Here at Askalite, we are obsessed with nature and everything natural! Think about it, we humans have depended on it for food and medicine ever since our very existence. Plants are where pharmaceutical companies were born and they continue to inspire modern day drug discovery. That's why we honor the limitless provision of mother nature for all our needs. We believe that living harmoniously within it unlocks a flawless life, inside and out. Founded by a well-travelled pharmacist, we pride ourselves in having an edge in the industry. To us, formulating is beyond chemistry.
We are so glad you are here and can't wait for you to try our well-researched, science backed and carefully formulated products powered by our proprietary Teff-Algae (Land-Sea Complex)! We should also add, we put the skin concerns of black and brown individuals front and center. We get it that skin of color has unique needs that's underserved.
Our Philosophy: Nature & Science
As nature intended, we look to it—land and sea—to find solutions and combine that with the power of innovation and science. Our Land-Sea Complex fortifies products here at Askalite to effectively transform your skin to the best version possible. Unless a synthetic alternative has superior effectiveness or purity, our go-to ingredients will always be natural origin. Currently, 98% of our ingredients are natural.
Our Promise: Transparency & Traceability
We formulate selectively with premium, clean and effective ingredients to give you superior quality products. The Askalite Formulas give you everything your skin needs and nothing it doesn’t. We also don't have anything to hide so you will find a gallery of all the ingredients we use (with photos).
Our Approach: Pure & Gentle
We don't compromise on quality. In fact, we take ourselves very seriously to compromise on anything! That's why our approach is pure and gentle. We do not and never will test on animals for the purpose of experimenting. We hold ourselves to the highest standards on the planet and go by the European Union Commission Regulations. We also follow the latest research publications to err on the side of caution. That's the reason ingredients listed below (among over 1300 others) don't have a place in our formulas. You can be sure our products are packed with time and research tested ingredients.
