Dr.Alkaitis is the latest skincare import to arrive from the US and is further fuelling the trend for natural products. With supermodels and the gorgeous Kelly Brook reported to be fans, it is also becoming the latest 'must have' on the bathroom shelves of those in the know.

The range is what is they call 'holistic organic "living" skin food' and has been created by world renowned and highly regarded plant and organics specialist, Dr Alkaitis, using certified biodynamic, organic and ethically wild ingredients.

And food it really is. Made from the highest quality plants, left in their natural state, these products are good enough to eat – although judging by the taste, you would probably be better off using them on your skin.

"Creating and refining our products is both an art and science. It begins with combining 'living' edible ingredients," says Dr Alkaitis. "This is a sound methodology for addressing the largest 'living' organ in the body, our skin. We strive to produce a line that is aligned with nature to support the body's natural processes."

The majority of skin care in today's market contains preservatives, additives and synthetic ingredients that don't support the skin's natural healthy balance. Dr. Saul Alkaitis set about developing the Dr.Alkaitis range, fusing science and nature to create a skincare range with a holistic approach to beauty.

So careful are they to ensure the integrity and therapeutic quality of the plants used that some of the products take over six months to mature.

The range consists of 9 skincare products each adapting to suit the needs of the individual skin type, preventing and treating the signs of premature ageing and hormonal imbalances.

Prices range from £36 - £65. For more information on stockists visit www.alkaitis.co.uk.
