HOLISTIC ADAPTOGENIC SKIN CARE SINCE 1996

Dr. Saulius Anthony Alkaitis is a highly regarded research scientist with a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from the University of New Mexico. In addition to being a chemist, he is also a molecular biologist; an ethno-pharmacologist (trained in traditional plant-based healing,) and a pharmacognosist (experienced in the medicinal properties of plants.) With his scientific knowledge and expertise in plant life, he fuses both disciplines into a holistic approach creating one of the most dynamic ‘living’ personal-care lines available on the market today. 

Dr. Alkaitis only formulates with organic, biodynamic or wild crafted herbs, plants, seeds, sea vegetables and oils in their raw state. The result is effective raw skin food that treats your skin as the whole organism it is, filled to the brim with exactly the nutrients your skin needs to radiate a healthy glow. Dr. Alkaitis makes his own extracts, using sophisticated techniques that allow him to work with the intelligence of raw whole high quality plants; root, stem, leaf and flower. Being able to preserve the integrity and therapeutic value of a whole plant in an extract is both an art and a science.

INGREDIENTS

Fierce Women Warriors is an Indigenous-rooted skincare brand dedicated to handcrafting nutrient-dense bison tallow balms while actively funding frontline community advocacy. Operating hand-in-hand with the Fierce Women Warriors Society, each purchase directly supports grassroots initiatives aimed at ending violence against Native women, funding self-defense and mindfulness workshops, and driving Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) awareness across Montana.

Formulated around pure bison tallow—a traditional, biocompatible fat rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and essential fatty acids that mirror human skin biology for deep barrier repair.

Frankincense has been used for centuries to support skin elasticity and soften the appearance of fine lines. Its rich, resinous profile is balanced by cedar's warm earthiness and a subtle, spiced sweetness from bay. Often called “Mother Nature’s Botox,” bay oil is known for its toning and revitalizing properties, helping skin look smoother, firmer, and more refreshed.

Unlike conventional moisturizers that sit on the surface, bison tallow works at a cellular level — replenishing, protecting, and restoring your skin's natural barrier from the inside out. Soft. Supple. Won’t clog your pores. Suited for every skin type, even the most sensitive.

The fresh leaves of Lemon Verbena offer an amazing fragrance – slightly sweet, as if you are smelling lemon-flavored candy. The scent is due to the high concentration of Citral, a citrus-lemon oil that is also found in Lemongrass, Lemon Balm, and even Lemons. This hydrosol captures that wonderful fragrance!

Arnica oil is a natural anti-inflammatory with anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties.

When applied to the skin: Arnica is possibly safe when applied to unbroken skin, short-term. However, it is likely unsafe to apply arnica to broken skin because it can be absorbed into the body.
