Dr. Alkaitis uses an absolute guideline when formulating his products: “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin” ™. All Dr Alkaitis organic skincare ingredients are edible and are either certified organic, ethically wild-crafted and/or bio-dynamic. Quality is of paramount importance -High quality plants provide the greatest therapeutic potential.
It begins with combining ‘living’ edible ingredients. This is a sound methodology for addressing the largest ‘living’ organ in the body, one’s own skin. Only a skin product made with living ingredients can interact with each individual’s skin in a unique manner that assists one’s skin in reaching and maintaining its ideal homeostasis. Dr Alkaitis strives to produce a line that supports this cellular and biologically functional balance, that is aligned with nature and that supports the body’s natural processes.
In order to preserve the phytonutrients and therapeutic value of the high-quality ingredients, Dr. Alkaitis developed sophisticated plant extraction techniques that allow him to work with raw whole plant; root, stem, leaf and flower. The therapeutic value of a plant is found in the plant as a whole, not just in a specific part. These raw extracts are combined into his signature complexes; potent synergies of raw plant power, that are the heart of each of his products.
Never tested on animals, hand-manufactured, biologically active and edible, Dr Alkaitis skincare is raw, never heating ingredients above body temperature. Some extracts take over six months to mature in order to maintain the integrity and the therapeutic quality of the plant. This allows all these beautiful ingredients to remain full of enzymatic activity and in turn give full therapeutic benefits to your skin.
Free of any chemicals or synthetic materials, “plant derived” ingredients, trans-fats nor genetically modified organisms or any materials derived from them. Dr. Alkaitis products use 100% certified Organic Aloe Vera Gel as the product base, rather than simply using water. The effect of this practice is evident in the texture and consistency of the products.
Dr Alkaitis Holistic Adaptogen Skin Care
Dr. Alkaitis does not develop products for fixed skin types, instead he works with the intelligence of raw whole plants to develop signature complexes that act as adaptogens. The signature complexes make these products adaptogenic; they regulate your skin rather than pushing in one direction or the other. Dr Alkaitis organic skincare products help guide your skin into its own unique balanced state and help to maintain that balance. Think of them as health food for your skin.
As each individual is unique, so is that individual’s skin. Dr. Alkaitis’ Holistic Skin Food will adapt to and satisfy your skin’s unique needs. Products are therefore universally applicable to all skin ‘types’, all genders, and all races. They are particularly beneficial for those with dry, mature, sensitive or problem skin. Offering therapeutic skin care that thoroughly supports your skin’s natural tasks, the products work together to strengthen and balance the skin.
