New York Natural Skincare Company to Participate in Holiday Shopping and Kissing for Charity Festival

    COLUMBUS, OH, November 16, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- JUARA skin care, an east-meets-west Indonesian line of natural skin care treatments, is co-hosting Holiday Shopping and Kissing for Charity Festival, an event organized by "Beautiful New York." The two-day event is Wednesday, Nov. 18 and Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009 from noon to 8 p.m at 48 Greenwich Avenue, between 6th and 7th Avenue, New York, NY.

"This event is an ideal opportunity for JUARA to give back to the community, and we're excited to share our natural skin care offerings, skin cream, natural soaps, body scrubs and facial cleansers with the shoppers," JUARA Founder Metta Murdaya said. "This beauty event will allow JUARA to highlight our goal of bringing back the traditions of the past by creating products that fuse the active botanicals of Indonesian herbal recipes with Western science to create products that represent the best of both the east and the west."

The two-day beauty event will encourage participants to embrass beauty and skin care products, while giving back to the community. To honor this concept, a kissing festival will invite shoppers to apply lipstick, kiss their Kiss Canvas, and write whom the kiss is for. The kiss and a donation of at least $1 will go to the PeaceKeeper Fund, which supports women and children living in urgent human rights situations. The kiss will also appear in the Kiss Museum online.

Other benefits of attending the beauty event include 20% off, or more, on most products, with 5% of the purchase price going to PeaceKeeper's Fund. The first 50 shoppers to spend $35 or more will receive a goodie bag of samples and gift certificates. Finally, if participants buy an item from all of the brands, they will receive a free silk/cotton scarf valued at $30.

Along with the shopping opportunities, "Beautiful New York's" Holiday Shopping and Kissing for Charity Festival will feature soft hand massages, mini facials, color cosmetic makeovers and aromatherapy advice. Other entrepreneurs in "Beautiful New York" include Peacekeeper Causemetics, Alison Raffaele, Essence of Vali and Jao.

The beauty days will conclude with a special event Thursday, Nov. 19 from 6-8 p.m. Shoppers will have the opportunity to meet the founders and share refreshments. RSVP to [email protected]. For more information, call (212) 228-9601.

About JUARA Skincare

Recognizing that present skincare offerings did not have solutions that were rooted in history and simple to use, four young friends sought to bring back the traditions of the past by creating products that fuse the active botanicals of Indonesian herbal recipes with Western science to create products that represent the best of both, the east and west.

Metta Murdaya, Yoshiko Roth, Jill Sung and Tami Chuang, four creative, culturally- diverse young women with a follow-your-dream mentality shared a vision to build a brand that combined their Western upbringing with their Asian ancestry and turned it into a passion for results-driven skincare. Together, they founded JUARA, an east-meets-west Indonesian line of treatments, reminiscent of the ancient spa experience, relevant to the savvy, conscientious person of today.

Utilizing active botanicals such as rice, tamarind, turmeric, candlenut oil, healing teas and red sandalwood, JUARA combines time-honored recipes for skin health and well-being with the best in modern technology and innovation to deliver efficacious and elegant treatments of the highest quality.
