Science-Backed Ayurvedic Skincare : Planktos

Planktos was established with a simple vision: combining the wisdom of nature from the east with the science of nature from the west. Led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Alicia Barba, Plantkos offers a science lead approach to skincare.

The first pharmacist-developed skincare line created for melanated skin, each Plantkos product harnesses the power of Ayurvedic herbal remedies and the latest skincare science. Combining these ancient, time-tested remedies with innovative ingredients, the formulas are designed with a combination of ingredients that have been shown to optimize benefits and are customized for different skin concerns.

Some standout products from Plantkos include the Phyto Exfoliating Cleanser, the Phyto A Face Lotion, the Phyto Replenishing Facial Essence, the Phyto Triple C Serum, and the Phyto Vitality Eye Cream. The Planktos’ Phyto line provides 100% botanical healthcare using a combination of phytoestrogens found in plants, nutrients for hormonal balance, and Co-Q10 which stimulates oxygen production in cells. All products are gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.
