IBE LA 2017 The Indie Beauty Expo returned to Los Angeles on January 17 — 19. This year’s event was held at the California Market Center and showcased over 100 indie beauty brands from around the globe. IBE LA began with the launch of CONNECT INDIE, a full day dedicated to learning, knowledge-sharing and networking among exhibitors, brand founders, and industry experts. An hour-long interview and Q&A with industry legend, Bobbi Brown, capped off this amazing day. Day 2 kicked off with a two-hour VIP press and media event, during which IBE’s 2016 Best In Show winners were announced. Then followed SHOP INDIE, where hundreds of indie lovers got to try and buy from some of the best beauty brands on the market. Day 3, known as TRADE INDIE was focused on trade professionals where buyers came to find the next hot brands to add to their retail collection. Both show days were filled with activations from Thistle and Seed flower crowns, DJ Colette spinning tunes, a brow and lip bar by The Brow gal, hair touch-ups by Arrojo, as well as other amazing demos. There were also a variety of speakers and panelists who provided guests and exhibitors exciting presentations, demonstrations and Q&As.

A L E AV I A Aleavia Skin Care was founded by Kelly Graham after an exhausting journey to find a natural solution to deal with her daughters chronic skin issues. In 2012, it was by chance she was introduced to some exclusive prebiotic formulas that were over 20 years in the making! Made from only seven plant-based ingredients, yet doing unprecedented things to heal, rejuvenate and balance the skin, Kelly put them through the test on her whole family. When her daughter’s eczema was gone in 12 days, and her own skin became more radiant in her 40’s, she knew somehow she had to share the great healing power of prebiotics with the world! A year later, Aleavia was launched! Aleavia’s Prebiotic face, body and mists are formulated in a delicate 2 day process to solely feed the beneficial bacteria on the skin. The bacteria quickly multiplies to create a balanced ecosystem on the skin. This process results in beautiful pH balanced skin and a glowing complexion for every skin type, even the toughest of skin issues. Aleavia isn’t just another skin product; it’s a movement; A family with a mission to tell one person, one family at a time that the power of prebiotics and feeding your skin pure skin food will change the life of your skin Press: Professional Beauty Sport Eluxe . aleavia.com

C LOV E R & B E E S K I N CA R E Clover & Bee Skincare is an independent beauty company created by an established aesthetician who recognized the need for a more gentle and effective approach to exfoliation after her daughter developed extremely dry skin that was only manageable with prescription medications. After watching her daughter struggle with the side effects of medication, Clover and Bee founder, Christy Nichols, embarked on a journey into independent beauty and began to hand-craft a first-of-its-kind exfoliant using granulated honey as the hero ingredient, to help hydrate and heal the skin. The all-natural formulation blends the therapeutic benefits of granulated honey with ultra-moisturizing Babassu and Macadamia Nut oils along with the aromatic infusion of organic essential oils providing just the right amount of exfoliation before dissolving into a smooth blend of honey and oils that make for an indulgent exfoliation treatment in a spa treatment room or a spa indulgence in the comfort of home.

Crystal Love is a very feminine scent that captivates our senses and conjures up the essence of romantic love. Pure rose absolute and a rose quartz crystal are added into each Crystal Love product.
