas.
