Dr. 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. He believes that creating and refining his products is both an art and science. 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.

All of the ingredients in the Dr. Alkaitis line are edible. Dr. Alkaitis uses an absolute guideline when formulating his products: “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin”.

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. He is purist in every way - he does not buy extracts from an outside source: he makes all his own extracts in the Lab, all distilled at room temperature so not to alterate potency and purity of the actives. In addition, he uses only organic, food grade grape alcohol in the line – all the products are waterless- and with the same alcohol all the tools and tables in the labs are also cleansed and purified each day (there is no use of chemicals whatsoever even during process not just in formulations).

Products are all hand-manufactured as part of the brand's commitment to quality. Quality is of paramount importance. High quality plants provide the greatest therapeutic potential. Dr. Alkaitis uses certified organic and biodynamic growers who cultivate certified organic herbs, nuts, plants and oils.
