Featured Gift Giving Items from SMB Sponsors
James Anthony Beauty Products
SMB is obsessed with all things from James Anthony Skincare. Not only is all the products fantastic, we love that this is a local company doing amazing things. We wanted you to hear directly from the founder about what makes their products so special.
Hi, I’m Jennifer the founder and CEO of James Anthony Skincare. I have been in the beauty industry for about 20 years now. Dealing with rosacea, breakouts, aging and very sensitive skin my whole life I have tried so many products. I have tried everything from so organic that you could literally eat them, which I might have done…to products with so many chemicals that I had to get them from a dermatologist. It was like no matter what I used I would have some kind of negative reaction and or no real results. So I developed James Anthony Skincare. You’re probably asking why is James Anthony so different than the millions of skin care products on the market; well let me tell you why!
The peptides that are used in James Anthony Skincare are like no other on the market at this present time. They are peptides that are used in organ transplant operations to keep the organ alive from harvest to implantation. So just imagine if this peptide keeps organs alive what could it do for your skin?

Lylah Ledner Bespoke Skin
SMB loves all things from Lylah Ledner Bespoke Skin Care which is a farm to face beauty skin care line.
Traditionally, ‘farm to face’ meant that ingredients came from a local source. But they take farm to face to a whole new level. This means that they grow (as many as possible) the botanicals for their products, and that they make the luxury skin care collection on site, in the farm’s apothecary kitchen. They grow, formulate, create, bottle, package and ship directly to you from the farm. They am obsessed with providing you the freshest possible products all from the Scottsdale Farm.
