How do you know if the active ingredients in your skin care are doing what they're supposed to? The best way for ingredients to reach their full efficacy is through a skin care delivery system.

You may not have realized that the ingredients in many skin care products sit on the surface of the skin and don’t penetrate past the surface of the skin. Why is it important for your skin care to penetrate past the surface of the skin? The top layer of the skin is typically comprised of dead skin cells which are ready to be sloughed away. Your skin care can’t do anything for you if it only reaches these surface cells – you want it to penetrate to reach the newer skin cells where it can affect change. How good is an ingredient or product really if it can’t reach the area it is intended to reach?

One of the unique aspects about the Doctor D. Schwab products is that they utilize a proprietary patent-pending skin care delivery system called Alphasomes®.

Here we break down the benefits of this delivery system and what it means to you.

Alphasomes® Skin Care Delivery System

1. Soy Based:

Doctor D. Schwab’s Alphasomes® Complex is a natural Phospholipid delivery system which is made of soy based hollow spheres.

2. Encapsulates Botanical Ingredients:

In the lab, these soy-based hollow spheres are created to hold specific active botanical ingredients, encapsulating different ingredients depending on the product.

Some of the active botanicals which are incorporated into our Alphasomes® include Apple and Grape Stem Cells, Peptides, Olive Extracts, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacin, Vitamins, Amino acids, SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase), and stabilized Vitamin C.

3. Stabilize Ingredients:

Many active ingredients are inherently unstable when exposed to oxygen, light or other pertinent conditions. Therefore, encapsulating these active botanicals is also important in preserving their efficacy to ensure they perform well over time.

4. Time-Release Multi-Layer:

An added bonus to our Alphasomes® is that the spheres have a nest-like quality in that there are spheres within the spheres, creating a time-release system so that the active ingredients are released throughout the day as the layers of the delivery system are revealed. An example of this is in our Ginkgosome Day Time Serum which releases moisturizing ingredients throughout the day to keep skin hydrated and refreshed.

5. Transports Ingredients to the Target Cells:

These spheres are created with a micro-emulsion technology to reduce the particle size of the molecules to enable them to get past the surface cells to reach the targeted cells, resulting in superior product performance.
All of these attributes result in younger looking skin because the active ingredients are able to penetrate into the skin to deliver the ingredients where they can affect change.

Doctor D. Schwab Brand Under D. Kuster’s Lead

The quality, efficacy, and success of the Doctor D. Schwab product line, which bears the name of the homeopathic doctor whose practices formed the basis of the products, can be credited to Dr. Kuster, co-founder of the brand.

Dr. Kuster’s vast knowledge of botanics and his world-renowned, pioneering efforts in liposomal technology have earned him the reputation as “the Einstein of emulsion technique”; he is a leader in combining nature and science to create advanced, results-oriented beauty products.

The company’s philosophy—and that of Dr. Kuster—has always been to research, develop and manufacture products based on the purest naturals harvested under the strictest conditions in the world.

Primed from an Early Age for the Natural Skin Care World

As a young child forced to learn how to survive and fend for himself in war-torn Germany, Dr. Kuster and his classmates were commissioned by their schools to harvest herbs such as Chamomile, Peppermint and Rosemary. He has always credited this experience, along with his affinity for the outdoors, for his lifelong passion for nature which helped cement his conviction that medical science and nature must be combined for ultimate healing and longevity. The botanical gardens around the world were always his interest of research.

A native of Cologne, Germany, Dr. Kuster studied at the University of Heidelberg and received his PhD in Philosophy and Biochemistry from the University of Victoria and London.

Dr. Kuster then entered the field of cosmetic science because he could foresee technological advances in the area of cellular regeneration. Having worked with leading European skin care manufacturers since 1968, he established the research company CA Botana International Inc., Doctor D. Schwab’s parent company, in 1972 to research and manufacture unique effective skin care products based on plants, extracts and herbs. The company began manufacturing products under his direction in 1976.

Future Oriented Philosophy

Dr. Kuster has a future-oriented philosophy that leads him to think always of what can be attainable tomorrow. “If you are a good scientist, you always strive for more perfection,” he states, emphasizing, “If you stand still, you go backward.”

A true visionary in the research and formulation of anti-aging skin care products, he has now researched and developed more than 2000 effective skin care formulations over the course of his 35+ years as a cosmetic scientist. The products have never used animal by-products, only regrowable and renewable ingredients are used.

His development of the patent-pending micro-emulsion skin care delivery system Alphasomes® has led to the delivery of effective anti-aging ingredients.

What does Kuster see as he looks forward? “A healthy life expectancy of 120 years.” Thanks to the continuous development of innovative products, Kuster believes those additional years can be years of botanical beauty.
