This is another question we are commonly asked, so we thought it would be worthwhile to address it here on the blog.
The short answer is that there are no specific, known restrictions on using any Diana Stalder product during pregnancy. But it must be said that the effects of many of the ingredients have not been fully studied on pregnant women, so there’s no way to know with certainty the safety—there just aren’t enough data, good or bad.
Some of the milder products like the Glycerine Beauty Bar and Oatmeal Beauty Bar are well accepted as being safe for pregnant women, but most of the other products/ingredients just haven’t been studied in this regard. So we recommend that you make your own decision based on discussions with your doctor, or simply err on the side of caution and discontinue use until the happy day when your baby arrives.
Sorry we can’t give a more definitive answer. Also, keep in mind that it’s very common during pregnancy to experience acne, melasma, darkening and other changes to your skin; it’s often difficult to completely counter these effects during the pregnancy, but in most cases they can be easily addressed shortly after delivery.
As always, if you can’t find the answer to your questions in our FAQ (www.DianaStalder.info), feel free to drop us a note and we’ll be glad to help!

This is a question we receive fairly often. We’ve covered it in the FAQ (www.DianaStalder.info), but thought it would be good to address the topic here on the blog as well.
In short, Diana Stalder skin whitening and lightening products work by inhibiting the formation of melanin in various ways. Melanin is the color pigment of the skin. Melanin is synthesized in specialized cytoplasmic organelles called melanosomes. Within the melanosome, the conversion of the amino acid tyrosine to melanin is catalyzed by the enzyme tyrosinase. The melanosomes in darker portions of the skin are more active than those found in other areas of the body. Most of the key ingredients in these products either inhibit the production of tyrosinase or inhibit melanosomal activity. Some of the products also promote exfoliation, removing the outer layers of skin to expose the whiter you, hiding below!
If you have specific questions that we can’t answer directly, we’re always happy to talk with the staff pharmacists, the R&D team, the regulatory compliance manager, or anyone else at the Stalder factory or headquarters and get you an answer.

We often get inquiries from our customers who love Diana Stalder products so much, they’d like to resell them. One of the questions we are most frequently asked is "Do you offer wholesale pricing for large orders?"
The answer is ABSOLUTELY! As the oldest and largest authorized distribution center outside of the Philippines, we actually supply several retail stores, spas and individual resellers. We even supply a very successful beauty shop in West Africa!
Our low wholesale prices start at a minimum order of $300 (USD), and anyone can qualify, even individuals with no previous sales experience. Licensed businesses supplying a reseller’s certificate and/or tax ID may qualify for even better wholesale pricing with a larger net minimum order. So whether you want to want to supply your retail storefront, resell to friends and family, or you just want to get the best pricing for your own personal use, just let us know and we can provide full details via e-mail (SouthGain@SouthGain.com).

Sorry we haven’t been keeping up with our blogigng very well recently. We’ve been really busy making some big changes at SouthGain-Skin-Care.com:
FREE U.S. shipping!
Deeply discounted international shipping!
FREE shipping insurance!
Every product. Every order. Every time!
Yes, that’s right—in response to strong demand from our customers, we’ve switched entirely to FREE shipping for all U.S. buyers on every Diana Stalder product. We’ve also significantly discounted all international shipping. And to complete the triple play, we’re providing FREE shipping insurance on every shipment—no extra charge! See the “Shipping” and “Important Terms” pages at SouthGain-Skin-Care.com for additional details.
As if that wasn’t enough, we are also currently running the following promotions: Automatically receive 10% off any order of $100 or more, or take 15% off any order of $150 or more (not including shipping charges). Discounts will be applied automatically during the checkout process. These special promotions are only available for customers of SouthGain-Skin-Care.com!
SouthGain is the oldest and largest (and we’d like to think the best!) Diana Stalder distributor outside of the Philippines. But we’re not "resting on our laurels" as they say. We continue to provide the best overall value to our customers, and we’re always looking for ways to improve! Feel free to drop us a note or post a comment here if you ever have any suggestions.

Actually, we’ve been on Amazon for a few weeks now, but after some testing, we are fully up and running on “The River” (as it’s affectionately known in some circles). As always, the absolute best prices on genuine Diana Stalder products can still be found in our own web store at www.SouthGain-Skin-Care.com, and we’re still leading the pack on eBay (eBay.SouthGain.com), but if you prefer to shop on Amazon, that option is now available to you.
Our complete inventory on Amazon can be found here:
Amazon.SouthGain.com
We have more big news in the works, so look for additional announcements here soon. As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to leave them here on our blog, or e-mail us directly at SouthGain@SouthGain.com.

Hi gang! Sorry we haven’t posted anything here in quite a while. It’s been very busy around the SouthGain office, and our blog has been neglected a bit. We’ll try to do better!
Tim, Joana and John (Phivocs) took a much-needed vacation to Europe over the last 10 days while Josh single-handedly packed and shipped all your orders. Thanks to you, our customers, that’s become quite a big job for just one person, but Josh managed to do it well. Armed with BlackBerries, laptops, cell phones, Skype, Wi-Fi and even an iPod Touch, we somehow managed to stay up with customer e-mails and voice mails during our quick trip. Thanks for your patience if it took a little longer than normal to get back to you.
Now that we’re back home, we are planning some exciting changes at SouthGain over the next couple of weeks. We’ll announce the details here when everything is ready. But we just wanted to give some advanced warning in case you happen to notice anything unusual during the transition period while we implement the changes. Hopefully everything will go smoothly, but if you see something that seems to be broken, don’t hesitate to drop us a note. Thanks!
