A Gut Pharmacist's Quest To Save Her Daughter’s Skin

13 years ago, my daughter was born with a rare skin condition that affects how her melanocytes produce pigment. Clinical products burned her skin. Natural ones did nothing. And no one could tell me why.

I am a Doctor of Pharmacy. I spent 14 years in gut health. So I went into the research myself.

The skin runs on the exact same system as the gut. The same protective barrier. The same antioxidant defenses. The same microbiome.

Two forces are destroying that system together. Oxidation hits from the outside - draining your antioxidant reserves faster than your body can refill them. Glycation hits from the inside - stiffening your collagen into rigid structures your body cannot repair.

They feed each other.

When my own skin broke down at 40 - constant breakouts along my jawline, dark spots that kept getting darker, sensitivity so raw I could not try new products without a flare - nothing I tried lasted.

So I built Plantkos the way I would treat the gut. Get to the root cause - the symptoms resolve themselves.

Every formula supports the skin's ecosystem through three core principles: hydrate, protect, and calm. With clean clinical actives and earth's most potent botanicals, we strengthen the skin's natural defense system and treat without triggering irritation.

My daughter gave me a purpose that made me look at skin differently. Now at 48, my skin is better than ever, and it has been that way consistently since using these products.

Founder, Plantkos

    Highly Reccommend

    I have struggled with acne/acne prone skin for the last six years. I have been through many dermatologist appointments and used prescribed topicals for all those years. After this last April I started to use the Hydrating moisturizer (along with the Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser and Essence Mist) and I have never had results this fast and this good! The results were AMAZING!!

    Plankos Truth

    Hello their beautiful listen to this; I know how much we like to use beauty product's for what the label says; but see me I like to be different. Switch it up a little challenge the product. This is because if a product does what it says it does as far as: tone, mousterize, calm redness it should work on whatever skin area u choose. So with that being said, Phyto A Face Lotion from Plankos is nothing but the truth. I used my Phyto A Face Lotion on my stomach. Yes my stomach because I'm a mom and yes my stomach had stretch marks and uneven tones. Not all gone away but good enoughto share the news. Sorry I didn't take photos because I was just playing around but I won't play around with you. It fades dark spots giving a even appearance also Reduce the appearance of scars.

    Love it

    One of my new favorite face lotions. As a mom who is breast feeding it is not recommended to use any retinol at all and this product is the perfect alternative! This product contains bakuchiol which is a plant based alternative to retinol making it totally safe for expecting moms and breast feeding moms to use! I have been using this product for several months now and absolutely love it. I even think I will continue to use it even after breastfeeding. The other ingredients in this face lotion actually are suppose to help acne prone skin, hyperpigmentation, inflammation and fine lines so not only is this product moisturizing but it is also helping with so much more. I rate this product a 5/5 and would recommend it to anyone because I don’t feel like it is over powering it is still very sensitive on the skin!

    Face lotion

    I was so excited to receive this product!  As an esthetician and a beauty junkie, I love skincare and unique ingredients that will get you thinking and doing more research!  Phyto is such an amazing brand and i loved every single one of the products that I received.   It is great for all skin types in my opinions and truly delivers what it claims.  It is hydrating and smoothing.  The price is also amazing and the packaging is adorable with the red color.  The products are gentle, I never felt scared or skeptical about using this brand that was new to me.  But i enjoyed it so very much and give it a 5 star rating.  I absolutely loved this thick and concentrated moisturizer to repair the skin barrier and give you the hydration that we all need.

    Phyto A Lotion

    This is not your average run of the mill facial moisturizer. Plantkos Phyto A Face Lotion is a powerhouse of hydration, enriched with niacinamide, bakuchiol, gotu kola, and turmeric. This blend not only deeply moisturizes but also works wonders in fading dark spots, calming redness, and minimizing superficial scars. Over time its brightening properties are amplified when paired with Plantkos Phyto Triple C Serum. The complete Plantkos regime makes it an excellent skincare routine, ensuring a hydrated smooth and supple base before applying SPF or makeup. I believe I will enjoy this facial lotion most during the summer. My normal combination skin is often a bit dry during the winter months so I applied a lightweight facial rose oil to seal in the moisture. After consistent use I noticed my skin was brighter, firmer and less dry.
