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.

Dr. Alkaitis' non-drying organic face cleanser gently but thoroughly melts away impurities, leaving your skin dewy, soft and radiant. Strengthens your skin and aims to balance and restore your skin's natural pH-balance. Recommended for all skin complexions. Contains Vitamin A from organic Carrot and Marigold Extract and  Vitamin C from Camu Camu and Acerola extracts. Formulated with Dr. Alkaitis' signature Cleansing Base and Herbal Skin Repair Complex

The soft and creamy Cleansing Base of this facial wash is compounded of the highest-quality cold pressed oils that are infused with the medicinal herbs and plants of Dr. Alkaitis’ Herbal Skin Complex. At the base of this complex are the raw extracts of the Althaea Officinalis root, well-known for powerful antibacterial properties and raw extracts of the Sambucus Nigra flower that is brimming with antioxidants due to the flavonoids that are naturally present. Raw extracts of complementary ingredients are added to this blend to form a whole that deeply cleanses while balancing and strengthening the skin.
