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

"13 years ago, my daughter was born with a rare skin condition no one could solve. As a Doctor of Pharmacy, I became obsessed with understanding why some ingredients helped while others hurt.

At 40, my skin declared war - breakouts, dark spots, hyperpigmentation hit. No medical-grade, natural, or prescription product worked.

Until I connected my gastroenterology work: skin problems aren't about the ingredients. They're about the ecosystem.

Your skin is like your gut. It has a microbiome evolved over 200,000 years that decides whether it’s healthy or not.

Most women think inflammation, pigmentation and dark spots are just part of aging. It’s not. It’s a side effect of modern life - and it’s 100% reversible.

Now at 48, my skin is better than ever, and it has been that way consistently since using these products."

The Science

THE MICROBIOME CRISIS™

Your skin works like your gut - when good bacteria die, absorption stops.

Modern life and traditional skincare commit bacterial chaos and destroy your skin’s microbiome with parabens, phenoxyethanol, and wrong pH levels.

Now your skin's locked shut like a damaged gut. Over time, melanocytes produce pigment chaotically. Dark spots multiply. Sudden breakouts happen.

OUR PHYTO CLINICAL FITZPATRICK FORMULATION™

Took 3 years and 15-20 iterations per formula to achieve the impossible: maximum-strength actives in a stabilised formula that supports beneficial bacteria. We spent $40,000 proving this synergy works - maintaining pH 5.0, preserving your microbiome, while delivering clinical-grade actives deep into the skin.

Fix the ecosystem, unlock absorption, watch everything transform.

Key Ingredients

Our science team brings 15 years of pharmaceutical R&D experience, backed by $40,000 in clinical studies and 17 formulation cycles. We've mastered synergistic formulation, where restoring barrier function unlocks deeper penetration, allowing clinical-grade ingredients to work effectively without causing irritation.

    AMAZING!!

    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 Replenishing Essence (along with the gentle exfoliating cleanser and hydrating moisturize) and I have never had results this fast and this good! The results are absolutely AMAZING!!

    5/5

    This face essence has my skin glowing!!! I haven’t used a face essence In a long time so I was super excited for this one. This product is so calming in the skin and I love that it is a spray cap so you don’t have to put it on your hands and apply or put it on a cotton and waste product. I started adding this product into my facials and my clients loved it! There is something very calming and soothing about this product, maybe the chamomile! After just a week or so of using this product I saw great improvement in my skin. With this product you’ll see an instant glow right after it’s applied but if you keep using it I really think it makes a difference my skin definitely looks a lot more hydrated and healthy. I would rate this product a 5/5 and I recommend this product to anyone, I have been using it on my self and all deferent skin types and we all love it!

    Facial essence

    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. I love using this essencefor facials and intense hydration. The skin will start to glow. My friends and clients absolutely love it. 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.

    Essence

    Plantkos Phyto Replenishing Facial Essence has become a welcomed addition to my skincare routine. Essence has risen in popularity in the US but has been a key step in Asia, providing a refreshing and hydrating experience that feels like a burst of revitalization for the skin. Its weightless texture makes it perfect for application after washing my face, creating a soothing and replenishing effect. I think particularly value its versatility; whether it's part of my morning routine or used throughout the day for a quick pick-me-up, it consistently delivers a boost of hydration and a sense of calm to my skin. The thoughtful combination of ingredients seems to work seamlessly to leave my skin feeling not only refreshed but also noticeably revitalized without effecting my makeup in a negative way.I’d really like a travel size version to carry with me and use it through the day.

Learn more on our science page.
