ethnopharmacologist (traditional healing forms using plants), and pharmacognosist (medicinal properties of plants).

proach, hence creating one of the most dynamic personal-care lines available on the market today.

Dr Alkaitis has studied under and conducted plant research with four Nobel prize recipients:

WhaT makes dr. alkaiTis skinCare diFFerenT ?

All of our products are biologically active : raw, living and therapeutic.

Dr Alkaitis has a very strict holistic formulation policy: “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin.”™ Every single ingredient used in the skincare is edible and has been, one way or another, consumed or used by human beings for thousands of years for its therapeutic benefits.

We only use certified organic, bio-dynamic and ethically wild-crafted ingredients that we have been purchasing for years from the same farmers around the world to guarantee the highest quality, purity and integrity.

We do not use any water in our formulations. 100% certified Organic Aloe Vera Gel is the base of our products.

Only living ingredients are used – naturally all chemicals, synthetics, trans fats and GMO’s (genetically modified or-ganisms) are rigorously excluded.

We only use Certified Organic Alcohol. We also clean our lab worktables with the same Certified Organic Alcohol.

All of our products are made in-house in our California laboratory, including our own herbal extracts.

We do not use “plant derived ingredients”; our extracts are made using the whole plant: the flower, the root, the stem, which all play an important function in the holistic nature of our skincare line. Also, we only produce our plant extracts at room temperature, to maximize their therapeutic benefits.

Our products are freshly in small batches to guarantee their active benefits.

Our products are never tested on animals.

Our skincare is adaptogenic, it adapts to each skin’s unique needs and therefore is universal for all skin types and skin concerns.

All of our products are gender neutral. They are especially beneficial for people with dry, mature, or problem skin and for those with multiple sensitivities.

“I use Dr. Alkaitis Organic Skin Care products. It’s like aromatherapy for your face - it smells so good. There is nothing in these products that will strip your skin. It feeds your face and makes your skin look soft, moist and glowing. I walk around my house with my night cream on and I think, ‘I wish people could see me right now because my skin looks so nice’.” Alicia Minshew, actor

I just want to say how much I love the Dr. Alkaitis products. I’m addicted. It’s really been great for my skin and I’m loving the results. I feel and look younger for someone who doesn’t do Botox. I love the natural way. I can’t sleep without it. Thank you. Peace.”

“I love your skin care products! It feels great to use something so pure and at the same time effective on my skin. When I’m working on set everyday using makeup, it’s important at the end of the day to use something that is soothing, hydrating, and treats my skin well. Since using it, I’ve noticed my skin to be softer, smoother and more hydrated. I have allergies to many skin products, which can be a hassle when I’m working. Your creations never cause any irritations to my skin, which is really important to me. As someone who is concerned about the environment, it’s crucial to use a product made of organic and wild crafted ingredients, and one that is not tested on animals. Dr. Alkaitis has become a necessary part of my

daily routine. It’s a joy to find a line of skin care of this quality and purity.”

Daniela Sea, actor

“Since I began using Dr. Alkaitis, my skin has been glowing. The Elixir is hands-down the most efficient product to smooth out my face and create a feeling of buoyancy in my skin, and the entire regimen - from Organic Purifying Facial Cleanser to the Organic Flower Mask, Universal Mask and Enzyme Exfoliating Mask - all give me the feeling of being pampered and super close to Nature. This line is a keeper. ”

Elena Brower, teacher of yoga and meditation

“I am a huge fan of Dr. Alkaitis, when you close your eyes the smell is like being in a spa, when you open them your skin looks like you’ve just been to one.”

Lucy Halperin, former artistic director Revlon UK

Dr. Alkaitis is the only skin care line that I recommend to all the models and celebrities I work with.

This is truly the best and purest line available anywhere. Hands down… a winner.”

Rose-Marie Swift, make-up artist & founder of RMS Beauty organic color cosmetics

“Dr. Alkaitis Organic Facial Cleanser, and Nourishing Oil that I get from my make-up artist friend, Rose Marie Swift is the best product that I have ever used in my life.” Lisa Marie Fernandez, celebrity stylist

As a beauty editor in both New York and London I’ve been inundated with products and I find myself caught between the desire to use something pure and natural on my skin, and the need to have fast results from high-tech, scientific products (which usually contain chemicals). When I came across Dr. Alkaitis I was wary as there are many products that claim to be ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ yet still contain parabens etc. What I really like about the line is its integrity combined with the science behind the products. The masks in particular are brilliant, they smell good enough to eat, and leave your face in glowing health.” Antonia Whyatt, former beauty director at Tatler

“I try many different beauty products, but I keep returning to the Dr Alkaitis Day and Night Creams. I love the smell, the texture, and the knowledge that the pure organic ingredients aren’t thinning or harming my skin like some anti-ageing skincare.”

Kathleen Baird-Murray, leading beauty writer

“Dr. Alkaitis’ product line has opened up a whole new world for skin care. Since I have included the product in my makeup kit I have found a difference in the application of makeup as well as it giving the skin a vibrant and radiant glow on all skin types. One of the more important things for me is that I can trust the company and its ingredients… pure, raw, organic formulations. Thank you Dr. Alkaitis for shining a new light towards healthy skin.”

Alejandra Nerizagal, make-up & hair artist

“I have been using the Dr. Alkaitis’ skin care line, professionally and personally, for the past two years. I have been in the skin care industry for 10 years and I have not found any line that comes close to the way you formulate the Dr. Alkaitis products line and the amazing results we get with them here at Great Jones Spa. Dr. Alkaitis’ line is a wonderful treatment protocol also, for very delicate skin such a rosacea as well as extremely effective for those with severe acne.”

Karen Terranova, manager Great Jones Spa NYC

What inspired you to create the Dr. Alkaitis product line?

Over the years my wife would bring home a variety of personal care products from numerous sources, including health food

stores, and ask my opinion about them. After looking at the ingredient label invariably my response was “I wouldn’t put that

on my skin”. Having had more than a passing scientific and sociological interest in skin, our most social of organs, one day

I said “I will make you products for which your skin will be eternally thankful”. After five years of effort the core products of

my line were born.

With so many ‘organic’ brands out there, how is yours different? Why does it stand out?

I really did not start out with the purpose of making “organic” skin care products. My aim was to make skin care products

that promote and support a healthy skin in a holistic manner, products that anyone’s skin would be absolutely thrilled to

interact with and visibly express its satisfaction. These products are designed to simultaneously help bring the skin to

homeostasis, a state unique to each individual, and to help maintain it.

My approach takes two critical aspects of skin into account:

One is that your skin is a living organ. Our bodies evolved interacting with complex living food. Living food is necessary for

the promotion and maintenance of optimum health.

This leads to the first of my foundational guidelines in formulating my products: “If one feeds a living organism healthy living

food, it will be healthier.”

The primordial attractor is health. If your skin glows with health, it is attractive, irrespective of gender, race or age.

The other is that your skin is a two way street, it absorbs materials as well as excretes them. Just about anything that is put

on your skin will be absorbed and therefore go into your body. Simply put this means that you are “eating” whatever you

are putting onto your skin.

This leads to the second of my foundational guidelines in formulating my products: “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your

skin.”

This approach necessitates that I use the healthiest ingredients available. These are certified biodynamically grown materials

(sourced from expert biodynamic growers), certified organically grown materials (sourced from expert organic growers) and

ethically wild-crafted materials (sourced from virgin wilderness area and harvested in a sustainable manner). These materials

will possess the maximum therapeutic potential. These are then processed in a manner which preserves their “personali-

ties”. Nothing is taken out of its biological or living context. Throughout the whole process temperatures are kept below

body temperature in order to preserve enzymatic activity.

Being consistent in this approach to formulating and manufacturing, the products that I make in this manner are “holistic

organic skin food” and “therapeutic raw health food for the skin.” Consistency is critical. Even small compromises are fatal

to the effectiveness of the final product.

The key here is effectiveness. In today’s marketplace a multitude of marketing approaches are being employed to attempt

to satisfy the public’s growing awareness of and desire for “greenness”. One can narrow down one’s choices by looking at

the quality of ingredients, but ultimately the critical factor will always be: “How does my skin respond? How happy is my skin

with this product?” Over the years the answer from an overwhelming number of professionals that have tried my products

is “Very happy, with visible results in a matter of days.”

Page 29: BRAND PRESENTATION - Dr. Alkaitis WEB_feb... · est. DR. ALKAITIS HOLISTIC ORGANIC SKIN FOOD 100% Organic. Raw. Living. Therapeutic. BRAND PRESENTATION Dr. Alkaitis Holistic Organic

So I think that it is clear that with my approach, the term “organic” or “using organic ingredients” is not part of a marketing

strategy but is something that I have no choice about. If I am to get results I must

use the healthiest of ingredients available, which are certified biodynamic and/or certified organic and my processing must

preserve their therapeutic potential (health giving properties).

Why did you decide to have the products manufactured in house? Also, they’re all hand-manufactured. How does this benefit the customer?

I find science to be a critical tool in the service of life and adapt it to living systems, as opposed to trying to force nature

to conform to a machine. That is my manufacturing philosophy and is definitely not the dominant one in our world. This

certainly limits the choice of one’s potential partners.

Aside from manufacturing the most critical part of making my products is making the ingredients themselves, such as the

herbal extracts, castile soap base, and others. Being a scientist I must say that this process in and of itself is an art form, with

the only “quantitative” criterion for quality being the effectiveness of the final product. At this point I could say with great

certitude that the making of the ingredients will remain in-house in order to guarantee my products’ effectiveness.

All of the products are biologically active. Explain what this means to someone who doesn’t hold any science de-grees. Also, why is this is beneficial to the skin?

Since all of my ingredients come direct from nature all of the molecules are already in the proper chirality (or orientation in

3-D space) for living organisms. Also I do not take anything out of its biological context. For example, in a guaranteed potency

herbal extract, the guarantee is that the extract contains a minimum concentration of a specified chemical compound(s)

found in the plant. This chemical compound is assumed to be wholly responsible for that plant’s therapeutic properties.

The rest is assumed to be merely roughage which can be discarded. This is a rather simplistic approach. In the real world, in

nature, everything is interactive and the same compound in the biological context of one plant will behave differently when

in the biological context of a different plant. Sometimes these differences can be more than qualitative.

The same chemical compound exhibits different personalities in different biological contexts when interacting with other

living organisms. I like the analogy with a musical composition. How much is lost in taking one note out of the composition?

One chord? One phrase? One movement? The relationship between the notes is what makes the piece unique and com-

plete, that’s what gives it a “personality.” How much can one remove before the “personality” is seriously compromised?

The same applies to plants and other living creatures. The next level is using these individual plants as a palate to paint a

picture. I have developed my own techniques of making extracts which preserve not only the plant’s individual personalities

but also the complex synergies, interactivity and relationships inherent in a composition that contains a mixture of plants.

This is the ideal composition, a “living” product, for a living organism such as your skin to interact with. I should also point

out that all of my processes are designed to preserve inherent enzymatic activity. This means that I do not use temperatures

higher than ones body temperature.

Here on Saffron Rouge, the terms ‘certified organic’ and ‘biodynamic’ are familiar. But ‘ethically wild-crafted’ may be new to some people. What does this mean and why is it an important standard?

Wild-crafted plants are those harvested from unpolluted, virgin wilderness areas that constitute their native habitat. The

ethical part applies to the manner of harvesting. The plants are harvested in a sustainable manner and only those at their

peak potency are considered. Sustainability means that there are always enough plants left behind in the wild so that the

maintenance of a healthy population is never in doubt.

It seems that most brands ‘segregate’ their products depending on skin type (dry, oil, mature, etc.). What makes it possible for the products to be used on all skin types?

As I mentioned earlier in this discussion I approach the skin as a complete living organ, not as a collection of symptoms.

My products are made to simultaneously help bring ones skin to homeostasis and to help maintain it. This can only be

accomplished by making a “living” product. Since each individual’s skin is unique (as are the eyes, personality, etc.) and has

a unique homeostasis, only a “living” product will have the complexity and breadth to interact with that individual’s living

skin and supply it with what it needs (for homeostasis). All of the procedures that I discussed earlier are absolutely essential

in order for my products to behave in this manner, for them to be a “living” product.

The result is a line of products that will adapt to each individual’s skin’s needs. There is no need for a product for oily skin,

for dry skin, etc. The products address the imbalances in the organ as a whole and help bring it into a balance that is ideal

for that individual. My products are adaptogens for the skin.

Obviously the most important factor in a skin care product is how it treats the skin. However do you take other as-pects into considerations, such as texture or scent? How does this affect the end results?

This is a rather easy question to answer. I never let the organoleptic properties dictate the use of ingredients or procedures.

The effectiveness of the final product is the only criterion that I use in all decision-making.

Although it may be like trying to pick a favorite child, do you have any favorite products in your line?

Yes, it is hard to make such a definitive statement about one product and exclude the others since the line is not that large

and each product has its own fun personality. However, if I were really forced to pick, and I would have to be forced, I would

say that it would be either the Day Crème or the Night Crème.
