Meet LaVigne Natural Skincare Founder Linda Zaurrini LaVigne Natural Skincare is dedicated to making natural products that both heal damaged skin and protect against the effects of day-to-day stresses from our environment. Each product is created to work effectively within our total skincare system or by itself. All our products are 100% satisfaction guaranteed. President and founder Linda Zaurrini (nee LaVigne) has always had a keen interest in natural health and beauty. In 2002, while living in Mexico, she began looking into the healing secrets of the Mayans and visited with local experts to uncover the remarkable properties of Tepezcohuite.

All of LaVigne Natural Skincare's products feature Tepezcohuite (pronounced 'tep-ez-co-heety'). Derived from the bark of Mexico's 'skin tree', this non-toxic wild-harvested ingredient was used by the Mayans for more than ten centuries to nourish skin. World-renowned spas, such as Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, use Tepezcohuite in some of their exclusive spa treatments (available to their clientele on a very limited basis). LaVigne Natural Skincare now makes this special botanical gift from Mother Earth available to you.

In 1984, a group of medics witnessed a phenomenon in Mexico City. Hundreds of people had been severely burned in a series of explosions in a gas factory. The Red Cross successfully treated victims by dusting their wounds with Tepezcohuite powder. Tepezcohuite's regenerative action on the injured tissues worked wonders: it was so effective that it was used one year later when an earthquake caused a gas explosion in the Aztec capital. For many years, principal health institutions in Mexico have studied Tepezcohuite, also known as the "skin tree".
