A Leader in the Botanical Skincare Revolution
For centuries, the use of plants has been used as a remedy for various conditions, both internally and topically. We know for healthy bodies we must fight free radicals through the use of antioxidants and with scientific support, we can have the same healthy benefit for our skin. Our botanicals come from all parts of the world; Asia, Africa, Europe, South America and of course the US and Canada. They are grown and cultivated to retain their purity and efficacy. We demand that our botanicals come from suppliers that meet these criteria. We do our own processing, using techniques that retain the beneficial properties in the highest concentrations possible, thus assuring our customers that GlyMed Plus is committed to an exacting standard of excellence.

Pharmaceutical vs. Cosmetic Grade Products
According to the FDA, Pharmaceutical grade products are required to be 99% pure, where Cosmetic grade products are only required to be 70% pure.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) divides skincare products into two separate categories: Pharmaceutical grade, Cosmetic grade. Pharmaceutical grade products you apply topically penetrate through the layers of the epidermis and affect the function and structure of the skin. Pharmaceutical products undergo rigorous testing that can go on for more than 10 years and cost millions of dollars. Pharmaceutical grade products are only available through a licensed professional. These products not only contain a higher percentage of active ingredients, but a higher quality of each ingredient. Active ingredients and percentages can make a difference in the skin leading to more affective and faster results.
