I'm Bob Root, Keys Chief Engineer and today we're diving into something that's been creating quite a buzz in the natural skincare world.
We're talking about Nextra Body, an all-natural, whole-body anti-aging moisturizer that's designed to rejuvenate your skin from head to toe—this isn't your typical body lotion. Frankly, Nextra Body is one of the most universally functional products on the market. Punta

The Problem It Solves
Here's the thing about aging. We spend time and money taking care of our faces, right? We apply serums, creams, retinols. But our bodies—our necks, décolletage, hands, and arms—often get neglected. Yet that's exactly where age becomes visible first.

Nextra Body changes that equation. It's a luxurious collagen-building moisturizer formulated with premium, all-natural ingredients specifically designed to combat the visible signs of aging across your entire body. We're talking about reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, enhancing firmness and elasticity, and restoring that radiant, youthful appearance we all want to maintain.

The Star Ingredient
At the heart of Nextra Body is Element 6, Keys' breakthrough natural retinol alternative. Now, if you've ever avoided retinol because of irritation or sensitivity, pay attention here.
Element 6 delivers powerful anti-aging results—retinol-like action that reduces fine lines and clears skin
texture—without the irritation that synthetic retinols can cause. It's derived from sustainable Amazonian plant extracts, which means you're getting high-performance skincare with clean, natural ingredients. That's the sweet spot everyone is looking for.

The Supporting Cast
Element 6 doesn't work alone. Keys Nextra Body is a symphony of nature's most potent anti-aging ingredients.
There's hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and plumping out fine lines. Betulinic acid for firmness and elasticity. Shea butter and vegan squalane for nourishing, balanced moisture. And then we have the power-players: avocado oil and black seed oil packed with antioxidants, green coffee oil to help calm inflammation, cucumber seed oil to soothe sensitive skin, and carrot seed oil to rejuvenate texture and tone.
Even the aromatic oils—bergamot, clary sage, and ylang ylang—are doing work. They brighten skin tone, help balance oil production, and provide that luxurious sensory experience that makes skincare feel like self-care, not just a routine.

Why This Matters
The secret is synergy. Separately, each ingredient is impressive, but together they're greater than the sum of their parts. You're getting a collagen-building lotion that hydrates, nourishes, and revitalizes without any of the harsh chemicals or irritants you'd find in many conventional anti-aging products.
And for those of us who care about what we put on our skin—about purity, efficacy, and sustainability—this hits all the marks.

Nextra Body is an investment in your skin's future. Aging is inevitable, but how your skin ages? That's something you can absolutely influence.

Its really not just anti aging. I live in a single digit humidity climate and I use Nextra Body for my dry arms and as a lip cream to prevent cracking and chapping.

Thanks for joining me today. Until next time, keep it natural.

The Keys Philosophy

i'm Bob Root,.

Today, let's talk about the philosophy behind Keys Natural Skin Solutions.

Keys was founded by Wendy Steele after her melanoma diagnosis made her realize how many chemicals we expose ourselves to daily through conventional skincare. She wanted products that were truly natural, therapeutic, and effective. That's when I was pressed to invent Keys first four products.

The Keys philosophy is simple: Products must use the highest quality ingredients from around the world in therapeutic proportions. They must do what they say they do without chemicals. And they must be multi-functional – one product should serve multiple purposes.

This isn't about marketing buzzwords. Keys sources pharmaceutical-grade ingredients: Shea butter from Ghana, virgin avocado oil from Southern California, Tamanu oil from Polynesia, carrot seed oil from Sri Lanka. These aren't random choices – they're the best sources of these ingredients globally.

Keys products are made in certified organic and chemical-free facilities. The formulas are developed through years of research, testing, and customer feedback.

This commitment to purity and efficacy is why Keys has such loyal customers who've used the products for years and report dramatic, lasting results.

Quality and integrity never go out of style!

Reading Your Skin

Hey, it's Bob, Today's tip is about becoming a skin detective.

Your skin tells you what it needs if you learn to read the signs. Tightness after cleansing means your cleanser is too harsh – switch to Keys Island Rx. Flakiness means you need more moisture – add Tortuga or Nextra Body.

Redness and irritation often mean sensitivity to chemicals or fragrances – Keys chemical-free products eliminate these triggers. Dullness suggests you need exfoliation and nourishment – the natural exfoliating properties of avocado oil in Keys products help here.

Fine lines around eyes mean you need dedicated eye care – that's where Eye Butter comes in. Uneven texture or tone suggests your skin needs the balancing properties of black seed and carrot seed oils found throughout the Keys line.

Keep notes if it helps. When did you start a product? What changes did you notice? After 4 weeks, 8 weeks? This helps you identify what works.

Remember, skin changes with age, stress, diet, climate, and seasons. What worked last year might need adjustment now.

Your skin communicates – learn its language!

Whole Body Skincare

it's Bob,

Today's reminder: skincare isn't just for your face.

The skin on your body ages too, but most people only focus on facial care. Keys Nextra Body Anti-Aging Moisturizer was specifically created for whole-body anti-aging.

Think about it: your hands, arms, chest, legs – all this skin is exposed to environmental damage, yet many people use cheap, chemical-filled body lotions or nothing at all. Okay, just for grins, compare the outside of your forearms to the insides. If they are the same, good for you. If the outside are darker, more marks and older looking, that is sun and environmental damage,

Keys products work everywhere. Luminos works on face, neck, and chest. Tortuga is perfect for hands, elbows, knees, and feet. Nextra Body is designed for head-to-toe application, building collagen and improving texture all over.

MetaCare and RediCare (the spray version) are excellent for larger body areas dealing with skin conditions, dryness, or irritation. RediCare's spray applicator makes it easy to cover your back, legs, and hard-to-reach areas.

Develop a whole-body routine: After showering, apply Nextra Body all over while skin is still damp, then follow with Tortuga on especially dry areas. Your entire body will thank you.

Don't neglect the skin below your neck!

Seasonal Skin Adjustments

Bob here.

Let's talk about adjusting your skincare for different seasons.

Your skin's needs change with the weather. In winter or dry climates, you need more moisture and protection. In summer or humid areas, lighter formulations work better.

Keys concentrated formulas let you customize based on your needs. In dry winter months, layer products: Start with Nextra Body as a base, follow with Luminos for your face or Tortuga for your body. This layering provides intensive hydration.

During humid summer months, you might use Luminos alone, skipping the base layer. The concentrated formula still provides everything your skin needs without feeling heavy.

For those in dry climates like Santa Fe year-round, consistent use of richer formulations like Tortuga and Eye Butter prevents that tight, uncomfortable feeling.

If you travel between climates, bring Keys sachets – small samples that let you maintain your routine without carrying full-size bottles. A little goes a long way with concentrated natural products.

Pay attention to your skin and adjust accordingly. Natural skincare adapts to your life.

Listen to your skin's seasonal needs!

Makeup and Natural Skincare

it's Bob,

Today's tip is about the relationship between makeup and skincare.

Keys Luminos was developed in collaboration with Hollywood makeup artists to solve a specific problem: creating a smooth, glowing foundation without heavy makeup that looks cakey under high-definition cameras.

Luminos works as both a moisturizer and a clear foundation. It creates a soft-focus effect that blurs fine lines and pores naturally, reducing the amount of makeup you need. Many people apply Luminos and mineral powder and they're done – no heavy foundation required.

Luminos also insulates your skin from the chemicals found in many facial makeups, creating a protective barrier. This means less breakout, less irritation, and healthier skin long-term.

Eye Butter works similarly around the eyes. It creates a natural glow and smooth base for eye makeup while treating the delicate eye area. The natural glowing effect means you might skip concealer altogether.

If you wear makeup daily, using Keys products as your base protects your skin while enhancing your makeup's appearance.

Natural beauty products and makeup can work beautifully together!

The Castile Soap Difference

Hey, it's Bob, Let's explore Castile soap and why it's special.

Castile soap originates from the Castile region of Spain and is traditionally made from olive oil. Unlike conventional soaps with harsh detergents, Castile soap is plant-based and gentle.

Keys makes modified Castile soaps like Island Rx and MetaClean that blend olive oil with coconut, avocado, and jojoba oils, creating a milder pH that's perfect for sensitive skin.

Here's what makes Keys Castile special: They add therapeutic concentrations of Neem and Karanja oil for healing properties, plus essential oils like clary sage for additional benefits. The result is soap that cleans deeply without stripping, rinses lightning fast, and actually improves skin conditions.

Customers report that Keys Castile soaps help reverse eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne. That's because they remove dirt and bacteria without destroying your skin's natural protective oils and beneficial bacteria.

One bottle of concentrated Castile soap replaces multiple products – face wash, body wash, hand soap, even shampoo. It's versatile, effective, and economical.

Experience the Castile soap difference!

Sensitive Skin Solutions

Hey, it's Bob, If you have sensitive, reactive skin, today's tip is for you.

Sensitive skin is often caused by compromised skin barriers and allergic reactions to synthetic ingredients. Keys products are specifically formulated for sensitive skin because they eliminate common irritants.

Keys Island Rx was originally developed for Keys founder Wendy Steele after her melanoma treatment left her skin extremely sensitive. It's hypoallergenic and free from perfumes, dyes, and chemical preservatives that trigger reactions.

MetaCare Ayurvedic Therapy Lotion is excellent for sensitive skin and post-cancer therapy patients. It's entirely natural with very few ingredients, providing quick relief to tender, sensitive skin without irritation.

Tortuga is another favorite for sensitive skin because it's so pure and concentrated. There are no fillers, fragrances, or chemicals to cause reactions – just therapeutic oils and Shea butter.

If you've struggled to find products that don't irritate your skin, start with these Keys essentials. Patch test on your inner arm first, then introduce products one at a time to identify what works best for your unique skin.

Sensitive skin deserves gentle, effective care!
