ABOUT DR. ALKAITIS
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.
Dr. Alkaitis has studied under and conducted plant research with four Nobel prize recipients:
- Studied under Professor Melvin Calvin, UC Berkeley
- Research Professor Dr. F. Willard Libby, UCLA, inventor of radiocarbon dating
- Contributed to viral cancer research with Professor Howard M. Temin at the University of Wisconsin at Madison
- Studied under James D Watson, a seminal figure in modern biology, at Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory, Long Island, NY
Dr. Alkaitis’ in-depth plant studies exceed levels that few people have achieved as a chemist, a molecular biologist, an ethnopharmacologist (traditional healing forms using plants), and pharmacognosist (medicinal properties of plants). With his scientific knowledge and expertise in plant life, he has the unique advantage to fuse science into a holistic approach, hence creating one of the most dynamic personal-care lines available on the market today.
As a research scientist working with cancer treatments including plant use, Dr. Alkaitis, became convinced there was a correlation between our society's dependence on synthetic chemicals and the rapid increase in cancer and other degenerative illnesses.
Dr. Alkaitis uses his wealth of knowledge on the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of plants, to create skincare products that work with the health of the body. He does not tinker with them to create the synthetic hybrids common in today's skincare industry. He has achieved a level of studies and research in plant life and their healing properties that few people have attained; these achievements qualify him to create the ultimate in true organic skincare. He believes that although you cannot stop the aging process you can affect how you age.
His lectures “The Essential Foundation of Beauty is Health” have been presented globally.
What is dr. Alkaitis - Holistic Organic Skin Care?
dr. Alkaitis is a high performance, “living” skin care line, created by the highly regarded and world-renowned scientist, dr. Saulius Anthony Alkaitis.
Combining an in-depth scientific understanding with an extensive knowledge of the therapeutic properties of plants in their pure form, dr. Alkaitis is like no other “dr.” brand out there.
dr. Alkaitis uses certified organic, biodynamic and ethically wild-crafted ingredients in their raw state for the greatest effectiveness. There has to be no compromise with any of the ingredients and processes in order to deliver the very best results for your skin.
dr. Alkaitis treats the skin as a living organ, and if you feed an organ healthy “living” food it will be healthier.
dr. Alkaitis' extracts and products are all made in-house ensuring they contain only “living” ingredients.
“Living” means the highest-quality plants, left in their natural state, rather than having their potency diluted in a laboratory.
Plant extracts are often broken down into “actives”, taking what is seen as the therapeutic content, and discarding the rest. This goes against dr. Alkaitis' ethos of celebrating the full power of plants in their biological state. None of the extracts contained within dr. Alkaitis skincare are ever heated above the body's temperature, so preserving and increasing their therapeutic benefits.
When we say pure, we mean it. You won't find the "plant derived" ingredients, GMO's, trans-fats (which the body finds hard to break down), synthetics, or chemicals that are common in most skincare products. All dr. Alkaitis products are handmade from start to finish with Certified Organic & Wild Crafted Food-Grade Ingredients.
Skin conscious
Because it is a range of truly pure and natural skincare, dr. Alkaitis products work with your skin's natural functions – not against. Due to the “living” complexity of the formulations they act like adaptogens for the skin, adjusting to each individuals unique skin type, so bringing the skin into balance. Therefore you won't find separate products for oily, dry or sensitive "types".
The products correct the individual balance of the skin of each user to bring it to optimum health, and to quote dr. Alkaitis: “a healthy skin is a beautiful skin.”
History in your hands
In working with “living” materials, dr. Alkaitis carries on an age-old and almost forgotten tradition. From the first civilisations, there has always been a sophisticated knowledge of the natural world. This natural approach to healing has a long and honourable history of preserving the body's health and well-being. In comparison, synthetic products have been in use for little more than a century, and their effects are still largely unknown.
Why use dr. Alkaitis?
Skin sense
The skin is the body's biggest organ, and absorbs a large amount of the substances (both nutrients and toxins) that are put on it. This has an effect, not just on your skin but the way you feel both inside and out. Our skin acts as a direct line to our health, showing us when there are internal imbalances or intolerances. An organ that performs so many essential tasks needs proper attention and care. You can do this by feeding it the finest therapeutic health food for the skin, dr. Alkaitis.
Chemical non-sense
When synthetic chemicals are used in cosmetic products, they can have an obstructive effect on the skin, blocking sebum and resulting in the formation of blackheads or inflammations. Chemicals are also liable to dehydrate and clog the skin's important sweat glands, thus forming a threat to our health. The raw materials for these synthetic chemicals are machine-made products. Since machines are extremely inflexible, the raw materials necessary to make these synthetic chemicals must be modified and adjusted to fit the machine. This makes them unfit not just for our skin, but for our bodies as well. It is therefore no surprise that the use of synthetically processed and modified products clashes with the body's needs for natural ingredients and as a result always disrupts its natural balance.
Dr. Alkaitis sense
Because of this, Dr. Alkaitis, with a Ph.D. in physical chemistry, is well aware of the dangers of the many synthetic materials that have entered our modern lives. Dr. Alkaitis believes that caring for your skin is not just a quest toward superficial beauty, but actually a necessary part of your everyday health care.
Most skincare in today's market - even so-called "organic" and "natural" ranges - contains preservatives, additives and synthetic ingredients that don't support your skin's natural, healthy processes. Dr. Alkaitis developed his range, that combines the best of science and nature to create a skincare line that embraces a holistic approach to beauty.
