Dr Alkaitis Organic Facial Elixir
"If you can't eat it, don't put in on your skin" Dr Saulius Anthony Alkaitis (Founder)
An introduction to Dr.Alkaitis by Vanessa Noy, Co-Founder The Natives Co.
One of my very first all-natural skincare purchases was this very product! It was many many years ago, I was blown away by the results and how quickly I experienced calmer skin. At the time, I was spending a fortune on laser treatment for red capillaries on my cheeks, nose and chin. I had only just started studying dermal care, focusing on using anti-inflammatory natural skincare. This product not only transformed my skin, but it also helped lead me to The Natives Co.
Before we delve into this specific product, let me introduce you to the world of Dr.Alkaitis skincare.
DR Alkaitis – Meticulously Formulated Since 1996
Organic and Natural Ingredients: Dr. Alkaitis’s products are formulated with organically grown, wildcrafted, and biodynamic ingredients. These are sourced sustainably and are free from synthetic chemicals, preservatives, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Combined with a gentle non-heating method of production this commitment to purity ensures that the products are potent, gentle on the skin and minimise the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.
Whole Plant Extracts: Instead of isolating specific active ingredients, Dr. Alkaitis utilises whole plant extracts. This means that the products contain a full spectrum of nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants naturally present in plants. Dr.Alkaitis works closely with their whole plant farming suppliers to ensure their ingredients are fresh and pure. These whole plant extracts are proven to be potent and very effective, as they work synergistically to nourish and rejuvenate the skin.
Eco-Friendly Practices: In addition to using organic and natural ingredients, Dr. Alkaitis is committed to eco-friendly practices throughout the production process. This includes environmentally conscious packaging, and sustainable sourcing methods by supporting ethical farming practices that reduce the environmental impact associated with conventional agriculture. With a focus on minimising waste, Dr.Alkaitis employs efficient manufacturing processes to minimise waste during production. This includes optimising batch sizes, reducing energy consumption, and implementing recycling and waste reduction measures in its facilities. By choosing Dr. Alkaitis skincare, consumers can support ethical and sustainable beauty practices.
DR ALKAITIS: Organic Ageless Facial Elixir Inspired by the Amazon Rainforest – By Trish Alkaitis
“I often affectionately refer to our products as
high vibration skincare because they are just that;
nature at its fullest potential, harnessed in a bottle.”
– Trish Alkaitis, CEO Dr. Alkaitis Organics
Today I want to talk about my favourite product, the one that I would bring with me if I was stranded on a deserted island: our transformative ‘liquid gold’ in a bottle, the Dr Alkaitis Organic Ageless Facial Elixir.
The Ageless Elixir is one of Dr. Alkaitis’ most profoundly complex, nourishing products, essential for mature and aging skin. It is inspired by some of the richest, deepest, and wisest specimens from the magical plant kingdom in the Amazon rainforest.
Harnessing the power of some of these magnificent plants, Dr. Alkaitis researched and developed this product specifically to help combat the signs of aging caused by the skin’s loss of hydration, elasticity, and vitality.
The Organic Ageless Facial Elixir contains some of the most high-vibrational oils that nature can provide. It is a concentrated serum that, with daily use, will start to rebuild and restructure the skin from the inside out. Although it is dense with powerful ingredients, this luscious serum glides on and absorbs quickly and easily, leaving the skin with a beautiful, youthful sheen that will last all day or through the night.

Who Should Use the Elixir?
Anyone can use this luxurious oil and reap the benefits, but this is definitely a great product to support mature, ageing skin and to rehabilitate damaged skin.
When Should You Use the Elixir?
Apply the Elixir whenever you feel your skin needs a boost of hydrating love, healthy glow and rich nutrition. If you are familiar with the Dr Alkaitis product line then you may already know that all our organic skincare products are multi-functional, and the same products bring balance to any skin and resolve a myriad of conditions, so there are no hard and fast rules for use. However, I would recommend using this exceptional product in the morning and evening for the best results.
How to Use the Elixir:
- Cleanse with the Organic Purifying Facial Cleanser.
- Tone with the Organic Herbal Toner (allow Toner to stay damp on skin)
- Apply 2-3 drops of the Organic Ageless Facial Elixir and massage well into skin.
- You may ‘end’ your regimen here, or, if you want more moisture, add 1-2 pumps of Organic Day Crème or Organic Night Crème to ‘seal’ the serum in.

The Difference Between The Ageless Facial Elixir and The Nourishing Treatment Oil
Now, I want to take a moment to answer a question I get asked all the time: “What is the difference between the Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil and the Organic Ageless Facial Elixir?”
The short answer is that they are two completely different products, and comparing the ingredients for each product side by side will clearly show this. Yes, both are highly efficacious and excellent for ageing concerns, but like the rest of our line, each product offers separate, adaptogenic benefits for the skin.
The Organic Nourishing Treatment oil is a multi-functional product designed to be used all over the body, head to toe, whereas the Organic Ageless Facial Elixir is targeted for the face, neck and décollete.
In simple terms, if I were to compare apples and oranges: we all know apples are good for you, and so are oranges, but you won’t stop eating one over the other because both offer vital nutrition and are complimentary to each other. Eating one gives you vitamins and nutrients that the other might not have. Well, the same advice applies to these two products. I LOVE making food comparisons because our entire line is RAW, LIVING, ORGANIC and made from EDIBLE ingredients. Our skincare products are also VEGAN (with the exception of our lip balm that contains beeswax.)
DR ALKAITIS Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil
Lightweight oil serum.
A fusion of the highest quality silky soft, lightweight oils, enriched with a carefully selected potent combination of plant extracts and vitamin complexes, brimming with antioxidants. Improves skin elasticity, smooths fine lines, reduces redness and refines pores.
Best for: all skin types.
Volume: 120ml
Take a Look at these Fountain of Youth Ingredients
The uniqueness of these three complexes lies in their formulation and the specific ingredients they contain:
- Dr. Alkaitis’ Signature Skin Renewing and Rejuvenating Oil Complex: formulated with a blend of cold-pressed organic oils known for their rejuvenating properties. These oils include nutrient-rich oils like jojoba oil, rosehip seed oil, and St. John’s Wort oil, which are deeply moisturising and help to repair and renew the skin. The cold-pressed extraction method ensures that the oils retain their natural potency, delivering maximum benefits to the skin.
- Skin-Youth Enhancing Herbal Complex Skin Renewing and Rejuvenating Oil Complex: Combines Dr. Alkaitis’ signature oil complex with a selection of youth-enhancing herbs. These herbs are chosen for their ability to promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additional herbs in this complex are gotu kola, horsetail, and bilberry, all rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that support calm skin, optimising the health and vitality of the complexion.
- Rejuvenating Oil Complex: This complex focuses specifically on rejuvenating the skin, utilising a potent blend of oils and botanical extracts such as argan oil, evening primrose oil, and sea buckthorn oil. All are renowned for their rejuvenating and anti-ageing properties. Additionally, botanical extracts like calendula and green tea soothe and nourish the skin, promoting a more youthful-looking appearance.
Dr. Alkaitis skincare offers a holistic approach that nourishes the skin from the inside out, promoting health, vitality, and balance. Its commitment to purity, effectiveness, and sustainability sets it apart in the skincare industry, making it a trusted choice for dermal therapists and those seeking a more holistic approach to skincare.
