Vincene Parrinello, President and Creator of Sea Activetm Skincare
After spending over twenty years helping others replenish and restore vitality to their compromised skin caused by an illness and or medications it was time for developing formulas that contained natural, sea derived, skin replenishing ingredients that are enhanced by other organic botanicals to bring the skin “Back to Life.” Developing innovative, effective skin has become a life’s passion.
We are deeply dedicated and committed to working with skin care professionals and physicians to help them nurture their client and patient’s skin to look and feel alive and well again, all the while we are also feeding their spirits with incredibly revitalizing aromatherapy, while reducing their exposure to endocrine disruptive chemicals found in other skin care products.
We do not believe in over manipulation of the skin. We believe in balanced skin therapy with pure ingredients and formulations that offer unique delivery systems to help replenish the skin and restore its vitality. We do not use any petrochemicals,parabens, sulfates, formaldehydes or hydroquinone and take pride in our naturopathic formulas. Our batches are made frequently in smaller quantities than most companies, but, we believe fresh is better!

How It All Began…The Extraordinary Sea Activetm Skincare Story
With her educational background in nursing, Vinni Parrinello came to learn that medicine mimics nature. Pharmacology is based on nature and it’s duplicate specific properties are recreated synthetically in laboratories.
Since Vinni’s first visit to a famous Apothecary in Florence, Italy she has been intrigued with the European approach to wellness. It confirmed everything her Sicilian grandmother would do when caring for the family. The European apothecaries create natural serums from plants and botanicals. Vinni left Italy with a greater knowledge and understanding that the solutions for many of our health concerns can come from nature. However, the medical side of her also realizes the importance of medicine. She also understands first hand, that to battle an illness and emerge the victor, one must take charge in their recovery process. The physicians, medications and surgeries are an important part, but it is the spirit, the body and the mind when integrated into a recovery program that really seems to make a difference. She found that skin care became an important connection to those aspects of wellness, knowing this she intensively focused on studying and searching for botanicals raised on organic farms but also took to the gardens that lie deep in the sea. Here she found ingredients so beneficial to her fragile, immune compromised skin that she began to create her own ingredients using these sea botanicals.
Some people say that Vinni is a walking miracle. Maybe so. She started a business on a shoestring budget, following a battle with cancer and other health issues. No one thought a former nurse, with no experience in cosmetics or sales, would ever succeed in this highly competitive market. Customers have brought us this success. They keep coming and we are happy to be here for them. Hearing their testimonial stories helps all of us heal. We see true beauty exude from each of customers. For those who feel “beauty” for the first time, we believe our naturopathic formulas illuminate the beauty that was already there.
Vinni is a 24 year cancer survivor. Not a day goes when she doesn’t praise God for watching over her, giving her the insight to focus on the things she could change to enhance her health and for providing her with excellent health care providers so that she could be here today, helping others.
It takes care and respect for nature’s chemistry to formulate pure, effective skin care products that will nurture our skin, spirit and life. We took what appeared to be ordinary ingredients from land and sea, blending them with other fabulous ingredients and created an extraordinary skin care line.
