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

    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.

    Essance

    I have been using Plantkos phyto Replenishing Facial Essence for about 3 weeks now and I am very happy with thos product. This facial essence is a refreshing and hydrating mist that I use after cleansing. It has a mild, floral scent and a watery texture. It feels very soothing and cooling on my skin.The facial essence contains a Complex that combines clinical actives and Ayurvedic herbs to replenish, refine, and soothe the skin. Some of the key ingredients are Rose Water, Chamomile and Licorice Root. Rose water helps to hydrate and tone the skin, while Chamomile helps to calm and reduce inflammation and Licorice root helps to brighten and even out the skintone. After using this facial essence, I noticed that my skin looks more hydrated, smooth, and radiant. My redness and irritation are lessened and my pores are refined. My skin feels more balanced and prepared for optimal absorption of other products. I love how this facial essence enhances the health and appearance of my skin.As a skincare expert, I would highly recommend Plantkos phyto Replenishing Facial Essence to anyone who is looking for a natural, effective, and gentle facial mist that replenishes and soothes the skin

How are your clinical studies conducted?

Our clinical studies use 3D human skin models – bio-first skin-mimicking structures made from young keratinocytes (human skin cells) and adult fibroblasts (metabolically active, collagen-producing cells). These models incorporate all the vital biological components needed to replicate normal skin function, allowing us to test how our products perform at the cellular level.

How are your clinical studies different from other skincare brands?

Most skincare brands conduct clinical studies using human participants and rely on subjective feedback. We test on 3D human skin cells to understand how our products work in the skin's deepest layers, objectively measuring hydration, barrier function, microbiome health and inflammation response. Learn more on our science page.

Is the synthetic skin model you use animal-derived?

No. We don't use animal by-products or conduct animal testing. Our skin models are created using human keratinocytes and fibroblasts only.
