A place where skin concerns of black and brown individuals is front and center

OUR STORY

"Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science"

- Edwin Powell Hubble

Here at Askalite, we are obsessed with nature; the nature of the skin and what nature put to care for our skin. We also know pharmaceutical science dramatically increased our life expectancy & quality of life; using the gifts found in nature. Askalite is redefining skincare using that same science. To us, science and nature work in synergy unlike the narrative that you have to choose one or the other. 

Think about it, we humans have depended on nature 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. At Askalite, we treat skincare just like healthcare and 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 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, 99% of our ingredients are natural. 

Our Promise: Potent Marine & Botanical Ingredients 

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: Clean & Gentle

We don't compromise on quality. In fact, we take ourselves very seriously to compromise on anything! That's why our approach is clean 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.

Highly Effective Dark Spot Serum

"I'd give this serum 10 stars if I could, hands down the BEST DARK SPOT serum! I had sunspots and scarring from pimples that are darker than my skin color. This serum started with giving me a super, baby like, soft skin the first week. This is the 4th week and I am noticing my scares have faded so much and the dark spots are disappearing. . ."

Shelly D.

[Taytu is a] Hard-working product

"My skin was smoother and started glowing almost overnight. I have sensitive skin which reacts to most things on a first try so waking up to smooth skin tops it for me. The only other product that comes close to this serum that I have used is Shiseido's Bio Performance. Although great, it was too thick for me and would use it occasionally. . ."

Maggie D.

LOVEEEEE

"I love Taytu! I struggled with cystic acne for years and after I finally managed to clear it up, I was left with a lot of texture and dark spots. When I started using Taytu, I didn't really have high hopes tbh because I had tried so many products to no avail. The progress in the last two weeks alone is insane. . . My scars are already fading, my skin feels incredibly soft and the healthiest it's ever been."

Shannon M.

Remarkable

"Hands down [Taytu is] the best serum I’ve ever used. Just a few days into using this, my skin was more even and brighter as it says. This is worth trying! I love that the company stands for something good and works toward empowering other women financially as well."

Belen G.

HEALTHY GLOW

"A great find [Tana]! I love how glowing my skin looks after starting to use this serum. The texture is light and creamy but makes my skin feel soft. It has a refreshing herb, like a botanical garden smell but not overpowering. I'd recommend!"

Abraham B.
