This cutting-edge dietary supplement, meticulously crafted by Eye Pharma, aims to revolutionize skincare, providing protection against the inevitable signs of aging and shielding the skin from the detrimental effects of UV rays.

Hy-C® is an energy booster designed to replenish what the aging process tends to take away – the vitality of youth. This “ready to use” antioxidant booster is presented in convenient single dose vials, delivering a powerful combination of ingredients to revitalize your skin. 

Ingredients:

Hy-C® stands out with its unique blend of ingredients, carefully selected to combat the effects of aging. The booster contains hyaluronic acid, derived from bacterial fermentation (not from animal sources), and an extract of red oranges sourced from the Mount Etna in Sicily. 

How to Use:

The Hy-C® booster is incredibly user-friendly, it can be consumed directly from the vial or diluted in water, making it convenient for those on the go. This booster provides a direct infusion of essential nutrients, working in harmony with the body to counteract the signs of cellular aging, photoaging, and chrono-aging.

Nutricosmetics Trend:

Hy-C® is at the forefront of the nutricosmetics trend, emphasizing the importance of systemic care that addresses internal deficiencies. Paired with Hy-C® Cream, a specialized eye contour product, this duo embraces the concept of providing the body with what it naturally loses over time. The booster goes beyond the surface, enhancing the efficacy of the cream. 

Replenishing Lost Components:

One of the key components in Hy-C®, hyaluronic acid, experiences a physiological decline starting around the age of 25, and we cannot replenish it through diet alone. By working deeper than traditional creams, Hy-C® not only amplifies their effectiveness but also speeds up recovery times, augmenting the outcomes of aesthetic treatments.

Hy-C® is readily available for purchase online or at your local Med Spa.

Cultural differences could impact the workplace. Understanding your own cultural strengths and weaknesses can positively improve collaboration among diverse teams.

The strengths of Italians at work:

Creative problem solving: Italians are creative by nature. They are excellent in providing solutions especially when there is no process or procedure in place!

Work & Play: Italians work long hours. They are committed employees and generally care about their workplace. Italians nature encourages personal relationships and exchange. Coffee breaks are frequent, and they are almost never taken alone because they are about enjoying an espresso while exchanging few words or jokes with coworkers.

Sense of the Aesthetic: Italians have a great sense of beauty. It might be ingrained in their DNA. They produced some of the most important artists of all times.

Interpersonal skills: Italian culture is relationships-based. Trust is earned slowly. A referral can make a world of difference when starting a new business relationship.

The weaknesses of Italians at work:

“Italians have weaknesses?” asked a client when I told him about my new article.

“Should I put conceited under strengths?”, I replied with a smirk. No further comment needed!

Discipline: Italians tend to lack structure. It is not uncommon to prepare an agenda for a meeting and end up discussing other topics. They have visions and ideas, but they may get lost during execution.

Bluntness: Italians can be confrontational and openly criticize others. They do it with good intentions, though. To them directness is a synonym of honesty and transparency. However, others may perceive their bluntness as rudeness.

Decision-making: Italians are slow decision-makers. During a meeting everyone is encouraged to express an opinion but after an animated discussions there is only one person that makes the final decisions. This is because Italian society is still hierarchical.

Effective January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) will require companies formed through document filings with the relevant Secretary of State or registered according to foreign state regulations, operating in the USA, and not falling under any of the 5 exempt categories (Reporting Company), must submit “Beneficial Ownership Information” (BOI) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the Department of the Treasury. This data comprises the names, dates of birth, residences or business addresses, and copies of identification documents for the beneficial owners of the Reporting Company.

The CTA defines a beneficial owner as any individual who, either directly or indirectly, through contracts, agreements, or other relationships, holds substantial control over the company or owns/controls a minimum of 25% of its corporate shares. Substantial control over a Reporting Company is deemed to be exercised by any individual who:

• Holds a senior officer position;
• Has the power to appoint or remove an officer or the majority of the Board of Directors;
• Has decision-making powers over significant business activities;
• Exercises any other form of substantial control.

Companies established before January 1, 2024, are required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report by January 1, 2025. For those formed during the calendar year 2024, the report can be submitted within 90 days of their formation and registration. Starting January 1, 2025, new companies must file the BOI report within 30 days of their establishment.

While we understand the objective of promoting financial transparency, it is crucial to emphasize that this new regulation differs significantly from the BE-12 Benchmark Survey requested for statistical purposes in the year 2023. The distinctions go beyond the required information, the recipient entity, and the scope, encompassing applicable sanctions as well.

Failure to report or the submission of false information may result in civil penalties of up to $500 per day or criminal penalties, including imprisonment for up to two years and a fine of up to $10,000, imposed on the senior officers of non-compliant companies.
