As a pharmacist, Clinical Health Practitioner and Fellow in Anti-Aging Functional Medicine, I wanted to find a pure and chemical-free skin care line for myself and my family. Each time I found a product that seemed to be natural or organic, I discovered that it contained harmful ingredients or lacked proper packaging. From my research and studies, I learned that for a product to be truly pure and organic, it cannot contain any synthetic ingredients, including chemical bases often not disclosed in ingredients, and must be stored in a dark glass container to preserve effectiveness.

Products with synthetic ingredients can actually age and damage our skin with long-term use. Not only that, the California Safe Cosmetics Act of 2005 lists more than 780 chemicals that are known to cause cancer, reproductive disorders, liver damage and other serious illnesses. Sadly, I discovered that most commercial skin care products, even those claiming to be natural or organic, contain many of those ingredients. Just like our stomach processes the food we eat, our skin absorbs what is applied topically, and transfers it directly into our bloodstream and organs. If a skin care product is labeled as “Harmful if swallowed” or “For external use only”, how can that product be safe to apply to our skin? I believe that the choices we make about our skin care products are as important as the food we eat. This is our core philosophy and the foundation upon which we make our products.

It has taken many years to perfect our formulas to be simple, yet effective. Every herb and essential oil used in our products has been carefully selected to nourish, restore, and heal. Our products are sold primarily by dermatologists and Anti-Aging health care Practitioners who share our vision of bringing out natural, long lasting beauty from the inside. Wholistic is your chance to make a change, shine naturally, and live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
