A few Testimonials

"To whom it may concern, Some time ago, I was flying (trans-continental I think) on a plane and was accidentally upgraded to first class. One of the products that was given out with the compliments of the airline was your shaving cream. I didn't use it on the flight, but I took it home and promptly forgot all about it. When I took another trip, I went looking for a travel size shaving cream instead of lugging my big can of Barbasol. I found your product. This time I did use it and fell in love with it. What a difference! While there was no address on the shaving cream tube, the Action Moisturizer that was also given out had your address. I found you on the internet and went on your website and just ordered 3 tubes of the stuff (your nearest merchant is 2 hours away). While it is a lot more money than I am used to spending on shaving cream, I love your product so much that I'm indulging myself. For some reason, I thought you folks should know this. BTW, I was in Sausalito a few years ago. Beautiful place. Had lunch by the water. It was lovely. Thanks again. Ken K."

"Dear Jim, I received your wonderful products today. Just returned from a long weekend in Scottsdale, AZ. While I was there I gave my fiancée a sample of the men’s Shave Cream to use on her legs. She absolutely loved your product. Thank you again and I will start spreading the word. Best of luck, Mike S."

"Dear Jim, thank you very much for the California North Men’s Razor Shave Cream. The truth is I suffered terribly from razor burn, but was too embarrassed to ask anyone what to do about it. Your cream works perfectly, and I’m finally rid of razor burn, thank you, Max D."

"Hi, About 2 years ago or so I purchased O2XYGEN for Men and fell in love with the fragrance. I ran out of my favourite cologne about a year ago and have been unable to find it again. I am located in Toronto, Canada. I purchased the cologne at Eaton's in Toronto. My question is: Is this still available in Canada and if so where? Please help. Lost without my cologne! Darryl D."

"I have been wearing O2XYGEN for men for close to 9 years. I have had rave reviews on it and some of my past girlfriends now make their new boyfriends wear it. I guess the only reason i am wondering is why didn't you make more in the O2 line for men?? I would love to have a body wash and lotion. I go through about 3.5 - 4 bottles a year of this stuff but I would really like to see the entire package. Dan K."

There are three proven water and sweat proof sun products, including Titanium 4 Sunscreen, Titanium 15 Sunblock, as well as a superb Titanium Self Tanner with SPF 7 protection.

In addition there are four exciting fragrances ­ O2xygen Eau de Toilette for Men, O2xygen Eau de Toilette for Women, California North Eau de Toilette and Richardson Bay Spray. Rounding out the line is Pacific Lime Air Freshener, a uniquely refreshing environment spray.

By combining premium botanical extracts with the latest advancements in skincare technology, the entire California North line delivers optimum performance ­ including ease of application and absorption ­ with very little product usage. The only lab animals this line has ever been tested on are the myriad of professional mountain climbers, skiers, sailors, swimmers and other outdoor sports lovers who demand that the products they use not only exact little or no fuss in application, but produce immediate, first rate results. And, in keeping with the companyıs strict concern with the environment, all California North products come in attractive, well-designed recyclable or reusable containers, which are devoid of any excess packaging.

The development and formulation of the California North line began in 1990 By Principal and Founder, Jim Miller. He envisioned the line as a well edited, no nonsense, high performance skin fitness regimen for modern men to use on a daily basis. After years of R&D, in 1993 he premiered the multifaceted line exclusively with Nordstrom stores. To his surprise, he soon realized over 50 percent of the companyıs sales were being made by women who had discovered that the high quality products provided exactly what their skin and hair needed as well. Today Nordstrom, Spas, resort shops, pharmacies, cruise ships, and independent skincare shops carry the brands, here and abroad.

The California North line is, in fact, made in California ­ where desert, mountain and ocean microclimates mandate that products perform in all kinds of radical weather conditions. Home-based in a beautiful marina in Sausalito, California Northıs mission is to produce products which combat the negative effects of the environment while reflecting the splendor of the Northern California lifestyle, its serenity and natural beauty.

California North treatments using varied products are available aboard the worldıs most prestigious cruise liners and in premium spas.

California North has launched Appellation, Antioxidant Grapeseed Spa products for men and women. Five products are available now, a Therapeutic Muscle Soak, Purifying Clay Mask, Grapeseed Face and Body Wash, Microfine Scrub, and a Grapeseed Moisturizer.

It appears that the rest of the world is eager to share in Californiaıs gold, as California North products are currently available in many countries around the world.
