Man Junk Body Wash


Man Junk is a response to the gaping hole in men's personal hygiene. You can't go one set of commercials without seeing something specifically designed for women, their needs and aimed at improving their bodies. It seems someone upstairs has decided men don't deserve that same level attention, and Man Junk couldn't disagree more.
Developed by a man for men, Man Junk is a combination of world-class ingredients and relentless attention to detail. Any product that's made to clean your neck, back, buttocks or legs isn't going to provide the specific levels of odor fighting and skin treatment that Man Junk does. The formula is designed with the modern man, and his daily activities, in mind. The ingredients are second-to-none and deliver the ultimate in private hygiene. They include:
  • Totarol™, a potent anti-bacterial tree extract, is known to be effective against gram negative and gram positive bacteria
  • Malaleuca Tree Extract has known medicinal benefits, including antiseptic and antifungal action
  • Jojoba Oil, another active ingredient, functions as a waterproofing agent and aids your ability to heal
  • Aloe Vera helps fight inflammation and keeps everything soft to the touch
Man Junk's male hygiene products doesn't want to be like the rest of those cookie-cutter "health conscious" brands. Instead, they keep looking for ways to make life better for the modern man.

Where have all the macho men gone?

An increasing number of men, celebrities in particular, are now the face of L'Oreal lines and products. This is something that they use to think was feminine but now they realize that these companies want men who aren't afraid to use 'beauty products' because it is masculine after all. Men are now migrating to the tanning salon, seeing nutritionists/beauticians, and yoga studios. "iPod speakers come below hair dryers, straighteners, and grooming kits in the list of travel products men claim they cannot love without." One in eight men say they are unable to travel without a straightener; one in five men take a hair dryer on a holiday. The article claims male grooming is actually a giant leap in the right direction in the battle for equality between sexes. The term metrosexual is slowly becoming a more common word in our vocabulary to describe some men - not a girly man - but a man who looks after himself.

Electronics Give Skin a Sensory Upgrade

Your skin is the largest organ on the body and takes a lot of abuse over time. Skin protects us, keeps us at the right temperature, sheds when it's not needed and replenishes itself continuously. Researchers are now wanting to take the property of skin to a whole new level. They are tossing around the idea of using an 'electronic skin' to help people with artificial limbs to regain sensory abilities and can help machines understand the differences in force that are required to grip objects. Tiny stretchable electronic patches of skin will ideally be able to accomplish this task. Skin is taking an upgrade and this could mean a whole new world of experiences for people that have suffered the losses of limbs and wear prosthetics. This may be a large undertaking for the technological and medical society but this is the future...
